Target and Ulta Haul

Happy April Fools Day Y'all! I am not sure about you guys but I have never been a big fan of April Fools Day. I love to laugh and joke but sometimes I think some pranks/jokes are really mean. If you're playing an April Fools joke on someone just be mindful of any life situations they may be dealing with. Okay, off my soapbox! Now on to the fun stuff! 

So this past weekend I was in desperate need of some new skincare/beauty items so I loaded Sadie in the car and off we went. I mentioned yesterday we went to Target twice. I have a particular loop that I follow when I go to Target and my hubby just doesn't know how to do Target like me so sometimes I need to go back without him! Do any of y'all have a particular way you like to walk through Target? It's really important to hit all of the sections. :) Y'all know what i'm talking about. 

So without further delay check out my latest and greatest purchases from Target


I really needed something that would help take off all my makeup before I wash my face. I have heard really good reviews about Ponds Cold Cream and so far I love it. I use this all over my face and then remove it with a warm washcloth before washing my face. 


I've used this foundation in the past and it just has a really nice feel to it. It also has great coverage and that's something I like.


Y'all, I was in serious need of new razors. I had to stop using Sam's! I finally broke down and bought some - he was so glad that I did! 


Yummy smelling shaving cream to go along with my new razors! It smells like strawberries and oranges. 


Rachel Talbott recently did a blog post about how this Ponds anti-wrinkle cream is an amazing dupe for La Mer. I HAD to try it! I don't wear this during the day only because I feel like it is a little heavy but I use it every night so have loved it so far! 

I also had to run to Ulta to pick up some shampoo and conditioner for my newly color treated hair. I decided to go ahead and purchase what was used on my hair at the salon, which was the Goldwell Dualsenses Color Treated Shampoo and Conditioner.. It smells delicious! 


Last but not least is probably my most favorite purchase during my shopping trip. I ran into Sephora to lust after all of the amazing products they have there and came across this gem while looking at lipsticks.. Most of my makeup had already worn off so I tried this and I instantly fell in love with it. It's the perfect shade for light/medium skin tones and feels like silk, plus it has amazing coverage.I've been wearing this everyday this week by itself, there is really no need to wear foundation over it. I bought the sample size because I wanted to make sure that I loved it as much at home as I did in Sephora ( I tend to love everything in Sephora!!). Once I use all of this size I will most definitely repurchase. 


Whew, that seems like a lot! I love everything that I purchased over the weekend and I can't wait to tell you all about all of the samples I was able to pick up at Sephora! The older I get the more into skincare and health I become! Since I made a major oops buy purchasing skincare products before I tried them in the past I wanted to make sure that I love what i'm buying. As you all know, a lot of these products aren't cheap and I want to like them before I buy. 

I'd love to hear some of your favorites! I'm always looking to try new skincare and beauty products! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Weekend Recap {3/16}

Good Morning Everyone!!!! I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend! Although weekends are way too short my family and I had a wonderful one! Did anyone do anything special over the weekend?

So first things first - I wanted to let you all know that I have had a change of heart...I will be sending back my Rodan and Fields skincare items. I've been using it for over a week and honestly the only difference that I've noticed is really dry skin. Please know that this is my personal opinion; these products may work great for some people but I don't think I am one of them. I do love the micro-derm paste, I may or may not keep that. We shall see. 

Friday night was pretty lazy. Sam picked up take out from a local pizza/sub joint and we just hung out in our jammies. We were debating on whether or not we should go out to dinner but opted to stay in and be lazy. 

Saturday morning consisted of our usual routine. Sadie and Mommy get up super early and go downstairs while everyone is still asleep. I really enjoy that time with just her and I. I realized we were out of milk so I used water to make my Juice Plus smoothie and it was pretty dang good! I always throw in a really big tablespoon of peanut butter!  After breakfast we enjoyed the Mickey Mouse Club, Doc McStuffins and of course Sophia the First! Any of my fellow Mommy's watch the Disney Channel?! We know the songs by heart, especially the Hot Dog song!! Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog! (<-------- yup, I'm getting old!). 


After Sadie's morning nap we decided to go out to lunch. We weren't sure where we wanted to go so we just got in the car and drove, we wound up at Ruby Tuesday's. It was delish! I splurged and got a bacon cheeseburger...so bad but oh so good! Sadie decided she wanted to try a lemon. 

Yup, it's pretty sour kiddo! Cutest face ever!! 

After lunch we went to Kohls, Target and of course we ran by Starbucks. I tried something new, a Flat White. Has anyone tried it? I loved it! It's not something i'll get often because it's made with whole milk and has a ton of calories but as an occasional treat it's pretty good! 
Once we got home it was time for a nap. I love those rainy afternoons where we all lay in bed and cuddle. 
Notice i'm the only one smiling?! I think Sam and Sadie wanted to really take a nap instead of taking family selfies...oh well! :) 

Yesterday, Sam and his Dad went to a local race and that left Sadie and I home to do whatever we wanted! Well, little miss decided to nap for 3 hours so that gave me some Mommy time. I ended up reading blogs and watching vlogs! How about I just discovered Rachel Talbott and OMG I love her. I must have ended up watching like 15 of her videos. I've always loved skin care and makeup and she has some awesome tutorials. If y'all get a few minutes definitely check out her YouTube channel, you can find the link HERE. Her hubby also has a YouTube channel for cooking. You can find that link HERE

Disclaimer....These opinions are my own. I am not being paid in any way. I just happen to really love her and her husbands vlogs! 

Okay fellow Mommy's, I need some advice. When we first moved in with my in-laws Sadie's room wasn't ready for her to sleep in so she ended up sleeping with us. Well it has become a habit. Sam and I ready to break that habit but Sadie is not. Does anyone have any advice on how to break the co-sleeping habit? It's becoming so difficult. I love cuddle time with her but I can't put her down for naps or bedtime without me having to be with her. It's really tough! Thank you in advance for the advice! 

Have a wonderful Monday!
