Toasting to 4

Why hello there Friday, so happy you're here! 1. Yesterday was our 4th wedding anniversary. We celebrated low key last night by toasting with some almond champs *aka the best champagne ever* and watching our wedding video. I love our tradition of watching the wedding video. Always good for many many laughs and of course I love hearing my cousin's voice. Never thought you'd hear my H "rap" did you? Especially not on his wedding day..... *Wedding Regulators* 2....

4 Years

I can't believe it's been 4 years since I married my other half. I know every bride says this, but it seriously was the perfect day. We had a 16 month engagement because we still lived up in Connecticut at the time and knew we wanted to get married outside on the water and up there you only have a small window in which do so and everyone snatches up the warm weather dates. So, after 16 months of worrying that the weather would move our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour with ocean views inside the...

Always Shop the Deals

I was on a big shopping freeze while I was out of work in the spring, but have been enjoying filling up my closet again now that I've been back in the working world. That doesn't mean that I haven't continued being the savvy shopper that I am and cashing in on good deals though! I cashed in 500 Beauty Insider points for the NARS cults favorite pack which came with blush in Deep Throat, satin lip pencil in Rikugien, eyeliner, and smudge proof eyeshadow base. One of...

Tuesday's Recipe Swap ~ Unstuffed Peppers

I love stuffed peppers, but what I didn't love was all the work and time put into making them. Ain't nobody got time for that after a long day of work. So, instead of broiling the peppers in the oven and then re-doing it with all the fixings inside, I decided to try everything out with the peppers chopped up and cooked alongside all the fixings. Ingredients 2 cups of brown rice, cooked Diced grilled chicken 1 green peppers 1 red pepper 1 can of reduced sodium black beans 1 can of...

I needed a "me weekend"

Other than my work mixer on Friday evening and some shopping and pool time I did a whole lotta nothing this weekend and it was just what I needed. I felt awful, but I cancelled on my friend's jewelry party and on another friend's housewarming party. But I really needed to just lay low this weekend, and that's exactly what I did. Friday, I had a 007 Casino Royale mixer at work and it was so much fun. They went all out with the details, and I loved that as soon as I walked in I was greeted by guys...

5 Beautiful Memories

Today is a super emotional day for me as it marks the one year anniversary since I lost my beautiful cousin. I loved that girl unconditionally, and no one else will ever hold the title of cousin, sister, and best friend. So, today I wanted "my five" to be five of my favorite memories with her. We used to get into a lot of shenanigans, so some memories may need to stay put locked up in the vault 0:-) 1. My nana lived on Hilton Head, SC and we all flew in for a family reunion when I was about...

Fresh Face for Summer

It's that time of year where you can find me either by the pool or at the beach on the weekends. I try to minimize my look on these days by wearing less makeup and my hair in effortless waves. ~ BB Cream with SPF as a base ~ Dust a little powder on top ~ Add a little blush for some color ~ Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray for effortless wavy hair *that also smells great* ~ Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen for touch ups  ~ Up &...
