HALLELUJAH! It is officially summer break for me and it has been the nicest! We’ve had some rainy days but I’ll take them LOL! Since today is Friday, I’m sharing a few FAVORITES and next week I’ll share what we’ve been up to lately!
One
My first and forever FAVORITE is being home with this guy! We are both out of school for the summer and this past week, I have been soaking up every day with him. This was taken on my last day of school with students and we had our version of field day–a battle of the classes. My mom came over that morning and french braided my hair, and in hindsight, I should have put sunscreen on my part because the sunburn was bad…..haha
Two
I’ve never taken a pre-workout before, but I now realize I should have been taking it during the school year to give me energy. Half a scoop is all I need! This tastes amazing too.
Three
I have TWO new makeup products to share with y’all and both are super cheap! First, this new eyebrow pencil is the best I’ve ever used, and I’m not exaggerating. I’ve used higher end brow pencils like Benefit and Anastasia of Beverly Hills and I 100% feel like this one is the best–and it’s a fraction of the price. The only thing I don’t like is the spooly on the end (I think it’s too hard), so I’ve kept my empty Benefit brow pencil and use that spooly.
I also have used a million different makeup primers. The last one I used was from Smashbox and it was $$$. I was grabbing a new mascara from Walmart and came across this primer and decided to try it out. I do have redness, so I grabbed this one but they have others. I can’t tel a difference from this and the higher end ones, so I will forever use this primer! I put it all on my t-zone and the spread out to my cheeks.
Four
I’ve been doing Weight Watchers for a few months, but I’ve struggled with having sweets. When I did WW the last time after I graduated college and lost so much weight, I had a sweet every single day that I calculated into my day. This time I’ve struggled finding something until I came across this nut butter. It’s only 3 points for 2 TBS and I love putting it on a chocolate rice cake. SO GOOD! They have lots of other flavors (that sounds amazing, too, like a smores) but some of those are 4 and 5 points, so I don’t even tempt myself thinking about those!
I hope y’all have a great weekend!
Yay for summer break! I need to look into that primer – my redness has gotten a little better this year (attribute it to my skincare), but there are still times when I could use it. Gotta love a good deal!
I’m doing WW purple so I appreciate your suggestion. Have you seen the Dove ice cream minis? They are 60 calories and one is enough for me. 3 points on purple!
So excited that you are on summer break with your little love!! It’ll be a great summer for you! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
Yes! I have such a hard time not having at least a tiny sweet each day but it’s so hard to no derail my whole day’s worth of points for it! In the summer I reach for the Enlightened frozen yogurt bars– Peanut butter chip and Cold Brew are both just 3 points each.
Whoohoo summer break is here. Mama and Harrison are going to have so much fun! Love your braids and how I need that nut butter.
What type of sharpener do you sharpen the brow pencil with?
I just use one I bought from Sephora that has two different pencil sizes. I think it was only $6!
I know you’re enjoying every single second of being off with your sweet Harrison! Soak it up, momma!
WaHooooo!
Summer Break. What a great feeling. I am doing a lil bit of SummerSchool but my last day of work for this school year will be Friday!
Looking forward to time at home.
