I dig it.

Random stuff I'm digging a lot right now: 

** I am currently in LURVE with my Hot Tools 1 inch, 24K Gold Curling Iron. My friend mentioned hers and, upon reading reviews (I'm a BIG reader of reviews for beauty stuff), I decided to give it a shot! You're probably asking "what's the big deal? It's a curling iron." Well, for a girl that has tried EVERYTHING to get her hair to curl, it's a big deal. I have super fine,  super straight hair. I have a lot of it, but it's just really straight. And doesn't hold curl... UNTIL NOW. I freaking love this curling iron! My hair stays curly all day! And since I haven't even attempted to curl my hair for years, I found a really good tutorial from Tiffany D (the makeup blogger I already read). So if you (1) need a good curling iron or (2) need a tutorial, check these out. :)

** My iPad. A very generous Christmas gift, this thing has been freaking amazing! I read on it, play on it, research on it, take notes on it in meetings. Yeah, it's the coolness. :) I just ordered the Incipio Smart Feather hard case for the back of it. It clasps over the front case's magnets so it holds the front case on, too. (If you have the front case that folds you know what I'm talking about). I'm all about protecting this thing from my clumsiness.
**My Lululemon stuff Eric got me for Christmas! :) I've been wearing the pants he got me to Crossfit and freaking LOVE them. They stay comfortable and don't bunch up or come down (seriously.. I have some running tights that like to try to fall down when I'm running..haha..). Anyway, I love them and I'm sure the people at Crossfit are going to wonder if I own any other workout pants.
** Bath and Body Shea Cashmere Hand Creme in Warm Vanilla Sugar. I have some at home, at my desk, and I really want another one for my handbag. This stuff ROCKS, especially in the winter.


**Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. I've never used a primer, nor did I think I wanted to. But, I ordered some holiday stuff from Sephora and got a sample of this with my order. Um.. it's awesome. I've been debating buying the full size (I probably will) when my sample runs out. On the days I use it, I notice my makeup stays on quite a bit longer. I've also been using the All Nighter Setting Spray, so I had a hard time determining whether it was the spray or the primer. But, after wearing one and not the other, I kinda think it's a little of both products. I definitely notice the primer makes a difference. Do you use a primer? I always thought they were a total ripoff not really worth it until I tried this one.

**Hulu. I am kinda digging the heck out of Hulu! My roomie and I recently downsized our cable package because we really weren't watching but a couple shows on the excess channels anyway so why spend the extra $$. And two of those shows, I can still get on hulu! I knew about hulu and I liked the concept. But, I never really used it til now. And I dig it. Team Hulu! haha! ;)

What about you? Anything you're digging a lot (or a lot more than you used to) right now? :)

Umm hi we are the same: I have that curling iron, love lulu and smashbox for the win! Did you get my email about Stella and Dot??

It's the primer! I got that same one from them with an order and I've noticed the results from it too! I'm almost out of my sample and will be getting a full size one this weekend!

I would seriously live in my Lulu pants if I could! Well, minus work I pretty much do! Nick and I also downsized our cable and Hulu totally gets us by for all the Network shoes and then for Bravo I just buy episodes on the ipad for 99 cents - much cheaper than a month of cable!

I wish I had some Lulu clothes...it's so hard to justify spending that much! Maybe I'll treat myself after the baby comes :)

I was really hesitant to spend 240 dollars on THREE things from lululemon. THankfully their products are super awesome...Sucks that they are SOO expensive, but I really am liking my new work out apparel! :)

Britt said...

Loving everything you are digging right now! I know the lululemon stuff is worth it, but I just can't justify spending that much $$ on workout gear. I will just have to live vicariously though you. lol

Krystal said...

I need that curling iron and to watch the tutorial!
Where do you buy smashbox? Sephora?
HULU is amazing!!! I don't have any type of cable and I stream everything from hulu through my Roku player so I can watch it on tv!!

Everything at Bath and Body Works is keeping me happy right now. Especially their 75% off sale. Yes and yes.

I love Hulu, too. I got so fed up with paying for cable that we switched a few years ago to a combination of Hulu/Netflix/Redbox which is still cheaper than dish or cable and we have so much more control over what we watch. And if I really can't live without watching something, I check the library or suck it up and buy it on Amazon.

Kerr said...

I absolutely need a curling iron and tutorial. I am hair impaired. Thank you!

Gabe and I went to the LULU outlet an hour from my house and went WILD.BUTT.WILD. I love it all, hah!

Claire Kiefer said...

The problem with lululemon is that once you get a pair of their pants, you don't want to wear anything else. :( It's an expensive habit but oh my gosh do I love them. I feel the same way about Smashbox primer!!! I am out of it now, but this makes me want to go buy some more right away, cause it's amazing and I love the texture/consistency. SILKY!
