What Am I Reading? – May 2014

May 20, 2014

I always have such high hopes that I’m going to relax with a good book.  My intentions are always good, however everything else in my life seems to get in the way.  Not in a bad way.  I’m just not very good at unplugging from technology long enough to enjoy a good book.  But that doesn’t stop me from trying!  I’ve bought a few books in the past few months.  Here are the ones I’ve chosen:

Books I'm Reading - May

Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand*

I just saw this one at Walmart while strolling through the aisles.  It looked like an interesting story and had a “special price” sticker of only $8.  I also figured that if I hold an actual book in my hand rather than a digital version I might be able to stay unplugged.  I haven’t started this book yet.

Came Back Early Today by Marie Marley, PhD
A Memoir of Love, Alzheimer’s and Joy
I actually have no idea how I ended up purchasing this book on Amazon.  I always enjoy reading non-fiction books and this one caught my attention.  I’ve actually read a few chapters of this book now and it’s pretty interesting.

From the Moment We Met by Marina Adair*
I think I downloaded this book for free as part of the Amazon Prime membership program.  They recently sent me an email with a choice of four books to download for free.  Can’t beat that as a perk.  I actually have no idea what the book’s about.  Looks life a romance novel, huh?
I also purchased a few books on the topic of blogging.  I still strive to make my blog a place that readers will come to visit, make themselves at home, and return to over and over.
What are you reading?  Let me know in the comments below.

I did a thing… I joined Limelife by Alcone as a B I did a thing…

I joined Limelife by Alcone as a Beauty Guide because I love their products so much! This cream foundation is used by women everywhere, including makeup artists for the big screen, stage, weddings and more.
 
It’s highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way.  The shades are inclusive, from the lightest skin tones to the darkest. There’s a perfect match for everyone.

There are different ways to apply it. Use your fingers, a brush or a beauty sponge. I used the hydrating spray mist which helps give the skin an instant glow.

I will share more of their makeup and products with you soon. 

Have you tried any Limelife makeup or skincare products? Let me know if you want to!

I’m happy to send you a LINK with 10% off!🤩

Filmed a quick outfit of the day before my mother- Filmed a quick outfit of the day before my mother-in-law could see that I had my shoes on her white carpet.😅

Today will be a travel day. Heading home and feeling so grateful for everything in my life including the people and the incredible opportunities that have come my way.

Have a great weekend friends!💖

Today’s outfit is white cropped pants (longer on me at just 5’1”, but so perfect for us petite ladies who want to avoid alterations). Paired with the most flattering v-neck,  a pair of black slides and the most fabulous heart pendant necklace. Let me know if you want LINKS.

Said yes to the trip.🙌🏻 Yes to the opportunity.🙌🏻 Said yes to the trip.🙌🏻

Yes to the opportunity.🙌🏻

Yes to the version of me that’s ready for more.🙌🏻

Because every flight booked is a chance to grow, explore, and step into something new. The outfit just comes along for the ride (and even better when it’s cute and takes you from travel to dinner).🙌🏻

Here’s your sign to stop waiting and start going. 

Where are you saying yes to next?

Just unboxed my Ryder hoodie from Seas and I’m kind of in love with the hot pink and the gorgeous embroidery. It’s super cozy, easy to throw on, and adds the perfect pop of color.💖

If you’ve been looking for something comfortable for cool mornings or evenings, this one’s definitely worth checking out. 

Let me know of you want DETAILS on how to get one too!
