Fun Find Friday

Facial Moisturizer.
It's needed, necessary and has to be just the right balance between creamy and light.
I found a perfect match. For me. And I have to share because it could be the perfect match for you too.

I fell for this brand when I randomly grabbed a tube of Yes to Carrots - Lip Butter years ago. Instant love. So, when I ran out of moisturizer a couple weeks ago and was scoping out the natural aisle in the cosmetics department and saw this little gem - Yes to Tomatoes Daily Balancing Moisturizer - I had to give it a shot. So glad I did. 

I love that I know what is in the lotion I'm using and that it is gentle on my skin. You can check a list of the ingredients in all of the Yes to Carrots products right on their site.

Usually, I'm a skeptic when it comes to all the "promises" on labels. I'm not going to lie, I didn't exactly believe this bottle of lotion was going to make my skin more balanced. But now, after about two weeks of using the lotion as part of my morning routine, I can actually see a difference in "spots" that I never thought were going to go away.

If you're looking for a new product to use as your daily moisturizer I totally recommend giving this a try. No SPF, but I'm OK with that this time of year...come summer I may switch it up to one of their other lotions with  the SPF option. For now, I am more than pleased with this sweet find!

Happy Friday!

Until next time,

 

Revived

Ever since we moved into our home my goal has been to hang things on the walls. Make my house a home. It took me 3 1/2 years...but I finally did it! And it feels so good.

 

While I was digging through my crafting closet a few weekends ago, I rediscovered some old frames my mother gave me years ago. I'm pretty sure they were from her crafting closet back in high school or college.

 

 

I never turn down a good frame, because there is always something worthy of being displayed and frames aren't cheap. So, when she asked me if I wanted them I jumped at the chance to add them to my collection of "to be used" craft items. They did sit in my closet for quite some time...years to be exact...but I knew a time would come for their beautiful reviving! So, I grabbed some paint, a brush, a cup of tea and got to it.

 

 

 

It's amazing what a little TLC and some leftover acrylic paint can do to spruce up an old, forgotten piece. I went with black just to keep things clean and uniformed. I already had a black frame in the spot I wanted to add the "new" frame too.

*The top frame is one of my "new" frames!

 

This free craft (I had all the supplies on hand) was just the thing the entrance to my home needed. Three and a half years of having been ignored so terribly, I am pretty pleased with it. And the best part, I still have 2 more frames to bring back to life...I've been searching for a reason to smarten them up! I'll keep you posted! Hope this inspires you all to get your craft on!

 

Until next time,

 

 

 



sup...

just, sup.

 

I'm pretty sure I don't really count as a "blogger" anymore...unless a post a year throws you in the mix??

 

W...for whatevs. I'm going to try to be one, try to "get my groove back". I'm not setting any goals, not making any promises - I'm pretty sure I have tried that before and totally failed. So, I'm just going to "try". Just going to write when I feel like it, isn't that what a blog is for? Or when I find something I think is rad and definitely worth throwing out there.

 

First up - I found myself back on Pinterest the other day after a long needed break. It wore me down, there was too much awesomeness. I didn't feel able or worthy when I looked at the site. Why couldn't I find the time to make all the fun crafts, decorate my home so beautifully, etc.? So, I took a break...it was refreshing.

 

Then, I decided it was time, time to dive back in - and it was. I only allow myself like three looks a week...it sucks. you. in! On my first trip back I discovered this adorable girly, flower headband DIY post. I went for it. With Spring in the air, it was hard to resist...and I had all the supplies at the house to...so super plus. Here's how it turned out. Super cute, super easy, and super cheap.

*If you read the original post this is one made with four flowers, not five. I made one with five and I have to say, I am a fan.

 

After I made it I realized I didn't really have a need for it, another downfall for me when it comes to Pinterest. I find myself making things purely because I think they are cute or stylish. Then they usually end up just sitting in the craft room...blah.

 

There is a baby boom about to happen here though, so I may find a home for this little ditty after all.

 

Anyway, this is one of those projects I thought worthy of sharing. It was easy, cute, and affordable. And everybody knows a little girl who would look absolutely adorable with a little bit of Spring in her hair.

 

Until next time,
