Hello pretty peoples! Gosh, we had one hell of a long March! Now we are on to April showers with the hope for a ton of May sunshine (which in turn will bring those flowers)! I thought this month, of all months, we could use a few extra Pick-Me-Ups that feel like the long awaited Spring is actually here! So in addition to a couple "Pretty Little" PMU's, I'd throw in some extras...the inspiring, the eye candy and the tastebud variety!
I'll begin with my eye candy! Just cause it's so purty and who doesn't want to start with purty?!
A bouquet...of hair accessories! :) my little collection of flower clips ignited my urge for stage one of Spring organizing. The warmer months are all about less clothing and more pretty pick me ups! The beads, the bling and these beauties. So with the help of $5 and some clever thinking, I transformed my cluttered jewlery shelves into a simplistic colorful display. And there's nothing that makes me smile more first thing in the morning than the special art and creations by my Paris Renee! All my favorites, from the 5 year old handprints to the ceramic painted elephant ring holder. And my personal fav, the pastel birdbath shaped by hand! Far better than store bought! Not to mention, sprinkled here and there are always some of my very favorite pieces from my sisters jewlery collection. You can find some of her designs on Instagram at http://instagram.com/ejjewels
(I just realized how chatty I've gotten, not that any of you are shocked by, I'm sure! Better move along...)
My March Pretty Little PMU's almost all consisted of one order placed to one of my favorite cosmetic companies, E.L.F. Being the thrifty shopper that I am, I like to time my orders perfectly (in other words, 50% off sale and free shipping)! And it doesn't hurt that the majority of their products are $1, $3 and $5. Oh yes dearies, you heard me! And I'm really impressed with the quality as well. They even have a mineral line, free of parabens, preservatives or chemical dyes.
The ONLY product I wasn't thrilled with here was the jumbo eyeshadow stick. It seems to melt away super fast and with Summer coming we need makeup that will stay put. I do, however, recommend the Make Up Forever eyeshadow sticks! Awesome colors and all day wear! My other new "make me smile" item this month is a new twist on an good ole favorite. I'm addicted to the EOS lip balm in Sweet Mint but I stumbled upon their Lemonade flavor and LOVE it! Same great feel and coverage only it tastes like fresh yummy lemons! What's more Summer than that! As for the tastebud Pick-Me-Up's this month, I have a 1-2-3 punch! 1- The ridiculously tasty and still healthy mini cup Chobani puts out in the new flavor, Mint with Dark Chocolate Chips! No words! Mmmm!
2- It's almost farmers market and roadside stand season! Which for us means an abundance of fresh organic produce to juice! At least one a day will fill your tummy (and your blood stream) with pure raw goodness! We decided to get a jump on it and dust off the juicer early! Bottoms up!
3- Last but not least, we are Ball glass canning jar junkies! We use them for juicing, storing and even vases! So alittle reorganizing was needed in our nuts, seeds and dried fruit department and what's the first thing you do after you're finished...take pictures of course! To share! I think that just about sums up March for now. On to April and the rainy yet SUNSHINING days:) Our evening walks after dinner will begin again! Until the flip flops and tank tops come out, we will pull up our socks, button up our vests and take to the muddy streets! Happy days and warmer nights to all!
