Preparing for Baby - Travel Essentials

Oh my goodness....the time is almost here for this first-time mom.  I hit 37 weeks a few days ago and it finally set in, we are at the finish line.  I have been reading every.single.review for every product and wanted to share what we have so far.

My husband assembled the stroller and was amazed at how quickly he had it done.  He can tend to be impatient on projects like this but had it put together in no time.  We are trying to stick with just essentials, versus every possible item so for taking the new little one out and about, here's what we ended up getting.

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.

Everyday make-up for brown eyes

I am loving these cooler temps (finally) but am really missing my summer glow.  I feel so pale right now.  I just picked up the new Naked3 and so far, I love it.  There are a couple colors that are heavy on the glitter but there are plenty of options that are good to go.  The far right colors are similar to Naked2 but all the new ones give even more options than before.

Here are my go-to choices for late winter.

Favorite shower products of the moment

Favorite Shower Products




OMG! I am a product junkie!  Goodness.  I hope I am not the only lady that has her shower stocked up.  Sadly, I have even more than this in the shower but this covers most of the good stuff.

1.  Kerastase is my go-to for shampoo and conditioner.  I didn't realize I had three different lines but I really love them all.  The green color packaging is for volume.  I tend to rotate what I am using each day but this is good for a little fluff.

2.  This is probably my fave from Kerastase.  It's ivory packaging is their line to increase density.  The conditioner goes a long way and gives my hair a little more bulk.  It smells great too.

3.  The purple line was recommended for strengthening.  It's good but makes my fine hair soft.  It's not weighed down but lacks in volume.

4.  Ahhhhh, this cheapie is my Sunday fave.  After a week of working, soccer and racing, this shampoo is great for a deep cleanse.  Once I am clean, I throw on this violet shampoo to help keep the brassy tones away.  

5.  I picked this conditioner up at Target on a whim.  It is really great for a light conditioning without weighing my baby fine strands down.  Just a touch goes a long way.

6.  Clarisonic's prickly pear body scrub is the best.  It smells great and is soothing yet a great exfoliator.  It's a little hard to find for some reason but worth the hunt.  (Saks is my go to)

7.  My trusty Clarisonic has been in my shower for probably five years.  I don't replace my scrubber attachments as much as I probably should but this is a for sure go to keeper in the shower.

8.  Their face wash is pretty good.  Nothing super special but it does go on smooth and washes away clean and soft.  I prefer exfoliators but this is good if you are looking for a nice wash with no abrasive feeling.  I also use this face wash from Image that I get from my medi-spa.

9.  This is a recent find and it's a good one.  It's reasonably priced and does a great job.

10.Sugar scrubs are a must.  I am not too picky on brands.  I will grab some at the grocery store if I see something I like.  I also love to peek in TJ Maxx when I stop by.  They have nicer brands and they are prob $6-$8.00.

11.I don't know how I did it, but I grabbed these refills instead of my normal ones.  (btw...has anyone noticed how ridiculously priced razors are?!!)  I had to go back and buy the razor too but it has worked out.  This brand has several blades and are good for tricky areas like knees and ankles.

Alrighty, I am exhausted!  I really cannot believe I have all this stuff (plus a little more) in my shower.  Sadly, I have just as much on my counter and in my vanity drawers.  Sorry, not sorry.  :)

Hope you are off to a great week.  The weekend is almost here!

Christmas list for the gals

Christmas gift ideas
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.

What are your go to gifts this year?  My shopping is almost done!  I am ready for family time to enjoy our new goodies and relax.  Eight days to go.....
