Friday Favorites!!

Hi!!! Happy Friday! 
How was your week?? 
My girls are off school Today and on Monday- and I have several, fun Easter activities for us to do over the next few days! And the best news of all- our weather here in Indianapolis looks gorgeous on Easter Sunday! I am SO excited to have our Easter egg hunt out in our backyard :)

 It's time to share some of FAVORITES from this past week...here's what I 've got!

ONE
I would have to say I have not had many cravings during this pregnancy. There were definitely a few times, when I was in my first trimester where I could only fathom eating ONE CERTAIN thing- but after I was done being sick- that went away. Well...never say never because I have been on a peanut butter and jelly kick for the last week and I don't think it is going anywhere anytime soon! HA! PB + J on toast has become my new FAVORITE thing to eat. It is just. SO. GOOD. (And simple and not time consuming/exhausting to make- all very important things to this VERY pregnant momma :)
Please tell me I know not the only one obsessed with a good ol' fashioned PB + J??

In reading my "usual" blogs, I stumbled across a blog I had never read before. I was intrigued by the title of the most recent post, "The Best Drugstore Blushes" and proceeded to click on over to Meg O. on the Go's Blog. UM. I LOVE this blog! Meg posts about being a mom to two, young sweet little girls as well as her favorite beauty obsessions and finds. Being a total makeup junkie (on a tight budget) I absolutely loved reading her posts about: The Best Cheap Makeup, Drugstore Makeup Dupes and her most recent post about The Best Drugstore Blushes! If you are not already reading Meg's blog, definitely go check it out- it is one of my new FAVORITE blogs to read!

So after reading Meg's post about the best drugstore blushes- I immediately went searching for her favorite blush. It is by a brand called Milani (I have heard of Milani before- but not overly familiar with it) and it is a baked powder blush. Meg specifically recommended the color Luminoso. Walmart and Target carry it online ONLY- but they are sold out of the color Meg highly recommends. So- then I checked Walgreens- and while they have it online- they don't carry it in the stores. Ladies- this stuff has amazing ratings and it is hard to come by- HA! I finally purchased it on Amazon prime- you can get it here! And the verdict is: I LOVE IT! I was worried about the color of it- I thought it might be too orangey/peach for me- but it is NOT. It is SO pretty, so illuminating and as almost all the reviews say- it looks great on everyone!! If you are needing a new blush or just want to try this one out- DO IT! I have found my new FAVORITE blush and I am pretty excited about it! :)

I have met so many fun, wonderful women since I started this little blog last January. Two of my FAVORITE friends and bloggers are: Leigh at Balancing By Faith and Erica at The Second House on the Right. A couple months ago, we started hosting a monthly link-up where we share "inspirations" we have gotten from Pinterest. We call it "Pinspiration Wednesday!" Each month is a new theme and it is so fun to see what everyone has been "Pinspired" by! 
So- our next link-up will be Wednesday, April 6 and the theme is: "Favorite Spring "Look" or Outfit! I am really looking forward to seeing what everyone is loving as far as spring outfits go- because I am going to need all the inspiration I can get once this baby arrives and I have to venture outside the realms of stretchy yoga pants and tunic tops! HA!
Mark your calendars and plan on joining us for our next "Pinspiration Wednesday"- we would love to have you link up with us!! :)

EASTER.  

SO looking forward to celebrating the most important day of the year in our Church with my family!
I love Christmas- but Easter is definitely my FAVORITE holiday. 
However you choose to celebrate Easter this weekend, I hope you are surrounded by the people who are most important to you and your day is filled with much LOVE!

Hope you have the BEST day and Happy EASTER!

  7. Oh isn't Milani the best? I recently bought several things off their website, including the luminoso blush. It is definitely my favorite. I also bought one of their everyday eye shadow palletes and a liquid lipstick. Both are awesome.

  9. That blush is beautiful!! I'll have to remember that the next time I need blush. I ate PB&Js twice this week! Must be something about that salty/sweet combo that sounds delicious. Doesn't hurt that it's super easy to whip up. Win=win! Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend :)

  10. Thank you SO MUCH for you sweet shout out. You seriously made my day! I am so happy you love my blog... and I am really happy you are loving Luminoso! It's my favorite drugstore blush ever! :) It stinks that Milani is a little more difficult to find, but I ALWAYS find it at CVS... in case you want to go back and buy more!! Anyway, seriously, thank you so much!
