Happy Wednesday, Everybody! It’s time to join up today with Shay and me to let everybody know WHAT’S UP this fine Wednesday!
Let’s get right to it!
*WHAT WE ARE EATING*
We’ve been eating lots of the same ol’ stuff….except for the night that we had a good old fashioned fish fry with fresh caught fish and homemade french fries! IT WAS DELISH. (See the fishing pics later on in the post.) So much fun!

*WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT*
Timehop always kills me! Here’s Conner with baby Carter! Awwww! He was 6 months old.

*WHAT I’M LOVING*
I’ve got some great Spring items for y’all, and they are all UNDER $50!!! See below for the collage for my thoughts on everything!
1. spring fleece / 2. favorite sweater / 3. Clarins lip comfort oil / 4. white jeans / 5. Tahitian Manoi Body Wash / 6. Isle of Paradise Tanning Drops / 7. Amazon sunglasses / 8. Rue necklace – (gold)/ 9. striped tee / 10. Havianas flip flops / 11. Amazon cut offs / 12. Amazon undies – (neutral mix) because of white jeans!
1. spring fleece – LISTEN UP! This pullover is FANTASTIC. First of all, it’s $19. NINETEEN DOLLARS. Secondly, it’s fleece lined and soooooooooo cozy and comfy. AND it has the stand up collar THAT I LOVE. It is a perfect top for this time of year, and I have this pink and the coral. It’s a great basic and there’s a place for it in everybody’s closet. Click HERE to see it on me in the coral
2. favorite sweater – Click HERE to see it on me with jeans and leopard flats. Click HERE to see it on me with a military jacket and camo wedge sneakers. It is a great Spring sweater, and I’ve been wearing the heck out of it.
3. Clarins lip comfort oil – My sister told me about this lip comfort oil, and I can’t get enough of it. It goes on so smooth and leaves your lips feeling so hydrated.
4. white jeans – I’ve had the hardest time finding a great pair of white jeans this year, and these are the best I’ve found by far. I do suggest to consider sizing up in white jeans, so I got a 6P (I’m 5’4″ and like the ankle length). They have a good amount of stretch to them and are super flattering.
5. Tahitian Manoi Body Wash – This body wash is freaking amazing. It smells incredible and leaves my skin so soft. Chris commented on how soft my skin was and a friend commented on how great I smelled. It’s the body wash, y’all. I love the entire body bundle, but the wash is my favorite of all the products.
6. Isle of Paradise Tanning Drops – This is one of those blogger products that I’d been hearing about forever before I purchased it for myself last year. And you know what? Everybody was right. This product is awesome. It’s totally blown me away. You mix drops of it into your favorite moisturizer (I use this Charlotte Tilbury one). The more drops, the deeper the tan. You rub it all over your face, being careful not to miss any spots. And within a couple of hours, a “tan” develops. It’s magical really. I appreciate that you can control the deepness of your tan with the number of drops you use. They call it “controlling your glow” and I’m here for it. I grabbed the medium formula, and I’ve been using 3 drops with moisturizer. I feel like it gives me an even bronze glow that’s not streaky or orange. I think it’s best to apply it at night so it can develop while sleeping. When using 3 drops, the color fades in about 3 days, so I think I will probably use this product about twice a week right now. When I up the number of drops, the “tan” might stick around longer and I might go longer between uses. Click HERE if you want to see pics of the product on my forearm that show how well it works.
7. Amazon sunglasses – Want a pair of great sunglasses for under $15? Look no further! Mine are the tortoise – brown lens. I love how big the frames are and how they fit my face. Click HERE to see them on me.
8. Rue necklace – I have this necklace in gold and adore it. It’s so dainty and delicate, and I find myself wearing it basically every day.
9. striped tee – Striped tees always have my heart, and I love the colors on this one.
10. Havianas flip flops – These have been my fave flip flops for at least 3 years, maybe longer. I’m telling you, once you have these, no other flip flops will do. They are really flexible, and the flexibility makes them very comfy. All other flip flops will feel stiff when you put them on after you try these. You will never want to buy or wear another flip flop. They are absolutely worth the price. I have the rose gold and the steel grey.
11. Amazon cut offs – My favorite cut-offs are kind of expensive ($68), so I set out to find a more reasonable pair. These raw hem shorts from Amazon are a great alternative. I have the mid-blue and I sized up. I’ll show them on the blog next week. I certainly like the $35 price tag.
12. Amazon undies – I have several pairs of these lace thongs, and they are very comparable to Hanky Panky, but a lot less expensive. You can get a 4 pack for $20.50! I grabbed the neutral mix this time around since I’m about to start wearing white jeans a lot.

*WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO*
Well, we went to the ranch for Spring Break, and we ended up extending our trip. While we were there we really soaked up all the outdoor activities we could. And we did TONS of fishing.
Carson and Carter are 3rd cousins, but they are as close as brothers, without all the fighting. We were with their family before all of the quarantines went into effect.
Carter caught a crappie and was so proud.
And I quote, “crappie are good eatin”. He’s getting more country by the second.
He was proud of the bass too.
Just look at the afternoon’s haul!
**************************************************
*WHAT WE’RE DOING THIS WEEKEND*
I’m imagining a whole lot more of this….
**************************************************
*WHAT I’M WATCHING*
Oh you know, the regular stuff….THIS IS US, GREY’S ANATOMY, A MILLION LITTLE THINGS, THE VOICE, and American Idol.
Plus now we’ve added in a whole lot of syndicated shows too, because #quarantinelife. I watched SEVERAL episodes of both Friends and Seinfeld the other day. We’ve also watched tons of crime shows, and I might have watched Dirty Dancing. Twice.
*****************************************************************
*WHAT I’M LISTENING TO*
Nothing right now. It’s totally silent. And blissful.
*****************************************************************
*WHAT I’M WORKING ON*
I have a couple of sponsored posts next week that I’m working on finishing up right now. I’m excited about both!
*****************************************************************
*WHAT I’M WEARING*
This is the pullover that’s #1 in the collage above! I couldn’t love it more if I tried, AND IT’S ONLY $19! I grabbed the blush too. I’m wearing a medium because I wanted a loose and relaxed fit, but it does hang off of my shoulders a bit.
half zip pullover / dainty necklace / Wit and Wisdom light wash ankle jeans / sneakers out of stock
I’m featuring this pullover and these pull on jeans in next Monday’s post, but I’ve already worn them in real life too. I’m wearing a small in the pullover and a 4P in the jeans.
stripe pullover / earrings / pull on jeans / Hunter boots
You’ve seen this tee once before.
The color combo and pattern on this tee is what drew me to it when I saw it across the store. Now, it’s called a sweatshirt tee, but I feel that is very misleading. It’s a thick tee, but it’s nowhere near sweatshirt material.
I’m totally into a relaxed/semi boxy fit today, and this tee totally fits the bill. I’m wearing a small.
AND IT’S 40% OFF TODAY! (And you know what, lots of WORK FROM HOME items from Anthro are 40% OFF right now!)
Click HERE to see it styled when I wore it the first time with my light wash itty bitty boot cut jeans.
tee / wood tassel necklace / earrings / sandals
While at the ranch, I almost always have on this Dirt Road Darlin hat. Click HERE for tons of Judith March hats.

I am loving all these spring looks! However, spring is taking it’s sweet time here in New England and I’m mostly still wearing my winter gear. I do throw in a few spring looks anytime the temps get near or above 50 though.
Erika Slaughter says
Girlllll….He’s gone country and there’s no turning back-especially with a fish fry like that!
