First of all…I want to start off this post by saying “Hi Julie!”
Who is Julie?
Well, Julie is the sweet girl who walked up to me at The LOFT yesterday
(I know…..try to hide your shock that I was shopping at The LOFT)
and asked if I had a blog!
WHAT!?!
I was recognized!
My voice went up like 12-13 octaves, and I must have said around 27 times that I was so glad that she said something to me!
She said she thought I looked familiar, and let’s just be honest, the fact that we were in The LOFT must have tipped her off to the possibility that it could be me.
Anyway, SO. MUCH. FUN.
And true to form, I left LOFT with 3 cardigans.
Not even kidding.
(Listen, I was powerless. They have $20 cardigans and $10 camis right now! Click HERE.)

Oh..and speaking of LOFT….LOFT people….why haven’t you contacted me yet?
I am like a self-appointed Goodwill Ambassador for LOFT, and you guys don’t even know I exist.
(Well, that’s not entirely true…
your credit card billing department knows I exist on the 16th of every month.)
Anyway, LOFT…..call me! 🙂
Okay…so this is the most random Obsessions lists I’ve ever had.
Heck…it might be the most random Obsessions list in the history of the world.
There is NO common theme between these things, so don’t try to figure one out!
Oh wait…there IS a common theme…I’m obsessed with them…
Duh!
1)
I am a HUGE fan of Arbonne Mineral Powder foundation.
HUGE. FAN.
I am a HUGE fan of Arbonne Mineral Powder foundation.
HUGE. FAN.
It is lightweight, but gives a great matte coverage that I love.
It is FANTASTIC.
I wore liquid make-up until I found this product around 7 years ago,
and now I just wear this powder foundation.
It is sooooo easy to put on, and it literally takes like 10 seconds to cover my entire face.

I truly cannot say enough good things about it.
It’s the only foundation I have used for the past 7 years and I really do LOVE it.

My make-up routine is super simple:
Arbonne Mineral Powder foundation
blush
a quick sweep of eyeshadow
black eyeliner applied with a brush
mascara
lipstick
NARS sweet dreams lip gloss

Check out this neck cream.
And check out my GORGEOUS mom (with my gorgeous little sister):

Smart Ones Double Fudge Cake.
YUM.
Now, you can’t eat one of these every night (at least I you shouldn’t)…
but they are a super delicious special treat.
You keep them in the freezer, and then just take individual servings out when you like!
They are perfect after 15 seconds in the microwave!
The cake on the bottom is soooo moist, and the topping is rich and fudgy.
And rumor has it that a couple of spoonfuls of Dreyer’s chocolate chip
frozen yogurt is delicious on top of it.
I may or may not know something about that.

I thought I would share with you 2 of the things I know I’m getting for Christmas since I have specially requested them!

THESE pajamas from J Crew.
They are kind of pricey, but one of my best friend’s sisters swears by them.
She says they have such a cute fit and that they are oh so soft.
What a fun gift to give or receive!
You know… a treat that you wouldn’t normally splurge on for yourself…the best kind of gift!
I got the hydrangea (light blue with navy piping), but they also come in navy with white piping.
THIS watch.
33% off at Nordstrom right now.
Free shipping, free returns.
I told Chris just last night that this watch was already on it’s way to me,
and that he was giving it to me for Christmas.
He was THRILLED!
He thinks I’m hard to shop for.
WHAT?!?
Are you kidding?
I am so excited for this piece of arm candy to find it’s way to me. She will be so happy on my wrist.
Have a great weekend everybody!
Only 11 more days till Christmas!!!!!
Oh…just saw that Banana Republic is now extending 30% off until 12/16!
And ya’ll, J Crew Factory has 40% off everything..PLUS free shipping..PLUS an additional 20% off orders over $75! That’s crazy!

Omg! I went to the loft a few days ago after you listed their cardigans on your must buy must have list. Ended up buying all the women on my list sweaters because they were having that amazing sweater sale. I also found amazing scarves on sale and cute slippers. As I paid I thought to myself "I would never of come here without Sheaffer."
I also texted the hubs pics of cardigans I wanted under the tree for myself and jewelry pieces my daughter knew I "needed". On top of that I called three of my girlfriends to tell them to run down and score some AHmazing sweater deals as well.
I hope they know what a jewel they have in you!

Your mom looks AMAZING, seriously. And how cool that you were "spotted" at LOFT!

mel @ the larson lingo says
SO awesome you ran into a blog reader. That has happened to me a few times….one time it was a the grocery store & my girls were having meltdowns. HAHA. Good times!
I love that you bought 3 more cardigans…are you trying to out cardigan me? When is our first Cardigans Anonymous meeting? hahaha!
C.Gravely says
Love your blog. I actually used your line today in convo. I had on a "color rule" breaking outfit- you know black brown and grey together- and my sister said hmmm thats different…so it was just the perfect moment for me to say…"sorry pinterest told me too"
Love from SC

Team Seghs says
Looooove that you were spotted! Now you are famous instead of just infamous : )
My favorite part of today is 1.) your moms neck….wowza and 2.) your final words "that's crazy!" cause I can hear your voice!
Team Seghs says
Ps I'm so happy you are getting that watch!
I'd look so good in a good one…….hint….hint….Dave?
Team Seghs says
Gold one. A gold one
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
Love that watch!! Great find — you'll be so surprised Christmas morning!
Tracy says
You were recognized! Awesome!!! I love that!!!
Sheaffer, you must try Blinc mascara. It's my newest obsession. It doesn't smear at all during the day and makes my stubby lashes long and fabulous. I've even cried with it on and it holds still. But it washes right off easily with water.
Rachel Knows Best says
I love that watch!!!! Now how to get my husband to see this?
