Hi Foxy Friends! Today I have my new favorite Love Tee, it's so cute, and it's only $10, can't beat that price! Now the weather needs to cool down, I don't like wearing tight tee's when it's hot. Currently we're having 95° weather with 71% humidity, which is high for us! Anyway, enough complaining, let's get to it.

Totally off topic, but my FAVORITE strapless bra is being price matched at Nordstrom (not part of the anniversary sale). Having things in your wish list paid off, I randomly put it there to remember to buy it later, and when I went to check on what I had in my wishlist, low and behold it was there 25% off! You need to get it, I can wear it all day and not have to pull up on it. You'll thank me later. I'm wearing it here:
Tank (now only $10.49, get it for next year!) / Shorts / Shoes (similar)
Link up your fashion post below! I'd love to see what you got at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, or what you've been wearing lately!
The Blended Blog link up is currently in a Free Style mode for Summer, but we're working on some new stuff come Fall! So stay tuned for that!
Hello Foxy Friends! I wanted to try and get this up as quick as possible, but I'm sharing all of the things I got from BeautyCon LA 2018. Plus I thought it would be helpful to give you some tips for going to BeautyCon, since we went in not knowing what to expect. I figured other people might want some pointers to going to BeautyCon.
Bring Snacks! At least at the LA convention center, the surrounding restaurants opened at 11, and there isn't much else around. I would either eat breakfast before you get there, and bring food to eat later in the day. The lines are long, and we went and got food first which made it so that we got to the venue about noon, which is when our pass got us in. However, it took us an hour of waiting in line to actually get in. Which brings me to the next tip.
We ended up getting frozen yogurt until we could get real food!
Go early! If you can, I would actually try and get the early pass, I'm not sure exactly how they distinguish early pass from a later pass, but get there early! Get in line and eat your food. At least at the Los Angeles Convention center, you want to be in the shade, because being in the sun is hot and sweaty.
Go with friends! I think the perfect numbers is 3 other people, so 4 all
together. That way, people can wait in pairs, and you can wait in line
while others go scope stuff out and get samples. The more people you have roaming about the more samples you can check out and see which lines you want to wait in.
Speaking of samples, ask for them! If you see a booth, ask what they are giving away. Decide if waiting in line is worth it to you. So many times we asked, hey do you know what they are giving away, and they would say, no...I would think, then why are you waiting in this line? You only have so much time there, and you need to maximize it.
I cannot stress this enough! Wear comfortable shoes! I wore tennis shoes and a romper. I was super comfortable all day walking and standing in line. I think 95% of the people there were wearing flats. It makes sense when you are going to be on your feet all day. All those that wore heels, probably didn't know better. Trust me, everyone is full out make up and cute outfits, from the knees up, then they wore sensible shoes.
Bonus: Bring a backpack so you can hold all of your stuff! It distributes the weight and makes it easier to carry everything. There is a coat check if you need it too. So fill it up, put some in coat check and get all the samples you can!
Here is the video I did for you all.
A breakdown of everything I could find from the video.

Hi Foxy Friends! Happy Friday, finally. I feel like this week just DRAGGED!!! But it's Friday, woo hoo! Bella is finishing her last day of preschool this year, she still has another year, I know it seems like she should be going to Kinder, but she misses the cutoff by 9 days. Which is a good thing. Anyway, getting side tracked. Let's get started with my Friday Favorites.
Friday my MIL came to town. We all headed to the concert in the park, it was super fun. The kids danced and played and the adults talked.
Saturday was low key, I went to my workout class, and then came home and got ready and took Baby Fox to his sparring class.
Then came home and we all went to the movies to see Ant-man and Wasp, super good. Can't wait to see the next one.
Then we headed to dinner with family, forgot to take a picture, darn! But it was great to see the family and chat over good Mexican food. The kids like to climb on this bike rack and it makes me nervous every time...I try not to look, so Mr. took this picture. Why does Mini Fox look 10 here?!
Sunday I went to BeautyCon LA and it was pretty awesome! While it took us over an hour to get in to the venue, it was so much fun once we were in and going around getting free samples. I'm going to be doing a haul soon, and I also vlogged it for you to see! But here are some pictures.
It was at the LA convention center. We were a bit early and NOTHING was open to grab brunch (note to self open a brunch place), so we got some frozen yogurt until something opened...at 11, yep some dessert before lunch.
We're in and the first thing I see is Manny MUA, he was there greeting fans for a couple of hours, he's such a rock star and so gorgeous in real life!
Waiting in line to get free swag. Sorry for the sweaty faces, we were so stinkin' hot! The lines was so long to get in and half of it was in the blazing sun.
Some of the booths wanted you to take a picture and then post it to IG to get the free swag.
There were lots of places to take pictures. Comfy shoes is a must!
I don't know if we would go back on Sunday next year, we're going try Saturday as we hear that is when all of the big swag bags are given out.
Here is the Vlog from Sunday. Sorry it is so choppy, I kept forgetting to Vlog.
Until next year BeautyCon! I'll have a whole post on the lessons I learned next week for you.
Things that we bought at Prime Day, Mr. was so super excited about Prime Day, I can't even begin to tell you guys. Then he got the kids on board, and Mini Fox tells me, that I don't have the Spirit of Prime Day and that I'm not allowed to get anything, haha! Well that quickly changed, and we bought a bunch of stuff, so what did we get? Here ya go:

These are the creators and friends of the workout class I always talk about...man him and his wife #Goals.
So what are you doing this weekend? We're hanging with some friends and swimming in their new pool, then going to dinner with my aunt and uncle. Then Sunday I think some friends are coming over that we haven't seen in almost a year! Time flies and suddenly it's been a year since we've seen each other! Link up with The Blended Blog each Friday for Friday Loves.
Hi Foxy Friends! Today I am showing you how to make your own t-shirt. I have been obsessed making these things...see here, when I made one for all of my friends.
And then I made this one too for some friends as well:
So here is how you make your very own heat transfer vinyl (HTV) shirt of your own.
What you'll need:
*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. Heat Transfer Vinyl (I used White) Tee shirt (my favorite brand of plain tee to use) Craft pick Cricut or cutting machine
Iron
Ironing board
Directions:
Step One
Let's assume you have a cutting machine, or you can hand cut (will take longer), but open program and create the graphic what you want.
Step Two
Measure your shirt to ensure that the image will fit on your shirt.
Step Four
Print out your grahic, don't forget to mirror you image!
Step Five
Weed your HTV, so just the letters are left.
Step 6
Place HTV where you want it on the shirt.
Step 7
Using the a piece of parchment paper, place on top of logo, and iron. Press iron in shirt and hold for about 10 seconds (this time is going to vary for your iron, I find that 10 seconds work for my iron). Do no swipe back and forth, press down, life press down in new spot.
Step 8
Remove parchment paper and remove that clear coating on the HTV, this should leave the letters behind on the shirt. If the letter are peeling off of the shirt, put parchment paper on top, and hold heat on letters for a few seconds more.
Sometimes I have to use my craft pick to help the letter off of the plastic, since we'll be ironing again this is okay.
Step 9
Once the plastic off, place the parchment on the letters again and iron. You can press again, going slowly, making sure the letters are fully adhered to the shirt. You can sometimes see the grain of the shirt on the letters, that's when you know the letters are really on there.
And here is your finished product!
This is pretty much my favorite shirt and how I feel every time I go to the gym, haha. Especially when I take circuit class.
Note: Remember to wash the shirt inside out, this helps the letters last longer. If you find that the letters are starting to peel off, you can place parchment paper on top and iron again.
Now go out and make your own shirt! The sky is your limit now that you know how to do it! Here is a video I put together if you want to see exactly what I did.
Hi Foxy Friends! It's another week of TBB Free Style. Where we wear what we want. Don't worry we're working on some awesome stuff come Fall. This is a dress is from Shein, and I haven't completely decided if I like it. I feel like it's more of a tropical vacation dress because it's quite thin. So let's save it for when I get to Hawaii next year...anyone want to come with us? We're going Summer of 2019.
The bracelet on my wrist is actually my fit bit. Tory Burch teamed up with Fitbit to create some cool bracelets so it doesn't look like you're wearing a Fitbit. I like it.
