I'm going to try and start posting my monthly favorites once a month. At first I thought I would try doing a YouTube video once a month but I'll be honest I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet! Have you seen the comments people make on YouTube videos? I just don't understand all the hate! If you don't like a persons video why even watch? Anyway, I'm getting off track! lol
My monthly favorites may include fashion, seasonal decor, books, music, my fav. iPhone app, cosmetics...you get the idea. Hope someone enjoys them! lol By the way I'm still posting from my phone so excuse any errors.
I wore very little make-up during the month of February. But when I did I kept it very light. My go tos were my elf eyeshadow, elf bronzer, elf primer ( I mean it's only a $1.00). My Cover girl mascara and my Mary Kay mineral powder.
Speaking of Mary Kay. I've been trying to stay on my daily cleaning regiment but I have to admit as convient as the new formula is I'm a basic girl at heart. So a few months ago I asked my consultant for the original mask so that I could deep cleanse once a month. I also had an old bottle of fresher that Ive been holding on to and I use it on the days I wear make-up. Which actually isn't that often! Usually just Sundays and special occasions.
I have been loving the Bath and Body Works line.Over the years I have received some of their products as a gift but this year I have been obsessed. I grabbed the Cashmere Glow line over Christmas in a Black Friday special. I had my daughter Nicki go back in February and pick up the mist. You know I like a product when I buy the mist. My skin gets very dry in the winter and actually even in the summer so I have been using the Eucerin lotion for a while. I've tried other products but I keep coming back so now its the only kind I buy for my dry and cracked skin.
My Bath and Bodyworks candles for the month of February were Cranberry Pear Bellini and Winter. I've almost used them all up!
In late January my daughter took me to Teavanna for the first time to pick out a late Christmas gift (I also got to go to Lush for the first time). I am in love with my new Tea Maker and I love the loose tea that the have. The mug was my Valentine mug that I got from the Dollar Tree!
Fashion has been the last thing on my mind in the last few months. LOL And my wardrobe mostly consisted of my favorite Disney shirts, my stretch jeggings, and my new favorites...my Nine West Jeans from Sam's Club of all places. I picked two pair up over the holidays for $9.00 a piece. And you all know how I love a bargain. Surprisingly they fit great and I've found them to be very comfortable.
With my arm and back being in so much pain I had to downsize what I carried in my purse and in the end I even had to downsize my purse! My small plaid Bass bag from our trip to Lancaster PA last summer has really come in handy. And on special occasions or for church I pulled out a small fur bag that my Aunt gave me a few years ago that I had never used.
Even coats seemed to feel heavy on me, so I have worn this lined hoody out. I picked it up from Sam's Club ( man, I buy a lot of clothes from Sam's...lol). That and a scarf I swiped from Marc and my Target gloves with the special fingers for your phone have been my best friend this winter. I even wore this thing to Cleveland when we went in December before the pain got really bad.
I love books but holding a book up to read has been a challenge. So I've been looking at a lot of magazines. I haven't done this since my teen years when I would stock up on the Teen Mags when I got my allowance!
Again, another change has been not being able to wear my big chunky jewelry ( have you ever tried to wear a heavy statement piece when your back and neck feel like they are on fire) so I'm kind of glad that I started getting into smaller necklaces this fall. Now I'm obsessed with finding them! LOL
The one thing I have really missed has been decorating. I did manage to put up a few things for Valentines Day...but nothing like I usually do! They are now back in their boxes ready for next year! Well that concludes my first monthly favorites. Hope you enjoyed it. My arm is starting to hurt so I'm pretty sure that's my cue to give it a break!
