I haven’t done one of these posts in a while, so I figured one was a bit overdue. These are just some things I’m loving lately.
GARNIER BB CREAM
Oh my word. I had used this before, because I got a free sample in the mail, and I was instantly hooked but still it took me a while to actually go out and buy a full size bottle for some reason? It’s just perfect. I’m not the biggest fan of full coverage, makeup-smothered face in my everyday life. Enter: BB Cream. This stuff is basically like a tinted moisturizer, plus it has SPF, and the coverage is just right so as to not be too thin or too thick. After a week of using it and only it as my face makeup, I have actually noticed my skin is more vibrant and looks great! So! I recommend.
MACBOOK PRO
So… I got a new computer a few weeks ago. I used to be a solely Mac girl. Growing up we always had a Mac (anyone remember the “blueberry” iMac? That was ours- I know, awesome) and then when I graduated from high school my parents bought me a macbook, which lasted a good 4 years until it died completely on me and then I switched to various other laptops for a while, but my heart has always been in the Apple department. Well. I can’t even tell you how excited I was when Zack just said, “Hey! Want a MacBook?!” Um. YES. I’m one happy girl.
“CHEMISTRY” BY CLAIRE WRIGHT
This song has been on repeat constantly. Obsessed is probably the right word. This is a local girl that I discovered on YouTube recently, and I just love her voice. Also, gotta represent the locals. You know how it is.
WAKING UP IN HEAVEN
Zack got me this book for Christmas, and I just finished it this week. I cried a few times, it touched my heart, it spoke to my soul. Seriously, I so highly recommend this book to anyone. It’s about a woman who died for 9 minutes and experienced heaven for that brief amount of time. She shares her story, what she remembers, and her testimony. She was a self-proclaimed skeptic and was never sure of her faith and it was a very healing read for me, one that I have needed since last February, when my own world came crashing down. If you have experienced doubt or felt lonely or sad, I do recommend picking this book up. You just never know how it might help you.
So that’s what I’ve been loving lately! How about you?
Have you ever tried BB Cream?
Mac or PC? The great debate.

I love my Mac!!!! Can’t beat them. :)
Agreed!! :)

I LOOOOVE BB cream but havent used this kind yet. I’m a pc girl but i’d love to have a mac!
I tried this kind out because it was cheap and I had a coupon! Ha! And I was amazed at how awesome it is! I recommend :)

That’s so sweet of him that he got you that book to help you out. Love that! I have read a similar book, two actually. One is called “Heaven is for Real” and its this little boy who died for a few minutes and then was revived. His dad wrote the book about what his son was telling them about, and its incredible what he says he “saw” while he was gone. Definitely worth reading.
I have heard so much about BB cream, I’m going to have to hit up Target and buy some asap.
YES I haven’t read Heaven is For Real, but it’s totally the same idea! :) I think I’ll add that one to my list!

I got a new MacBook Pro in December and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since.

I’ve used that Garnier BB cream several times. I can’t decide whether I like it or not.. because it has an orangey tint to it. I love Macs! I’ve had my Macbook for five years!
Hmm maybe you got the wrong color? It is more tinted, but I like that because it works well with my skin tone! I suppose it just depends! :)

I might have to try out that BB cream. So far, I haven’t found one that doesn’t irritate my skin, but I haven’t tried out the Garnier one yet! And I’ll also have to check out that book. I am looking for a new book to read & that definitely sounds like a good one!!
I have really sensitive skin, and this one doesn’t irritate it at all! :) And the book is really, really good.

I need to try the BB cream! Foundation feels like too much sometimes and the other BB creams i’ve tried just haven’t felt like enough. So i’ll need to try the Garnier one.
And yay for apple! ;) I’ve always been team apple, basically my whole family is. And I absolutely love-love my macbook!
What I love about the Garnier BB Cream is that it’s build-able, too! So if it doesn’t feel like enough coverage, just add a bit more and voila! :)

I am all about the Mac! I own a MacBook Pro, and an iPad, and just recently went back to the iPhone. My boyfriend is debating whether to buy the MacBook Pro or the Lenovo Yoga 2.
Ahhh I have my macbook and also got an ipad mini and now it’s SO hard not having an iphone! haha ;) They need to make cheaper plans, though! I can’t go broke for a phone :( iphones really are the best, though!

I love the BB cream!
Isn’t it great?! Love it!

I have a new found obsession with BB cream. I use it as my primer and will never use anything else again. And that old blueberry mac you were talking about…I had one of those in my classroom last year. It’s amazing how far technology has come. I recently went from my dell laptop to my new iMac and am loving the switch and the huge screen. Hope you have a great weekend!
I just switched from a dell to a mac, too! SUCH a difference, definitely took some getting used to, but I’m loooving it! So funny that you had that old blue imac in your classroom last year! That’s crazy! You never really see them anymore, but I remember being SO obsessed with it. Like, it was on all of my wish lists for birthday/Christmas and I was over the moon when my parents got it! haha :)

It’s Mac all the way! And, as for reading a book, not so much these days. But, your book looks like one I would want to read.

Congrats on the Macbook Pro! My husband just got one, too, and he loves it.
Ahh yay for macbooks! :)
