Outfit Details: Skirt / Tank (similar) / Scarf (similar, but not really) / Shoes (similar)

Make Up Details: Foundation / Finishing Powder / Eyeshadow / Eyelashes / Blush / Bronzer

Seriously, I should just stop taking my own outfit pictures and let her do it instead.

Love this picture of us...and I have no idea what the lipstick I was wearing, I can't for the life of me remember what I put on...probably Lipsense

Here are some other skirts that would be perfect for summer:

This midi jean skirt would be perfect for shopping or church.

This asymmetrical one is just fun and I'm obsessed with grey stripes right now...evidence here.

This one is fun for the beach.

Who doesn't like gingham? This would be perfect for errands or church.

Every box is totally worth it, but I think this Summer box totally knocked it out of the park!

TBB Asks: June Edition

Hi Foxy Friends! Sorry I have been MIA for a bit. We had some family stuff going on, and I decided to concentrate on family and being in the moment for a bit. But I couldn't miss out on TBB Asks Monday, those are my favorite days! Go link up your answers here!

1. Walk or Bike? Bike, because you cover more ground. But we rarely bike around here, so I guess walk? We like going on hikes whenever we travel to a new spot.

2. Favorite Picnic Food? So the only picnic food I really eat is the kind you can take to the beach, so I really like pretzel bread with salami, mustard and cheese with some  Kettle BBQ chips.

3.  Pool or Lake? Pool, we don't have a lake? Or can I pick beach? We do have those.

4. Favorite Flavor of Ice Cream? Chocolate Malted Crunch from Thrifty's (now located in Rite Aid), do you have that where you live?

5.  Ice Cream Cone or In A Dish? Ice cream cone every time and a sugar cone.

6.  Flip Flops or Slides? Flip flops, these  are the ones I am currently rocking, and have bought a couple of pairs because I wear them out. But I just bought these, I hear they are comfortable.

7.  Jean Shorts or Jean Capris? Jean shorts, capris don't actually work on my legs. My calves are too big for those, and they make me look WAY shorter than I already am. These are my current favorite.

8.  Favorite Summer Fruit? Strawberries and grapes...preferably when eaten at the same time. (It's in my lunch today, favorite part of my day when I get to eat my fruit, sad but true).

12.  Favorite Berry? See above, Strawberries hands down. Especially when you can get them fresh from a farm stand.

13.  Kind Of Bathing Suit? I like bikini's, but am afraid those days have passed (minus when I'm at home and no one but my family is seeing me), so I'm into the one pieces right now. Currently I am rocking this and this and this I got last year and they are still selling and I get a TON of compliments on it every time I wear it.

14.  Dresses or Skirts? Dresses all the way, specifically any of these.

15.  One Word To Describe Summer? Epic, I always feel like we have the best summers, and they are just getting better now that the kids can travel. Bring on summer!

What are some of your answer? If you don't have a blog, or didn't do this, answer in the comments below!

Friday Favorites #165

Hi Foxy Friends! Happy Friday! I actually worked 5 days this week, it's a miracle, or not, I would have rather worked 4, lol. Onto this weeks Favorites:

Monday: 3 Southern California Getaways
Wednesday: 10 Summer Must Haves + Dressing Up and Romper
Thursday: My Ulta and Shein + Amazon Haul

Any videos you guys want to see me make?

 

Saturday was jammed packed with events. It started with Mini Fox and soccer in the misty weather. She did great and scored two goals! She's looking forward to next seasons, she really wants to play in the Fall, but this Mama isn't sure if she can handle two soccer practices for Baby Fox and 1 for Mini Fox...yikes!

We hustled home and got ready for the Mother's Day Tea at my mom's church. My mom did a great job organizing, and I helped cleaned up, and Mini Fox and I ended up washing 80+ glasses by ourselves...

Meanwhile these two did this.

Then I ran home and dropped Mini Fox at home and changed to go to a PTA MNO. Which was super fun!  I forgot to take pictures, but did take this one. This was close to the end and many people had already left, oops!

Meanwhile Mr. and another dad, whose wife was with me, took all 5 kids out for ice cream (yep Baby Fox got two ice creams in one day) right at bedtime. We got the text at 8:15...dad's for the win.

Sunday, Mr. took Baby Fox to the Angels game for Little League day. Was a long day for them, but they got to parade onto the field and they got on the jumbotron 4 times! They were happy kids.

My dad got to join them for the fun.

And this kid got his first slurpee.

Meanwhile, I went to church and got this girl to smile (not my kid) in a selfie...I'm thinking she likes me, every time I take a picture she smiles.

We surprised (this is the same lady I was with last night and all 5 of these kids got ice cream), we surprised the littles by taking them to a play place for a bit.

 
Then out to lunch. Where she smiled again :)

 Then I offered to take the middle kid so my friend could take her youngest home for a nap. They had a blast, I had a quick errand to run, the kids were so cute together.

 They played a lot, and then sat down to watch some Frozen.

The men got home shortly after and they ended up staying for dinner. 12  hours with friends, yes please! Love unexpected days like these.

Some things that I am loving or want lately. There's always a list right?

I was always a Knudson's sour cream girl, wouldn't stray, had to buy brand. Until one day I was at Sprouts and they only brand they sell is Daisy, then I saw this packaging...and had to have it. It's perfect and you never need to get a spoon dirty to dish out the sour cream.

These sandals, I want a pair for summer. I think they look super comfy, and I think I can get a lot of use out of them...speaking of absolutely nothing. We were talking at work about how many shoes we owned. I knew I owned a lot...but had no idea. I counted...I have 79...let that sink in. Also that counts slippers, flip flops, bowling shoes, climbing shoes...all of them. So how many do you have?

You all know I got a fitbit recently. I talked about finding some fancy arm bangles this week already, but I want something that is the rubber kind that is a different color than black. I get 12 colors for $16.99, that seems pretty reasonable doesn't it?

I want to get these, but I already bought Mini Fox a dress to wear for 4th of July...darn. Maybe next year? But at this price point, can't really go wrong?

One last thing. I recently went to a MNO for our PTA, I know strange, but hey, they raised money. Anyway, they had a couple of vendors there, and I was introduced to Street Color. It's for your nails, and instead of it being a sticker, it's actually nail polish. But you place it like a sticker, you smooth it down and then apply clear mail polish over it. How cool is that? Plus 20% goes back to the school, so I was really supporting the school. I bought 6 packages...oops! I'll keep you posted how it goes, since when I was there, someone else put the nail polish stickers on me. But if you want to try it out, let me know and I'll send you the link for the party.

Oh my gosh, so funny and super entertaining. This guy tweeted about his entire field trip with 60, 10 years olds...laughing so hard, you have to read them all!

 Remember last week when I told you we bought this? Well going to put it to good use so I can make this, Yum.

What I Have Bought Recently

Hi Foxy Friends! Today I'm finally sharing what I got at the Ulta 21 days of beauty event and Shein! I find that Shein is hit or miss, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I loved almost everything that I bought (the grey sweater gets an eh, a little scratchy). Here's a video with the break down of everything, including a video of me wearing the clothes. Speaking of which, super awkward posing for a video instead of a picture. You feel obligated to do something cute...how do people make it look so effortless?

Anything you getting from the Nordstrom sale that I NEED? I'm seriously considering getting these sandals, this sweater and this jumpsuit (but shortgirl problems it probably won't fit, that model looks tall and it's long on her!). But haven't hit buy yet...

Didn't make it to the video, but I really love this desk tripod too! It's sturdy and you better believe I'll be using it for some tutorials soon! Oh and in case you were wondering I use this program for editing my videos and photos.
