head first

Taylor bought the Moroccan Oil that I keep hearing about.

My stylist didn’t have any when I got my hair did the other night after work, but she had L’Oreal’s mythic oil and I’m sure they’re about the same thing. She put it on my hair dry and I loved it so much I bought some. She had a holiday pkg that came with poo, a conditioning masque and a bottle of the oil. I’m not a huge fan of the poo bc it comes in a smaller bottle than I like and you don’t get a good soapsud lather (that I love) but my hair is soft after the poo rinse and I suppose that’s all that matters. However, the masque and oil are amaze balls.

I stopped by Ulta to get my concealer. I love Benefit’s Erase Paste. I wear the FAIR 1 shade and swear by this stuff:

And then I noticed they’re moisturizer’s packaging. I needed to stop by the Chanel counter to replenish my empty jar, but I couldn’t help but notice Benefit’s skin care line (and that it was ~$40 cheaper). I decided to give it a whirl and picked up a jar to take home. I really like everything about it except for the smell. I don’t like obvious perfume-y scents and this one seems to have one. It could be a much cleaner, softer scent. Maybe I’ll write Mrs. Benefit and tell her just what I think.

RIP

I lost a dear childhood friend this week. We hadn’t been in touch other than FB in years but shared many fun memories growing up at baseball games, youth group trips and everything that is Sunday School. He had a huge smile and was a laugh out loud fun person to be around growing up. He leaves behind 2 beautiful girls and wife. My heart breaks for this family when I think about his sudden absence. Please pray for this young family today, tomorrow and every time you see a baseball. I'm counting my blessings today and hugging my hubby a little tighter tonight.

The drool worthy pictures above are only a few of the images shared on Edie's home tour as she takes us through her struggles and steps to rebuilding her family's dream home after a tragic fire where she lost so much. You can read about the fire, HERE. I love how Edie's describes her DESIGNER taking her vision and making it a reality.

epic fail, NOLA & horses

I've been doing an unusual amount of online shopping, but nothing is the bom.com once I receive it in the mail! My red pants I ordered were too short so I ordered them in another size and in a longer length. The velour suit I ordered from VS (bc they had free shipping the other night) came in the mail and it was too big and the length was too long...the over the knee riding boots fit me midknee (made my knee look like it had a wedgy) because apparently I have long shins (I'm 5'10). So lots to send back to exchange or return. I'm back on the hunt for the perfect tall riding boot.

I'm trying to figure out what I'm wearing to NOLA for Mal's bachelorette trip in a couple of weeks. I'm thinking my red pants one night and my dressy black shorts with tights the other night. But what top and shoes for my tootsies?!

On another note, I really love this image and wish I could blow it up huge (like really huge) on a canvas somewhere in my house.
