My new favourite spring trick for glowing skin: adding foundation to your moisturizer

Happy Friday!! This past week was honestly so great. I so badly needed to get back in to a routine and really focus on making things happen, and I'm proud to say I actually did just that (I know, I was surprised too). The weather has been great these past few days, and between having to wear less layers, taking lunch time walks and playing tennis, it's safe to say I am fully embracing it! Hopefully I can continue this productive streak this weekend and make some decor decisions about our bedroom and living room. I hope you all have a productive or relaxing or refreshing weekend! Which ever one is needed!

This Anthropologie clutch (similar here) is the perfect spring/summer accessory and 

I found it on sale, so I clearly couldn't say no!

This week was filled with lots of ups and downs. I came down with a case of the Mondays and it totally threw me off (I usually welcome Mondays and the fresh start). But I am back on track now and can happily say that my week wasn't affected too much by the rough start. I am, of course, looking forward to this weekend, especially since we are going for dinner at one of my favourite restaurants! I'm sure it will be just the thing I need to make sure next Monday starts off on the right foot!

I've recently discovered that using a french press is a quick and easy way to froth milk 

(other ideas here), and now I make tea lattes (too much) at home as a nice 

afternoon treat.

Besides my favourite clutch, I have been loving these gold detailed boots from target 

(similar here). I had been wanting to try shorter boots and since the price was 

right I couldn't pass them up.

I picked up this stocking holder on sale after Christmas. I was about to pack it away with 

my other decorations, but decided to keep it out and use it as a hook for my 

Sugar Paper calendar! It works perfectly and who doesn't

 love some owl details?

Philosophy Purity Cleanser, NYX Lip Cream, Korres Moisturizer, Olay Cleansing 

Brush, Redken Volume Foam

Happy Valentines Day Everyone! I hope you all have some red and pink on today, or have lots of goodies ready to eat! Tonight we are leaving for a little weekend vacation and I couldn't be happier! Sometimes it's just so great to get away from the usual weekend activities and try something new. Until then I figured I'd share a round up of my favourite things from the past little while. This is definitely a 'beauty' edition of my weekly favourites, but I figured it was perfect timing to get that great Valentines Day look!

1. This Philosophy cleanser is definitely my favourite cleanser that I've ever used. Not only does it cleanse your face, but it removes makeup so well. I loved it too because it's a good mid priced cleanser, it won't break the bank!

2. If you guys haven't heard of, or ever used NYX products, then you need to go (run) to a drugstore near you. I've heard some great reviews about their products over the past little while and decided to grab these lip creams to try it out. These things are amazing. The colours are so great and so bright. They last a long time and go on so smooth.

3. I was in the market for a new moisturizer a little while ago and decided to try this one from Korres. The thing I love most about Korres is that they use natural products. This moisturizer surpassed all my expectations. It hydrates your skin so well, especially if you have dry skin in the winter like me! It also gives a great overall glow to your skin, and I mean who doesn't love that?

4. Another skin care product I have been trying these past months is the Olay Cleansing Brush. I am a big fan of exfoliating, especially before you put makeup on. It just makes your skin so smooth and it really helps makeup go on better. I've always wanted to try one of these cleansing brushes, but didn't want to spend a lot on one until I knew the results. Then I discovered this Olay one and the price was right. It is a definite must for anyones skincare routine, trust me you will not regret buying this!

5. Finally, I've noticed lately that after a day my hair seemed to loose any volume it once had. I decided to try this volume foam and have loved the results. It gives your hair just the right amount of volume and it smells great too!
