August Favorites

I thought I would kick off my weekly blogging with a favorites post. The featured products here are some of my favorites over the month of August. I would definitely buy these products again and wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending them to others. Check them out...


Country Heat!!!! The newest Beachbody program by Autumn Calabrese. I love this program. I have several of the other programs but I think this might be my favorite because it's FUN! A 30 minute dance workout that totally has me breaking a sweat. I actually look forward to my workouts.


Elf products are sometimes hit and miss (don't get the mascara!) but this one is a keeper. For $3 this is a great tinted moisturizer. It smells good, has decent coverage and takes care of my skin. I use this on days when I'm not into the full makeup look (hello heat!) or under my foundation for a good base coverage.

Kind Bars!! I usually have one of these in my bag for a snack. They manage to hold me over long enough until I can get a real meal. I have not found a flavor that I don't like.

I bought this to participate in a wellness challenge at work. I've tried journaling in the traditional sense and was never able to keep up. The one sentence a day approach is a lot less intimidating and I'm loving it.


Soap & Glory and Fresh products are my skin care jam! I had the shower gel that goes with the Righteous Body Butter and I fell in love with the scent. It's very citrusy and fresh and I want to drown in it. I decided to get the lotion to see if it had fragrance staying power and it does. Yum! The Heel Genius is equally amazing. It makes my feet soft as baby's bum. Soap & Glory products are some of my favorites skin care items. Fresh is also a favorite. I'm not a fan of the price tags but there is no denying that they do what they say they will do. I picked up the Umbrian Clay Oil-Free face lotion (I've also used the Lotus Youth Preserve which is good in winter) upon suggestion of the Sephora lady. I have been having super oily skin in my t-zone and my pores are craters right now. It's making me super self conscious! This lotion, combined with the Umbrian clay mask and toner (got samples....need full size) are working wonders. Highly recommended for oily skin.


And that's all for this month. What have been your favorites?

Honesty...WTF?

It might just be me but I feel like every mommy blog is geared toward mom's with little kids.  Or pregnant moms.  Where are the mom's with teens?  Every health blog seems like the blogger is already at their goal or living nothing but a healthy life.  The design blogs are always picture perfect and everything looks immaculate. Beauty bloggers...they seem so good at what they do.  It's like I'm all fucked up living in a perfect blog world and trying to keep up!  lol

I'm not put together or where I want to be or even skilled at blogging (I can't take a good pic to save my life!).  I skip months at a time and forget this blog exists.  I decided to do a health blog and then get bored with that and want to do a beauty blog.  Sometimes I want to do a fashion blog and then I laugh like a hyena because I know NOTHING about fashion.  The only thing I know for certain is that I want to blog about something so I get on here once in a while and type out some crap just for fun.  The beauty is that I can do that and I can do it when I want to!

Today I wanted to blog about my fave beauty products but then I got all lazy about taking pictures. I also wanted to blog about Country Heat, the new Beachbody program, but again, the details of doing that seemed too involved. Hahaha.  

This post may seem like total BS but for me it's checking in to see if I want to keep up and blog in general.  I know that I have no readers (ok, maybe there is one) but blogging is somewhat fun when you know what you want to talk about.  

I'm going to try super hard to get one blog post up a week.  SMART goals, you know?  I'm not going to call this a beauty blog or a health/fitness blog or a mom blog.  I'm just going to call this a "whatever the fuck I want to write about" blog.  Hopefully I can keep up with that.

Off to get some ideas on the "blog planner"...
