Hair Care Haul

I haven’t done a haul in a while, and I hadn’t been planning to either, but I realized that I had managed to pick up a lot of things for my hair so I decided a haul on it would be beneficial.

I picked up the Joico Moisture Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner

The Conair Inifiniti 1 1/4 inch Curling Iron

Sebastian Shaper Zero Gravity Hair Spray

and finally the CHI 44 Iron Guard

I’ll be doing a review on the Shampoo and Conditioner soon because I’ve had it for a while. Have you picked up anything new for your hair? Anything I simply must try?

Spring Luxuries

On Saturday, while we were waiting for Howl to be groomed, I decided to stop in Sephora to see Maxwell and to see if I could get a look at the NARSskin line in person. Unfortunately they didn’t have it, so I’m going to order when their 15% off sale starts. But I still managed to pick up a few necessities.

Actually none of these are necessities. They’re all Princess products, if I’m being honest.

After wandering the store, chatting with Maxwell and trying lip colors. I tried 3 different ones before deciding on Rose by Hourglass

I was torn between this one and Sweety and Satsuma by Bite, but they ended up being to bright, and I just really liked this one.

I also picked up the Jose Maran cleansing oil and Argan oil set at the checkout.

I’ve used the cleansing oil before, I adore it, and I’ve had a sample of the oil before which I liked so these will make a good temporary solution until I order the NARSskin products.

The last thing I picked up is what I’m most excited about. The Marc Jacobs Lolita Palette.
It comes in this lovely pouch

And I took far to many pictures of this palette

But every detail is just so lovely

Down to the liner protecting the shadows

And the shadows themselves are just stunning

I haven’t swatched it yet, because I’m still sick and I just want to wait until I’m feeling better. I’m really excited about this palette, because normally I don’t spend money on eyeshadows. All of the Lancome ones that I use I actually got for free. So this was a complete luxury purchase for me. I’m so in love with this palette, it’s just flawless. I can’t wait to use it, and I hope it lives up to the hype, I’ve heard on youtube. If not I can disappointingly, but thankfully, return it because of Sephora’s amazing return policy.

Now I’m off to watch my brushes and watch something girly on Netflix.

Off to the Market

Last Friday I went out to go to the Library and was sorely disappointed to find that it had closed early. So instead my husband suggested I take a wander around our local market. While there I managed to pick up a few pretty things and I thought I’d share them here.

It was nice to be able to wander around all by my lonesome, and pick out flowers, some pretty drinks and a few books. I know my book buying has been a bit out of hand lately. I can’t say that it’s going to change anytime soon. Though I am going to try and cut it down to one at a time.

I know carnations aren’t considered one of the best flowers, but I adore them and their scent. I thought that these mini pink ones were absolutely darling, and perfect to put in this random empty mason jar I had. The bouquet on the left came home with me because of the interesting vase, pretty colors and the fact that none of those flowers made me sneeze.

I picked up the Izze Sparkling Juices on a whim, because the looked pretty and I’m looking for an alternative to sodas. i don’t usually drink fizzy drinks, but sometimes I just really want one and thought these would fun to try.

Home Things

I have a slight obsession with Target for Home things. It’s probably a really good thing that I live an hour away from my closest Target. I posted this picture on Instagram about 3 weeks ago:

There’s a pretty random assortment of house things in the cart, like the method cleaner/detergent, some hangers, placemats, a new broom and some pot holders, but none of that stuff is super exciting. However there is a sneak peek into what this post is about.

First I was super excited to find some Valentines Day socks, because I don’t know if you know Target socks are my favorite, and the Valentines ones are my very favorite.

The best thing is that they’re are two pairs in each pack, making it super easy for my not matching socks to be the same length as seen here:

These happen to be my favorites

Then I found the mugs that I’ve been seeing around youtube and I only got four of them, but there are 6 designs.

I was confused as to why this tea cup is telling me he loves me a latte, but he’s pink and adorable so I bought him.

Then again this Latte is telling the same Teacup that he’s “my cup of tea” which I only drink tea out of this mug (is that weird?)

I like am a bit doughnut obsessed (they’re my favorite food.) So This one had to come home with me.

And finally my favorite of the bunch is this one:

because on the back it says:

Which is something Howl would totally say if he could talk, and yes I really am that obsessed with my dog, that I bought both dog socks and a dog mug.

Of course you’re wondering why I bought all these mugs. Especially since I had my two favorite anthro mugs, and my heart mug and my Jack Skellington Mug. That’s because my wonderful husband bought us this:

Yep! We finally got a Keurig. His name is Samwise, and I’m obsessed. Especially with the Snapple Peach Iced Tea or the Starbucks Vanilla flavor. But I really want to try the Chocolate Glazed Donut flavor and the Hazelnut Iced Coffee flavor.

Have you bought anything for your house lately? Where’s your favorite place to buy home things?

Blogmas Day 4:

For fun, here’s a picture of my coffee from today. I really do love these and for days I’m extra lazy I can just pick them up in the grocery store. Fashion and Happy Things! Blogmas Day 4:

Today, Howl decided he wanted to go on an adventure. He decided he wanted to go across my yard, down the road, back up the road and through a field. He had such a marvelous time on his Grand Adventure. In the ensuing chase I pulled a muscle in or twisted my ankle as the pain is all the way up to my knee. So now I’m trapped on my couch and he’s taking a nap because he’s worn out from running all over the place.

In better news last night I officially finished my Holiday shopping and anything else I buy now is just extra. I’m quite happy about that. Normally I’m stressed out about holiday shopping until nearly the end of December, but now all that’s left for me to do is wrap presents. So happy, because I love to wrap presents. Of course if Howl continues this behavior, then he will be getting the puppy equivalent of coal, whatever that may be.

Fashion and Happy Things! Blogmas Day 4:

In a completely unrelated topic, I’ve finally decided which shoes to use my Dr. Scholls For Her Cozy Cushions, that I received from Influenster, in. I’ve decided that they will be going in my Pillar Box Red Short Hunter Boots since I originally wanted them to use as snow boots. I’m so excited, and when I finally get a pair of the Hunter Wellie Socks for them they’re going to be the most cozy, snuggly, warm boots ever. Is it sad that I’m excited about cozy insoles? Probably, but whatever, cozy is my motto. For serious.
