My Favorite Things

I always love reading posts about people’s favorite things. I’ve gotten some amazing product recommendations from posts like these and have been inspired with new ideas. Today I thought I would share some of the things my family and I are loving right now!

Favorite Things for Me

I’ve always been one to shy away from bright shades of lipstick but love how they look on other people. I finally took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and bought my first bright red lipstick at Target and I LOVE it! The color I’m wearing is Red Revival from Maybelline.

Old Navy Rockstar Skinny Jeans

These jeans are amazing. They are flattering, stylish and are the most comfortable pair of jeans I have ever owned. What more could you want?

Sock Buns

After reading Katie’s post about summer hair styles I immediately watched a YouTube tutorial on how to do a sock bun. I can not believe how easy sock buns are! This has quickly become my hair style of choice this summer. I like to wear mine a little messy but you can easily make the bun a little neater by adding a couple of bobby pins for a smoother look.

Favorite Things For My Family

Date Nights With My Husband

I can’t tell you how much fun we have had. We usually go out to dinner but we have gone on a couple of double dates and even have a long weekend trip away planned soon.  This is definitely something we will be keeping up long after the year is over!

GoGo Squeeze Applesauce

My boys love this stuff. I love it because it is the easiest snack ever. All you have to do is twist the lid off and hand it to your kid. Bonus-it is super healthy, all while being really yummy. Double Bonus-you can buy them for dirt cheap at Costco.

BLAT Lettuce Wraps

This is seriously the most delicious thing I’ve made recently. This is a Fresh 20 meal and is so tasty and yummy I’ve made it twice in less than a week!

2 avocados diced

2 tomatoes diced

12 strips of bacon (center cut) cooked and crumbled

salt and pepper to taste

1 TBSP olive oil

1/4 of a red onion (I left this out as I don’t like onion and it was still delicious)

juice from 1 lime

Mix together and serve in lettuce leaves.

What are some of your favorite things right now?

Please note that I was not paid  by any of the companies mentioned in this post. I just really love them and their products and wanted to share them with you.
