New fave shampoo

Do you follow MintArrow on Insta?  She recently posted a pic and her hair was SO SHINY.  She had tons of comments on it and shared her little secret.  Drugstore shampoo.  Is.It.Possible?  I had to run out and grab it myself and have been using for the last few days.

I have fine hair so I have to be careful with conditioners but I have a lot of blonde in my hair so I need something to keep it looking healthy.  Just the name OIL scared me but......

It's legit, peeps!  Go getcha some.

Suiting up for Spring

I hate to admit this but I am loving these cooler temps.  I live in Central Florida and it just doesn't get cold here.  I love scarves and layers and this weather is perfect for it.
However, I have no doubt that wearing a dress REQUIRES some bronzing lotion.  These legs are pale.  So, for that part, I am ready for Spring.

I am seeing the cutest suits this season and am loving the tops with extra detail.  I haven't tried a new swimsuit like this before but am feeling brave (browsing online anyways) and am feeling the urge to spruce up my swim style.

Hope you are off to a great week.  I am feeling so good after taking off a couple days last week.  I am excited to get through these next couple days and relax this weekend.

Packing for Boone

We are off to Boone today!  The high is 5 degrees....brrrrrr.  Last night I got all packed up.

My MIL works for VF Corporation which happens to own a lot of brands I am fond of, North Face, Reef, Nautica, Lucky and a few more.  She is so sweet and hooks us up with all the good stuff.  Most of my cold weather gear is North Face since I get it as a gift but I also have a few other favorites.  Burton makes great snowboarding gear.  I have a jacket and pants to keep me warm and dry.

I also recently bought the Sorel boots.  This will be my first trip wearing them.  My husband was extra sweet and got us lots of boot and glove warmers.  I have a couple neck warmers I got on sale from Gap that I will be adding to the mix this year too.  It's just me and two six year-olds, a 10 and 14 year old.  We fly out this afternoon and get back Sunday night.

Christmas list for the gals

1-Who wouldn't love a statement necklace? This would be great for all the ladies on your list.
2-Hunter Boots are where it's at this fall.  These are a nice change to the standard glossies.
3-Our entire family loves their tumblers.  Feeling creative? Customize yours online.
4-Bar carts are the cutest home accessory and these would be a great addition to your fashion glasses.
5-Moms would love this soft Chanel scent.
6-We picked up these mocassins for Simon's grandmother.  These are super soft and have a grippy sole so they will be just as safe for her as they are fashionable.
7-My nieces each got weekender bags, monogrammed.  The pink is so cute.
8-I have had my Clarisonic for years and it's the gift that keeps on giving.  This Mia is perfect.
9-My new fave mascara.  I love Dior mascara and this is everything!
10-We spend the summers at the lake and a great tote is a must.  This is a good choice.
