Friday Favorites
June is quickly flying by and so far we have packed in a weekend getaway, a baseball trip to San Antonio, a 7 on 7 tourney and 25 hours of dance class! This weekend we have both baseball and 7 on 7 football plus a mom and son date night with our besties to see the new Cars movie! Even though there is tons of running around there is still something just so sweet about summer. We stay up too late for sure but I love those late night talks and 10pm Sonic runs. How is your summer shaping up?
Here are a few things I’m loving right now!
My skin is quite dry anyway but add in the summer heat and those late nights when I skip a few days washing my face and my skin starts looking so dull. My friend, Tanya, mentioned the Clinique moisture surge masque a few months back and I ordered right away. My favorite part about this masque is you rub it in and leave it all night long. It’s been a huge addition to my skincare a few times a week.
The next morning I wake up and use my favorite micro-dermabrasion paste to gently exfoliate and I have a great glow and feel like my skin is totally refreshed. This jar typically last me 6-8 months if not longer. This was the very first R+F product I tried and used it for a year before adding any other products.
Here I am sans all makeup fresh from a workout! If it were not for my dark circles I really do think I would go without makeup more often. I really wish I had a before picture of my neck too. That is one area I have really seen my age creep into my skin and it was driving me crazy. I finally started using the amp roller paired with the newest R+F product, active hydration serum, and I cannot believe the change in only a few uses.
I haven’t had any magazine subscriptions in awhile but thanks to Money Saving Mom I snagged a few super cheap and summer is my favorite for a little mindless browsing I happened across these Cambiami sandals and had to share with you guys! Are they pricey….well sort of, but the idea is peaking my interest.
Seriously, y’all, how cute is Dawn Lucy from Fashion Should Be Fun?!! I mean, the dress, the bag….her outfits are always just so fun. She celebrated a birthday yesterday and you should totally stop by her blog and wish her well.
A big shout out to Nicole from High Latitude Style for featuring me as one of the 7 Texan Style Bloggers over 40 you should know! You should check out the rest!

Have a great weekend!! Summers here are busy with sports but as long as I get one lazy day at home I’m happy!! 🙂
I’m super excited we at least get to sleep in…no game until 3!
I want to hear how the movie is- was considering taking the kids to see it. Those sandals sound awesome- what a great idea!
Will do….I’ll let ya know!
Hottie! So in love with your looks this week sweet girl! Even featured you today at TBB. You have the best time this weekend, I know it’s busy but so worth it, so savor every second!
Thanks for the sweet shout out Andrea! Hope your weekend is as kind to you as you are to everyone you encounter…like seriously!
I just got a sample of that serum haven’t tried it yet though. I want those sandals, they look so dang cute and the fact that you can switch them out…heck ya!
I’ve been pretty darn pleased with the results so far Sarah….give it a go!
The picture of 2 different shoes makes me smile every.time. Oh how I love my micro-dermabrasion paste. It’s simply the best and yes the AMP roller with the Active Hydration Serum is awesome. Are you using it on your face too or just your neck? So yes, those sandals have me totally intrigued. I swear I used to love getting magazines, but blogs are now my magazines. I’ve subscribed to a few and just don’t like reading them the way I used to. Have a great weekend. And congrats on being featured as one of the seven. So exciting!!!
Micro-dermabrasion paste is my very fave…I always feel it’s the perfect product to use when I’ve neglected my face a bit. I use the amp as often as I remember…I need a better solution for all my products. I can’t stand having them all out on the counter all the time but don’t have a solution at the moment for keeping all together. I am using both on my face and my neck right now. Hope you have a super weekend Lisa!
I am obsessed with the R+F self tanner but a few months ago I started also using the eye cream twice a day and I’m so please with how moisturized my under eyes have been! I hope to add in more products in the future!

It definitely makes a difference for me…..IF I use it! haha
Girl, if my skin looked like that without makeup I’d go without it all the time! You look so fresh-faced! And I might have already mentioned this before, but the shape of your eyes is just gorgeous!
Well you are a day maker! I am just so uber self conscious about my dark circles. It’s seriously why, even with makeup, I’m so often wearing sunglasses in my pictures. While I don’t see them on myself constantly I always think in pictures they are so much more noticeable. I have my dads eyes….so that comment makes me smile. 🙂
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, I love the relaxed vibe of Summer too and not just because I don’t have to work but also because the kids don’t have school. Okay but really it’s probably because I don’t have to work, lol!
Your skin without make up looks great! Beautiful girl you are !
xo,
Kellyann
Seriously….I just keep thinking I’m going to take a few days off just to get a few things done and feel caught up enough at home to relax! And you are sweet…..I have really been trying to be diligent about washing my face and using my products. This time of year really seems to do a number on my skin.
You have the greatest style! A good friend of mine just started selling R+F and I’ve been debating on what to try. Good recommendations!
You are soooooo sweet Erica! I’ll let you in on a secret…I’m still winging it. 🙂 So many great products but I love these so much!
A sure sign of summer mode are those late nights! I can’t wait!!
The best!
I have to order that Clinique asap. Have a great weekend !
Kimm it has really helped this old skin soooooo much! Have a great weekend.
This is our first week of having no set plans and I couldn’t be happier. I am eager to embrace a bit of a lazy week.
Hope you guys were lazy and just enjoyed being back together Stephanie!
I am loving the mother son date night, that is so stinking sweet. I hope y’all find some rest in the busy weekend you’re having.
We had so much fun Beth! I didn’t care for the movie much but I loved spending some time with him.
Girl, your outfit game is just on point. All your ensembles are goals.
These brands are also fantastic.
Well thank you! You know how it is….some months (or seasons) outfits just come together easier than others!
Darling, you are cute whether your shoes match or not.
Love Dawn Lucy’s dress. Pinned it and drooled over it, wrote her a note, and pasted it all over my FB page. Payday come on!!!
Dawn Lucy just has the best style and I can only imagine she is just a breath of fresh air to hang out with!
I have some R+F products but not those two. I’m with you: my neck is showing my age!
Your skin looks so good…positively glowing! I seriously don’t see dark circles so don’t be too hard on yourself. I’m back in town and look forward to catching up with your blog. 🙂
