Prime Purchases

Last year I saw Andrea post her favorite Prime Purchases, and she was linking up to Tayna who hosts the link up. Super fun, right? You see what I'm buying that I don't need/purchasing and we all get to then want to buy all the things, keeping the economy going right there. Click here to see my past purchases. Okay let's get started!

These jeans, are a MUST get. I've worn them so many times, and 5 of my friends also bought them.They are the most comfortable things you will ever wear and you can wear them all night and there is no hiking up. Size down 2, seriously, I was worried, but I sized down 2 and they fit PERFECT!


I wore this exact outfit to our baseball fundraiser this weekend.

Shirt / Shoes (on sale right now and comes in 7 colors)

We are on bottle 2 of this for Mini Fox, it's the best. It can be left in or washed out, which is good when you don't always get all of the conditioner out. And it makes her hair so easy to comb and super soft. Highly recommend this.

We bought this tie for Baby Fox's 1st Holy Communion. You see that black part, it's actually a zipper, so you pull on the back side, it just zips closed or open, it's pretty awesome! Highly recommend this!


It would have gone all the way up to his neck, but he didn't like it, so we put it slightly lower, gotta pick and choose your battles!


I have been making some crafts lately that require glitter, I might now have a glitter obsession. So I put the glitter I buy in these containers, they are great little containers.

In case you were wondering...this is what I've been making. I take a steel tumbler and put glitter, vinyl and epoxy on it. Eventually I'll do a post on how I do it, but gotta get my butt in gear first.

It's a tumbler...I wanted to know how to make them, so I made the machine that helps me make them and I started making them. I've made 3.5 (one is currently in process) and I sort of love it, so if you know me, you're most likely going to get one.



Last thing I bought, was this workout tank. I've decided I hate all of my workout tanks, none of them bring me joy, so I'm going to start buying ones that do bring me joy. This one brings me joy.


So that's what I've been buying lately. I bought a bunch of other stuff and returned it...and I've bought the kids some stuff too, like this 4th of July T-Shirt, so cute right? Tell me what I NEED. Yep need.

Weekly Favorites #13

Hi Foxy Friends. Happy Friday! Today is my off Friday AND Mr. is coming back! It's been a long 6 days! But I made it, we got Panda Express for dinner last night, so all is good with the world...until he leaves again in 3 weeks. Anyway, back to Weekly Favorites, so much happened last weekend.


Last week this kid lost his second tooth in a week. He's so excited to finally loose some teeth at 8.


Mini Fox got the mail the other day and divided the piles by category. From left to right:  not sure what to do pile,  throw away pile, keep pile (which ha check marks and hearts on it). Funny enough, all the piles had junk mail in it.


Both my brother and my Mother-In-Law came to visit, so one slept down stairs while the other slept in Mini Fox's room, which means that both Baby and Mini Fox sleep together. We were going to set up a blow up mattress, but they insisted on sleeping together. Just before we snapped this picture, they were facing each other with arms draped on each other. They moved right before we took the picture. Darn.



Saturday was Baby Fox's big day, First Holy Communion. We are so proud how hard he's worked towards this goal for the last 3 years.






Baby Fox did a reading, a friend was so kind to take a picture for us.


Big group right? The other half is going this coming weekend.








Best cake, they did such a great job decorating too.




After lunch/party Baby Fox got ready for his 2 hour belt test. We are so proud how hard he's work for this goal, each belt gets him one closer to black.


Final test, balancing books on their back while answer what each belt represents. This is more for fun, if the book fell it wasn't a big deal, just put it back on and keep going. Which is what their lesson was, don't give up, just keep working at it.







Baby Fox securing his new blue belt under the rocker so that it wouldn't get wet, it was super cute. Yes we still have that rocker, no we don't use it other than to hold our electronics when we are in the bath, lol.



So one more event Saturday night. I told you that we had a ton of stuff going on Saturday, when it rains it pours. We had Baby Fox's Fundraising Gala for his school. Theme was Red Carpet Ready, everyone who helped organize it did such a great job. I helped a bit, but mostly just showed up and spent money, lol.

Note: I tried a new eye make up look and I really like the way it came out.







It was such a great evening with friends raising money for our kids.


Not much on the blogging front, but I did get two blog posts out this week. 

Wednesday I shared the perfect dress to wear for upcoming events this Spring and Summer. Wedding season is upon us.


Thursday I shared what I am buying at the Sephora sale, this happens once or twice a year, so stock up on your beauty stuff now, 10-20% discount is WAY better than nothing!

 
If you made it to the end, thanks for baring with me. I do use this blog as a record for our family. I use to try and maintain a family blog and this blog, but it was too much, so now you guys get to know everything about us. So thanks! This weekend, is full of baseball and more first communions. I want to go see End Game, but don't think we'll have time this weekend, as Saturday night we have another fundraiser for baseball.

Have a great weekend!

What To Buy At Sephora For Beginners and What To Try

Hi Foxy Friends. The Sephora VIB sale, or if you are Rouge, then it's called the Rouge sale is happening now! If you need to stock up on anything then now is your time! If you are just starting out your beauty collection, then you still get a 10% off being an Insider. I've put together a list of my beauty staples that I will be getting more of, and then a list of things I want...but not sure if I want to spend the money. So let's get to shopping!

*Some of the links are affiliate links and I will  either receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you click on it or if you make a purchase from one of these links, I may also receive a commission on the sale of the product. Click here for my disclosure page.


These are the things that I buy over and over again. Okay so that's a small lie, I just got the lipstick and the lip pencil and love it so much, they truely are long lasting. I put them on and it's still there 5-6 hours later...depending on what I eat. But really I can eat and drink and it's still there. They're so awesome, my mom came and borrowed it for a trip she was taking because she didn't have time to pick one up herself. Speaking of which...that might be a good Mother's Day gift...



This dry shampoo, best EVER. I just got it and still have a mostly full bottle, and am going to buy a new one...because discount. I've been using that face wash for the last 10 years or so? Still a staple to get off my make up before I do my whole face regimen. The eye stuff, have bought several of each over the years, and they are my go to's and I stock up when I can get a deal.

Let's move onto the next list...facial wish list. I've been using another face system for the last 2 years and I feel like it's time to change it up. I'm almost out of my other, so this comes at the perfect time to stock up. These are the things I think I'm going to get to try out and see what I like best. I hope something works out!

These are just things that I don't NEED, but want to try out. I am most interested in the match sticks, the reviews say they are life changing and you can use on your lips, eyes and cheeks...interested Fenty, very interested...but am I $90 interested? Not sure...

The other two eye shadow palettes are very similar in colors so you can see what I have on the brain. I know it's not Spring/Summer time colors, but those light pinks don't really look good on me. So I'm okay with that...now to pick which one, I don't NEED two. The lip gloss, it's a light sheen that gives color and some gloss, and the blush is just pretty.



Marc Jacob Lipgloss / Natasha Denona Eye Shadow Palette / Too Face Eye Shadow Palette / Fenty Beuaty Match Stick

So there you have it everything I'm getting at the Sephora Sale, but hurry the sale ends Monday, May 6th. Some honorable mentions, that I don't need more of, but would buy in a heartbeat if I did.

NARS Concealer (I use this for spot concealing)
Liquid Eyeliner - actually thinking about it, I need this, but don't want to redo the graphic above.

So anything I need to add to my list? I have 4 days to more stuff.

Perfect Summer Dress

Hi Foxy Friends! It know I've fallen off the blogging wagon. Not sure what is going on, life I guess? I have all of these ideas, yet the weekends seem to fly by and naps seem really, really nice, so I've been taking those instead of blog pictures. So there's that. One day I'll jump back on the wagon, but for now, you'll get some outfit posts, I can put those together still.

Let's talk about this dress for a second. A friend posted a picture of her in this jumpsuit, so immediately I went to find it. While I was on the website I started looking around and found this dress, and fell in love. I had Baby Fox's First Holy Communion (the next day), and the dress I bought, I decided I didn't want to wear for this occasion. I happened to be going to the mall to return things, so I tried it on and didn't even hesitate to buy it. I did also try on the jumpsuit and it didn't fit, for being so short, I have a long torso, which makes it hard to find jumpsuits that fit me.

Guess what? It has pockets! I know! Right?! Perfect dress.


Dress / Shoes / Earrings / Necklace (similar)

I love the peek-a-boo color on the longer back side too.


Sort of loving the curls in this picture. I used this curling wand.


This is me trying to be like IG famous...pretending I know what I'm doing? Not sure, but I'm showing you anyway.


I know you're dying to know my make up so here's everything I used.

Side note: just before I put my make up on, I smiled at something and split my lip...if you look closely you can see it just below my left front tooth.
