white & red

I am so EXCITED that the sun is starting to come out and STAY out!! It's starting to feel more and more like summer!! Time to bring out your sun hats and sun dresses. I am in LOVE with this white and red detailed dress. Micheal Kors does it again. I had a hard day trying to find something I could buy while still staying on budget and my husband and I are trying to save money but when you love to shop you always NEED something new lol. Well maybe that's just me but I am OBSESSED with clothes. Anyway, we had been walking around the mall forever when I told him I was done because I hadn't seen anything I can get. Then just as we were walking out of the store my eyes go right to this BEAUTIFUL dress. I knew I needed it. I tried it on and fell even more in love with it. The tag said the dress was 70% off so there was no way I was passing this one up. I haven't regretted this purchase at all. You can wear it with sandals, heels and booties if you want to dress it more for fall. I can wear this dress every season which makes it an even bigger steal of a deal!

Swinging on a Sunday

Sunny Sundays call for a Barbie pink pencil skirt with a bright floral shirt. I'm obsessed with the steal of a deal I got on my skirt that my wonderful husband found. I got this skirt from Banana Republic Outlet for 65% off!

a house divided

Bulls vs. Cavaliers 3-2 in the best of 7 game series. The Cavaliers pull out the win tonight and i'm okay with that. I was just excited to "watch" the games for the cute photo opportunity we would get with our jerseys. James because he actually loves watching the games, and because he loves LeBron James. I will admit it has been a pretty exciting series to watch. Two buzzer beater games in a row one form the Bulls and one from the Cavaliers. A few fights and someone ejected out of the game!! I mean come on now that's what i'm talking about.  It will be exciting to see who pulls out the final win. We all know who       James wants and you know me, I couldn't care less.

              

I love my husband so much and how awesome he is for taking cute little pictures with me during the halftime highlights of the game. 

Outfit details: Leather leggings are one of my go to pants. You can put them with any shirt whether you want to dress them up or dress them down. Basic black T, everyone needs at least one in their wardrobe because you can also wear this with anything. Chucks! I mean what more do I need to say about these? I love mine so much and one of the best things about them is that they go with pretty much everything in my closet which is always a plus. My Jordan jersey is from my awesome husband and I have no idea where he got it. I wore my hair pulled all to one side and pinned back on the other side to add more emphasis on the one side. I also wore it like that so my hair doesn't split in the back due to overly dirty hair. Dirty hair is the best hair. 

I hope you enjoyed reading this post. I enjoy sharing tips on hair and make up and the occasional cute little moment between my husband and me. Let me know if you enjoyed what you have seen so far and if you want a specific breakdown on a hair style, fashion, or makeup let me know I would love to share with you.

Outfits

 

I LOVE fashion. Putting different things together from dresses and shoes, hair and makeup, and how if makes you feel. The first outfit is perfect for summer BBQ's or a day at the park. I am in love with the dress in the second set of pictures. It is very light and you can wear this dress in any season which makes it perfect. especially when your husband wont let you spend a ton of money on clothes every season. In the first and second set of pictures my hair is done with simple beach waves. It is super easy to do and it last for a few days, which is very nice when you are in a rush and don't have time to do your hair every morning. Also, if you don't do your hair every day with hot tools it helps it stay healthier and everyone loves healthy hair. The third outfit is one of my favorites. This white shirt is so comfortable and goes with anything. I love this fishtail braid crown I did in my hair. If you guys would like a step by step on any of my hair styles or make up just let me know and I will get right on that. My lipstick color is Candy Yum Yum from MAC. This one is my favorite one. The last hair style is a fish tail braid one of my go to hair styles when I haven't washed my hair in a few days. Dirty hair is the best hair. I hope you enjoyed reading this post and if there is any thing you guys would like to see or any info on hair products or make up let me know I would love to

share my secrets with you guys.

Sunday Best

The way we dress affects the way we think, the way we feel, the way we act, and the way others react to us. 

I am in love with this dress!! It is so comfy,It can be dressed down or up. It is definitely one for the closet. I didn't want to add anything to it to take away from the simpleness of the dress so I just added my favorite elephant necklace to just add something sweet to the outfit.

Summer kick off

I had such a fun day on Saturday! I spent it with my sister in-law Karlie and my two little loves Marlie and June. We spent the day at the park welcoming summer. We played with bubbles, saw ponies, and puppies. We also got to play at the jungle gym but mostly with the bark chips. We ended the afternoon eating lunch at BYU at a cute little restaurant called The Wall.

The Magic of Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil is a miracle product!!!! I have used this in my hair, on my skin, and I have just started using it on my lips. I truly believe in this product. I want to share a few things I have found in my research and also in my personal use. 

                         

Beauty and Health:  
    

Frizz tamer 

Conditioning hair mask 

Anti- wrinkle eye cream

Eye makeup remover 

Facial cleanser 

Lip balm

Massage oil 

Sunscreen 

Cuticle oil 

Soothe hangnails 

Bath oil 

Stop stretch marks 

Cellulite 

Shaving cream 

Skin moisturizer 

Bug repellent

Softens feet 

Smooths cracked heels

Dandruff remedy 

Lice treatment 

Acne treatment 

Cold sore healer 

Boost metabolism

Eczema 

Weight loss 

Kills herpes virus

Soothes burns 

Bug bites relief 

Antibacterial 

       Heals cuts and scrapes 

      Kills foot and nail fungus

There are so many more things that Coconut Oil can be used for. I have only used it for a few things on that list (the colored ones). I cant wait to try it on more things. Especially because there are a few on the list that will work great for these coming summer months. 

Here are some examples on how I use Coconut Oil:

Eczema: I have had eczema my whole life and its something I have had to deal with. I started using it and the eczema on my arms hasn't been as bad. I just apply like I would lotion. 

Hair mask: Coconut oil and Honey hair mask. This mask helps repair and moisturize damaged hair. I do this after I take my extensions out or after I get my hair colored. It does make your hair more oily so I would suggest doing it in the night and washing your hair again in the morning. 

Lip Balm: I have the worst dry lips. I have recently just started using it for lip balm. I have tried so many kinds of chapstick and none have worked.  I also get cold sores and I absolutely hate them but I have started using a mix of olive oil and coconut oil and have loved how my lips have felt. 

Eye makeup remover: I just apply it as i would face lotion and as an added bonus it helps your eyelashes stay strong and thick. 

Weigh loss: This is also a new thing that I have started to use. I add two scoops to my smoothies. They say to eat it plain by the spoonful but I dont think I am quite there yet.
