What I'm Reminiscing about.....
Easter was a week and a half ago & it was a good one!
We "EGGED" our friends Easter weekend.
This is one of our favorite Easter traditions. Get the FREE printable HERE.
We tried the Cool Whip dyed eggs....it was a Fail.
Only 2 out of 6 actually worked. Oh well!
We did have luck with our regular old school egg dyeing.
The Easter Bunny came....
And, left Bunny Prints....
And, a marshmallow trail that lead to the Easter Baskets....
We had an Egg Hunt...
And a delicious Easter Brunch.
I made Monkey Bread and TWO of my Make Ahead Breakfast Casseroles.
In one of the casseroles, I added breakfast sausage, green chilies and pepper jack cheese.
In the 2nd casserole, I added breakfast sausage, a can of Rotel & cheddar cheese.
They were both delicious!
After brunch we headed to Kevin's sisters house for their Easter party.

What else is new.....
Rodan +Fields invented a new molecule for our newest product that just launched.
The research and innovation that R+F is pioneering is nothing short of mind blowing!
You are going to want this magical solution to dry, aging skin...
Introducing Active Hydration Serum!!!
200% more hydration on the FIRST try.
30% Glycerin bound to Hyaluronic Acid.
SELF ADJUSTING to YOUR skin type.
Why should you care? Because hydrating your skin is key!!!
Do you know the difference between Hydration vs. Moisturization
Hydration ADDS water to the skin. Moisturizing creates a barrier to seal in what is already there.
Think of hydration for your skin like a water balloon.
The full water balloon is smooth has no wrinkles in it, while one that is partially full - or dehydrated - is saggy and wrinkled. That's what your cells do.
What if there was something that was clinically proven to increase the hydration level of your skin by 200% in its first use so your skin was plump and smooth, and fine lines and signs of aging significantly diminished?
It can be used regardless of your skin condition....even oily, acne prone, sensitive, skin with rosacea.

I know so many of you who are curious about R+F products, but are nervous to take the plunge!
Now is your chance to try them out!
Here is some info about these products..............
Rodan + Fields Multi Function Eye Cream:
This eye cream is THE BEST.
It combines powerful peptides to minimize the appearance of crow’s-feet, helps reduce the appearance of both puffiness and dark under eye circles.
My next favorite product is our Micro-Dermabrasion Paste. This has been a life saver for me this winter.
We have been in Lake Tahoe every other weekend since Christmas which means my skin has gone from mild temperatures here in the Bay Area to freezing, snowy conditions in Tahoe...and the wind on my face while skiing has not helped. I have been using this paste 2-3 x a week and it has saved my skin!
Micro-Dermabrasion Paste is a high-glide, oil-free formula designed to help promote maximum gentle exfoliation. Use intermittently to visibly improve skin tone and texture. It smoothes away rough spots.
Lash Boost
Get lush, longer-looking lashes in as little as four weeks with Lash Boost.
This nightly eyelash-conditioning serum features a unique proprietary formula that improves the appearance of lash volume and length for lashes that are 100% real, 100% yours.
I am obsessed with Lash Boost...it is my current favorite R+F product....the results are incredible.
Here are my friend Caroline's lashes:
Aren't her lashes incredible?

Question of the month is:
What is your favorite Spring/Summer shoe?
For the Spring:
THESE are the most comfortable flats I have EVER worn.
I got them almost 3 years ago for Back to School. They feel like I am wearing slippers.
This style is sold out/discontinued but they now carry THESE ones:
They are so worth the money, especially if you have a gift card to put toward them.
I got the tan pair a year after the black pair because I loved them so much.
I am on my feet a ton during the school year & these flats are worn 4 times a week during the Fall and Spring. When I am doing a lot of training & running, these flats make my feet feel like they are in heaven. LOVE them!
For the Summer:
These Flip Flops!
I go them last year for my birthday last year and they are so comfy!
I realized a few years ago that life is too short to wear uncomfortable shoes ;)

ReplyDeleteI plan on planting all the things this weekend too! I am so excited to get my garden and flowers in. I love reading your garden posts, as well as your "Things I'm Loving" posts. I love the color scheme. May sounds like a great month for you all. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteOur state testing week is in two weeks and my oldest is so nervous. I can't wait to see your new outdoor kitchen! We need to build one but that is on the back burner for this year. Have a great Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your backyard kitchen! That will be so nice this summer.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could get away with eating Easter brunch every weekend of the year and have no consequences! Our state testing is in 2 weeks- the only pro for us is that we get to wear jeans and sneakers to work. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI love the bunny prints and the marshmallow trail! That's so fun!!
ReplyDeleteThat Inspired Chick
Love all of your Easter ideas! And I have The Rosie Project on my to-read list. :)

Oh I just saved those recipes because they all looked so good. I contemplated buying my first pair of Tory Burch shoes this weekend, but I went with the Birks. I need to get a pair though because they are so cute and comfy!
