Friday Chit Chat

May 16, 2014

I love to talk.  Sometimes I just can’t help myself and will talk your ear off.  I think part of my problem is that I walk so much that it gives me LOTS of time to just think.  I problem solve while walking.  I plan while walking.  I reminisce while walking.  You name it.  It just clears my mind.  So here’s some of the random stuff I’ve been thinking about:

1.  Yesterday was my mom’s birthday.  I think about her every day since she’s been gone and always wonder if special days will be harder than others.  Quite frankly, I think I acknowledged the day yesterday but really didn’t let it overwhelm me.  Tomorrow my daughters and I will participate in another 5K for melanoma research.  These help us to honor her memory and raise money for research and awareness.

My gorgeous mama.  Look at that skin!  She was 68 years old in this picture.
2.  I met with a blog consultant this week and she’s helping me to figure out what I can do to make my blog even better.  I thoroughly enjoy everything about blogging and want to make my blog the best that it can be.  This will include a more regular posting schedule.  I think I’m going to try to start with Monday, Wednesday, Friday posts along with my Silent Sunday post.  We’ll see how it goes.  If you ever have a request for a review or topic that you’d like to see please don’t hesitate to ask.



This is the blog planner that I bought on Amazon.  It looks GREAT!  The only problem is that it doesn’t start until July.  Haha!  I guess I’ll just use my regular calendar for now.


3.  Do you ever get something done and wonder if maybe you shouldn’t have done it?  I’m referring to a haircut or a facial and things like that.  I had some of the sebaceous hyperplasia’s “burned” off my face at the dermatologist this past Monday.  They’re currently not looking too good.  I kinda wish I hadn’t had this done.  Maybe I just should have lived with the small bumps on my face.  Maybe they weren’t that bad after all.  I’ll update on this one in a few days.

4.  I think I’m going to donate my hair!  Yes, I think I’m putting this one on my bucket list.  I’ve been growing my hair out for several months and and it just sort of dawned on me a few weeks ago that I should maybe continue to grow it a few more inches and then donate it to a charity that makes wigs for cancer patients and others.  I’ll keep you updated on this one as well.  I just need to find out all of the requirements.

Well, that’s it for my chit chat today.  I hope everyone is doing well.  Have a fabulous weekend!!

    Your mom was gorgeous! Don’t stress about your procedure. Skin is incredibly healing. I do deep peels on myself and have some scary looking down time with them but they are always worth it. If you have emu oil you can use that to help heal up your skin too. You hair is to die for and would make a fabulous wig for someone who needs it!

    Stacie – you are healing and yet still remembering. This is good. I can’t tell you how much it touched me that you are thinking of donating your hair. xoxo Elle

    Oh, your Mom’s birthday is so close to Mother’s Day. Those days are hard enough, but so close together. I miss my Mama every day. I hope all is well with your spots on your face. Keep us posted! Enjoy the rest of your weekend also!

Some handbags are just handbags… and then there ar Some handbags are just handbags… and then there are the ones that feel like a piece of art. #consuela_partner 

I’m loving the Bae City Bag from Consuela! It’s a fun statement piece, but it’s also incredibly versatile. I especially love wearing it crossbody when I want to be hands-free.

And knowing this bag is handcrafted in Mexico with attention given to every detail makes it feel even more special. Every @ConsuelaStyle bag has so much personality and character. 

If you’re already thinking about your Fall wardrobe, you definitely want to take a peek at the Consuela Fall Collection. There are SO many gorgeous bags and accessories to choose from that are fun and functional.

Go check out the collection and tell me which bag is your favorite!

I’ve been using the NEW RoC Line Smoothing 2-Step Peel Pads, and I love how simple they are to use.
 
Step 1 gently exfoliates with a blend of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and other exfoliating acids to remove dull, rough skin.
 
Step 2 follows with RoC’s patented Clinical Retinol plus Ectoin to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting your skin barrier. The best part? It takes just a couple of minutes and fits seamlessly into my evening skincare routine.
 
At 61, my skin feels noticeably smoother and looks brighter after using them, and with continued use they’re designed to improve texture, uneven tone, dullness, and the appearance of wrinkles.
 
At around $30 they’re an affordable way to enjoy a professional-inspired peel at home.
 
Are you as excited as I am about this new at-home dual-step treatment?

There’s something about a makeup collection that’s There’s something about a makeup collection that’s beautiful on the outside AND has a beautiful story behind it.

I’m playing with the Chantecaille Lion Collection for the first time today. The gorgeous shades are inspired by the strength and beauty of the lion and the colors of the African landscape.

But what I love most about Chantecaille is that their love of beauty goes beyond makeup. The brand has a long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation, and their lion initiatives supports Lion Guardians and their efforts to protect these magnificent endangered animals and preserve the communities that live alongside them.

And can we talk about these colors?! The warm, earthy tones are absolutely gorgeous for creating a soft, sophisticated makeup look — and yes, it’s a limited-edition collection but I’m already wishing these shades would stay around forever!

Would you wear this color story? Tell me in the comments.
