Lots of lovin'

Looking forward to Valentines Day! Over the past few years I've really come to embrace this holiday. I think it's because it offers something happy {like love} to think about during these long cold months of winter. Here's some of the little loves I've been buying, watching, and getting excited about....

H&M 4 Pairs Earrings

These gold rimmed dot earrings are as cute as a button! Remember how I once told you that I shop at Nordstrom's Brass Plum (teenage dept) for jewelry? As another blog once advised, you can find both cheap and cute there. Well, I'll now be adding H&M to my favorite jewelry shops because these encompass exactly what I look for in jewelry....classic, inexpensive, non-dangly, and goes with everything. Did I mention a 4-pair pack of these are only $5.95? STEAL!

Be ready to pucker up for your hottie (did I just write hottie?!) with these Color Stain Sticks by Revlon. My friend {thanks Julie!} mentioned them on her blog a couple of months ago, and after receiving an Ulta giftcard for Christmas, I decided to try one....or two. ;) Honey (which I think goes on darker than it shows but still very complimentary) and Cherish (which at first is like a total Barbie doll pink, but totally in right now!). Both lighten up nicely with Aveda's color gloss in Luna on top and the color stays on for a very long time. Love how the applicator is like a crayon too, very soft and easy to apply and cheaper than Clinique's Chubby Sticks. I think these will be a new staple in my make-up bag from now on!

Do you remember how cool Astronaut Ice Cream was when you were a kid? It came up the other day when I was reading a space book to our boys and they couldn't believe I had actually eaten space food before. :O I love it when I can still wow them with my awesomeness. So, I went onto amazon and of course they have some! This is going to be my Valentines present for my boys. ;)

We no longer have cable, but that hasn't stopped me (aka The Home Show Addict) from buying seasons of shows that I like via amazon (the verdict is still out if not having cable is actually saving us any money....). I find this show Fixer Upper to be funny, amazing, and interesting. I just can't get enough of it! Joanna also has a blog called Magnolia. You can check out more of their work here.

I've been on the hunt for a good new book to get into and have heard this one The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton is really good! I just picked it up at the library today, but am super excited to get started reading it and will be sure to let you know what I think. 

Hope you all have a lovely time enjoying your loves, whatever they may be!
