Friday Favorites

It's Friday again. We are going to the beach later today. It's will be nice & relaxing. Have a nice weekend.

Earrings. I got some smokey quartz earrings from TJ Maxx. I kept looking at them & wanting them, but I don't like gold. I gave in & bought them. I've been wearing them every day.

Crystal Book. I've loved crystals since 1989. I have a really old book with not many crystals in it. I saw this at TJ Maxx & decided that I had to have it.

Mug. I got this mug at Target. I love it. Anything with plants or plant lady etc... I'm afraid to use it because I'll probably break it.

Cute cat. Our cat Bianco was in a recycle bag yesterday. I thought he looked really cute.

Nail Files. Week # 356

I love blue. I know I wear a lot of blue polish, bu tit makes me happy. This from Essie-In the Cab-ana. Really pretty light blue color.

Happy National Lipstick Day

These are some of my fave lipsticks.

This Rimmel lipstick is 1 of my faves because it is almost the same color of my natural lips. It's just a little darker. I actually need to get a new 1. I'm running low on it. I went through 2 of them so far.
Rimmel London Kate Moss. #104.

 Maybelline-Touch of spice.

Lorac Alter ego-Duchess.

I love dusk & night time

Weekend

The weekend was quiet with A & T away. I went to Target on Friday & Kohls & TJ Maxx today. I ordered a pizza 1 night. Watched a lot of You tube & HGTV. I never did end up doing any crafts. It was nice though. I tried on some old clothes that doesn't fit & I'm going to donate it. I wrote some letters & took care of the garden. I also sold a few things on Poshmark. My username on there is Kimberleah28.

I wore my new sunflower mask to Kohls yesterday. It's really cute, but it's a little big.

I got a pair of new Nike's. I ordered them online & picked them up. I'm not sure about them yet because I have a bad foot. I tried them on yesterday after I walked around for a few hours. So I'll try them tomorrow.

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday. I feel like things have finally calmed down around here. It was a crazy month with lots of strange happenings. I think things are finally back to normal.


1. Car accessories-I got these pretty car seat covers the other day. I have black 1s with purple & pink butterflies on them, but they are in bad shape. They are kind of shredded & torn. I couldn't find the same 1s.

2. Skin care-Milani Rose, prep & brighten oil. It has rose hip oil in it & I've been wanting to try that. I've heard that it's really good for acne scars.

3. Birthdays-Celebrating Tara's 13th birthday on Tuesday was fun. Eating out at a bar & grill outside. Such a nice night too. Her friend took the picture. It's really far away, but I wanted a pic of the sign too.

4. Garden-I picked a tomato & a strawberry this week. I put the tomato in my salad yesterday. It was so good. I wish I had more. Not yet.

Have a nice weekend. Hubs & T are away camping, so I have the house to myself. I'm going to do some crafting.

What I'm reading now

 I started this book a few days ago & I like it already.


Turner Construction's latest restoration project is a historic Queen Anne Victorian in San Francisco. This time general contractor Mel Turner has to work around the owners who insist on sticking around-along with some ghosts that insist in their own way that the work stops...

But the ghosts aren't the only ones standing in the way of the renovations. A crotchety neighbor, Emile Blunt, secretly wants this house and could be behind some of the disturbances. But when Emile is found dead, it's Mel who appears guilty. Now she must restore the building-and her reputation-before it's too late.

Fun Summer nights

She's 13

Early Birthday party

It was 91 degrees out today. We had 3 of Tara's friends over. They stayed out in the yard & just ran around & did stuff. We always have her birthdays in our yard since she was little & it's always warm out. We've always gotten lucky with nice weather.

 Tara picked out a Cookies & cream cake. It was pretty good.

 We had her put her candles on her slice of cake & she blew it out.

Friday Favorites. 7/17/20

1. Decor-I got this pretty wreath from Walmart.com, I love pink & purple together. We have this on our front door.

2. Makeup-Eye shadow palette from Urban Decay.

So fun.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

                                               4. Happy Mail-After a slow few weeks of mail. I got 3 letters today. yay. I know there is usually a Summer slump, but people aren't going away like they usually do.

Nail Files. Week # 355

Today I put on Essie-Turquoise & Caicos. You need about 3 coats. I haven't worn this color in a while. It's not 1 of my faves. I guess that's why I haven't worn it in a while. It still kind of looks a bit sheer even with 3 coats.

Ingredient:

• 1 lb. chicken breasts, or tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 Tbsp avocado oil, or olive oil
• 6 ripe Roma tomatoes, chopped and lightly sprinkled in sea salt
• 3 fresh garlic cloves, crushed or chopped
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees f.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add in chicken and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on the sides and almost cooked through.
4. Transfer the chicken to an 8x8 baking dish (sprayed or brushed with oil to prevent sticking), top with chopped tomatoes, oregano, garlic, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Monday Motivation

New Make-up

I finally made it to Ulta today. I tried to go on my Birthday, but I forgot that it was Sunday & they were already closed since we got there at almost 7:00pm. I wanted to get my free birthday gift, but I guess I only had until 6/30 ( I tried to go on my b-day, 6/28). I asked about it yesterday & they said they were only doing it until the end of June. I guess that means they are no longer doing free birthday gifts. Kind of sad. I enjoyed getting them. I had a $15 gift card for Ulta, so I got Garnier skin Active BB cream-anti-aging. I like to use BB creams when I stay in the house. I want more of light coverage, but enough to cover the redness & I also like to use stuff with spf. I wear spf on my face every day. I also got Benefit Gimme Brow mascara for my brows. My eyebrows are turning white. I also got Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes (a mini at Sephora)

I had a $25 gc for Sephora from doing surveys, so I got this mini palette from Urban Decay. These are totally my colors. I love nudes & browns with my green eyes.

Does anyone else get excited to try new make-up & skincare? I sure do.

Nail Files. Week # 354

I got another Essie polish this week. It's "Splash of Grenadine". It's a pinkish purple. It's a little lighter than I thought it would be, but still pretty.

Tomorrow

Sometimes we have a bad day. Things go wrong from the minute you get up. You have to remember that there will be a new day tomorrow. I always feel better the next day after a good night's sleep. The days are longer right now, but you will get through it. Wake up with a fresh start & don't dwell on your previous day.
