Weekend Recap!

Happy Superbowl Sunday! Did you watch? Did you care? Did you care more about the commercials than the game (like me)? How was the weekend? Mine was good.. I'll get right to some photos.. 

Thursday, got together with some friends from my former jobbidy! Such a great time with these lovely ladies I hadn't seen in entirely too long. :)

Friday, I went to Crossfit and upped my weight a tinge! Totally doable... but today, I'm still so sore I can't fully extend my arms without really focusing on it... haha.. Sheez. I tried to find a photo of some juiced up meathead walking with his arms flexed at his sides b/c that's kinda how I feel..(not like a juiced up meathead, but the arms at the sides thing... You got it, right? haha.. anyway...). Then, Eric and I headed to a friend's bday dinner for Mexican food and margs.

Saturday, Ashley and Jenny hosted a "sprinkle" for Sarah. I didn't know what a sprinkle was before a few friends got pregnant with baby number two, so in case you don't know either, I'll tell ya.. :) Sprinkle=light shower to celebrate the baby...often for a second kiddo. It's like a baby shower in a smaller sense and usually features more practical gifts (like diapers) since the momma-to-be usually has the big stuff.  Anyway, it was super cute and great to get-together. :)
Brooke makes the most awesome watermelon baby carriages...just saying.


Hostesses Jenny and Ashley with Sarah :)
Two hot mammas, each pregnant with baby boy number two! 

Sunday, had lunch with Eric's family and ran some much-needed errands. Going to the grocery store on Superbowl Sunday was probably not the best plan... Just sayin. Anyhoo, since I was dreading the grocery store, I popped in Ulta to grab some hairspray and look around. And since I can't ever just get one thing there (Target and Ulta have that in common in my book), I picked up a couple fun things too.

I grabbed a couple tantowels.. mostly b/c they were under $2 each, I had a coupon, and I have a friend who raves about them. I figured why not, soooo once I towel myself with a tan, I'll let you know what I think. If I look like I spilled coffee on myself, expect entertaining photos to go along with my review... (but let's hope that doesn't happen). ;)



Former tanning bed addict and perpetually on the hunt for the best self-tanners. 

I've also been really wanting to try the Garnier Skin Renew Anti Dark Circle Eye Roller (sheez, that's a mouthful. Seriously say it all in one breath. Whoa, right?). I've read good reviews from some of the beauty blogs out there and it's always sold out at Ulta (likely to just make it want it more), so I picked one up. I immediately put it on in the car b/c I'm a loser.  A lot more came out at once than I was expecting for a rollerball, but I liked the results enough, but I guess I'll see how it works more this week. I have crazy-bad allergies that in turn cause dark circles sometimes, so crossing my fingers. :) Do you use it? Like it? 

Something I wanted to buy but exhibited some self control over were some awesome little Katy Perry lashes from Eylure. They were only $6.99 and I think they're limited edition. They have their own adhesive and come in 4 different types. With my hands full of other products that I totally didn't need, I opted out of the lashes. But, if you've tried them, I'm curious what your thoughts are.

Annnnd I'll stop rambling now. But I'll leave you with G dog and her new haircut she got last week! She looks so thrilled about it, doesn't she? haha... ;) 
Happy Sunday, friends!

I use the Garnier Eye Roller under my makeup and when I don't feel like putting makeup on before I leave the house. I have super pale, see-through Irish skin that gives me pretty extreme dark circles. The first time my boyfriend saw me without makeup he seriously inquired whether I had gotten a black eye. This eye roller helps me to not look like a dead zombie if I am not wearing makeup.

As far as fake tanner, I do spray tans for events but inbetween sprays I use the Clarins self tanner and I'm really happy with it. Warning though - you will smell like self tanner after you put it on. But the smell goes away by morning. I bet if you went to the Clarins counter they would give you a sample size so you could try it before committing to it.

Dying for a review (with photos) of the tanning wipes!! I so regret tanning. Ugh. But I hate being so pale, though, I'm totally embracing my inner Cullen. Such a cute sprinkle! So fun!

Katie said...

Thanks for the explanation of a sprinkle...never knew! And always love makeup reviews so, excited to hear about your thoughts. Lastly, G Dog is looking adorable like always!

OH MY WORD GRACIE DOG IS PRECIOUS.

I didn't even know who was playing in the super bowl until like two days before...

I only care about the super bowl for the food, the half time show and the commercials. LOL

I kind of went on a snark fest about the half time show and "twitter's reaction" on my bloggy today....

Also. was not aware of the "sprinkle". haha adorable.
