These are a few of my favorite things

The sunny weather put me in the mood for a light-hearted post. Therefore, I decided I would share a random list of of my favorite things. They happen to be things that go on my body!

Hair
Moroccan Oil- It makes my hair so silky smooth and it smells amazing! Next, I am going to try their curl defining mousse.

Chi- I am sure every gal has heard of the Chi. This thing only takes one swipe and boom, my hair is straight! In combination with the Moroccan oil, I have less crazy hair days! Thanks Momma Riley for the Christmas present!

Face




Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara- It makes my lashes look long and full. I have also heard that the purple tube is even better than this. I still have a few more left because Costco had an amazing coupon. I think I got 9 tubes for less than $20.

Philosophy Blush/Bronzer Compact- This has brought summer to my face during the sad, pale winter months. It also is great for sensitive skin!

Purpose Intensive Daily Moisturizer with SPF -My Dermatologist recommended this to me. My skin used to get crazy dry in the winter but, no more! It is light, cheap, and has SPF

Gold Bond Ultimate Healing lotion- This lotion feels so good to me. I happen to like body lotions that are a little thicker because my skin can get quite dry and it is sensitive.

Blistex Daily Conditioning Treatment with SPF 20- I am a chapstick and SPF freak. This is one chapstick that has a good amount of SPF that does not taste disgusting or leave a nasty feeling on your lips. I can often only find this at drugstores.

G.U.M Soft Picks-I know this is a random pick, (pun!), but these things are great! I am not the biggest fan of flossing, but these little guys make it much easier. Also, they come with a little travel case!

Accessories



Madden Girl Snappy Boots- It took me two years to find a pair of boots that I like. TWO years! Then, my lovely puppies decided to turn one of them into a peep-toe boot. I don't think I have ever been as angry as when I found that boot in the back yard (sad, I know). My amazing husband bought me another pair. He has my heart for many reasons. I have found two more pairs of boots since then!

Express Cargo Jacket- This was a recent treat to myself. It was a slight splurge, but I had a coupon. I would say at least 50% of our clothes come from Express because they are one of the only stores that actually fit well and they give out coupons.

Side purse- Also called a crossbody bag, shoulder bag, you get the point! I bought one of these because my chiropractor said I needed a smaller purse. Along with that, I started graduate school and needed less things to hold while making my trek to class! Now, I can do anything while wearing this style of purse and it has especially come in handy while grocery shopping and on photo shoots.

As silly as it seems, each one of these brightens my day in some way! I am sure I could come up with more, but these came to mind! Do you have any products that you recommend?

Now I am off to enjoy the sunshine with my gal pal Crystal and her little guy Peyton! I hope you enjoy this absolutely beautiful weekend.
