What I Love Wednesday :: Avon Edition

1. Cheek Color Stick :: This blush stick is so amazing! It gives an instant, dewey color, instead of the chalky look you get from powder!

2. Glimmersticks Waterproof Eyeliner :: Dare I say... that this is my #1, all time favorite Avon find. I use this baby every single day without fail! It goes on SO smooth, without having to push hard, like you do with a normal pencil. Plus, it twists up, so no more searching for that dumb sharpener! If I had to tell you to buy just one product... THIS WOULD BE IT! They come on sale often too! I've seen them as cheap as like $2.99!

3. Ideal Flawless Concealer Stick :: I couldn't of lived without this after I had my babies! It hides those under eye circles amazingly well! It's also perfect for blemishes and uneven skin tone! 

4. Cream to Powder foundation :: This is my go to foundation on days that I want really great coverage! 

5. True Color Eyeshadow :: I love this eyeshadow! I have a really hard time finding a dark eyeshadow that, for one, stays all day, and two, doesn't smudge all over my face... this does the trick! I especially love the plum burgundy color!

Avon's kids line is so much fun! You can find all of the kids bath and body products here, but a few of my favorites are...

1. 2-in-1 Body wash and bubble bath :: I love having a bubble bath that would irritate my son's skin! It's gentle enough to use in every bath! Not just for special occasions!

2. Bath Time Body Paints :: These have to be my sons favorite part about bath time! They have rollers on the top, so you can paint all over their arms and legs and it rinses clean when you're done! SO much fun!

3. Shampoo and Conditioner :: Okay, I'll be honest... them smells are what got me hooked on these to begin with, but I really do love them! They do a great job at getting his hair soft and clean! I'm currently using the coconut... and I'd be lying if I told you I didn't want to use it for myself! They smell SO yummy!

 My mother in law introduced me to this line when I told her that I was concerned about Blake's dry skin and eczema. I have LOVED LOVED LOVED both of these products for not only him, but for me  , my husband, and I've used them on Quinn also! It is honestly the BEST lotion I've ever used! I used to by cetaphil lotion, and now I have two big costco containers just sitting in the closet, because I ONLY use this stuff! It works WONDERS on eczema!

right :: Intense Healing & Repair Hand Cream (this stuff is REALLY thick and it phenomenal for elbows and knees!)

Ok ONE more! Most people only think of Avon for makeup... not mixing bowls... but these have been my very favorite bowls for years now! In fact... I may be sure for a new set!

** I was not compensated for this post in any way. All products were purchased and used by me. I just really love them all that much!**

I'm back! {What I love Wednesday}

 

Thank you for all the sweet messages on facebook regarding our sweet baby girl! We are SO glad she is here! It was a rough surgery, but an AMAZING recovery! SO much easier than my first! I wont bore you with details, but I'll share some of my favorite photos!

 

I also wanted to share a few things I am LOVING as of lately!

EOS Lip Balm: LOVE this stuff! actually, I've loved it for a few years now! The chapstick is amazing, and the scents are all to die for! Plus, how cute is the container!? I've seen them at Walgreens, Walmart, Target... pretty much everywhere! I may or may not have EVERY scent! they run around $3.

 

Chiobani Greek Yogurt tubes: I was really excited when I saw these at walmart! My little boy loves gogurt, and these are the exact same thing, only more protein and less sugar! and around the same price! ($250 for 8) Plus, they are wonderful frozen!!

Huggies new case: I have no idea what this is called, but when I saw it at Target, I HAD to have one! I love the hard, refillable case to throw in the diaper bag! I know they have those small cases, but I always forget to refill those! This holds the same amount as the plastic bags, but doesn't get ripped or smashed! I got mine for $2.18 I think.

What I love Wednesday!

Did anyone else have these at their high school vending machines? I remember sneaking our of 11th grade science to buy these with my friends! I still love the strawberry ones! I buy the mixed fruit kind for my little boy, and ever once in awhile, I'll steal a strawberry!

I bought these at target the other day and am already obsessed! I had seen them in the grocery store for awhile, but I'm so glad I decided to grab some! They are so yummy! And the perfect snack!

This is the new welcome mat for our porch! Is it sad that it took up almost 2 years to buy a mat? I love the color! It adds so much to our boring front step! I got it at target for around $12.

What I Love Wednesday

I got these fruit peels at Target on a whim one day, they were cheap and organic, which is always a good combination. Turns out, they are SO yummy too! I even snuck a few!

I have a project that I will post soon using this spray paint. I was a little skeptical at first, but I figured it was worth a try! I LOVE the results! Now I am scouring the house for more things I can paint with it!

These wipes are pretty much my best friend. I used Lysol wipes forever, but these ones are safe around little ones, which is wonderful with an almost-two-year-old. The lemongrass smells yummy too!

What I Love Wednesday

During the summer we eat a lot of sandwiches/hoagies/wraps at our house, and I am always getting bored with plain turkey or ham. I tried this buffalo chicken at walmart and fell in LOVE! It doesn't hurt that I am obsessed with buffalo chicken anyways, but this lunch meat is SO yummy! It's so flavorful and adds way more to your sandwich rather than plain turkey.

Anything pineapple has me hooked no problem. I totally dont even mind washing dishes because they smell so good!

Mr. B is getting to the age that he wants to have a mobile snack, which wouldn't be a problen if it stayed in the cup. We found these at Harmon's for like $2 I think! I LOVE them! Definetly a toddler necessity!

What I Love Wednesday

It's sad, but I had never used primer on any of my projects, and umm... I LOVE it! I will never go back! It made it SO much easier to paint over the porcelin candlesticks that I bought!

I used this kind (for metal) because it was the only kind they had at my walmart. But I recently bought the normal kind, I'll let you know if I like it as much.

I am obsessed with these lately! They are great for small rooms like kid's bedrooms and bathrooms, my only complaint is that they are a little strong at first, but they work really well!

I  just got the febreeze for the car, I'm excited to try is out! I got the Thai Dragon Fruit, it's my favorite scent at the moment.

These, I got for my little boy. And because I had a coupon, but he loves them! They have tons of nutritional value and they actually taste more like a cookie than anything! Can't complain about that! Anything nutritional that I can get my teething 18 month old to eat is okay by me!



What I love Wednesday

We had a few warm days here in Southern Utah, and it sent me into SPRING mode! I stashed away all of the banana bread and caramel apple scents and pulled out the Fruity ones! I was at Walmart the other day and saw this and fell in LOVE with the smell! It's super tart and just smells like summer! I have it melting right now, and even though it's 45 degrees outside and it looks like it's about to downpour... my house smells like it's August and the sun is shining!

I seriously live in these skinny jeans now-a-days! They are so stretchy and comfy, and for around $10 I can afford a pair... or 2... or 6. :) Forever 21, here I come.

Have you tried these chips yet!? Go out. Buy them. They are so darn good! I bought 2 bags the other day, now I just need to make some guacamole!

What I love Wednesday

These ice cream bars are my new obsession. I am not a huge sweets fan, but these are so good! And 110 calories? Can't beat that!

So I really really love this song. Don't worry I linked the clean version! I've got little ears around here! This is actually one song (other than country) that my husband and I agree on!

I got this cereal the other day because it was on sale and I had a coupon making it .99 cent a box, but I LOVE it! I'm a huge Honey Bunches of Oats fan anyways, but this one takes the cake!

What I Love Wednesday

It's been awhile since I've done one of these!! :) Not for lack of things to love! This week I want to talk about what I love.... CHRISTMAS edition!

First off is scentsy melts! These aren't from scentsy however, they are from Walmart! $2.00 people! And they smell DIVINE! One or the other is filling my home with their heavenly scents at all times every day! I'm a tad obsessed!

Next... what's in my coco cup! I love this stuff! I got it last year after the holidays when they went on clearance. It is amazing!

Lastley, I'll leave you with a few of my favorite holiday movies!

What I love Wednesday {Ikea Edition}

Have you ever been to Ikea? No? Well you should! I LOVE that store! We dont have one where I live, but we go up North a lot, and ALWAYS stop there! There are always a few things that I keep buying, #1 because they are cheap, you can walk out of there with a HUGE cart of stuff for under $100! and #2 because they are actually really quality products!

My first pick, the measuring cups. I love these things! The numbers dont ware off, and they are super sturdy! I have like 3 sets of these! They also have the measuring spoons, that I may have to get next trip!

Next up is the childrens tableware. I LOVE this stuff! I think each pack of 6 is like $1.99. They are sturdy and dishwasher safe (thankfully!) I have 2 sets of the cups, 1 for my baby to drink from... and one to play with! they make awesome stacking cups and the colors are great!

Okay I think this is my very favorite Ikea find, I LOVE these salad bowls! I bought 2 last time I was there and I use them all the time! They are really classic bowls and for $2.99 you cant go wrong!

Well, that's it for today! My 3 favorite Ikea finds! Hopefully you can find an Ikea near you and do some shopping of your own!

What I Love Wednesday...

I know, I've missed the last few weeks! But here is what I love this week!

This dressing is awesome! I have seriously eaten salads with this for like 9 out of 10 lunches the past few weeks!

I bought this baby yesterday! I had a swiffer in our last house, but we had linoleum floors, so it didn't work too well and I ended up throwing it away. In our new house, we have tile, and I was sick of getting down on my hands and knees every single day to clean up little spots. So I bought another one! And I have to admit, I was THRILLED when I saw they had a pink one for breast cancer awareness!

enough said.



Happy Wednesday!

What I Love Wednesday (a day late)

I really could not live without a pizza stone! Okay, a tad dramatic... but I couldn't bake a pizza without one! It makes the pizza perfectly crisp and yummy! I got mine from Bed Bath and Beyond, for like $15 I think.

If you are a crafter, organizer, or even just a mom, you NEED a laminator! I got mine for Christmas a few years back and I use it all the time!

This is the teriyaki glaze I was talking about in this BBQ Teriyaki Chicken. It's thick, and sticky and SOO good! I bought it at walmart for like $2.00.

Sorry this was a quick post! I am in party planning mode for my soon-to-be 1 year old! Stay tuned for all that fun stuff!

What I Love Wednesday

I missed last weeks 'What I love' day! But here's a few things I am ALL about recently!

Walmart's popcorn chicken. I LOVE this stuff! It's really good quality chicken (no fatties/chewy parts) and it's only $6 for the bag. It lasts us about 2-3 weeks depending on how many meals we use it for (usually 1-2 a week) Here's how I cook it - Mirrowave it according to the package directions. While it's microwaving, start your broiler in the oven. Transfer the chicken onto a cookie sheet and stick it under the broiler for a few minutes, turning every so often, until the outsides are crisp. It tastes just like if if was cooked in the oven, just 10x faster!

 this pasta is awesome! I bought some of it on sale awhile back, and wasn't too sure about it because I was afraid it would taste funny or 'healthy', but it's really good! And it has so many befefits compared to regular pasta, with the same taste! I like using it way more than whole wheat pasta!

I figured I'd better throw in a non food item! I love my cricut trimmer! I actually have 2 of them, one's not from cricut, but I got it at the same place, Robert's Crafts. I use this literally ever single day! It makes cutting strait lines so fast and easy! You can pick one of these up for like 6 bucks (I think that's what I paid) when you use a 50% off coupon.
