What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's that time again! I'm loving that we're halfway through another week so in honor of this fact, I'm once again linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday . . .


Here's what I'm loving this week . . .
 
1. International Delight Iced Coffee Mocha flavor- I'm especially loving it now that it comes in individual sized bottles. It helps get my morning off on the right foot!



 

 
2. Thanks to Amanda I'm loving these new wax melts from Febreeze. White Peach is the only scent I've tried so far but will definitely be trying more soon. The fragrance is not too overwhelming which makes it perfect since I'm an allergy sufferer.
 
 
 
3. Kiss Press-On Nails - now ultimately I would love to be able to get regular manicures but since that's not an option these are a great alternative. They are easy to apply and typically last me anywhere from 5-7 days before they start to pop off.
 
 
 
4. Iron Man 3 - ok, confession time - maybe it's actually because of Robert Downey, Jr. himself but Iron Man is my favorite super hero. Before I got married I never really got into the super hero movies, but now that hubby has introduced me to the Avengers I'm absolutely loving Iron Man and am super stoked for the new movie coming out May 3!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
5. Bobby Flay's new cookbook Barbecue Addiction came out yesterday. I'm super excited because hubby and I will be going this Sunday to meet him get an autographed copy!!
 
 
 
6. Bluebonnets - being a native Texan I absolutely LOVE this time of year when the flowers start blooming everywhere - especially the bluebonnets! This year hubby and I made a little road trip to Ennis for the Bluebonnet Festival and it was well worth it. I have always wanted to go somewhere to see just field after field of bluebonnets since we only get a little smattering of patches here and there. This is just a sampling of many beautiful pictures we took.
(do me a favor and ignore my hair - it was CRAZY windy)




 
7. As always I'm loving another God-given day to enjoy this life with my husband!!
 
 
If you haven't done so you should head on over and see what everyone else is loving on this Wonderful Wednesday and join in the fun.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Well, I have given blogging a try in the past and as you can see it hasn't gone very well. I decided I was ready to give it another go and figured it would be best to start out trying to link up with What I'm Loving Wednesdays each week and see how it goes from there. If you haven't checked out this weekly link-up; you should!


So without further ado, here's what I'm loving on this wonderful Wednesday . . .

 
1. My dinner Monday night - Daily's frozen margarita and homemade taco/lime chicken tacos. This was the perfect combo!
 
(recipe found here)

 
2. I signed up for Ipsy's monthly Glam Bag and my first one should be arriving soon! I'm super excited because I love trying out new products and what better way to do that than by breaking the bank on full size items I may or may not like. I only pay $10 a month and receive samples of items to try.
 
 
3. Drew Barrymore's new line of makeup. This is the only item I've tried so far, but I'm loving it and can't wait to try some of her makeup. Very affordable for those on a budget, like myself! Isn't this the perfect color to kick off spring!
 
(this is called Eye of the Tiger Lily)
 
 4. Continuing on in the makeup department I'm loving E.L.F.'s new matte lipstick pencil in Rich Red. I'm usually not a red lipstick kind of girl, but this is actually perfect. It gives just enough color without being too bright.
 
 
5. I don't normally watch Dr. Oz, just because I'm not home when it's on, but I came across this regimen he recommends and have implemented it into my skincare routine over the last couple weeks. Witch hazel and St. Ives collagen/elastin moisturizer. I've always had pretty good skin but have noticed lately it hasn't been looking it's best. Ever since I started using this system I've noticed a difference - my skin is looking brighter and healthier again.
 
 
6. Call me a nerd/geek but I love researching the best products on the market. I just signed up for a subscription to Consumer Reports and am beside myself waiting for my first issue. My dad had a subscription years ago and we would "fight" over who got to look at it first.
 
 
 
7. Sharpie's 80's Glam fine point pens! Just got these for work and am loving all the fun colors. Helps me keep things organized!
 
 
8. Last, but certainly not least I'm loving that God has given me another day to enjoy my life with my wonderful husband!!
