Share a Coke ~ Start Summer

I'm not a big pop drinker, but when I found my name on a Coke bottle yesterday, I had to snag myself one! And to make things worse, I decided to share my Coke with my young children (you know, so I wouldn't be consuming all the bad stuff by myself). It wasn't my best mother moment, but my girls didn't seem to mind! 

I do have to say, sharing that Coke made me feel like summer is officially here! That and the fact that is been over 100 degrees all week! WOHOO!!!

Falling Into Place

Hi lovelies! I'm excited to give you the 411 on my move status! My husband landed in Oahu on Tuesday night and has quickly settled in. He got our girls registered for school yesterday and found us a place to live. We will only have to walk 10 minutes to be in downtown Honolulu. Way to go husband, huh?! Just over there taking care of business!

Thank you to my family and friends who have been praying for me! This has been such a smooth transition, and everything is really falling into place. Can't wait to start posting when I get there!

Bondi Sands

When it comes to tanned skin, I put people into 2 categories. The first category of people are the rule followers, meaning they apply their sunscreen and will continue to reapply as needed, making sure they are safe in the sun. The second category are those that tend to not care all that much. They might use a little SPF from time to time so that they aren't frowned upon, but they aren't really sweatin' it to much if you know what I mean. I tend to be the second category. Judge me if you wish!

Wherever you may land, I still feel that most people have a common goal in the summer months. We all want a beautiful glow! So whether that means you need to start from scratch or enhance the tan you already have, I have discovered a fabulous self tanning lotion called bondi sands. It doesn't leave the typical scent on your skin that most lotions like this do, and it applies smooth and even.

If you want before/after photo proof, you can check our their Instagram page here. Go check it out and get yourself some! You'll be happy you listened!

Yacht Club

This last weekend, my husband and I took a quick trip north of the border, to say our final goodbyes to his family before we fly away. It was especially fun because it also doubled as our last weekend getaway for just us as a couple...you know...with no kids!

On Saturday night we hopped on a party yacht for a friend's 30th birthday. The 3 hour cruise took us all around English Bay, giving us just enough time to stuff our faces with some cake and bust out our best dance moves.

I'm going to deeply miss my brother and sister-in-law, but I can hardly wait for them to come visit us on the island!!

Mani Monday | Party At The Palace

Happy Monday! Today's mani inspo is sure to bring out the Disney princess in you!

Morgan Taylor did a fabulous polish collection for Disney's new Cinderella film. My girls' eyes widened with excitement over all the colors when we first saw them in the store. With so many fab shades to choose from, we opted to get the mini set, so we could have samples of our favorite colors. Although each of these shade are beautiful, I have to say Party At The Palace is my fav! What do you think?

Flower Child

The past week and a half, I've been living in a trailer outside my parents house just waiting for my flight. I have about 4 more weeks until I catch my plane and that means another month of living out of a suitcase and boxes. It's extremely annoying digging for everything that would normally be in plain sight for me to see.

Lucky for me my mom has mad style sense, so I decided to raid her closet. It seemed like a much easier option for me today than hunting for what I wanted. After all, I'm about to head up to Canada with my husband to see his family one more time before we leave. Getting ready for my day was made so much easier all because of this sweet dress. Like it?

Periwinkle Please

So I know that I was blonde for about 5 min (6 weeks if you want to be technical), but it was always my plan to color my hair a fun new hue. I just figured that since it was such a process to bleach out my brown mane, that I would rock the blonde for a bit.

Periwinkle is one of the few shades that my hair has yet to be, and I think that it's gorgeous! If you get a chance to see me in person, it really is the perfect combo of baby blue and lavender. I think I'll keep this one for awhile ;) Like it?
