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.

#ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT s #ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT simpler over the years. I’m not looking for 10 different steps. Instead, I want products that are easy to use and easily fit into my everyday routines and @CeraVe has me covered.

Here’s what I’m reaching for lately:

• CeraVe Brightening Vitamin C Cleanser
• CeraVe Super Boost Serum with 3 Essential Ceramides — definitely my favorite step!
• CeraVe Brightening Even Tone Lotion for face + sensitive areas
• CeraVe Skin Renewing Brightening Lotion SPF 30 in the am for sun protection

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that a skincare routine I’ll actually stick with is so much better than a complicated routine that ends up sitting on my bathroom counter collecting dust.

If you’re looking for a simple morning skincare routine for mature skin, skincare for women over 50, brightening skincare, or an easy daily skincare routine, this is a great place to start, and you can pick them all up at @target or on target.com.

Do you keep your morning skincare simple, or are you a 10-step kind of girl?🤔

#ad A little nighttime self-care is one of my favo #ad A little nighttime self-care is one of my favorite ways to unwind at the end of a busy day!
 
Looking after ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated… sometimes it’s just a few little beauty rituals that make us feel our best.
 
Tonight’s nighttime beauty routine featured a few finds from QVC…
 
• Tweezerman Facial Razor & Replacement Blades for a little at-home facial grooming. I like these for removing the peach fuzz so my makeup goes on smoother. Beware, these are sharp!
 
• Beekman 1802 Milk Rx Better Aging Compress Mask (came as part of a trio) to calm and soothe my skin after I did some exfoliating with the razor.
 
• Philosophy Fragrance 3-in-1 Shower Gel & Lotion for a relaxing bubble bath and a little everyday luxury. The Pure Grace scent is clean and refreshing.
 
I love finding beauty and skincare favorites that make my self-care routine feel special, especially when I can find them at a great price and I always feel like I can count on QVC for that.
 
Have you checked out the beauty deals and sales on QVC.com or in the QVC app lately? There are so many fun finds worth browsing! You never know what little beauty treat you might discover and with the holidays coming up, they have great gift options too.

When I found out Beekman 1802 was doing a pop-up e When I found out Beekman 1802 was doing a pop-up experience at my local Ulta Beauty, I immediately added it to my calendar.

They did product demonstrations, skincare education, and mini facials, all focused on the Milk Rx line for better aging. They were handing out samples to attendees, so I brought some home to try.

Such a great experience — the kindest staff. Thank you, @beekman1802 💛🐐💛

Layering season is officially here! I’m wearing so Layering season is officially here! I’m wearing some of my Fall wardrobe staples from @soft_surroundings. I know I can count on them for my everyday basics in every season.

Their lightweight pima cotton turtlenecks are one of my favorite Fall staples and I have a bunch of solids. So glad to see the animal prints this year.
