Essie: ruffles & feathers

Sometimes I just can't pass up a pretty nail polish even if it's outside my my normal range of colors and this one by Essie called RUFFLES & FEATHERS was calling my name as I walked by the nail polish section in target so I couldn't leave it there all sad and needing a good home.

It's a fun bright creamy green that is so pretty. Like always I used two coats and the application was perfect, no streaks. 

I have been loving it with black and white striped shirts/ dresses. Such  a different color for summer rather than pinks & corals 

Xo, 

Essie come here!

Summer is here and that means bring in the bright shades of nail polish. 

Come Here is such a pretty coral shade that's perf for summer. This polish has such an easy application I did two coats and it was good to go. 

I had to run to target for a few things after I did my nails and in the sun this polish looks even better and a true bright Coral color. 

I also have this in my toes and it is such a pretty color I just can't get enough 

Xo, 

May favs

Hello summer, I've been waiting for you! 

Finally June is here and so is summer and it's a hot one. 

I've had every intention of getting this up sooner but every time i sit down to type it up little miss diva wants some attention or to just play with my phone or computer...

I have been wearing very simple makeup 

But here are a few of my May favs and of course Kinsley's favs 

I have rediscovered my love for my Laura mercier silk creme foundation and am almost out but my other foundations are a little too light for me now so i need to get a new foundation soon. 

i have also been using my trusty beat up naked 1 palette and my tarte exposed blush 

a few new favs are the jergens natural glow lotion, i loved this stuff like 10 years ago and thought id pick some up again .

i found this great whiting toothpaste by LUSTER NOW!  at Safeway and i have noticed a difference in my teeth and they are looking a lot whiter.

Essie nail polish in too tabu is so pretty and has been on my nails and toes practically all month long  its the perfect shade of purply fuchsia!

For mothers day i got this cute bangle from nordstrom by Alex & Ani with the initial "K"  for my sweet girl. its perfect to pair with other bangles.

KINSIE LOVES:

Of course we love out headbands but we have been loving our top knots this month and these are just  few of the ones we have been loving 

sadieskyboutique & willow crowns

Kinsie has been loving some new toys this month her little piano that she fell in love with after a playdate with her cousin ..her octopus puppet and her stacking cups from our citrus lane box. and some new link rattle toy ( blanking on the name) from our fav place target.

we also have been loving our raspberry Freshly picked moccs.

And ....since the weather has been so hot and sunny we have been loving sundresses and rompers cuz what else is summer good for.

hope you had a great month of May and an even better June

April loves

May is finally here and that means summer is coming up fast. I can't wait to have some summer fun. 

I didn't have a lot of new beauty favs this month but I do have some random things and of course what Kinsley loved . 

I found this Marc Jacobs summer daisy (last year) at Marshall's finally! I love all Marc Jacobs  perfume you can never go wrong with them. 

Urban decay cannonball mascara is the best waterproof mascara and with the change of this lovely spring /summer like weather my allergies have come back for a visit, so along with allergy pills this has come in handy 

nyx hd concealer .. I still love my benefit erase paste but I have been loving this for brightening under the eye and highlighting my face more "ahh-la Kim k style." 

Hourglass ambient lighting blush in mood exposure .. LOVE LOVE LOVE . Nuff said 

Essie big spender & opi I love applesauce nail polishes. what can I say about these they are gorgeous and perfect girly colors for spring . 

R A N D O M S : 

I have been trying to get my workout on with the wii active and this has been my morning go to breakfast I haven't tried to mango yet but have been loving the strawberry and mixed berry the best . 

My Steve Madden sandals from marshals! I love a good deal and these are to cute and way comfy. big score!

This pretty from h&m spices up any mommy uniform and makes me feel more " put together " even if I throw my hair up in a top knot and have baby drool staining my clothes. 

What kins loves : 

Her freshly picked moccs

We were lucky enough to win a pair from Jen at twobytwomom blog on Instagram and have fallen so much in love with these. Her feet so so tiny she's 6 months old and her feet don't fit some  0-3 shoes I have for her. these are perf and stay on her feet! not to mention so adorbs!

Her jumpy 

Her new polka dot rug

Fisher price makeup vanity. My bestie got this for Kinsley for Christmas and I have been dying to have her play with it and naturally she loves it ESP the lipstick. Proud momma moments 

I think that just about wraps up our April favs can't wait to see what may brings. hope you all had a great month of april.

Essie big spender

I cannot be more obsessed with the color radiant orchid! I mean obsessed! I want anything and everything of this color I can't get enough I even had my hubby buy a can of paint so I can plaster it all over my walls . 

So naturally I would want to paint my nails with it right? Right!  Essie big spender is such a gorgeous color you need this in your life I have been wearing it for about two weeks now and am so in love it's cream and the application is flawless no streaks or funky finish it does on so smooth and oh so pretty! So perfect for spring 

I mean how could you not love this color! 

Go get it now! 

Xo. 

mani monday: Essie Penny Talk

I cannot count how many times I have passed this polish up and I honestly do not know why I ever did. I finally picked it up at target and kept it in my cart. 

As with all metallic polishes it picks up every little imperfection in your nails . I used my trusty FILL THE GAP  base coat from Essie then two coats of PENNY TALK  then GOOD TO GO top coat , I love this top coat it dries super fast. 

Penny Talk is such a gorgeous rose gold metallic polish that is a must have for any polish addict. the only thing I didn't like about this polish is that it does chip easy, maybe if you only apply one coat it won't chip as fast ,but this polish is really just to pretty to pass up.

Mani Monday : Essie find me an oasis

I have been looking everywhere for the new spring Essie polishes and target finally got them in. I only picked up two because I have a whole drawer  full of polish I need to purge. 

Find me an oasis is a creamy light blue polish that almost looks white at times. 

There was some streaking going on as with most essie polishes but the second coat was a lot better. 

I'm really loving this color for spring
