Hi! Its been a while! I'm sorry! I still love you though.
I love sharing products/things that I'm currently obsessing over, so I may or may not have TWELVE things on my favorites list right now! I know, I know..but maybe after reading this post, you'll get one of these products too, and we can be happily obsessed together! Wee! Okay, lets get started!
1) Burts Bees Natural Throat Drops. They are the Honey & Pomegranate kind. I have to say, I have ALWAYS been a devoted Halls user. I really like the menthol in Halls -- but sometimes you just need something to coat your sore throat and something that isn't SO harsh! Thats why I use these. Love them! Plus, you'll feel uber cool because these are fairly new products so you dont really see a ton of people using them. "Stand out, Louise!" (paraphrasing) Even if its just cough drops! Stand out, baby!
2) You're gonna love me for this one..seriously.. I am about to open your eyes to the BEST thing that will ever happen to your tastebuds..and its called Steves Sunday Morning flavored ice cream. It is buttered maple syrup ice cream with crispy waffle pieces inside. YUP. SO. GOOD. I can't even talk about it any more right now, because I'm drooling at work. Moovin' on!
3) Coffee. Coffee! Coffee? Coffee. Coffee is constant an obsession of mine..so, currently my favorite is Tully's French Roast coffee. Since I work in an office with a Keurig, I just order in bulk on Amazon. This way I end up saving myself a good chunk of change, rather than buying a coffee every morning/afternoon! I love DARK roasts, and if you do too, try this one out! I think you'll love it. :)
Hi. Here's me with my new BFF, Zana the Mac.
4) My next favorite, which is my number one favorite and probably will be for a long long time is my new Macbook Pro Retina!!!! I love it so much. It was a big 25 yr old B-Day present from my mom and I am SO grateful. This makes it easier for me to blog from home rather than my office, AND I can edit pics/videos/music so much more now! I've had it for less than a week, but clearly I'm obsessed. Her name is Zana, which was taken from the spanish word for apple; Manzana..hehe. Anyway, here's the link with more of the techy info on this product that I love SO much :) https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/features-retina/
5) Number 5 is my favorite Matte nail polish at the moment. I remember seeing a post of a matte midnight blue polish on Pinterest and I became obsessed with it. So finally I found one at my local drug store, and just plopped it right in my cart. It's Revlon's Matte Blue Duo in Pinstripe. I have to say, it chips VERY easily. Which is rather disappointing, but, its so easy to re-apply and cover up! I think the reason it chips so easily is because you can't really put on a top coat because it takes away the matte finish.. where normally when you apply the top coat it locks your polish in place for a bit longer.. Either way, its worth a try! I love the color a lot. Pretty chic if I do say so myself ;)
6) Number 6! These are my current nails. I'm loving blush pinks/nudes lately, and this is PERFECT. Its more mauve than blush pink..It seems to have more of a blue-ish undertone. The color is "Rue," from Zoya. I'm a huge fan of Zoya products! Their polish is so creamy and easy to apply! I really feel like I am getting every bang for my buck when using their nailpolish!
7) Nivea hand cream! I know, its spring so we don't have to worry as much about dry and cracked hands..but take it from me -- this is a product that you will eventually become addicted to and use it all year round. I also am a fan of Vaseline's hand lotion, but right now Nivea lotion is my vice. I wash my hands often and I think this is the perfect solution! Not too fragrant, but definitely smells clean and feminine. Also it doesn't leave your hands feeling super oily.. thank god! Don't you hate that? When you put on lotion and then you touch your touchscreen phone and it leaves smudges all over? Yep, that's why you should get this lotion. Think of all the screen smudging your saving yourself from!
8) Not the greatest presentation, I know! Sorry! But I'm lovin' this shade of lipstick! Its soft and springy, although I think it would be best used in the summertime when you have a bit more of a tan. Either way, its Mabelline Lipstick in Twinkle #705. This particular lipstick is a little bit grainy, but that's because of the shimmer! Super blush pink and shimmery! Can't go wrong in the summer time! I do recommend putting on a gloss of some sort to counter act any dryness.
9) Okay, so I know this is a style/beauty blog, but I honestly think this is worth sharing! I received this Wolfgang Puck Cast Iron Dutch Oven from my Grandmother for Christmas and I LOVE it. It inspires me to cook! And it inspires my boyfriend to cook too! ;) Great product, huge, easy for bolegnese and chili. I only found a link for it on Overstock and it doesn't look exactly the same, but you get the picture. :) http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Wolfgang-Puck-5-quart-Enameled-Cast-Iron-Dutch-Oven/3114155/product.html
10) So this is a rather personal item, but I wanted to share anyway. I bought this necklace recently off of Etsy, and I am so thrilled! It is extremely delicate and light weight..sometimes I forget that I'm wearing it! If you can see, I have the initials K and F engraved on a separate gold plate..I ordered from this link here, and you can personalize it with whatever letters you like! The service was so fast and I really enjoyed the process. I definitely recommend ordering it from PTinspires! She even boxes it up and wraps it in a bow for you! Adorable. I think this is a very special and thoughtful gift, either for yourself, for a significant other, family member, or friend! Go for it!
11) Number 11 is certainly important! Don't miss this, okay? Eye liner is a big thing for me and it should be for you too! Some eyeliner can be terrible for your eyes and can scratch you or easily give you infections; but not this kind! I'm telling you, buy Urban Decay's 24/7 Velvet glide on eye pencil. They come in a gorgeous variety of colors, but I am currently using Black Velvet! Makes me want to break out into song! Its so creamy and lovely to apply.. You wont feel like you're bothering your eyes at all when applying, promise! AND, its so easy to just throw this into your purse if you want to refresh your look later in the evening! I totally stand by this eyeliner. :)
12) La Finale! Woo hoo! So here's my final favorite: My Warby Parker glasses! I snuck this pic while at work, so I know I don't look too enthused, but I really am. I am in love with my glasses. I chose the frame called 'Nash,' and I am so so happy I can't begin to even describe it. Well, okay, maybe I can. So these glasses are in the tortoise shell version and they are large frames. I really needed a new pair of glasses as I knew my eyesight has been diminishing, but I didn't have good eye coverage..so I found Warby Parker! They were my saving grace. That how I can describe it.. I paid maybe $75 for an eye doctors appointment where they gave me my prescription, and then it was $90 for my frames INCLUDING lenses! Insane! For me, thats unheard of.. cant beat that price. The entire process took 1 week. I went in, got my prescription, ordered my glasses and had them delivered to me in seven whole days. Yep! Perfection. AND get this! You're giving back! For every pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need. My heart exploded when I heard that. I sincerely urge you to get your next pair of glasses (or sunglasses!!!) at Warby Parker. You'll be so glad you did.
Well, that's all folks! Aren't you so glad you stuck with me? I know it was a lot to take in, but remember this post will always be here and you can refer back to it whenever you want :)
