Hey! Look at all the changes! I decided to be adventurous and change the design of my blog a bit. It's still a work in progress, but I'm really enjoying this new look!

So today I thought I would share a few the things I've been loving lately.

1. Febreze Air Effects air freshener in Greek Seaside. This was a bit of an impulse purchase from Target that I do not regret AT ALL! It's not like my home is super smelly, but I really enjoy when things smell fresh and clean. And after testing all the febrezes in the Target isle, I decided this was the winner. It. Is. Fantastic. Imagine taking a vacation to the ocean where the salty sea air embraces your soul and cleanses your mind. That is this air freshener.

2. All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. Ooh this book. This is one of those books that makes you think a little deeper about life in general and it's just a good story. And that is all I will say about it so no spoilers happen. (Shout out to my wonderful friend Shelby for sending me this book!!)

3. 20 oz water bottle by Zulu. Another great purchase from Target. I had been searching for a big girl water bottle I could bring to work and this fit the ticket. It is a glass bottle (which I think is way awesome) that is protected by the pink rubbery casing. I remember the tag on the bottle said something like, "Water tastes better from a glass!" or something like that and I would have to agree. I also really like the 20 ounce size. I only have to drink about 3 of these and I have had my healthy dose of water for the day! And as you can see, the color is awesome.

4. iPad mini. Nathan practically had to drag me to the store to get this little guy. Which sounds insane, I know. He knew I wanted one, but I didn't want to get one quite yet because they aren't exactly the cheapest, but after some convincing we went to Target (can you tell we spend a lot of time there?) and just did it. IT IS SO CUTE! I also have a little keyboard case for it and when it's all together it's like the world's most adorable laptop and I love it.

5. Sunbelt Bakery Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip granola bars. I love every granola bar by Sunbelt Bakery, but we bought these ones recently and it has been my snack of choice lately. And this is super strange, but I love the wrappers they use on their granola bars. It seems to have a matte finish rather than a shiny or glossy finish like the Chewy granola bars? I don't know. I guess it just makes me feel fancy.

6. Strange Desire by Bleachers. Rollercoaster is the best song. When it plays I turn it up and all I want to do is jump around and dance my little heart out. Or do aerobics. . . It really would be a wonderful aerobics/cardio workout song.

7. Amazonian clay BB tinted moisturizer by Tarte in Ivory.  I actually bought this last summer, but have only been using it off and on since then. For awhile I was using the Maybelline Fit Me foundation (which I really like too), but it dried out my skin a little too much for my liking. I hated coming home from work and seeing how dehydrated and flaky my skin looked after wearing the Maybelline foundation all day, so I took the Tarte one out again a gave it a shot. LIFE CHANGING! I have been using it every day for the past couple weeks and I can totally see a difference in my skin. Since it's a tinted moisturizer it doesn't provide as much coverage as a normal foundation, but your skin feels SO much better while wearing it. Especially if you wear makeup during those long 9 hour work days like I do. And it just makes your skin look good! I've heard so many people describe the look of Amazonian clay products as "your skin, but better" and it's so true. My skin no longer looks like it's screaming for moisture at the end of the day, and I swear it has some magical ingredient that has cleared up my skin a bit as well. Annnnndddddd it has SPF, which is an absolute must for me for any moisturizer I purchase. Run to Ulta and buy yourself some of this greatness!!!!

8. Apt 9 Long Chevron Necklace from Kohl's. Things I like about this necklace: the geometric look, the cool stone thing in the triangle, it dresses up any plain old t-shirt, it was on sale. Enough said.

9. Cool Amazon Rain body lotion by Bath & Body Works. Again with the Amazon! My sister-in-law generously gave me this lotion and I love the light, clean, and slightly fruity scent. I think it's perfect for summer. I've been using it as a hand lotion every night for weeks.
