Anniston is 1!

Oh.My.Gosh.

My sweet girl is one! 

Anniston turned one on September 13th {birthday post to come later}. We had her party on Saturday, the 15th {yes, I'm a little late w/ the post}

Here are a few pictures from the party ...

Happy Birthday, Anniston!

September Seasonal Table

If you know me, you know I love everything that is seasonal.

So, when I found this adorable table I thought it would be a fantastic place to decorate with each season.

Here's my September seasonal table  ...

I'll probably add a few more things, but I think it's pretty cute. 

And speaking of cute ...

How grown-up is my baby girl?! I can't believe she will be one soon.

I spent this past week participating in our pre-planning activities. I organized, laminated, and labeled, labeled, LABELED everything! Here are a few shots of my fabulous first grade classroom. It's still a work in progress, so please don't judge :)

My desk

Whew! That's a lot of little chairs!

Well, I better get busy. The kiddos come tomorrow!

Favorite Beauty Buys

Here's a list of some of my favorite makeup, hair, & beauty products...

                             

Too Faced Natural Eye palette.

Great for a shimmery, natural look.

bareMinerals.

I've used this for about 8 years now & I haven't found anything I like better.

 

Maybelline Falsies mascara.
I just can't justify paying $20+ for mascara. I like the cheap stuff, I guess.

And now, to wash all the makeup off ...


Mary Kay Timewise set
I think I've blogged about this before.
ohmyword
LOVE! That's all I can say.

Mary Kay Microdermabrasion.
I am anxiously awaiting this arrival.
Now, I have not tried this on my face yet, {just a little spot on my elbow} but I've found that Mary Kay products do not disappoint.



Bless my heart, I'm just so stinkin' pale.
Who wants that?!
Not me! That's why I use this.
It doesn't smell. It doesn't streak. It isn't heavy.

                

For my thick, curly, almost always frizzy hair I use DermOrganic argan oil. However, I've been told by many that the Moroccan Oil is even better!

That's what beauty products I can't live without. How about you?!

What I'm LOViNG

Here are a few things I've been loving & obsessing over lately ...

Origami Owl

I made a necklace last week & I love it! You can customize everything.

{sorta like Pandora, but much cuter in my opinion}

Chevron. Print.

I'm obsessed with chevron print. I ordered this diaper bag for baby girl. I can't wait until it arrives!

Her hair. 

I love everything about it. The waves, the color, everything! I'd like to start doing my hair somewhat like this everyday. I'm just kind of over straight hair. My hair is curly, so why not embrace it, amIright?!

And lastly, has anyone heard the song by 2 Chainz? I think it's called "Kesha". 

It is so STUPID that it's funny & for that reason I'm obsessed with it. I laugh every time it comes on. 

{and I also sing/rap along with them}

: )

Happy 4th of July!
