</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you read my post from last week, you will know that I have been struggling for months with hormonal, "mommy acne," and discovered <a href="https://www.perfectlyposh.com/start?pref=680001" target="_blank">Perfectly Posh</a> which has forever changed my life in the skincare realm. My skin has pretty much cleared up, balanced out, and feels amazing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a look at what I have been using regularly on my face:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My morning skincare routine is now very simple and easy to manage. I use the <a href="https://www.perfectlyposh.com/nataliewaters/look-natural/delish-sulfate-free-foaming-face-wash" target="_blank">Delish Foaming Facewash</a> to cleanse my face first thing in the morning. It doesn't dry my skin
out and it doesn't leave my skin oily throughout the day either. It has
helped balance my skin and is very gentle and refreshing first thing in
the morning. After I cleanse my face I then use the <a href="https://www.perfectlyposh.com/nataliewaters/pretty-face/moisturize-911-caffeinated-face-creme" target="_blank">Moisturize 911 Caffeinated Face Creme</a> to moisturize my face. This moisturizer really does brighten and awaken the face. I like to use it first thing in the morning to help wake my skin up and give my skin a brighter complexion. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At night after I take my makeup off I use my <a href="https://www.perfectlyposh.com/nataliewaters/best-sellers/complexion-perfection-face-wash" target="_blank">Complexion Perfection Exfoliating Facewash</a> to cleanse my skin. This facewash is a mild exfoliating facewash with peppermint and it feels AMAZING, tt has definitely helped my breakouts! After cleansing I then use <a href="https://www.perfectlyposh.com/nataliewaters/pretty/spotless" target="_blank">Spotless Face Pads</a> as like a toner and get any leftover makeup, dirt, oil all over my face and neck...these work great! Then I use <a href="https://www.perfectlyposh.com/nataliewaters/best-sellers/night-day-olive-and-lavender-moisturizer" target="_blank">Night and Day Moisturizer</a> to moisturize my face and neck. This moisturizer is a little heavier then my morning one but I like that for nighttime because my skin can be really oily in some areas and really dry in others and this moisturizer really helps balance that over night. Then after that I use </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.perfectlyposh.com/nataliewaters/pretty-face/zit-zapper" target="_blank">Zit Zapper</a><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u> </u></span>for spot treating and this thing really does "zap" and get rid of blemishes over night! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Weekly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(2-3 times a week)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="https://www.perfectlyposh.com/best-sellers/bff-best-face-forever-exfoliating-face-wash" target="_blank">BFF Facewash</a> is great for exfoliating a few times a week. When I was using it everyday, morning and night, it was a little too heavy for my super-oily, acne prone skin to handle. But using it 2-3 times a week has been golden! I have concocted the perfect skincare regimen and love how this has been working for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are battling hormonal, mom acne I would definitely give some of these products a try and see how they work for you! Shop <a href="https://www.perfectlyposh.com/start?pref=680001" target="_blank">here</a>! </div>

Well it's no surprise that I have been MIA for a little while and it's for good reason...LIFE got in the way. My mom had an accident and went through surgery and is still undergoing physical therapy and during this whole time I have been taking care of her, a rambunctious toddler, and trying to fit any sort of me time in between my husband being on-call during this crazy summer heat. Things have started lightening up and I have been able to fit more me time in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During these past few months, my stress, diet, exercise have just been so scattered and crazy that I was also starting to get really bad hormonal acne. Gross, I know, but I tried so many things like cutting dairy almost completely out of my diet, switching skincare products and trying drugstore, high end, and even home remedies to help. Nothing was really helping 100%, so what did I do, I got on Pinterest and started looking up products to use for hormonal acne, and somehow or another I came across this company called <a href="http://www.perfectlyposh.com/nataliewaters" target="_blank">Perfectly Posh</a>. There were a ton of reviews for acne, especially adult and hormonal acne. The company has fun products that are made in the USA, naturally-based, cruelty free, with vegan options too. I couldn't believe the cuteness in the packaging, the wide assortment of products and everything was under $25. After researching a little more I also discovered that it is a direct sell company and you could make it a business if you wanted to. I went back and forth, researched the company and products a ton, reached out to other consultants, watched Youtube videos and asked some friends and family what they thought before making the decision to join on. I decided it would be a better deal to join and buy the starter kit to get a feel for a variety of the products to see if they worked and if I would actually like them. And boy can I tell you my life has forever been changed! The first time I tried the facewash and moisturizer that came in my kit, I could see a difference the next morning! My breakouts were starting to clear up and I was in love with everything I tried.<br />

I have started this new pampering journey in order to make more me time and do something fun for myself and for my friends and family. I love to pamper and spoil and this gives me an excuse to really have some girl time! If you want to know more about the products and the company head on over to my <a href="http://www.perfectlyposh.com/nataliewaters" target="_blank">website</a> and my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/516908175140527/" target="_blank">Facebook Group Page </a>to see what it's all about. I will be doing more reviews on Posh products because they are fabulous and really work! </div>

<span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption"> I have to say the BFF face wash is amazing and makes your skin feel great, I love to use in the shower and let the hot steam really work with the cleanser to get deep into my pores. I've had a
really hard time with moisturizers over the years and the Night and Day
moisturizer is exactly what I had been hunting for! The eye serum has
already helped my "mommy gets no rest" under eye circles too! Can't go
wrong with this combo :) </span></span></div>

<i>Fashion</i><br />
<i>Everything is from Target </i><br />
I have been living in all three of these pieces! They were perfect for the March weather we had. This sweater dress is so comfortable and was my go-to piece when I didn't feel like thinking too much about what I was going to wear. This floral spring scarf is so lightweight and colorful which made it the perfect layering piece for my jeans and t-shirts. These gold sandals are from last year and I still find them to be the most comfortable sandal I probably own and goes with almost everything. <i> </i><br />

<i>Beauty </i></div>
Too Faced Chocolate bronzer/contour in Chocolate Soleil<br />
This has been my go to bronzer and contour lately and I love that it smells like chocolate :)<br />
<br />
Bare Minerals Flawless Definition Mascara<br />
I have been doing a really quick and easy makeup routine lately just because I have been more busy and this mascara is so easy to put on and doesn't clump up.<br />
<br />
ELF Makeup Setting Spray<br />
I have seen a ton of beauty gurus using this spray to help set everything and keep your makeup lasting longer. I saw this a while back at Target and decided to give it a try and am super impressed so far. ELF has quickly become one of my favorite inexpensive brands to use and this setting spray has become part of my everyday makeup routine. It works when I use just my powder foundation and when I use heavier liquids. If you need help with your makeup lasting longer, then definitely try this stuff. You can find ELF at Target and Walmart and everything is like under $6 which is awesome! <br />
<br />
Simple Micellar Water<br />
I was a little apprehensive about trying this at first but saw a ton of reviews on it and people seem to really like the formula. I have found that I prefer to use this in the morning to get all the gunk and residue from my night cream without having to do a really long and heavy cleansing routine first thing in the morning. It claims to take off makeup and cleanse and moisturize...which I agree with, however I do not like to use this to get ALL my makeup off. I use a wipe first to get most of my makeup off, then my cleanser, and then this to get an excess off my skin. <br />

<i>Household</i> <br />
Windex Cleaner<br />
I found this on a clearance isle at my local grocery store and decided to give it a try and this is now my regular kitchen cleaner. A few pumps on a paper towel and I can scrub everything!<br />
<br />
Method Dish Soap<br />
I have heard so many people talk about this brand at Target and when I saw this on sale one week I decided to try it out. I love that this dish soap has a pump! How long did it take for a company to figure that one out?! And this limited edition scent freshens up my whole kitchen when I do the dishes. Can't wait to try some other Method products.<br />
<br />
Tide Fresh and Clean<br />
I have been buying this Tide for months now usually at CVS because periodically I see it on super sale (like $2) and I stock up with my extra care bucks. I love the smell of this detergent and it's been working really well so far.<br />
<br />

For my mom cave (home office/craft room) I needed a 3 drawer storage container that would fit on my bookshelf or desk for some of my crafting supplies. I found a white plastic Sterilite container from Target for $4.99 and used some extra spray paint from my <a href="http://polkadots-and-pampers.blogspot.com/2015/02/diy-painted-filing-cabinet.html" target="_blank">filing cabinet makeover.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This looks so much better then just the plain white and so quick and easy...it's amazing what just a little spray paint can do :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Something I try and do regularly (and by regularly, I mean maybe once a month if I'm lucky) is give myself a manicure and a pedicure. There is something about taking just a little bit of time to pamper yourself and actually get to finish something from start to finish with no interruptions. So when I do actually find the time, here are some of my favorite nail products to use:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sally Hansen Moisturizing Nail Polish Remover</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This stuff is great! It's doesn't dry out your skin or feel as harsh on your nails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sally Hansen Ultimate Shield Base + Top Coat </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the best base and top coat in one that I've tried. I use this as a base and top coat on my toes and just as a base on my nails. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wet n' Wild Megalast Nail Polish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is by far the best nail polish ever! It's only $1.99 and in my opinion looks so much better on and lasts so much longer then other more expensive nail polishes and I love the applicator brush. I usually do a light neutral shade on my fingers and a bright and bold color on my toes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay so the very first time I used this was with the Revlon Colorstay gel nail color (it's one of those 2 part systems without the uv light from the drugstore) and the whole thing was just awful! After 3 hours my nails still were not dry and it was just gooey and I had to just take it off. But a few weeks ago I tried just using the gel top coat with my regular nail routine and the results were amazing. My nails did not chip for 4 days, which is a big thing with a very active toddler and doing the dishes 2-3 times a day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good Pair of Nail Clippers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have no idea where I got these huge gold nail clippers, but they are awesome! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are some of your nail favorites?</div>

What's a more classic piece for spring then a khaki trench coat?! Such a classic item in general to have in your wardrobe for spring and fall, the classic trench is the perfect piece for those chillier spring days and has unlimited outfit combinations. Black and white and vibrant coral/red are a great color combination to add to your wardrobe this spring. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I received my Walgreens #DiscoverNewFavorites Voxbox to review a few days ago and am so excited to share my first box from <a href="https://www.influenster.com/" target="_blank">Influenster</a> with you and the two products I tried out. As you may know by now if you follow my blog, Dove soap and body wash has been an all time favorite of mine for years. I had actually been wanting to try this new scent but hadn't purchased it yet and I was really excited when I opened my box. I have been using Dove body wash religiously for YEARS, I love it so much that I even have a little stock pile growing thanks to couponing. This revitalizing body wash feels so luxurious on the skin and actually leaves your skin clean and moisturized after you get out of the shower and the citrus and flower scent is so nice and refreshing which makes it the perfect body wash for the spring and summer. I have naturally oily skin and this body wash works great for that, I've never felt like my body was oily throughout the day and my skin hasn't felt dry or stripped of anything either. Try it out if you're interested, I almost guarantee you will never go back to any other body wash or soap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also received this new Intensive Care Healing Serum from Vaseline in my box. I haven't really tried any Vaseline products at all, but I have been seeing some of their new products around in stores and have been intrigued in trying them. My arms, elbows, hands and feet are the driest parts of my body and this winter had my skin at its ultimate driest. I tried this after I took a shower and put it on those dry areas and completely fell in love with the formula, it's the quickest drying lotion I've ever tried. I felt really moisturized but not sticky and it drys super fast. The only thing I don't like is the scent. It doesn't have a description of the scent and it doesn't claim to be fragrance free but the scent is a little too much for me...it's a very strong, mature floral scent to it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always find it very interesting to see what products other people have actually used up and what they really think of them and whether or not they would repurchase. So here's a look at some of the products I have used up from January until now:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bath and Body Works Hand Soap and Candle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband got me a stocking full of the "Merry Cookie" scent for Christmas and by February I had already used up 2 hand sanitizers, the candle, and the foaming hand soap. I love anything cookie, vanilla, or cupcake scented/flavored and he loaded me up this past Christmas and I can't believe I'm already out of half of the things he got for me. The other soap is the "Love Peach and Joy" scent that we used up in our bathroom. It was a nice fruity/cake scent that was used up quickly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Batiste Dry Shampoo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you all know this is one of my all time favorite beauty products. I use this stuff all the time and the tropical coconut scent was an awesome one to try. Can't say enough good things about this dry shampoo and I haven't come across a scent I haven't liked. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aussie Moist Shampoo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a nice little stock pile of this shampoo in my bathroom cabinet thanks to CVS extra car bucks and coupons. This shampoo was great this past winter to keep my hair and scalp moisturized during the very dry season we had. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Degree Motion Sense Deodorant</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This has quickly become my favorite deodorant and I also have a nice stockpile of this thanks to coupons :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Revlon Colorstay</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used up two concealers and the powder foundation. The concealers are two of my absolute favorite of all time drugstore concealers. They are very comparable to MAC concealer if not better, in my opinion. The liquid I use under my foundation and the solid stick I use over top for touch-ups. This past winter I did not use the powder too much as just a foundation since my skin was extremely dry, that's when I started experimenting with different liquid foundations and found a new favorite from Covergirl which I talked about <a href="http://polkadots-and-pampers.blogspot.com/2015/02/first-impression-cover-girl-outlast.html" target="_blank">here</a>. But I did use the rest of this powder as a setting powder and for a little extra coverage or on days when I was feeling super lazy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
CVS Brand Apricot Exfoliating Wipes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These wipes are also an all time favorite of mine and I will continue to re-purchase these time and time again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'd love to know what products you've tried out or used up recently and what you think of them :)</div>

With the last (hopefully) cold spell we have had before spring is in full bloom, what a better time to wear some of your heavier pieces with a spring twist. One of my favorite pieces from this past winter were these blush corduroy pants from LOFT. A great way to wear your cords for spring is to pair them with a simple t-shirt, light color flats or sandals, denim jacket, and a lightweight scarf. Such a cute and comfortable way to transition to spring. </div>

This is my go-to makeup routine on any given day that I have been doing for years. Up until the past few months, I preferably used powder foundations because they worked better for my oily skin and application wise they are just easier. I could make it as light or as full coverage as I wanted to without looking cakey. However this past winter had me with the driest skin I have ever had and powder foundation just wasn't cutting it, so I have been experimenting with some liquid foundations and have found a great foundation for my skin: Almay Clear Complexion Blemish Healing makeup. I really love it and will talk more about it below. So here is everything else I use:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Loreal Derm-Expertise Transformance Skin Perfecting Solution with Vitamin C<br />
I picked this up on sale one day at a discount store and was really intrigued to try it. I use it on my face after I put on my moisturizer and before I put my makeup on, kind of like a primer. It really smooths my skin and gives it this matte-velvety finish and feel to it that makes my makeup look flawless. Since I'm not a big fan of actual makeup primers, this product acts like a primer to me but also helps keep it nourished while my makeup is on.<br />
<br />
Almay Clear Complexion Blemish Healing Foundation<br />
This foundation is supposed to help treat your blemishes and help prevent new ones. This foundation is definitely not full covereage, I would say light covereage, however, it is buildable so you can make it as light or as full coverage as you want without the cakey feel to it. It works great for my combination-oily skin and doesn't settle into any of my fine lines around my mouth and eyes. It has helped my blemishes and really feels great on the skin. I love this foundation for everyday because it is quick to apply with my foundation brush and I love the way it looks on my skin. <br />
<br />
Revlon Colorstay Concealor<br />
This has been a go-to of mine for years. It covers great and stays on all day. <br />
<br />
Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser in the Brightening Shade<br />
This stuff is amazing! I use this of course under my eyes but also as additional highlight on my forehead, chin, nose, and cheek bones. <br />
<br />
Revlon Colorstay Powder Foundation<br />
This is my favorite powder foundation. I use this to set my foundation to give me a little extra coverage and on days when I'm really in a rush and don't have time to mess with liquid foundation. When used alone it is light-medium, build-able coverage and has a flawless finish. <br />
<br />
Hard Candy Contour Kit (Blush, Bronzer, and Highlight)<br />
This is an all-in-one product for convenience and I love the colors and the finish. <br />
<br />
NYX Eyebrow kit<br />
This eyebrow kit is very quick and easy to use and the color matches perfectly. <br />
<br />
Revlon Color Stay Eye Quad<br />
If you've noticed a pattern, Revlon Colorstay is one of my absolute favorites. These eye quads have so many different color options and I love this one for a natural, everyday look. <br />
<br />
Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner in Black Brown<br />
I love a nice black brown eyeliner for everyday because brown seems to be too light and black is just too harsh for everyday.<br />
<br />
Maybelline Sensational Mascara (use to use Loreal Voluminous Lash in the gold tube)<br />
Love the volume and the staying power of this mascara, it doesn't flake off throughout the day. <br />
<br />
Maybelline Sensational Lipstick in Nearly There and Bare Escentuals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss<br />
These two products have such a nice natural color to them that work for any occasion that make them the perfect go-to everyday lip products for me. <br />
<br />
Elf HD Undereye setting powder<br />
This powder really helps my under eye concealor set and prevents settling into my fine lines.<br />
<br />
Elf Makeup Setting Spray<br />
Love this stuff! It really helps set everything and helps my makeup last longer while also giving your skin a nice cooling affect.<br />
<br />
Foundation Brush, Stippling Brush, Bronzer/Blush Brush, Powder Brush<br /><br />
<br />

When shopping in the Fall and Winter I always tend to forget about corduroy. But this year I have been loving my rose colored pair I picked up from Loft after Christmas. They are so comfortable and the rose color has been so lovely this winter. I love pairing them with a nice button down and a sweater with my suede booties. Very classic, comfortable, and mommy friendly!</div>

Cream Sweater<br />
This Sweater has been a go-to piece of mine all winter long. It is so comfortable and I love the nice, soft cream color of this one from Target. I wear at least once a week (I'll admit there are some weeks I have worn it twice :-P)<br />
<br />

Gold Sneakers<br />
These gold sneakers from Old Navy have been my staple this month. They are so comfortable and go with almost everything I have...not to mention they are gold!<br />
<br />

Metallic Nail Polish<br />
(Essie "Buy Me a Cameo")<br />
I have been
in love with metallic nail polish this past month. It is such a low
maintenance manicure I can do for myself at home at any time really. It
doesn't matter if my nails aren't perfectly filed and the perfect length
or even if you do the most perfect job applying it, metallic nail
polish looks great no matter what. I don't have a lot of time to sit a
make my nails perfect so being able to just quickly apply something that
is pretty and fun without having to spend a lot of time preparing and
perfecting is exactly what I was looking for.<br />
<br />
<br />

Nexxus Touchable Hold Finishing Mist<br />
This has been the ultimate hairspray I have been looking for for years. It is so lightweight but really helps keep the style.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First Aid Beauty Hand Cream and Aquaphor<br />
My skin has been so dry this winter and these two products have literally saved it. The FAB hand cream keeps my skin hydrated without making it greasy. The Aquaphor is a product I have been using on and off for a few years and it really keeps my lips and really dry patches super moisturized.<br />
<br />

Kate Spade Makeup Bag<br />
I scored this beauty from TJMaxx for a steal! I love using this to put my makeup essentials in when I'm running late or on the go and have to apply my makeup on the fly.<br />
<br />
<b>ENTERTAINMENT</b> <br />
<i>Music</i><br />
Ed Sheeran "Thinking Out Loud"<br />
Bruno Mars "Uptown Funk"<br />
Any time these songs come on they always get stuck in my head for the rest of the day, which isn't a bad thing because I really like both of the songs. Lilly loves "uptown funk," she dances and wiggles and laughs every time it comes on...it's so funny!<br />
<br />
<i>TV Shows</i><br />
State of Affairs<br />
How to Get Away with Murder<br />
19 Kids and Counting<br />
Completely obsessed with State of Affairs on NBC and HTGAWM on ABC! They both ended last month and I really hope they bring State of Affairs back because it was so good! HTGAWM is just a jaw dropping hot mess and I love it! I've always been a viewer of 19 Kids and Counting and it started back up again last month. It's just one of those shows I enjoy watching. <br />
<br />
<br />
So what were some of your favorite things as of lately?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Garnier Pure Clean Shampoo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This
shampoo is a great shampoo to reset your hair. You know the times when
you wash your hair but when you dry it and style it you still feel like
there's a lot of past products left in your hair or it doesn't
feel super clean and refreshed...well this shampoo is great for really
cleaning your hair. I use this once a week to really reset everything
and it has worked wonders. </div>
<br />
Clear Total Care Shampoo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This line of shampoo and conditioners has been a staple of mine for years!! My hair hasn't been healthier since I started using this years ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been using this stuff on and off since college and it is just always a go-to product of mine that always works. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kuikui Oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This really tames the frizz, poofiness, and flyaways and protects from humidity. </div>
<br />
It's a 10 Miracle Leave in Treatment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't tell you how much I love this stuff. It's an all-in-one product that still works for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nexxuss Comb Through Touchable Hold Hair Spray</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked this up in a travel size just to try it out and I have to say this is the ultimate hairspray I have been looking for for a long time! It's light but still holds the style without feeling like I have hairspray on my hair. LOVE IT!<br />

Here is the hairdryer and flat iron I use. Nothing fancy or special about these...they were both bargain buys at either TJMaxx or Marshalls. I really like the hairdryer but could use a new flat iron...any suggestions on a good one that isn't pricey?</div>

I am always turning to Pinterest for inspiration, recipes, and creative
ideas for my family and I love seeing all the creativity floating
around. Here are some of my favorite looks from Pinterest that have inspired me the past month in choosing my daily outfit...<br />
<br />
<img alt="love this look" class="pinImage" height="400" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/76/74/71/76747132b1d7f157cc21934ff0bde2b9.jpg" width="265" /> <img alt="Like Christmas. #Plaid #Scarf #Sweater #Bag #Bracelets #Grown #Up #Grunge" class="pinImg fullBleed loaded" height="400" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/25/77/ab/2577ab2e52be25b11654e115ae81e7c4.jpg" width="266" /><br />
<br />
Cream Cable Knit Sweater and Plaid Shirt<br />
I have been obsessing over this combo all winter long! This sweater has been the ultimate go-to sweater of mine and I love how it looks with a pop of plaid underneath paired with a great jean and good pair of boots!<br />

Cargo Jacket and Leopard Scarf<br />
I love this effortless and
casual look on the days when I don't really feel like trying but want to
be put together (if that makes any sense). It's a combination that I
don't have to think about and this was one of my favorite looks from
last month. I could wear this combo everyday! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've had a navy and white polka dot blouse from Old Navy in my closet for a while now and only have worn it one other time. I was browsing through pinterest to find some ideas on different ways I could wear it and I loved this image I found with a dark green and camel color. I had a dark evergreen color pair of pants from Walmart and a long camel cardigan from Target that I paired with my blouse and to venture into mixing prints I added my leopard flats from Target to complete the whole look. I think this was my favorite look from the entire month! </div>

So this past weekend we went out to one of the local farmer's markets around us and had so much fun. It wasn't freezing and the sun peeked out every now and then. It was the perfect day for a light sweatshirt, my favorite cargo jacket, a pop of animal print and my new sneakers that I am literally obsessed with, I wear them almost every day! Cozy and stylish at it's best for the both of us. Lilly had a blast seeing all the doggies and chickens and she even played with some other kids and danced to the one-man-band that was there. We had a very yummy lunch, scored a couple of sweet treats and took home a good amount of fresh veggies. </div>

This bag is my favorite bag to use right now and it's from Walmart! I did not see it online, but it is in stores and comes in a variety of colors. I have a love affair with crossbody satchels these days and this one is the perfect size. I love the black with the gold hardware and tortoiseshell faux buckle on the front. It is perfect to carry my needs and the little bit I carry for Lilly (who is 18 months now). Since Lilly turned one I really haven't been carrying a big diaper bag that much anymore. Since I really didn't need to carry that much for her anymore I started switching to just some of my regular handbags and made sure I had enough room for a couple of diapers and wipes. I also have an "emergency car bag" that has a nice stockpile of diapers and wipes, change of clothes, and anything else I may need when we are out, but having to carry it in my everyday bag at all times is not necessary anymore. </div>

<br />
<b> Morning</b><br />
<br />
Dove Body Wash<br />
I use this every time I take a shower in the mornings. I have been such a huge fan of Dove soap and Dove body wash for years now. My skin feels so clean and moisturized without feeling like there's a residue on it.<br />
<br />
Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Cleanser<br />
This cleanser I've also been using for about a year now and I absolutely love it. This is a cleanser that actually works and makes my skin look and feel absolutely amazing. <br />
<br />
CVS Exfoliating Apricot Wipes<br />
These wipes I typically use at night to get some of my makeup off, but some days when I'm in a pinch for time or am just super exhausted, I use these on my face and they make my skin feel cleansed and awake. <br />
<br />
Olay Face Moisturizer<br />
I still haven't found like a "Holy-Grail" moisturizer that really works on my skin, but this moisturizer has been a go-to of mine for the past few years. I always go back to this one because it does work on my oily skin and doesn't leave a residue on my face either, it really does soak into the skin.<br />
<br />
Honest Company Lavendar Mint Lip Balm<br />
This lip balm is so moisturizing! Use it by itself or as a base before applying your main lip product. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.qvc.com/Josie-Maran-Argan-Oil-Hand-Cream-Duo.product.A262115.html?sc=A262115-SRCH&cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-14-_-A262115&catentryImage=http://images.qvc.com/is/image/a/15/a262115.001?$uslarge$" target="_blank">Josie Maran Argan Oil Hand Cream</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After I put my makeup up on wash my hands really good I love to put on a hand cream to moisturize my hands in the morning. This hand cream is so soft and soaks in really fast so you you're not walking around with greasy hands afterward.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Nightime</b><br />
<br />
<b> </b>Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Face Wash with my Clarisonic<br />
I use my Clarisonic every night to really deep clean my face and get all the makeup, dirt, excess oil and dead skin off my face. My Clarisonic has dramatically improved my skin and has faded a lot of my scaring. I use to use it once a week, but at the beginning of this year started using it every night and what a difference it has made!<br />
<br />
Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Toner<br />
I love this toner! It is light and doesn't completely dry out my skin but really helps give it that extra clean feeling. I use this toner down my neck and on my chest too to make sure I'm getting and excess dirt and oil off my skin.<br />
<br />
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Face and Eye Serum<br />
I've talked about these before <a href="http://polkadots-and-pampers.blogspot.com/2014/07/mommy-favorites-june.html" target="_blank">here.</a><b> </b>I'm still loving them and they have improved my skin so much. <br />
<br />
Estee Lauder Hydrationist Cream Moisturizer<br />
This moisturizer I have been using all winter because my skin has been unbearably dry. I tend to have really oily/combination skin, however this winter has been the driest winter I have ever experienced. This moisturizer I only use at night because it is super hydrating and kind of greasy(takes a super long time to set into the skin and still has a greasy feel). If I use it in the morning my skin is way to oily and my makeup doesn't sit on it properly. So I use it at night to really moisturize my skin while I sleep and my skin looks and feels really hydrated when I wake up.<br />
<br />
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Crean<br />
I use this on my hands, arms, feet...really anywhere I feel like my skin is super dry before I go to bed and it's really been helping with the dryness and itchiness that my skin has right now. <br />
<br />
Clinique Acne Treatment<br />
I got this as a sample and once my skin started breaking out a lot I started using this at night to see if it helped. I'm telling you this stuff works wonders overnight! Within 2-3 days my really stubborn under the skin breakouts were gone and little breakouts disappeared. I think I might have to purchase this product! <br />

<b>Weekly </b><br />
<b> </b> <br />
Apricot Scrub<br />
I use this scrub in the shower about twice a week and exfoliate my whole body with it. Apricot scrub is something I've been using since high school and it's always been a skincare staple for me.<br />
<br />
Green Mask<br />
This mask is amazing! I don't even know where I got this or how (I think it might have been a gift or gift with purchase or something) but this mask is amazing! I use this when my skin is breaking out a lot and this mask clears it up. It really does wonders on lifting all the dirt and gunk out of your skin. LOVE IT!</div>

<br />
So here are some of the things I've been browsing at across the web this
week. I've really been interested in getting a new pair of athletic
shoes and these metallic ones from New Balance are calling my name. I
have also been looking for a good "all-in-one" eyeshadow pallette and
this one from Lorac Pro seems to have the perfect colors that I'm
looking for. This mint tote and red skirt from Old Navy are just
absolutely fabulous and are having me wishing for warmer weather,
especially this week. And this dress from Target I'm obsessed with; it has such a great shape and I'm obsessed with the graphic print! I also discovered this coffee body scrub from
Frank and has me really intrigued to try it out.<br />
<br />
What are some things you're browsing at this week?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trench Coat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing is more classic and comfortable for spring then a great khaki trench coat. I used to have a nice trench, but I'm not sure if it is in storage or if I got rid of it when we moved so if it's not in storage I might be re-investing in one again this year :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gingham Shirt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love plaid and nothing is more spring and summer to me then a lightweight gingham blouse. This year I really want a navy blue and white one...how classic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pastel Denim</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A
great way I like to add a little variety to my wardrobe is with a
colorful denim or pant, and pastels for spring are what I'm lusting for this
year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Windowpane </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This
print is everywhere right now and is a nice graphic print other then
all the watercolor florals we are consumed with every spring. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pops of red</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've
been seeing a lot of these pops of this coral/pink/red color everywhere
right now and I'm very intrigued to incorporate it with some of my accessories in my spring
wardrobe this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pastel Accessories</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mini pastel handbags are everywhere as wel! I'm lusting over these cute little crossbody satchels that come in an array of pastel cuteness! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nude Nail Polish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As
a change from all the dark and bright fingernail polish I have and wear
periodically, right now I'm really drawn to different kinds of nudes and neutral nail
colors. </div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
Something different that I haven't done yet or even talked about really is my love affair with coffee. Coffee has been a daily thing of mine since I started high school. I can not go a day without a super hot cup (or 2) of delicious coffee, even in the summer.<br />
<br />
So here are some of my coffee favorites and how I drink my coffee on a daily basis:<br />
<br />
So my go-to coffee Josh and I buy in huge containers is Folgers Simply Gourmet Coffee in Black Silk.<br />
<br />
How many cups of coffee do I drink a day: 2-3 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I want a little sweetness I use a little bit of Almond Milk and a tsp of Sugar in the Raw.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
If I ever venture into flavors, my all time favorite is hazelnut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Revlon Photoready Color Correcting Primer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This primer somewhat works but makes my skin break out like crazy. I don't notice a huge difference when using it anyway. I'm not big of a fan of primers from the start and don't know if I necessarily need one with my skin. This is a definite never buy again product. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't even get me started on this foundation. This was a definite "Youtube mad me try it" product purchase. I had seen a ton of beauty bloggers and youtubers rave about this new foundation and how great it was for oily skin. Well I bought it and tried it and I took it back the next day to get my money back, that's how horrible it was for me. Number 1 the colors are so bad, I looked like a oompa-loompa...and number 2 it made my face look and feel like I had chalk all over my face, did not cover up any imperfections but instead accentuated them. I don't have any wrinkles, but this foundation made me look like I had wrinkles...it made me look so much older then I actually am and that is the exact opposite of what you want in a foundation. It may be great for some people but I did not enjoy it and it did not work well with my skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Too Faced Primed and Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer and Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, not a huge fan of primers from the start. These I received as samples in a gift set my husband got me for Christmas and I'm not impressed with them at all. They really don't do anything in my opinion. When I use the anti-crease eye primer, I still get creasing. My concealers do a better job then these primers. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>Wipes</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
From highchairs, to shopping carts, to grimy hands...it is inevitable that something is going to need to be wiped or sanitized multiple times a day. Having good multipurpose wipes is essential when having a little one no matter where you are. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>Tissues</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
It is also inevitable that you, your husband or your little one will have a runny nose or just need to wipe something. Having tissues on hand is always a good idea in my opinion. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>Lip Product</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
With all the running around it is possible that you will need to keep your lips moisturized and feeling hydrated. Having a good nourishing lip product will help you get through the day whether it's shiny and colorful or not. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>Gum and some sort of snack(s) for yourself and child</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Gum is essential for me because let's be honest, who wants bad breath? No one! especially when you're frantically running errands or just trying to get everything done before nap time, you never know who you're going to run into or talk to. Having a snack for myself and Lilly is also a must have. We both get hangry when we are hungry and sometimes the only way to get Lilly to behave when we are out for a long period of time is snacks. You never know when you are going to have a meltdown and a good snack will more then likely always save the day. And having a nice treat for yourself is always a nice bonus when you need the energy. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>Water</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I never leave the house without water for our family. We always have a cup for everyone. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>Comfy Shoes</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Who wants to be an on-the-go mom with hurting feet? I didn't think so, comfy shoes are a must!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>Something to Keep Little Hands Busy</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Along with the snacks, something to keep your child entertained or busy and distracted while you get what you need to get done is always a good idea. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

I have been wanting to start trying out new makeup products lately since my makeup routine has seriously been the same for about 4 years now. Same products, same brands, same, same, same. I was getting bored and wanting to venture out and try some of the abundance of new stuff at the drugstore that I have been seeing lately. And seeing that I am a busy mom-on-the-go, I really need products that serve multiple purposes and hopefully will streamline my makeup routine so that I'm not spending too much time doing my makeup.<br />

So after watching dozens of YouTube videos and scanning Pinterest, I decided the first thing I was going to try was the <i><a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4930113" target="_blank">Cover Girl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation</a></i>. It is claimed to be a long wearing foundation that has lasting power of a primer, coverage like a concealer, and a blendability of an all day foundation with SPF 20 built into it as a bonus. </div>

<i>My First Impression</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first day I wore the foundation I instantly loved it. First thing is that it has a pump which makes things so much easier to use! It covered and blended beautifully and, unlike Revlon Colorstay, I didn't feel like I was wearing a ton of makeup. It is definitely a medium coverage foundation that is build-able to full coverage. I do have to cover up some problem spots with concealer but I'm certainly not using as much concealer as I was with my old routine. The color is a pretty good match, I still have trouble with colors from the drugstore, but it blended nicely and lasted all day. And even though it does have SPF in it, it does not have that over powering sunscreen smell to it, it doesn't have much of a fragrance at all to me. So as of right now I'm really liking this foundation and its satin-matte finish on my skin. I hate true matte foundations because they make my face feel and look chalky, but this one has a little dewiness/glow to it that doesn't battle with my oily skin. <br />
