Summer Make-Up


Summer Make-Up
A good friend of mine introduced me to Bare Minerals/Bare Essentuals brand about a year ago.  I have been faithful to the line ever since.  The foundation is especially great because it provides great coverage while not being cakey, and has SPF too!  In the summer make up should be kept to a minimum.  Check out these great products for a flawless, dewy look!

This weekend I'm heading to Waco for my family's annual reunion.  And while this is typically a time to kick back, relax and be casual, you can still put a little glam in your style for the weekend!  Here are 5 items that are essential to keep cool & cute in high temperatures for a fun filled weekend
with family.
Aldo "Cliodna" sandals $35

Ray-Ban Cats 1000, $135

Old Navy Ruffle-Front Jersey Dress, $19.94
Coppertone Sport Lotion SPF 100+ Sunscreen (because sunburn is NOT cute!)

Family reunions are also notorious for some delicious food!  Here's one of my mom's old recipes that you can share with your family!
