Lately: October

Listening:

The new One Republic on repeat, at work, at home, in the car, cannot get enough.

I might have already looked up tour dates for this album [don't get too excited, only LA and NYC have been announced.] I am a lyric geek and this album kills it.

My Top 5: Choke, Fingertips, Heaven, Let's Hurt Tonight, Human.

Watching:
Where do I begin? Fall TV is back and it is glorious.
Here's my current Hulu watchlist: American Housewife, Chicago Fire, Notorious, This is Us, Lucifer, Timeless, Scream Queens, Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After?, Designated Survivor.

Reading:

Big Little Lies- Liane Moriarty
Sara read Liane's library of books last year and loved them.
Reese Witherspoon is producing the HBO miniseries version of Big Little Lies set to premiere next year and I am pumped.

Wearing:
If you know me at all, you know I'm a mascara junkie. I am that girl that at times has had three mascaras in her makeup bag to get the perfect lashes. My current tube dried out right before a client meeting last week so it was an emergency run to Target. The makeup gods were on my side because I found the greatest mascara ever:  L'Oreal Voluminous Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara.
[all the praise hands]

Loving:
Last week She Reads Truth announced the Advent 2016 study and I absolutely cannot wait for mine to arrive. The girls then one-up'd themselves by releasing The Beatitudes study leading up to Thanksgiving! Right now if you order both you get 20%.
These are studies you'll use over and over!

Celebrating:

Dad's birthday is this weekend!!!
Joe and I might have a surprise up our sleeves [or should I say jerseys.]

Traveling:

Tuesday-Thursday the Sun Tan City team road tripped to Louisville for planning meetings and some fun downtown. You know the client dinner was a success when dessert's a cotton candy horse mane. Only in Kentucky...

"This purse eats things, I swear."

   So please excuse the lack of creativity behind this week's 10 Things. You know all those side effects they list off on those prescription drug commericals, well they're real. Spent the weekend enjoying the laundry list of side effects from one of my prescriptions and Monday waiting to hear back from the doctor about what to do/change. So while sitting on the couch waaaaaaiting for the phone to ring trying to come up with things to post on, I realized it was sitting right next to me. No, not Sophie. My purse. Taking some inspiration from my blog header, I threw my purse on the floor ran that through Instagram, duh and wah-la..

10 [maybe 12] Things...in my purse working from the top down

1. Lilly Pulitzer planner would DIE without it

2. Coach wristlet that thing survived 4 years of college, tride and true

3. Tili travel bag best thing Birch Box ever sent me

4. Target "To Call" notepad great for any last minute notes, or leaving notes on neighbors' cars who continue to park in front of your driveway

5 Checkbook wallet my "mom" wallet, got it in Paris with dad the day I got my first Longchamp

6 Orbit Wintermint

7. Coach Poppy rollerball fits my purse and budget better than the full size bottle

8. Vera Bradley eye glass case [and glasses]

 9. Ovesized hair clip never know when you're gonna need one of these till you don't have one

10. EOS products: handlotion and "eggs" technically three, but they're that good

11. Target "Raybans" for $11 I do not mind throwing these in my purse

12. L'oreal Paris colour riche balm the best

Next week's post will be much better, scout's honor yeah, I was never a girl scout. Have you ever seen me in nature?. And all you ADV 490 kids reading, this is what it looks like when you don't plan out your posts ahead of time..



"Am I wearing lipstick?"

    If I had a nickel for everytime mom asked me this I could buy her Revlon. No, not the color stay display at Target but like the company. Momma's lipstick obsession stems from her momma, the always fabulous Betty Jane, and has turned into our little joke and now my inspiration for this week's 10 things. As a girl with an affinity for mascara I've run the gamet with finding the perfect and affordable mascara. And as a young person who has also run the gamet with breakouts I have tried every foundation/tinted mouisterizer/supposed miracle product out there. I am also a proud member of Monogramholics Not Annoynmous and do you know how many monogram/color combinatins they have for make-up bags? So this week I open up my monogrammed make-up bag to the blogosphere and share with you,

10 things...in my make-up bag

1. Maybelline New York Expert Eyes Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover doesn't dry out your under eye skin and actually gets the waterproof mascaras off

2. L'oreal Paris Magin Skin Beautifier B.B. Cream make sure you get a shade lighter than you usually wear, even the light is dark, but it works/covers like a charm

3. Almay Brown Eyes Eyeshadow kit the rare ocassion I do wear eyeshadow, I can't do the smokey eye without looking Asian

4. L'oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara AMAZE. AMAZE. AMAZE. that is all

5. L'oreal Paris true match powder W3 nude beige swear by this line. weekends I just brush this on quick, no foundation

6. L'oreal Paris true match blush W3-4 barely blushing again love this line, your skin tone line really does match across the board with L'oreal. 

7. Almay Intense i Color eyeliner 04 Raisin Quartz see eyeshadow comment

8. Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB Beauty Balm first BB cream I tried, it's great if you don't have any problem spots, great for weekends/light coverage

9. EOS pink egg Strawberry EOS, enough said

10. L'oreal Paris Colour Riche Balm Plush Plum the perfect "lipstick" for a 22 year old, great color for fall
