Well, well, well... here we are again! Welcome back my dears :)
Happy Friday!
Friday Favorites
ONE
My ultimate favorite??? A clean home!!! Anyone else?
I love to walk in the door and have a clean home. Nothing on the floor, and the countertops aren't cluttered with old dishes that we haven't cleaned yet...
That being said, sometimes it's inevitable that your home will not be as clean as you like it... {uh hmmm.. boys. I'm looking at you!} So, I'm learning to embrace a messy home. Why? Because that means you have the ones you love around you to make the mess :)
But, it still doesn't take away the fact that I'd love it to be clean! So, the new rule that we've been following for the past month is that we have to have the kitchen clean before we leave to go anywhere, and before we go to bed. That way, you always wake up and come home to a clean house. And let me tell you, it's been working!
So I encourage you to put something like this in place for your home! It doesn't take long to clean up when everyone's helping, and there's a lot less stress when the first thing you're seeing ISN'T a dirty home :)
Happy cleaning!

Have any of y'all been watching Duck Dynasty, and Jep & Jessica??
I seriously cannot get enough of these shows.
Somethin' about this family just makes me wanna be friends with them :)
The mama's in the show just seem so real, you can see their everyday struggles with their kids, and they're doing it all themselves! They love Jesus, and love their family, and that's why I wanna be friends with them!
Love. And I love that they pray before they end every show. With such a large platform, I love that they use that to get the word out about Jesus!
Plus, they're hilarious.

So I mentioned last week to y'all about the Dose of Colors liquid lips...
LOVE. Cannot get enough of them. So I decided to be prepared for summer {because that's the responsible thing to do, right?? ;) } and I picked up 3 more colors....
I mean, what's a girl to do?? These are so comfortable, they have beautiful colors, they don't move from your lips, and they really don't ever need to be reapplied.
Have I convinced you yet? No? Well, let me just say, no more reapplying your lipstick, no more lipstick on the teeth, no more lipstick smudges on your hubby {even though I think it's cute on him, he doesn't like it quite as much}, and you hardly have to think about the color moving or fading.
Am I sponsored by them? Absolutely not. Did I pay for these with my own money? Absolutely I did. I just don't want y'all to miss out on amazing products just because you aren't 100% convinced. I urge you to pick at least one color {maybe one you could see yourself wearing everyday} and watch the easiness of it change your day!
Treat yourself ladies :)
I now have Stone, Bare with Me, Coral Crush, Pinky Promise, and Merlot.
{Stone}
{Bare with Me}
{Coral Crush}
{Pinky Promise}
{Merlot}
The colors that I would think could be an everyday color for most women would be Stone, Bare with Me, and Truffle {I don't have that one}. I have heard that Stone is better for cool skin tones { if your veins show up blue} and Truffle is better for warm skin tones {if your veins show up green}. Bare with Me is a perfect everyday nude. But honestly, I love all the colors. And I know you won't be disappointed. Have some fun with a new lippie :)
I will be doing a review on these on YouTube, so keep an eye out for that video if you want swatches and a full review!

These Kirkland rugs... Don't you love it?!
Our color scheme for our home is Dark browns, deep red, and mustard. It sounds a little odd, but it's very calming and soothing colors. For the Spring and summer, we add in green and white. For the Fall and winter time, we add in orange and deep greens.
So this rug goes great. And it's only about $7. So I got 2 and put one down in front of my sink, and one down right when you walk in the front door. I love the pop of color, and these could honestly go with so many color schemes!
And Coley likes it too ;)
FIVE
My last favorite???
Easter
Candy.
Stop it more.
I love the Cadbury Creme Eggs, The Robins Eggs, and The Reese's Eggs.
Any one else with me on these? Sorry if I just made your tummy growl ;)
Guess you'll need to make a trip to the store!
Speaking of food, don't miss out on the recipes I shared for you this week!

Have a wonderful weekend, y'all. See you back here on Monday for some Makeup Monday action!















Love your new rug! And I love Easter candy so I'm trying to stay away from it when I go to the store. If I buy it early I will eat it early so for now it's a no-no. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHa! I feel the same, Cat! Trying so hard to stay away from it! Have a good one :)
DeleteI need to try out those Dose of Color lips!!! And I love your mantra on a clean home!! I feel the same way

Yes, you totally do! You'll love them! Nothin' better than a clean home as the first thing you see :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYes, yes, yes to all the Easter candy!!!!! And I am with ya on having a clean house. I have to have my kitchen and living room picked up and decluttered.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's how I am too! Especially the kitchen. I cannot stand dirty counters! Have a great weekend :)
DeleteI am in love with your cute doggy!!! The rug looks great and I totally agree about a clean house and clean kitchen. I'm going to implement the "no going anywhere until it's clean" rule. Hoping it works with my teenagers. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! He sure is a sweetheart! Yes, try the rule! It ends up being so much less stressful when you come home! Which makes it all worth it. Hope you guys have a great one, too :)
Deleteahhh how sweet your puppy looks adorable and ugh yes...those eggs are money! ha great blog girl!
ReplyDeleteAw thank you! Yes those eggs are trouble! Ha I just try to skip the candy aisle... Easier said than done ;) thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI am with you on the awesomeness of coming home to a clean house. My family thinks I'm crazy because I want my house nice and clean before leaving for a trip, but it is always so nice to come home to it clean. I also am a firm believer in making the bed each day. Yes, I know you are just going to get right back in it, but it makes the whole room feel put together when the bed is made. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh I totally agree with all of it. Something just so satisfying about your home feeling put together! Have a great weekend :)
