Friday Favorites and a GIVEAWAY Announcement

It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means!  It’s time to link up with Erika, Andrea, and Narci to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now!

Did you see yesterday’s post? Yep, that’s right…I had a SURPRISE post on Thursday!  If you haven’t seen it, you need to put this post on hold for just a minute and go scroll through yesterday’s post really fast.  There are tons of AMAZING deals, and you need to see if there’s something you want to scoop up at the sale price before it’s gone forever.  😉 #nopressure #theresababyblardigan

I posted this on social media last weekend, but I wanted the pic to live on the blog as well.

If you see me out and about right now, I’ll most likely be wearing 1 of these 4 pairs of shoes. They are my GO TO’s and they pretty much cover all of the bases for me. Every once in a while I’ll throw on my fav pair of flip flops or my new low profile wedges, but these are the shoe heroes in my closet.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND all of them.

must have wedges (true to size- size up if you have wide feet)/ shoreline converse (true to size)/ flat brown sandals (size up a 1/2) / orange slides (true to size)

And don’t forget, if orange isn’t your thing, these slides come in lots of different colors. They also come in black, gold, silver, and even an amazing leopard print!  SWOON!

I’m not really a flip flop girl, but I do love these little leopard beauties.  And they are a great price!  Even better, the neutral ones are 40% OFF!

GIVEAWAYS ARE ALWAYS A FAVORITE and I’m launching one today!  Two of you lucky ladies are going to win an awesome prize!

Did you see my SKIN CARE POST on Wednesday?  You know I love Colleen Rothschild products, and Colleen herself curated an a.m. and p.m. skin care routine for my problem areas (fine lines around eyes and dark spots), and I reviewed the products on the post.  They are also having a HUGE SALE right now, so everything in the post is 25% OFF, including their new bundles that are already at a reduced price!  What a deal!  In addition to reading my post, you can also head over to the highlight reel on my instastories where I show and review some of my favorite products!

HOW TO ENTER:  If you already use and love Colleen’s products, go click over and leave a comment saying WHAT your favorite product is and WHY.  If you don’t use her products yet, go leave a comment saying the 2 products you are most interested in trying.  On Sunday night, two winners will be chosen (by random number generator) and the winners will each win a $200 GIFT CARD TO COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD!  Click HERE to enter!

Here’s a comment left by a reader that will make you want to try one of everything:

I’ve yet to try a product that I don’t go on to LOVE! Each one I try pretty much instantly becomes a must have. I use the Balancing Gel Cleanser (daily & prior to any special treatment), Dual Enzyme Polish (1-2/week), Clay mask (1-2/ week usually… more if I feel a breakout coming on), Salicylic Acid Treatment (@ night w/Ext. Recovery on top to prevent over drying), Extreme Recover @ night & Sheer Renewal for day, Oil #9 as needed (winter dryness, planes, if I feel a tad tight or over dry from S. Acid application, etc.) Lip Balm, Body Lotion… love the Muslin cloths, Radiant Cleaner, & Extreme eye… I’m going to try the Mandelic Acid next I think.

WHY do I use them?  Because they make my skin feel like a baby’s behind… THAT is why!!!!  Seriously, it’s soft as butter & my skin has changed so dramatically. Nothing has come close to working like Colleen’s products have & I’ve tried many.  I have sensitive skin, still deal w/hormonal acne & many stress induced breakouts…yet am trying not to show my age! (35)- I follow the application rule of hairline to breast line & I never miss the back of my hands! If anywhere will show your age, it’s the back of the hands…maybe because people treat their face, etc & not there? Regardless of the why, I don’t want mine to be my dead giveaway, so they get it too!  I literally have no idea how it’s possible, but all of the CR products just keep making my skin better & better with each new one I try… THEY. ARE. AMAZING!!!

WELL GOODNESS GRACIOUS, CRYSTAL!  THAT IS A GLOWING RECOMMENDATION!!!!!!  I’m telling you girls, the products are amazing!!!!

This $49 red dress has definitely become a favorite for me.  In fact, I wore it to church on Mother’s Day, I just styled it a little bit differently with different earrings and a different bag!

And I had to grab a pic with the one that made me a mamma!

May 11th was the 1st Annual Manda Strong Golf Tournament, and several friends volunteered the early shift to help check all the golfers in! I’m so proud of Manda’s parents for creating this foundation in her honor.  They are passionate about helping other young mom’s with cancer in Collin County, and it’s a beautiful thing to see.  If you want to read more about what they are doing, you can click HERE.

I’ve got a couple of outfits of the day for you! These are outfits I’ve worn this week, and I remembered to snap a pic before walking out the door!  #gome

You saw this navy eyelet tee last week with khaki shorts (click HERE to see that outfit), and I love it paired here with denim too.  I’m wearing a small, and it’s oversized, but I like the fit!  And I love that it looks like I bought the bag while on a beach vacation!

I threw this outfit together when running out the door one day this week, and I loved it!  I was totally comfy, yet felt cute and put together!  This top is called a “butterfly top” and I think it’s so flattering.  It totally hides a tummy (not that an of us have one of those) ;), and the coordinating stripes are just fun!  Paired with my official jeans of summer and my new low profile wedges, I was ready for errands around town!  (Click HERE if you want to see a full review and lots more pics of both the jeans and wedges!)

Also, you can click HERE to see other butterfly top patterns (the pink one and the chambray one are both ON SALE)!
