What I have been loving lately:   1) Google Mail App  So grateful to my son Harrison for turning me onto this app! I had been complaining about my current overload of junk emails, and he told me he used Google Mail and had folders. I downloaded it, and was skeptical at first. I didn’t feel comfortable that I could find everything, but kept playing around with it, and now my life has been changed! Checking email is so simple and quick now! I did “over clean” my inbox, but I’ll be able to retrieve items if I really need them. Harrison always seems to have life changing “hacks” for me! Thanks, bud! 2) Merit Beauty Double Cleanse Face Wash  I stumbled upon this as well as a serum and moisturizer. I LOVE the face wash, like the serum, and feel meh about the moisturizer. The face wash and serum give me a glow. Goodness knows, I could use a good glow. Ha! 3)   BlinkBetter Better Lids Ointment  This stuff is wonderful! I think from Lash Serums or harsh eye make up remov...

Faves Lately

  It’s been awhile since I’ve done Faves, but these are all VERY worthy! 1) Old Navy T-shirts  I have lived in these shirts all summer and I’m not even a t-shirt girl! They are $10 each! 2) Gola Classics Women’s Stadium Sneakers   I purchased these from Anthropologie in Edinburgh, Scotland. Wore them all over Scotland and Norway. Love them! 3) Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Stick   I have really loved these lately. They glide on easily and stay on. 4) Revitalash Volumizing Hair Collection  This one was a surprise to me. Revitalash is for lashes, or so I thought. Someone I follow on IG recommended this collection, so I thought I’d try it. Kinda pricey (but since my ON t-shirts only cost $10…), but man, it actually changes the  texture of my hair. It does make it feel thicker. I am really loving this stuff. Tomorrow I’m celebrating my grandson’s first birthday. Love you Andyroo!!

  It’s been a long time since I’ve posted Faves, so I thought I’d post some things I’m liking lately. 1) The Four Seasons  I recently watched this on my flight home from Cabo. The episodes are short, and I finished when I got home, but I LOVED this! Loved it! 2) Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Chouchette  I became a fan of this blush stick a couple of years ago, when my daughter in law told me about it. There are several colors I like, but lately my favorite is Chouchette. It was recommended to me in NYC and I love it! It is kind of $$$ but lasts forever because a little goes a long way. 3) SOJOS Retro Oversized Square Polarized Sunglasses  In contrast to my expensive blush stick, these babies cost about $15. I always wear polarized, and these are just fun! I like that they are lighter and I can see out of them.  4) Amy Bradley Is Missing  Last night my husband hosted poker at our house, so I holed up in the bedroom and watched this 3-part series...

  Friday Faves of the week: 1) Aren’t We Lucky by Sarah Forbes Stewart  This book was a bit of a slow burn, no huge twist, but the ending does leave you thinking.  2) Alf the Label  This is an Australian company and I’m kind of obsessed. When the owner started it she wanted a stylish bag to hang from the pram. I bought the bigger pouch and a small one for sunglasses and the super cool carabiner. I LOVE it! I can add more bags if I want. Love putting my purse on my wrist, and the other night at dinner I hooked it around the arm of my chair. She also sent an email to her customers saying that Mother’s Day can be difficult for some people, so reply to the email and she’d take you off the mailing list until after Mother’s Day. I thought that was pretty cool. They have a lot of other bags too, but I fell in love with these. 3) Fit Flop GEN-FF Leather Back Strap Toe Post Sandals  So cute and comfortable. I don’t feel like I’m being a slob when I wear them. 4) Oval Rin...

Friday Faves Cabo Edition

Today I’m in Cabo, traveling with my little Andy for the first time. Doing my Faves while he naps.   1) The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia  I’m not even sure how I found this book, and it seems to be the first one she’s written, but it was SO good! I listened to it and there was a full cast of narrators so it was like a performance. Loved the ending! Thought I had it figured out but I was wrong. 2) happyhappyhouseplant on IG  This is my current favorite account on IG. Her name is Mandi Gubler and she is awesome! I literally do not have one live plant in my house, but I’m obsessed with her and almost feel like I could try one! What I like best about her is that her IG stories aren’t long, and she’s very informative and encouraging. Some people I follow go on and on and tell you every minute of their day. I don’t take the time to listen to those people anymore. Highly recommend @happyhappyhouseplant on IG! 3) Apple Watchband from Quince  I love this silver watchband. I...

  I have been sick all week, but do have some Faves nonetheless! 1) Paradise  I finally drank the Paradise Kool-Aid. Thank you Corinne for being the final nudge! We really enjoyed this series. 2) Tory Burch Sandals  I love these sandals! They are so fun!  3) Plush Lined Eyeglasses Holder  I feel so extra but I love this thing! I saw someone post it on IG that they keep this on their nightstand so I looked it up, it’s super cheap and now I keep it on my nightstand. I was forever setting my glasses down on the lens and scratching them but the little plush lining keeps them safe. Sounds silly maybe, but I love it! 4) Sofia + Sam Lapdesk  Finally, the perfect size Lapdesk! And it’s very smooth. I’m a big fan! Short and sweet today. Have a good weekend!

  Finally home and settled from our Australia/New Zealand adventure. My Faves this week were awesome for me while traveling! 1) Power Plug Adapter  We have used many different plug adapters while traveling, but these were the best we have used! With one adapter we were able to charge everything and I could even curl my hair, ha, ha! Highly recommend! These were compatible in Australia/New Zealand, so I’m hopeful to find some for our next travel adventure, 2) Rothy’s Sneakers  I may have posted these before, but I love love love them when traveling. I own two pair and took them both with me.  3) One Step Behind by Lauren North  I listened to this book (and two others) while on this trip. I had never listened to a book by this author, and I really enjoyed the book. Unique plot for sure. 4) Coach Sling Bag  This might be my favorite of all Faves! I purchased this specifically for my trip to wear on tours/excursions, and I loved it! It has two zippered compartm...
