{Things I Love}

March 2, 2012 Comments : 2

After breaking the bank this past Christmas, I told myself I was going to ban myself from shopping as much as possible. Well, that was a fail…as I should have expected. I can’t survive without spending money. It’s just not me. haha. 🙂 Here are a few things I’ve purchased recently:

Ray Ban Aviators – well, these were technically a Christmas gift…but I picked them out. I LOVE them. I’ve gone through about 4 pairs of cheap aviator sunglasses, so I wanted a nice pair that will hopefully LAST. I’m still afraid that they’ll break by just holding them the wrong way because they seem fragile!
Clarisonic Mia – I’ve heard a lot of good things about the this, but I wasn’t sure if I was ready to commit to the price of it! In fact, I went to the dermatologist first for a consultation about breakouts, and she immediately pushed prescriptions in my face without even really asking about my skincare routine. I wasn’t too crazy about that, but I tried the medicine regimen out for nearly a week before deciding that I didn’t want to put strong antibiotics in my body every day for months at a time. So I ditched the drugs and decided to purchase the Mia. I just started using it this week, but my skin is already noticeably smoother and brighter. The verdict is still out on if it will help get rid of breakouts! 
Murad Live Clear Face Cleansing System – I’ve been using this for a few months, and it does help with breakouts…better than any other products I’ve tried. I still haven’t been able to get RID of breakouts, though, so I’m using the Clarisonic Mia in conjunction with this cleansing system. We’ll see if it works! 
Moroccanoil – I also heard so many good things about this hair treatment that I decided to give it a shot. My hair tends to be dry or frizzy at times, probably because I continually damage it with flat irons and hair dryers! I really like it, and I think it’s helping my hair become healthier and more shiny. It hasn’t been a drastic change, but it does help, nonetheless!
Adrienne Vittadini Penn Ankle Boots – I have been wanting a pair of oxford ankle boots for a while now, and I kept searching in stores and online and couldn’t find what I wanted. I finally came across these Adrienne Vittadini boots on endless.com and I snatched them up because they were sold out everywhere else! I LOVE them. They’re cute, comfortable, and very versatile. I’ve been wearing them with jeans, tights, dresses, etc. Good investment. At least, that’s what I tell myself. 🙂
So, now that you know I epically failed at my “no-shopping” resolution, what have you purchased lately that you love???

Last week to this week ➡ïļ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡ïļ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week ðŸ˜Đ So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn ðŸĨ° Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers âĪïļ

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM ðŸĨģ Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏞 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏞 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💊🏞 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle ðŸĪŠ

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏞 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungryâ€ĶI looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏞 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoonâ€Ķkeeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general ðŸĪĢ Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏞 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel ðŸĪĶ🏞‍♀ïļ
