September Mommy Favorites



Laneige moisturizer
This moisturizer is my new favorite moisturizer that I found at Target. It is a gel moisturizer which is great for my combination/oily skin. I tend to find creams and lotions are too heavy for my skin and a gel moisturizer really gets deep into the skin rather just sitting on top. It's made from mineral water, aloe, and other extracts that really sooth and moisturize deep into the skin. Love this!

Naked 3 Palette
My mom got this palette for me and it's is my new favorite eye palette to play with in the mornings. I haven't tried the other two palettes yet but to me this palette has a more neutral/pinkish tone to the colors which is totally different then the true browns and neutrals I have been wearing for years. I really like the colors so far and I think they look really good with my skin tone and eye color. The eyeshadow stays on all day perfectly as well. I definitely say try one of the Naked palettes out if you get the chance.

Luna Bars Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
These are delicious and a perfect snack/treat when on the go with Lilly.

Cake Batter Chapstick
I am obsessed with everything cupcake or cake flavored right now and this Chapstick is so yummy. OBSESSED!

Vera Bradley All in One Crossbody
This is the perfect mom-on-the go wallet/clutch/crossbody when you need to be hands free or just need to take your wallet with you. This has been a great purchase and I just love that I can wear it multiple ways without really thinking about it.

Nap Time Project: DIY Wipes Case Covers

So Lilly has started transitioning to pretty much one nap a day, some days she still takes a little afternoon nap, just depends on the day for her. So during her nap time I wanted to start doing something for myself once or twice a week that isn't cleaning, dishes, or laundry. I wanted to just disconnect and focus on something that I wanted to do and I decided to venture into my craftier side. Growing up my mom was also making crafts and always had projects for me and my friends to do on rainy days and days when we were bored. So crafting has always been an on and off thing that I do every now and then. My first project I wanted to make was my own wipes case covers. I originally was just going to cover the Pampers case in her nursery first, but when I went to Walmart I found fabric that matches my Vera Bradley almost perfectly so I had to make one for my diaper bag too. So all in all I ended up making 2 wipes cases.  Pinterest and Youtube are forever my muse and best friend for these kinds of projects and I just followed along with this tutorial and this one

What you'll need:
Fabric
Ribbon 
Felt or Quilt Batting
Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
Scissors
And any other little things you'd like to decorate on your wipes case

Lilly's nursery is Owl Themed so this fabric was a perfect match for her room. I also wanted to leave the top opening on the case so I improvised from the tutorial I watched and left a majority of the turquoise of the lid for color. 


I'd love to know some of your nap time projects out there so feel free to leave a comment and link below :)
