Pretty pink packaging

I am not only a sucker from pretty packages, but for great products to add to my beauty routine.

I recently added some new products to my makeup collection.  Yves Saint Laurent has introduced their Touche Eclat Blur Perfectors line and they are a perfect go-tos for a flawless summer look.

Yesterday morning I tried out the new products and it started off my hump day on the right foot.

Starting with a fresh clean face, I applied the Touche Eclat Blur Primer with the unique applicator.  It is clear with a subtle sparkle (that does not make you look like you walked out of a princess party) and felt so clean going on.

I could already see a difference in the look of my skin with just the primer.  I had a more even complexion and was loving it.

The Touche Eclat Blur Perfector was an interesting consistency.  It started out as a balm but felt more like a powder once it was on my skin.  Yves Saint Laurent discusses the 3 ways to use the Perfector online and I choose to put it on as my last beauty step to set my make-up.  It comes with a sponge for application, but I found a brush worked best for me to apply.  It added a simple matte look that created a clean summer look.

I am overall thrilled with the Touche Eclat products and definitely recommend trying out this great line.  The simple summer face is great for pool side parties or beach side porch dinners.

I was graciously received these products through Influenster for review.

Put a ring on it

When searching for a little something special for Valentine’s Day gift this year, I came across a perfect, simple piece for Brandon.  Between his work at the fire station and his early mornings out in the woods, his wedding band spends a lot of time on the ring stand in our room.  Qalo has come out with an easy solution, a silicone wedding band that can safely be worn wherever your day takes you. 

And of course when I picked out Brandon’s I grabbed one for myself.  I can’t wait to wear mine during outdoor event set-ups while I am lugging around boxes and moving tents and tables, you know, the glamorous side of event planning.

Have you heard of Qalo and their mission to empower people to be live their best life possible?!   These are great for gym rats too!

Dinner of Champions

With Brandon's crazy fireman work schedule I find myself eating many meals at home, by myself, on the couch and usually with said “meal” consisting of chips and dip (healthy, I know!).  Oh, but I don't mind, chips and dip are by far my favorite…chips and salsa to be more specific.

Beanitos has come out with a great brand of bean chips.  A twist on the traditional corn tortilla, these gluten-free treats are the perfect go-to snack (or dinner).  Not only are the regular Restaurant Style chips delicious, these bean chips come in a variety of chip and puff flavors.  Definitely delicious!

And while I always enjoy my dinner of dip, I am always on the hunt for something a little more adult and a less dorm-style dish. So what are your go to meals when you are cooking for one?
