This Christmas I put on my wish list that I wanted a silk pillowcase. I found a super cute one from Target that came with a french hair pin (doesn’t seem to be available anymore), put it on my list, and then on Christmas morning I pulled a black satin pillowcase from my stocking. Not exactly what was on the list, but I decided to just go with it.
Continue reading “Satin Pillowcase vs Cotton Pillowcase”Why in the world did January feel like it was a whole 365 days long? Gracious, I’m glad to start a new month. My January ended on a less than stellar note due to a rough week at work, but I did manage to find some things that I truly loved.
Continue reading “Currently Loving- January 2019”On January 1st, my mom surprised me with a last-minute Christmas present of a planner. She knew I was on the hunt for one similar to the one I used in 2018 but wasn’t having luck finding it or anything comparable. I also wasn’t looking to spend a lot of money, so my options weren’t that great.
Continue reading “Simplified Planner Review”Well, okay, I’m not sure that it’s my favorite gift, because I got a pretty piece of jewelry, some awesome slippers, a few great books, and the clock. It’s ranked up close to the top for sure, and I just wanted to share with you how I styled it.
Continue reading “My Favorite Christmas Gift”Every month I write out a list of my favorite things in a series here on the blog called Currently Loving. Out of the last twelve months, I’ve come up with a list of things that I’ve loved over the whole 2018 year. Below you will find seven categories of things that brought me joy, things that I wore and/or still wear, things that I love to eat, and plenty of other randomness that I loved during 2018.
Continue reading “2018 Favorites”One of my goals for 2019 was less Netflix and more reading. That was all great until I watched the Golden Globes last Sunday and added four television shows and four movies to my TBW (to be watched) list. Then I had dinner with my parents and my aunt, and I added yet another series to watch plus a Youtube channel to follow.
Continue reading “What I Read in 2018”December. Why does it feel like that was a lifetime ago? It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, as they say, and I think the days just go by so quickly. It was definitely a hustle and bustle December for me, but it was lovely. Here are a few of the things I loved.
Continue reading “Currently Loving- December 2018”Happy New Year, friends! I decided to take my entire winter break off of all work, including blogging, in order to rest. And rest I did. I’ve got lots of new year content planned for this month, but the most pressing matter at hand is this sale happening at Beautycounter.
It’s been happening for a while now, and I wanted to share what’s left. I’ve already been seeing some of you snag some of the items from the sale, and I’m so thankful and excited for you! Safer beauty in the new year! Yeah!
Excellent powder formulation went into making these eye shadows. And do NOT be afraid of that blue color. It stands out the most, but look at the beautiful colors around it. I’ve also seen people wear the blue, and it can be as subtle or as bold as you want it to be. Gorgeous! $32.50 down from $50
Last year the palette was called the Ultimate Nudes Palette (not available anymore) and I’m still using it a year later and have only used up one color all the way because I couldn’t quit it. The color pay-off is insane. That’s why it lasts so long; they’re very pigmented. If you have a precision brush, you can use the darkest colors as a liner, and I do that all the time. And now that it’s on SUPER sale, you should really grab it, like, now. $62.30 down from $89
This eyeshadow duo is available in five color combos and are all excellent neutral palettes for you to try. $19.25 down from $35
Want to sample a little bit of everything? Then you need this palette! Are you a makeup artist? Try incorporating some safer beauty into your bag of tricks with this portfolio. You’ll get to try it out and introduce clients to a safer brand of beauty without sacrificing the performance of the product. $23.20 down from $58
I have said it once and I’ll say it again- These lipsticks are awesome! They are soft, pigmented, and they last. Not to mention the beautiful packaging. These are the perfect everyday colors that aren’t too bold but will still show up. And a stupid good deal! $34.40 down from $49
And if you do like a little more punch on your lips, give this mini vault a go. Gorgeous colors and a total steal! $51.35 down from $79
Best lip glosses on the market. I’m telling you. What are you waiting for??? Share these with your besties or your daughters or moms or sisters or anyone! Another incredible deal. $57.85 down from $89
Bold color on your lips not your thing? No worries, Beautycounter has these beautiful sheer lipsticks that don’t deposit a lot of color. They provide just enough to make you look like you have on something, but without looking like “Here comes Elizabeth and her lips.” (That’s something my mom used to say when I pretended I was Dolly Parton and played in the makeup when I was younger.) 🙂 $17.60 down from $32
I’ve seen this highlighter palette in action and it’s bomb. If you like that glow, this is for you! Beautiful. $29.40 down from $49
Um, hello cutest packaging EVER! This raspberry color is the only color available in the satin powder blushes, and it would be perfect for someone with a dark complexion. The color is stunning! $15 down from $30
This particular blush color looks more like a bronzer, but I just threw my completely empty pan out because I loved it THAT much. It’s available in other two other colors and there’s something for all skin tones. Love it! $23.10 down from $42
These brushes are all fantastic. Excellently crafted, and I rarely have a lot of fallout from product when I use them. The crease eye brush is available in this black and white above and in blue down below. $13.25 down from $25
I have this brush, too, and I really enjoy it. It’s great for blush, but also really good for highlighting. $21 down from $35
Did y’all know Beautycounter has hair products? This split end serum is excellent for the dryness in our hair in the winter. Get it now while it’s on sale! $12.80 down from $32
Saved the best for last! I’m telling you the Overnight Resurfacing Peel is all that it’s cracked up to be and more. I know you’ll enjoy this set. You deserve it! $62.30 down from $89
There you have it, it’s all that’s left, so if you want something, HURRY! Sale ends soon, and you won’t want to miss out. It won’t happen again until next winter. If you do order, all sales from the winter sale are final. But that won’t matter. You’ll be loving your products too much. 🙂
Happy Saturday, my friends! And Happy Shopping!

I’d say this is my last recipe of the year, but that’s probably not true. I think I may have come on a little strong this week with the recipes. First the Butterfinger cake then the corn dip and now this. #sorrynotsorryÂ
Today is a hot dip that I attempted for the Iron Bowl. If you’ve ever been to Chili’s and gotten their queso that comes in a skillet, then you know exactly what this is going to taste like.Â

It’s my last day of school before Christmas break, and that’s always a good day. 🙂 I hope all of my fellow teachers (and my students) have a great time off of school and are truly blessed this Christmas.Â
Who’s having a holiday gathering soon? Or at least attending one? If you do, I’ve got a super simple appetizer for you to prepare. What’s more? You can make it the night before! (Praise hands)
