1. A co-worker (thanks Bettina!) of mine had this lip gloss on the other day and it looked great on her so she gave me the name and I immediately went to target to grab it (I love lip gloss.. and have tried so many - I might do a blog post on all of those I have tried and review the ones I like and didn't like - would there be any interest in this?). Anyways, I was super impressed with the quality of this inexpensive gloss. I think I paid a little under $4 for it. It applies super smooth and glossy unlike the matte finish. Personally I am not a fan of the matte finish glosses - they leave my lips dry and cracked - almost chalk-like. I definitely prefer the glossy finish and this gloss gives that with a little hint of color. I went with the cherry flavor which leaves a reddish tint on your lips but there are several other flavors/colors to choose from. Worth the purchase!!
2. My mother and father in law were in town this weekend and brought us the most delicious tomatoes (thank you Mimi and Grandpa!) from the farm. I have been enjoying making fresh mater sandwiches for lunch!
3. A blogger I follow (@styledsnapshots) posted a video of one of her go-to quick and healthy dinner recipes a few weeks ago and I am excited to try it tonight. Most of the time by the time Adam and I get home from work we are hustling to get supper prepped so we can all eat together and have time to play with Norah before bath and bed. For this dinner recipe all you have to do is throw the riced cauliflower in a pan on the stove as well as the tempura cauliflower and saute both. Then place the broccoli in the oven to roast. Once all done, serve together and you have a great meal. I will be sure to update you as to how it turns out but I bet its delicious. You could also add a meat (chicken or chicken sausages if you prefer to have a meat at dinnertime). Interested to see how my meat loving husband does with this non meat dish ;). Love you babe!
4. I've heard about the Quay brand sunglasses from the blogger community for awhile now and then I saw my sister- in-law, Lauren, wear this brand a few months ago and wanted to try them out. I am typically a gal who doesn't splurge on sunglasses because I am usually hard on them, meaning I drop them a lot, misplace them, and scratch them up. However, I got tired of going to target every few months for a new pair because mine had broken. These glasses were about $60 and I love them! More sturdy than your typical under $15 dollar brand from target, old navy, etc but still not too expensive to break the bank. They sit nicely on the face and don't fall off when bending down to grab something or looking down to see/read something. That is one of my biggest pet peeves - I do not glasses that fall down the face onto the nose. Luckily these don't do that! Also, it's important to day that there are many different styles and colors so there is a pair for everyone. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the market for a nice pair of sunglasses that don't break the bank.
5. I'll finish this edition of "What I'm Loving Tuesday" with this rug from target. It's actually 2 rugs (both from target) but I got the one you see on top last night. I am into rug layering these days (even though my hubby thinks it's silly). I love the way it gives dimension to the space and I also love the way you can really play with the patterns and colors. If you're interested, let me know, and I can post the link.
And finally a picture of half of the completed laundry (that still needs to be put away) - just in case you thought it was all fun and games over here.... :)
Hope everyone is having a lovely Tuesday! It is currently raining, which is supposed to bring cooler temps to the area. Hallelujah!!!!
