product love {june}

I may say this every month, but how is it already JULY?  It's gonna be December before we know it!

A few new things this month, and one oldie that's been slightly revamped!  

L'Oreal Paris' leGloss in the color NUDE TOUCH-I bought this after being in a wedding last weekend.  The bride used it and I snuck some on after her and loved it as well!  I already had a matte color on, but this toned it down a bit and gave it a beautiful shimmer!  I plan on trying out some other colors, but this has been my go to every since! 

Neutrogena's Night Calming makeup remover towelettes-These are a classic, but I like that they came out with a "night time" one!  The smell is so refreshing yet still get the job done of getting all your makeup off if you're too lazy to take a shower--which is especially true for me during the summer!  I've been traveling a lot and these have come in really handy late at night when I'm finally crawling in bed and don't want to "really" wash my face.

Hawaiian Tropic's Silk Hydration After Sun Lotion & Gel-I did receive this complimentary from Influenster...BUT it would have been on my product love list anyways!  I'm a HUGE after sun lotion fan and the smell of this stuff can't get any better!  I've been using their Lime Coolada for years, but this stuff has taken over!  I love that it's a combo of lotion and gel which basically kills two bird with one stone!  I dare you to just smell it next time you are at the store, and please tell me if you don't like it! ;)

That's all folks!  Happy July 1st--I can't wait to find some new products this month to share with you soon! 

product love {may}

Lots of beauty products this month!  This aren't actually all "new" to me but I've had to restock my supply of a few of them this month and was reminded why I love these products so much!  

Physician's Formula RX Concealer in green--I've been using this for a little over a year and just ran out of my first tube.  You might be thinking GREEN--whaat?!  I decided to give this stuff a try because I have such an olive-colored skin tone and regular colored concealers don't always do the trick for my skin, especially with red blemishes.  The first time I tried it, it was a traumatic experience because I used WAY too much and I looked like Shrek!  But I gave it another try and didn't use as much and it definitely gets the job done!  I use my foundation right on top of it and it covers up the green 100% 

AND you don't see any redness popping through!  HERE is a better explanation of why green is better for some people.  

L'Oreal's Double Extend Mascara--I've been using this since Mama Laughlin posted about it years and years ago!  The white creates "tubes" on top and around your lashes to make them thicker and longer...and then the black is regular mascara to cover up the white tubes.  When taking this mascara off it will seem different at first until you get used to it.  I get my face wet in the shower and slowly drag my finger tip down across my lashes...those "tubes" will literally slide right off and you can feel and see them.  Again...not bad, just different than regular mascara!  I love this stuff though--I used to change mascaras every time I needed a new tube in hopes of finding a "better" one, but that hasn't been the case since the first time I tried this stuff!  

Fergie for Wet n wild Shimmer Eye Primer--I got a sample tube of Urban Decay's eye primer with my NAKED palette and really liked the way it held my eye shadow on all day, but was looking for something with a more reasonable price.  I ran across Fergie's at Walgreens and was excited to try it.  It did the EXACT same job (if not better) as Urban Decay's at a 1/6th of the price!  I was prepared for it to not be as good, BUT IT WAS!!  They have since come out with the "Shimmer" version which I've really liked as well.  Sometimes I even just wear the primer as a shadow if I'm just out running errands for a few hours.  I've heard the shimmer is Limited Edition though but I'm not sure...You can only find Fergie stuff at Walgreens though--trust me, I've looked!  HERE is a good review of the product if you want more details and results! 

Secret's Brazil Deodorant--Well, I never though I would want to rave so much about a simple drugstore deodorant, but this stuff has changed my mind!!!--The smell y'all!!!  It won me over in the middle of the Target aisle and I couldn't get home with it fast enough to put it on!  Even if you are perfectly happy with your current deodorant, please just stop and smell this stuff next time you're at the store!  They also have a Paris and Hawaii scent that were pretty good too...but this stuff!!  {HEARTS IN EYES}  Even Ryder smelled it and said, "WOOOW Mom!  That smells SO good!" I wish I could get this in a Scentsy wax for my entire house!  Now...that's love! :P

Happy beginning of JUNE {how is that even possible?!} my friends!  We are almost half way through 2014 and headed on to bigger and better things!

product love {april}

First off...can we talk about the fact that it is already May??  Weren't we just all planning what we were going to do for New Year's Eve?!  Super cliche, but time is just flying BY and will my baby seriously be FIVE in September?  That's NOT okay!

Moving on...I had a few new things I tried this month, but I narrowed down the list to three for you guys!  I also like to provide a variety of products, so this is what I came up with!  

Swiffer's Sweep & Trap--I'm not one to fall for those goofy commercials on TV, and I've never been one to use a Swiffer just because they seemed too good to be true and they were kinda expensive!  I have 100% hardwood floors in my house, and I usually just use my vacuum to "sweep"...but that's not something I wanna do every night to clean up the high traffic areas in our house!  Ya feelin me on that one?!  So when I saw somebody on IG {thank YOU!}share a video of them using their Swiffer Sweep & Trap, I knew I had to have one!  Next time I was at Kroger, I picked one up and I have been loving it every since!  No, it does not get EVERYTHING but it get's enough for me to feel better about my kitchen floor after dinner time!  It is perfect for the "in between vacuuming" days!  R even enjoys using it some times! 

NYC's BB Creme--This was a random buy one day when I was looking for something light to cover my face as the summer months are approaching.  All I needed was some tint and corrector for my face, to go under my blush.  This was just about the cheapest one at Target, but I seriously LOVE it.  Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it isn't going to do the trick!  I've been using it the last couple of weeks and the Medium shade is perfect for my skin.  I plan on using it throughout the summer as my "foundation"...it does it job, just still feels very light, which was exactly what I was going for!

Maryilyn's Teasing Brush--I was on the mission for a good teasing BRUSH, instead of a comb.  I had been using got2b's POWDER'ful teasing powder, and while it was doing it's job it was simply taking too long in the mornings.  That's when I decided to try out a brush and this what I ended up with.  I got this one at Ulta and it's now my bestie.  She goes with me in my purse to school and every where in between! ;)  I like the fact that I don't need the powder when I'm it, which is exactly why I've ditched the powder and have stuck with the brush.   

I'd love to hear what you're loving this month!!  Beauty products, cleaning supplies, hair care--let me hear it! =)

Happy Thursday my friends!  

(And if anyone is interesting in doing a link up of monthly favorites in the future, just shoot me and e mail at alongfortheryde{at}yahoo{dot}com I'd love to hear from you!)

    

product love {march}

Today you're in for a treat!  I asked one of my fellow bloggers and {fore most} friend, to share some of her product love with you for the month of March!  This girl is sassy, knows what she wants and goes after it--and I LOVE that about her!  I'm constantly asking her for eating, exercising and fashion advice!  She is a sports marketing goo-roo and she is constantly teaching me new things in that department as well!  Be sure and check her out over at Charmed Bliss for all sorts of things!    Sticking with the same things constantly can get boring and bland.  So I want to introduce you to 5 things that I have loved trying this past month and hope you want to try them too!  

Let's get to talking!  

1. Kenny Murphy Young Again Masque - amazing!  If you have split ends out there or damaged hair, especially if you are in public a lot, taking pictures, and I see it often in the vlog's people do - this product is for you!  You use it once a week (twice if needed - I do it twice), and you just use it in the shower just like hair shampoo.  I learned something about hair though, it is just like your face.  So you know how when you get a facial, they heat up your pores so they will open up and then you put cold on it to close them up?  Well your hair does the same thing.  So you always want to put hot water on your hair to wash it and then when you a rinsing your conditioner, use lukewarm to cooler water to rinse it out so your pores will capture the nutrients in the conditioner.  Interesting? I thought so.  So when you put this on your hair, leave it in 5-10 minutes and rinse with cooler water and when you dry your hair, you will feel solo much happier with it!  

**if your hair is super damaged like mine, leave it in, get out of the shower and watch a tv show and rinse in the sink.  Your hair will never be the same :)

2. Rubbermaid divided containers - I am the loser that has been using separate food containers and has just become apart of the twenty-first century.  If you don't use these - stop what you are doing and use them!  They are great for prepping meals.  And don't forget:

Use them to help you eat better!  

3. Burt's Bees - I know I am a little behind on this too… however, it is my pet peeve when girls don't have a little color to their face, etc… so keep a couple of these with you and put it on before you walk into the store, and into a meeting!  They smell great, make your lips colorful and moist, and best of all they are compact enough to fit anywhere you want them too, a pocket, your bra, a purse or a clutch.  Seriously, go stock up (My favorite colors are Rhubarb and Champagne-for the natural look)!

4. Zuke's Z-Bones - I have an obsession with these, and I'm not even the one who eats them.  I grab mine from Whole Foods and they are little more expensive then the average bone, especially since they are gone in one sitting.  However, they are great for your dog's health and they have the perfect nutrients and pliability to strengthen the teeth of your dog.  Baylor (my pup) loves the green ones which are Clean Apple Crisp!  They are individually wrapped so you can take them with you wherever you go and pull it out when needed!  A little pricey, but dog's everywhere love them!

5.  Lastly, the Bubba - this was an impulse buy at Target.  Don't you hate that!  I feel like everything at Target is an impulse buy.  This tumbler comes with a silicone straw and is huge!  I love this because it holds a ton of water and is insulate and will keep it nice a cold.  I drink so much and so fast that I hate when I fill a smaller tumbler up, and it's empty by the time I get back to my desk.  This one is nice because it has a sturdy handle and will last me a little bit!  Nothing better then hydration!  Pick one up next time you are at the god-forsake Target!  You won't regret it!

Hope you enjoyed my fun finds!  

I grew up in Arkansas and now work in sports in South Carolina and blogs about everything from chick flicks to football games. I would say that I am a fun, spirited, vivacious woman who is constantly chasing my dreams and pushing the limits on life.  I try to always keep you up to date on what you need to know about sports and still being girly about it! Pop over to my blog at CharmedBliss.Blogspot.com and learn a little about sports and laugh at my funny stories about life - because I have some funny ones!  

product love... {february}

I get the random urge to do share some Produce Love every once and a while...so here we are!  :P  I always love reading about other people's recent discoveries, so I hope you do the same! 

1. I've had this for a while now...it's a hand-held silicon pad used to help wash your face.  I got it before I got my Clarisonic, hoping it would just do a better job at washing my face compared to my fingers, and I was right!  Since then I got a Clarisonic, and as much as I like using it and the way it makes my face feel, it was as if it was doing TOO much work on my face and I started to break out like CRAZY.  I went back to using this pad every day instead, and the Clarisonic once a week or so and my face has seemed to to great with the routin.  I love being able to see the pad getting the makeup off my face...I usually keep washing my face until I can no longer see any makeup coming off on the pad.  You can find them HERE!

2. I always tease my hair in the mornings, but since my hair is SO long and SO weighted down, recently I decided I needed to try to find something to help my roots out a little bit.  I was also interested in trying the NAKED Herbal Essences line...so that's how I landed on this little guy!  So far so good...and I love that they call it a "souffle" instead a mousse!  I can literally feel it thickening my roots as I am rubbing it in and I love the way it smells.  If you're looking for a good drug store mousse to add some volume to your roots, this one is a thumbs up!  Found HERE or any local drug store.  

3.  This last one is a TJ Maxx find.  I have to continually change up my face wash (as well as my shampoo and conditioner) so that my face and hair don't get used to the product and start failing at their "job".  I liked the idea of this being a mousse which has worked GREAT with my pore cleansing pad from above!  It smells good, has kept my face clear and I'm really digging the foam!  I will say I won't pay the normal price tag for the product, but I paid less for it than I would a normal drug store face wash so SCORE!  Found HERE or maybe at your local TJ Maxx (and did you know you can shop TJ online now?!)

Product Love... {March}

It's been a while since I have done some "Product Love" but I always love doing it...so here some of my favorites from the month of March!  I know I am always looking for new stuff to try, and I figure my readers are too!

1. {NIVEA'S Sun-Kissed Beautiful Legs} 

I fell in love with NIVEA products a while back and when wanted some sun on my legs without the cost of a spray tan and time and dangerous-ness of a tanning bed...I settled for this stuff!  I have really enjoyed it and it's great to use for 3-4 prior to upcoming events (like Easter!)...I just use it on my legs, arms and neck and it definitely gets the job done before those Summer months!  It's about $10 at Walgreens, and I haven't been able to find it at Kroger or WM...

2. {Maybelline's DREAM SMOOTH mousse} 

 I put my make up on in my car in the parking lot at school on days I get up late.  One day I realized I had left my foundation sitting on my bathroom counter from the day before...so I ran in Walgreens to grab some more instead of having to go all the way back home.  This is what I went with...and I am so thankful I left my other foundation at home that day because I seriously LOVE this stuff!  It is creamy and goes on sooo smooth, yet it dries like a powder!  I still use a translucent powder over it, but I don't plan on changing foundations any time soon...it is a great drug store foundation, especially for a $9 price tag!

3. {benefit's Watt's Up!} 

I am all about a good highlighter...I found this at Sephora and was anxious to try it.  It's a cream stick, but dries like powder as well.  I don't use it every day, but it definitely adds a special touch to your check bones and nose--where the sun would hit you.  I think it will look even more fabulous in the summer.  I don't even use the stick to apply it, but just my finger.  Long lasting finish and the perfect color/shade of shimmer!  $30 at Ulta, Sephora or benefit.

4. {CO Bigelow's "My Favorite Night Balm"} 

I love all CO Bigelow products from B&BW, but this is by far the best!  It is actually on sale for $5 right now (regularly $7.50).  I have to have it on every night when I go to bed, and I usually wake up with it still on my lips.  My lips are constantly peeling and are very dry, but not with this stuff!  Highly recommend it, and I'm about to stock up since it's on sale!

You can see all my previous Produce Love posts HERE.

What are some of your favorite new products this Spring?!  I'd love for you to share!

July Product Love

I don't have a lot this month...but did want to touch on some new & old things & products that I love & continue to love!  I would love to hear from my readers on things that y'all are loving right now!  Feel free to do a similar post & leave your blog in the comments below!  I'd love to try some new things if you have an suggestions for everyday life!  =)

1. PaperMate's Eagle ball-point pen

I have been using these in class to take notes, for well over a year now & will NOT take notes in anything else!  I am not one to usually like "cheap" pens, but I hate to waste good pens for taking notes for CLASS--& you can get this entire package for $1!  Not even kidding!  What I like most about these pens is how dark and fat they write...no other cheap pen really compares for me!  My last two from my first package ran out during summer school & I was SO sad!--I finally got some more at Target earlier this week for the upcoming school year!

2. Rimmel's Base & Top Coat PRO

I bought this a while back--& I chose Rimmel because of the flat brush & the price.  I have been MORE than satisfied with the product...and a top coat definitely makes a difference on how long your polish stays on!  It's like a gell-y coat on top that kinda dries like shellac which I love.

3.  Downey's UNstopables 

My mom bought these a while back when she was making her own laundry detergent & while we were at the beach, she used it wash to wash some of our clothes & OMG--it made our clothes smell SOOO good, I knew I had to get some when I got home!!  So I got some & I have been sniffin' our clothes & sheets every since!  It makes laundry just a liiiiiittle bit more enjoyable!  ;)

4. Secret's Invisible Solid Cucumber Aloe DO

I have used Secret DO for as long as I can remember, & one day when I needed new DO, I saw some Dove on sale--like 3 for the price of one, so I was like why not?--Well...after a week or so, I just knew it wasn't doing the job...but I had three whole things left to use!  So I stuck it out as long as I could...because I didn't want to be wasteful!  But I'm happy to announce I am back to my good'ole Secret!  =)  I used to use Pear, but didn't see it any more, but I love this cucumber just as much!  It stays on all day & I can even smell it throughout the day, which means...IT'S WORKING!  ;)  If you're looking for a new DO, this one just might be for you!  ;)  Moral of the story--stick with what you know & don't try & fix something that isn't broken!

June Product Love

1.  Neutrogena All-in-One Acne Control Face wash

Right after I posted my April Product Love Post, I was breaking out so much & it was totally out of control, so I knew I needed to find something a little bit stronger for the time being...especially for summer time.  I hate going & having to guess at which face washes "look good" and then having to go home & try them for a week or two to see if they actually work.  I am happy to report that this was my first try & so far so good!  I use it twice a day, which is something I don't normally do, but I wanted it to WORK gosh darn it!  It smells fab & has a gentle scrub to it with I like...& if you leave it on there a good while it kinda starts to tinkle-which I kinda like!

2.  elf lip gloss from Target

I just realized my picture applicator isn't the one I actually have, but oh well...this stuff is only ONE DOLLAR & I actually like it!  All of their stuff is cheap, & I will say, it's not all the best, but I do like their lipgloss for the one dollar price tag.  It has a bit of minty flavor to it & shoot you can stock up in all the colors for just a dollar a piece!  I have also been putting it on underneath my Skinnygirl stuff seen below. 

3.  Whole Wheat, Ritz Crackers

I know this is random, but I can't stop eating these!  They are just YUM!!  R is even eating them sometimes with me, & calls them "circle crackers, not square ones".  They are just YUMMY--that's all I have to say!  Great with cheese cubes too!

4. Country Chic Fragrance Mist from Bath & Body Works

This is the perfect little spray for summer time, when you don't want to use your regular perfume.  It's just enough country, with just enough sweet!  ;)

5.  Skinnygirl's plumping lip gloss from WM

I've had this a while & really like the way it looks on my lips--I actually have it in Peach, not Nude Sparkle.  It does literally make your lips tinkle & I just like to think it's making my lips look full & pooch out!  :P  It's the perfect combo to go with my elf lip gloss from above, but is also great by itself!  It stays on a good while, especially for a WM gloss.  I will say the applicator is plastic & not my favorite, but I've gotten over that!  :P

6. Target Debit Card

What I'm MOST excited to share with you guys today!  =)  Note, that this is a DEBIT card, not a CREDIT card {dad...;)}.  It's a card, just for Target, that links straight to your bank account, just as your  regular debit card does...but here's what so GREAT about it...every time you use it, you get 5% off.  I know that may not sound like much, but it's SOMETHING.  I find myself wishing I could use my Target debit card every where now, so I can get 5% off!  Ha!  It has made me start to get things at Target now that I would normally just get on my weekly Wal Mart room...so I guess that's a good thing for them, & myself!  Ha!  & of course...no trip to Target is complete without buying things you didn't go there for--it just seems to have that power & control!  It's very simple to apply, just take a blank check with you next you go to Target & they will fix you up!  There really isn't any reason you shouldn't have one of your own!  ;)

Something a little different this month...

I want you to share with me in the comments what are some of your favorite things right now?  What are somethings that you love, that I should try?!  I would love to hear about things I haven't discovered yet & give them a try for myself!

May Product Love

1. Rio Rumberry Body Lotion from Bath & Body Works

I had a coupon at B&BW for a free signature collection item when you spent a certain amount & found this while smelling new scents.  This is perfect for the summer time & smells like tanning lotion if you ask me!  I'm almost out & am definitely going to go back & get some more!  Perfect to keep in your pool back to keep your skin moist after being in the chlorine all day & having dry skin.  

2. Herbal Essence Heat Protection spray

I saw this in a magazine & have always used Biosilk to help protect my hair from all the heat, but I was almost out & decided to give this a try.  I have really enjoyed it so far & it seriously smells SO good!  I bought it to protect my hair from my chi, but now that I think about it, it probably doesn't hurt to protect my hair from the hairdryer either.  You just spray a bit on while your hair is still damp & you're good to go!

3. Tone Mango Splash body wash

I try & chance up my body wash every once & a while just for fun & my latest discovery has been this!  It smells super fab...almost like the rum berry...just nice & summery!  Gets me excited about this time of year!

4.  Johnson's Honey Apple Baby Wash

Just because I'm a Mama too, I had to throw this in there!  :P  I've been blessed where I haven't had to buy R any body wash until just recently & have been wanting to try this stuff out because it just SOUNDED like it smelled good!  & it does...he loves it as well & it just makes me want to snuggle him even more after he gets out of the bath!  Sometimes I even use it on myself!  ;)

5.  International Delight's Iced Coffee

& because no product review is complete without a lil foody-food or drink!  :P  I have recently switched to iced drinks at Starbucks...still my normal drink just over ice & I LOVE it!  I have seen these at WM recently but never even thought about trying it for myself until the other day!  & oh boy!  It did NOT disappoint!  :P  I tried the Mocha & have loved it...it might be just as good as a 5 dollar cup from Starbucks for a fraction of the cost!  A great coffee drink for the summer for sure!

6. Burt's Bees Mango Butter Lip Balm

I've always loved Burt's Bees lip balm & used to be obsessed with it, but some how grew out of that.  I saw this recently in the check out & decided to try it.  It was as smooth as I remembered & super yummy with the mango scent!  Again, it's great for the long summer days spent out at the pool to keep those lips nice & hydrated!  ;)

April LOVE--

I used to a "monthly" product love back in the day...& I kinda miss it!  So I thought I would start it back up, even though I may not do it every month!  Feel free to do a "PRODUCT LOVE"  post on your blog & leave me a message in the comments letting me know you did a post as well, so I can see what I'm missing out on & need to try!  ;)

{OPI gelcolor Cajun Shrimp}

My friend Morgan just recently bought a UV light to do gel nails at her house...& OMG!  I will never pay for a manicure again!  I have on cajun shrimp right now...& have had it on for a good week, and no chips or anything just yet!  Love it--& can't wait to try out some different colors!

{Insulated CamelBack water bottle}

I've mentioned it before...but this doesn't leave my side.  It's like an adult zippy cup, & I love that it doesn't sweat!  This is how I make sure I am getting the needed amount of water every day!

{Neutrogena naturals fresh cleansing & makeup remover}

I tried this out a while back, thinking about the chemicals I was putting on my face, & was drawn in by the word "naturals".  I am also all about using a face wash that doubles as a makeup remover as well.  I was more than happy with this face wash after a couple of weeks, it smells FAB, and gets all of my waterproof mascara off-score! 

{Neutrogena naturals multi-vitamin nourishing moisturizer}

I had never used a moisturizer before putting on my make-up & I know I should...so when I bought the face wash from above, I decided to try this out as well.  I wish it had SPF in it, but it doesn't. You only need a little bitty bit, but I've enjoyed using it, it also make me feel good knowing I'm giving my skin some multi-vitamins as well!

So...what are YOU loving right now?!

You can visit my past product loves HERE!

August loves...

Not too many SUPER favs this past month....but here are a few!

{Blue Bell's Southern Blackberry Cobbler}

Brother Bobby introduced this to me last summer & man he got me hooked!  It's seasonal so you can't have it all the time, which makes it even better, & make me enjoy it even more!  It has small chunks of cobbler crust in it which...oh man!  Just makes it de-LISH!  If it's no longer out...wait till next summer & getcha some!  I will be worth the wait--I PROMISE!  =)

{Papermate's Flair pens}

I have always loved these & like to be super duper color cordinated when it comes to my planner, every kind of even has a certain color & ONLY that color!  It helps me be able to see things!  =)  But these are great because they write like a sharpie, but don't bleed thru!  

What have been some of your favorite things this past month!?

July Product Love-

I cannot even believe that July is already over!  This summer has FLOOOWN by!  Part of me wants to complain, but part of me doesn't, because the sooner summer is over, the sooner I start school again & the closer I am to graduating!  WAH-HOO!

Here are a few of my favorite things this past month!

{Kashi GO LEAN Crunch!}

My roommate freshmen year ate this stuff & I always wondered how she actually enjoyed it.  I thought because it was "healthy" that it would be gross in all honesty.  After reading a few things last week about high fructose corn syrup, & raising Ryder & wanting him to be not only a healthy kid, but also grow up to be a healthy adult, I decided to give it a try.  OH.MY.WORD...I LOOOOVED it!  It was seriously like granola, & was still sweet & I love the crunchiness of it!  Yes, it is as much as a large box of sugary cereal, but knowing it's not full of bad things makes it worth it!  

{Mollie the Monkey Scentsy Buddy}

Preface:  My high school girlfriends & I made build a bears (or monkeys) when we graduated & I still sleep with that monkey today.  It is time for a new one, so I bought a Scentsy Buddy that is a monkey!  YAY!  It smells so good, & I can change up the scent any time I want!  Ryder tries to steal it, even though he has his own lion, he still wants Mama's monkey!  =)

{Puddle Jumpers}

This has been my life saver this summer at the pool!  It is the best 16 dollars I have ever spent!  I love it because it not only has the float-ies on the arms, but on the front as well, so Ryder's whole body stays afloat, not just his arms, with his head sinking down in the middle!  I have confidence when he is wearing this & so does he...All the lifeguards at the pool actually prefer kids his age to wear this!

 {OPI French Quarter For Your Thoughts}

I haven't tried this yet, but I want to!  I love the grey color...it's just so perfect!  Grey, but not too dark & not too light!  I'm ready for some fall weather, so I can bust out my fall nail polish colors!

What are some of your favorite products this month!?

June Product Love!

I'm a few days late...but just a few favorites month--nothing special!  I hope you enjoy & share you own favorites of the month on your blog, leave a comment so I can come check it out!  

{Bikini Zone Anti-Bumps Shave Gel}

It's that time of year!!  This was the first season I had ever tried this stuff before, & so far am very satisfied!  It still seems like a never ending process, but this stuff does what it says!  I don't know what makes it so much better than shaving cream...but it is!  Go getcha some if you know what I mean!  =)

{Reebok ZigZags}

I got this a couple of months and Reeboks just might be my new favorite tennis shoe!  My last pair I had a pair of Shox (my first EVER pair) & I did NOT like them!  They were so stiff & just HARD!  These....ARE NOT!  They are so light & so bendable!  I wear them to class almost EVERY day because I would rather walk all the way across campus in something comfy as apposed to some flats!  I will definitely be buying another pair of these once mine wear out!  I actually tried them on a Hibbett once & didn't buy them...then saw them at TJ Maxx a few weeks later for $30 cheaper & snatched them up & am oh so glad I did!  

{My UCA Tervis Tumbler}

This thing is always with me & always full of ice water!  I have a lot of different ones, but this is my current favorite!  I don't think you can EVER have too many tervis tumblers in your cabinets!  I love that they don't sweat & keep cold drinks cold & hot drinks hot!

May Product Love

I skipped April Product Love & was kinda sad, but I just didn't have anything I was in love with at the time!  But I'm back for May!  I can't believe it is already June!  Wow!  I don't have too many loves...but I hope you enjoy!

{Hawaiian Tropic Lime Colada after sun lotion}

I used this stuff in High School & hadn't used it for a while, because I hadn't been able to find it.  I finally saw it again the other day at the WM I usually don't go to. I was so happy!  It's really thick & stays on my skin for a long time...I do believe that it helps keep my tan longer & the smell of it is so yummy!  Sometimes I put it on after I get in from the sun, & then again later after I shower.  

{EOS lip balm}

I got this stuff for my mom for her stocking last Christmas.  She always likes new/different lip balm & this was definitely different!  Since then she has bought almost every flavor!  Ha!  She bought me my first one a few weeks ago...but now I'm in love with the Honeysuckle one!  It's so easy & fun & smooth to put on...I've only seen it at the check out lanes at WM!  Go getcha' some!  :P  Like 3 bucks...

{Pinterest}

I had heard of Pinterest a few times out in the blog world, but didn't bother messing with it.  But one day I up & decided to ask for an invite & a few days following I got "accepted" & got to "pinning" away!  I have so many different file folders organized on my computer whether is home decor, home ideas for the future or crafts or things I want to make.  Now  Pinterest can organize & keep all that FOR ME!  It is TOTALLY up my ally & I love looking at other things other people have found!  You can click on the link above to request an invite!  =)  You can visit Jenna's Journey where she blogged today on how to use Pinterest!

{Scentsy's July Warmer of the Month!}

Look how fun this is!  I can't even believe how cute it is!  It was just announced yesterday & you can pre-order now but they won't be available until July 1st!  I will definitely be getting one of these, especially because it's my birthday month!  :P
