I finally put some of those frozen bananas to use in my banana bread! 😆 Who else has a freezer full of brown bananas? Can’t just be me.

Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t mak Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t make it into this mix. 🎶🤘🏻 But there’s a @drpepper t-shirt so that’s even better! I’ve been having so much fun lately remixing things I’ve had for years along with a few new pieces! 

Thrifting and finding a super good clearance deal = my favorite! I’m not really sure what my style is these days.. but I’m having fun playing around with it and feeling a little more like ME in what I’m wearing. Warped Tour heart, coffee shop soul vibes? ✨😆

I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, keeping up with a house, and trying to take care of everyone else… I forgot to ask myself what I actually like.

So lately I’ve been paying attention.

The clothes I want to wear.

The hobbies I want to try.

The spaces I want to create.

The things that make me feel like myself.

Maybe this is exactly what your late 30s are for. Not becoming someone new.. but remembering who you are.✨

My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday demand was that we get them a Sonic the hedgehog cake! 😆 

I still just sit and stare at them in disbelief sometimes.. my twin babies.. my last babies.. and somehow they’ve been here for 4 whole years. If you’re a twin mom, you know that the time passes different. The early stages are a blur in a way I don’t even know how to explain. It makes it all a bit more bittersweet.

I love you Bennett & Everett! 💙💙

Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was a teenager and I only vaguely remembered a ride or two! There was so much to do for the littlest brothers and aside from being HOT, it was perfect. 

Everett was big mad at us for taking him on the SpiderMan ride and did not trust our judgement the rest of the time. 🤣 He LOVED the 1 Fish 2 Fish ride and wanted to ride that all day. 

Bennett on the other hand was all about the thrills and the Trollercoaster was his favorite. He said it was “Torrifying” but he made us all ride it with him multiple times.

I rode Velocicoaster with Nate, Landon, and Maile. And while I would do it again - for a moment I did think I might die. I only did that once. 🤣 Nate and Landon rode it multiple times. Hagrid’s was more my speed and Cohen agrees with me! 

I am a Disney girl at heart! But Disney doesn’t have a *real life* baby dinosaur that you can pet sooo there’s some competition. 😆

Beauty Wednesday: My New Mascara Obsession

Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara

This blog post may contain affiliate links. Learn more.

I recently had a little gathering at my house to do something I never thought I’d do – try out Mary Kay products. I must admit, I had totally preconceived notions about Mary Kay. In my mind, they were a bit outdated. Um, well, I am here to admit how wrong I am. I had a little Mary Kay party at my house a few nights ago with a few close friends and I really liked everything I got to try! We got to hang out, play around with some makeup, and it ended up being a lot of fun! I absolutely fell in love with their mascara. I have been on the lookout for a new mascara for a while. None of the mascaras I have received in my Ipsy bags over the last few months have wowed me. Everytime I use up whatever I am currently using I buy something new in hopes that this will be “the one”. Well I finally found it!
Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara

The Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara is my new favorite! Other than foundation, I’m not really one to stick to any certain makeup product. I like switching it up. But listen y’all, I’m through wasting my money on terrible mascara.

What I Like

A little goes a long way! I can do both eyes without going back for more product. It seperates and lengthens my lashes really well without clumping. The applicator has a bit of a curve to it which helps it go on more easily and helps to prevent accidentally bumping it into my eyelid – anyone else do that? Top-rated maid cleaning in Ohio will take care of your house or apartment, check out our 10 cleaning tools for home. Might just be me! I rub my eyes quite a bit because I’m one of those people who wears their contact lenses a little past their expiration date and this mascara stays PUT regardless. No little pieces of mascara all over my face. Hallelujah.

What I Don’t Like

I can’t think of anything I don’t like – honestly! Maybe the fact that I can’t pick it up in the same store where I buy all my groceries? I’m a bit used to that! But I’m pretty sure my Mary Kay consultant will be happy to mail me a new tube when I’m running low! I can’t even complain about the price, honestly. I typically pay around $7 for my drugstore mascara. This mascara is $15 but it WORKS and I don’t have to use nearly as much product. I think it’s going to even out!

I am putting together a little makeup routine vlog that should hit my YouTube channel next week. I’ll be sharing my current more natural/quick go-to look that I’ve been loving for summer! This mascara has definitely inspired it! It feels so much easier to go with a more natural look when I feel like my lashes are looking more defined.

    I used to sell Mary Kay (I stopped because I'm just not good at sales haha). This is one of my favorite mascaras also! I know a lot of people are like you and are hesitant about the brand, but I really do like a lot of their products. The eye makeup remover is SO GOOD!

      I was so surprised! I'm so glad I gave it a chance! I need to try their eye makeup remover because this mascara STAYS put, haha.
