My Life in May 2018

Hello Everyone!

It's time for another monthly lifestyle! I wanted to get more posts up this month, but life happens. Between being busy and dealing with continuous allergy issues before I knew the end of the month was here! Well praying for June to be different (not that May was terrible). My long overdue makeup haul is coming (see my Instagram for a few sneak peaks). I'm actually working on that and other upcoming posts. Well enough of rambling and let's get started with today's post!

Selfies

It was hot and humid the day I took this picture, so I'm only wearing lipstick

I made the flower headband I'm wearing. I wanted to switch things up when I made this headband.

Classic red lipstick

Mother's Day 2018

All for the gifts for the

wonderful woman I call mama :)

No amount of gifts can ever show I much I love and appreciate my mama. She was so surprised and love her gifts. She enjoyed her Mother's Day.

Foods

When I don't feel like making a homemade pot pie, I'm glad KFC has pot pies.

Krispy Kreme

I was told my glazed donuts were hot. Obviously they were NOT hot (or the other two donuts)

I haven't had Fazoli's until recently. The baked spaghetti I had was pretty good. I typically like to cook my own food, but this month I ate out a little more since I haven't been feeling well from allergies.

Loaded baked potato with chives

This dish is similar to the baked italian chicken dish that I make. This dish is italian baked boneless pork chops, broccoli au gratin rice and peas.

Miscellaneous

OUCH!! This is how I started off the first day of May. I hurt my hand and my wrist so I had to wear (and still wear from to time) a brace.

Beautiful days in Sunny South Carolina

Another local Bath & Body Works . I just went into the store to browse the new collections.

Coming soon. My new vanity. It's already assembled. I just need to get everything in order. Look for that post in the upcoming months.

New Foundation lol

A mini haul. I'm unsure if I'm going to the SAS since I don't need anymore candles, but I would like to check out the body care items.

Zoya Kisses Collection

Zoya Kisses Collection

Hello Everyone!

* Disclaimer: This post contains PR Samples provided Zoya Nail Polish for review purposes. I would like to thank Zoya Nail Polish for sending these products. All opinions are 100% my own.

What better way to embrace the beauty of Springtime than with spring inspired manicures? Today I wanted to share Zoya Kisses Collection. These pastel jellies are perfect to wear for the season!

Vickie and Libby

I think that Zoya did an amazing job with choosing the colors for this collection. I love all the colors! Even though pink is my favorite color, Leia is definitely my favorite polish from the Kisses Collection. Leia is a topper, but it can also be worn alone. I get so many compliments when I wear Leia! These are jellies, so the formula of the polish feels a little thicker than a regular polish. I'm not new to wearing jelly polishes from Zoya, and the wear time is pretty good. I didn't notice any chipping until the 5th or 6th day with the polishes.

Zoya has a lot of nice collections on their site, including Sunshine Collection (Summer 2018)

My Life in April 2018

Hello Everyone!

Today's post is a combination of monthly lifestyle, out and about, and an update. I know that it's been a little over a month since my last post, but I decided to take a break off of my blog. Last month was filled with a lot of allergy and sinus issues, but I'm pushing through.
I'm still taking a break, but I have plenty of upcoming posts! Talk with you all soon!

Easter 2018

I'll have a makeup tutorial on this look later in the month

Foods

Easter Dinner: Boneless Pork Chop, Black Eyed Peas and Rice, Mac and Cheese, with Cornbread

Homemade Meatball Rotini Bake with Homemade Garlic Bread

Out and About

Such a beautiful display!

Love this Bestey Johnson Purse and Wallet!

Fizz and Bubble Bath Bombs!

South Carolina has such beautiful Sunny Days! I went to the mall to make a few candle exchanges and get a Mother's Day gift for my mom.

No explanation needed lol

This is the first time that I've seen these Magic in the Air Candles in B&BW. I wasn't sold on the scent in candle form, but I still love the body care items in tbis scent!
