 What I'm Reminiscing about.....

College!

 This month marked 15 years since I graduated from The University of Colorado...GO BUFFS!
I dug up some old photos...so fun to reminisce!
I loved college....so fun!

 What I'm loving.....

I'm loving using Rodan + Fields Reverse. It got rid of my pregnancy melasma & also gets rid of age spots/sun damage.

Here's what a fellow R + F consultant, Destiny, has to say about her experience with Rodan and Fields. 

 "I'm so pleased with how far my skin has come and can't wait to keep going! The only makeup I'm wearing in these pics is a little mascara... nothing on my face. I've stopped using foundation/ concealer completely!! I've primarily been a twice daily REVERSE regimen and eye cream user, plus AMP MD every other day! After my first REVERSE regimen was completed, I started incorporating UNBLEMISH into my morning routine to clear up some sporadic breakouts and help with oily skin. I LOVE both of these regimens and my happy balance is a combination of the two! Skin can be complicated and luckily, Rodan + Fields has something for everyone!"

What We've been up to.....

May has been a BUSY month.
 The first weekend of May we had our school auction (Caddyshack theme)

 We had my niece's 2nd Birthday Party (Minnie Mouse theme)

We celebrated Mothers Day with both sets of parents on Saturday night & watched the Kentucky Derby and played Mexican Train until 2 am!

The weekend after that I was in Lake Tahoe for my Rodan + Fields retreat:

 This past weekend we were at my niece's college graduation.
Add all that to the end of the school year craziness & it's just been BUSY!

What I'm Dreading.....

 The stack of homework packets, tests & projects on my desk at school.
I have TONS of grading to get done this week.

What I'm Working On.....

I am working on end of teacher gifts!

I was at Anthro last week and saw that my favorite initial mugs were on sale for just $5!

 I stocked up on them and got one for the girls speech teacher, PE teacher, music teacher, librarian, reading teacher, school nurse & office staff.

I made a FREE printable a couple years ago that is perfect for these mugs!

 You can download it {HERE}

That is the gift I am giving all the support staff.
I am giving the girls teachers a gift card to their favorite restaurants....

 and putting it on THIS printable.

What I'm Excited About.....

 SUMMER!!!!
2.5 more weeks of school....we can do it, Teacher Friends!

What I'm Watching........

Warriors Playoffs...UGH...they have lost the past 2 games.
Last week for Kevin's Birthday we went to game 2...it was AWESOME.

 The Warriors won that game, it was so fun...I don't know what has happened since then!

TV shows I am watching...
Grey's Anatomy (just finished the season finale last night...!!!)
