Discovery Park

Another weekend come and gone—the weeks are flying by here, pretty soon we will be packing up and moving to Arizona, that is right, I said Arizona! Mike and I are going to be relocating to the wonderful dessert :). He is excited about being in the warm weather all year round and I am excited that we will be close to one of my favorite brothers and sister in law!


This weekends events included seeing a pretty lame movie: Prince of Persia (I wanted to laugh the entire time because it was so cheesy), going on a 2.8 mile hike through discovery park with our friends (such beautiful scenery by the coast), dinner at Applebees—yummy riblets, and relaxing.

It is Lauri's 50th birthday today! We are so grateful for her loving support! And wish her the happiest birthday!!

I am excited to see my family in four days! It will be fun to show them around Seattle and eat at some of Mike and my favorite places!!

Little Griffin was such a trooper; this was his first big hike!

Favorite Things

I am a product junkie; I love trying new products that come out and since summer is almost over I thought it would be fun to do a post on some of the products I have loved this summer.

For some reason no matter how many lip glosses I have I can never get enough; it is about as bad as buying the new Stride flavored gum that comes out each month.

When I went into Bath and Body works to replenish my all time favorite scent that I have worn since high school—Sweet Pea—I came across my new favorite shimmery lip gloss: Coconut Vanilla Lipilicious. I hate lip glosses that dry your lips out (usually the ones that have peppermint in them and are sparkly) and I was leery about trying this one out but I am glad I did; it not only tasted like yummy coconut but it kept my lips hydrated and shimmery all day.


Another one of my new favorite lip glosses is Victoria Secrets Brilliant Lip Shine in "Fling".

For some reason I have been obsessed with bubble gum pink lately and I LOVE the way this feels and looks on my lips!

As stated previously, I am usually loyal to one lotion scent—Sweet Pea— but as I was walking through the mall trying to find a new summer scent I wandered into Victoria Secret, and oh boy did I have fun with these delicious smells: Island Waters "Coconut and Pineapple"and "Mango Temptation":


It is so unfortunate that they are limited edition!!! They make you feel like you are on a tropical island. Two of my new favorite perfume scents, also from Victoria Secret, are "Very Sexy," and "Sexy Little Things."

Both body sprays smell, well, as the names say “very sexy” (Mike likes them too).


I love love love my little rose bud earring that I got at Icing a while back—so many different fun colors and perfect to wear with my short hair.



It seems that all mascaras claim to do the same thing and so I have yet to find one that I think is “outstanding,” but I must say I am lovin Cover Girls: Lash Blast Length and Lash Exact.



They don't smudge, and they lengthen and separate so well; they are also easy to remove at night.


I have been loving nail polish lately. I always paint my toes but I have never been into having color on my nails. These are the colors I am loving this summer:

Bright yellow, bubble gum pink, mango, teal, and black, I love black!


I LOVE wearing these colors as well! I love mixing bright yellow with bright pink; teal with pink or yellow, etc., it is so much fun to mix and match things in your wardrobe. What can I say, I love putting outfits together (it is amazing what you can do with what you already have in your wardrobe).



I am loving my summer sandals:



Scarves and all of the wonderful ways you can wear them; okay so I may have always been addicted to scarves but the fun thing about WA is you can wear them all year round!



Of course I am loving all of my hair accessories I have been making and my new summer cuff line!














I hate to admit it but I am addicted to the tanning bed and laying out doors while it has been nice weather; what can I say, it’s the only vitamin D I get!

Last but not least I have been loving our supply of Green Tea, especially the flavors Vanilla Carmel Cappuccino and Coconut (with ice)—yum!

Oh sweet summer, do you have to come to an end????
