I thought I’d share some highlights & favorites from this past week!
1. This weeks top 3 favorite purchases
1.Sally Hansen Nail Color in Commander in Chic. It’s the most beautiful grey with a small hint of purple, for Fall!
2. Drape Front Cardigan..so soft and perfect over leggings when lounging around on these cooler days!
3. This gorgeous choker neck sweater..I mean, slits up the sides, vneck, with a choker strap..it’s perfect.
2. 31 Day Challenge {& pumpkin latte smoothie!}
I don’t know if I’ve ever talked about it on here, but I’m a Tone It Up girl. It sounds dramatic, but they changed my life, the way I think and feel about and treat food, and about working out..they made it realistic and possible, and I’m forever grateful. We’re just finishing up our first week of the 31 day challenge, and I feel SO good, after just a week! One of my favorite recipes from the nutrition plan has been the pumpkin spice latte smoothie & I wanted to share it with you
Pumpkin Spice Latte Smoothie
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 shots espresso
- 2 dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 scoop protein powder (I use their perfect fit protein, LOVE it)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup ice
Blend & Enjoy!
3. Fav Designer Dupe!
I LOVE these booties, but was not willing to spend that kinda cash on them..so when I found this dupe I was thrilled! DESIGNER || DUPE
4. Favorite Fall Lip Colors
These are my two most used and favorite combo for fall, a brown neutral and a berry pop. And you guys, this combination of products lasts me ALL DAY LONG. No joke, through eating, drinking, kissing the heck out of my kids, they act as stains and they don’t move. Half the time I wake up and there is still color there from the day before. They’re a dream, because I haaate reapplying anything other then chapstick.
- MAC lip liner in ‘SPICE’ paired with Revlon Colorstay in ‘NUDE’
- MAC lip liner in ‘IN CONTROL’ topped with Revlon colorstay in ‘MIRACLE MAUVE’
5. Reading Corner
I recently read these books and wanted to share, because they were good! The Edge of Never was actually a re-read for me that I read a few years ago and just loved. It’s about living your life to it’s fullest, stepping out of your comfort zone, not living a monotonous life, it’s inspiring. I mean, we can’t live out on the open road like the couple in the book, buuuut it’s a dream, and would be so fun to do. I love to step out of reality when reading.
The second book was Behind Closed Doors, a psychological thriller. We actually read this as part of our Book Club and everyone loved it! It’s a great one to read with a friend and talk about because there’s so many pieces of the book that they kind of left for you to get creative and imaginative in your own head, which can be interesting. Its a quick, easy read and worth checking out!
