Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats

Happy Thursday, friends and Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you all! I’m sharing a quick, colorful, and perfectly festive treat that I made for my family to enjoy on this day. If you love traditional Rice Krispie treats, then you’ll LOVE this little twist on the classic using Lucky Charms cereal as a substitute for the Rice Krispies cereal! This recipe is super easy to throw together and tastes great using all kinds of cereal varieties …its fun to experiment with them all. The best thing is this only requires three ingredients and only about 5 minutes to mix together, with another 5 minutes to pour and press into the pan! A simple 10 minute, 3 ingredient treat? Yes, Please! This really couldn’t get any easier or delicious 🙂 [Read more…]

Modern White Desks

Modern white desks are extremely popular right now and look very glamorous in a home. As I flipped through the pages of the new Spring 2016 ZGallerie catalog, I was in awe of this beautifully modern and chic white desk with gold detail on the base! Its gorgeous, right?! This makes such a statement!

I have had my eye on some sort of modern and practical white desk since we made our formal dining room (which by the way we have never used as a dining room haha!) into a play space for our little Jacob. In that play space, I’m incorporating a designated workspace that’s all mine! While the Sydney Desk is gorgeous and I adore it, I want something just a little more understated to fit the overall design of the playroom.

I am really loving the modern simplicity of the Josephine Desk. The large drawer is great for tucking away supplies and the X legs make it feel modern. I will be able to make it fancy with fabulous desk accessories 🙂 I have not quite made up my mind on which desk I will go with, but I have been searching for quite some time now and wanted to share some options for modern white desks for any of you that may be on the hunt as well! This roundup has stylish white desks with various metal details at the bases, as well as some desk accessories that pair nicely with each of them. Some desk options are very ornate, while others are more simple. All are equally pretty! Enjoy! [Read more…]

Recent Beauty Buys

Lots of beauty related things have been on my mind lately! Last weekend, I had a chance to grab some of them at Ulta, Sephora, and The Vitamin Shoppe. After I’ve been using them for a few weeks, it’ll be interesting to see which ones make it into the ultimate list of products I’m loving lately. For any beauty product lover, its always interesting to see what others are shopping for at the moment so we can each add more and more to our lists haha! Some items I have already gotten around to using this week, while others… not so much just yet! I will hopefully get to all of them soon. Keep reading for some of my recent beauty buys!

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water

I got the one with the pink top. The blue one removes waterproof makeup as well, so it needs to be shaken up before use, much like many eye makeup removers. Micellar waters are all the rage lately and this particular one was on my radar! Micelles act as a magnet to remove makeup with minimal tugging on skin. I wanted to try something different for removing makeup and I have started using this stuff already. So far, SO good! It is really refreshing and gentle. It really reminds me of the packaging on Bioderma!

Smith’s Rosebud Salve

I don’t know why its taken me THIS LONG to try this stuff but we all know its a true cult-favorite! I picked it up on a recent Sephora run and I actually couldn’t wait and I opened it in the car! Its really, really good! I see what all the hype has been about! What I love most is it is a multi-purpose balm: helps diaper rash, lip balm, soothes dry and irritated skin on the body, soothes burns, good for cuticles, fly-aways and more. It smells great, like roses. Win, win! [Read more…]

Currently February 2016

Happy Wednesday, friends! For the New Year, one new thing that I will be taking part of is joining some linkups… and I’m SO excited about it! Today will be my very first “Currently” monthly linkup post! This particular one is fun because it gives a little glimpse into the more personal side of the blogger posting to the prompts. It is a time to share a few little things that we all may not normally share. It’s also neat to see how others involved interpret the prompts because each prompt evokes different emotions and thoughts for each person participating. Keep reading to find out what I am currently sending, eating, dreaming, smelling, and hearting! [Read more…]
