Loving Right Now

I haven't done one of these in awhile and figured it was high time I remedied that!

.1.
I have a confession: I am obsessed with Meryl and Maks. I know the show ended on Tuesday (spoiler: they won!), but I'm nursing a DWTS hangover two days later. I'm not generally a reality television viewer and I never watch one from the beginning. I sometimes get roped in near the end when it gets down to a few contestants. I was more interested in DWTS this year because Meryl Davis and Charlie White were part of the cast. I loved watching them win gold at the Olympics in February and figured they'd both be great in the ballroom. I'd watch their dances on YouTube until my DVR schedule cleared up enough to allow me to record it. The problem? They're still on my DVR and I'm not sure when I'll delete them. I still watch them (more than I should admit). Why am I so weird??


First, they're both incredibly good looking. Second, their freestyle from the Finals (see below) was insane.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation

I'm a big fan of Tarte Cosmetics. I love their BB Tinted Treatment and blushes. Their eye shadows are awesome as well. I bit the bullet and forked over the cash to try out this powder foundation after reading a glowing review of it somewhere. Now, once summer really gets rolling, I'm not sure how much I'll actually be putting it on, but it's pretty awesome. The biggest thing I have noticed is how my face still looks perfect after a long day at work. The BB cream I used to wear alone (now I wear it as a primer) would sorta wear off throughout the day. If you have money to burn and want to try a new foundation, I recommend this one.

This is the best fast breakfast! Add a little bit of milk and microwave for a whopping 25 seconds and you have a yummy filling breakfast! I have loved it after my early morning workouts!

My hair used to have a terrible time holding a curl. So, obviously, I just avoided curling it. My hair was straight for yeeeaarrsss! On a whim I bought the travel size of this styling lotion -- I have no idea why! At first I wasn't totally sure the best way to use it. When I tried to use it as a leave-in conditioner (spraying it in before blow-drying), it would leave my hair feeling sticky and gross. I hate drying my hair when I can feel product in it! But, when I used it as a heat protectant spray right before curling, magic happened! This stuff allows my hair to hold a curl FOREVER (until I wash it out!) without a single drop of hairspray. It is amazing. It may not work this way for everyone, but it was life-changing for me!

Tomorrow completes three weeks of my eight-week work out commitment. In those three weeks I haven't set foot in a gym. Every workout has happened in my living room. I somehow found this website that offers over 100 free workout videos all put together by a husband-wife duo. They aren't obnoxious, the workouts are diverse and doable, and they're free! It is so much easier to exercise when I just have to stumble downstairs!
