ZOOtopia?

A trip to the zoo was
just what the doctor ordered.

A few weekends ago we decided
to go to the zoo - SO WE COULD FEED
THE GIRAFFES - but we also checked out all of the
other animals too.

Jaclyn Hill BECCA Palette

I was so psyched to hear

that Jaclyn Hill (JH) was collaborating

with BECCA again.

When she announced her new palette,

I put it on my makeup shopping list as a MUST.

I waited in anticipation (for about a month)

for the drop date. It was set to drop

5/25/16 at noon.

Thank GOODNESS I was on

the Sephora site much earlier than

noon. THANK GOODNESS

I happened to refresh the page

around 11:30 because that

palette dropped early!

The palette was sold out
two hours later.

I waited through the long weekend for
my package to arrive.
When it did I screamed with joy -
and did a little snapchatting :D

I can not explain to you how beautiful this palette is.
So, I will just have to settle for a photo shoot!

Here are a few looks I created using this palette.

I will be doing a video on this palette soon!
Keep an eye out on my Youtube channel:

If you missed out on the first drop date, no worries
it hits Sephora stores June 16th, but I'd imagine
it will sell out fast, and Jaclyn Hill has already stated
that this is not a permanent item. SO STOCK UP!

A Birthday & Beach Day

May 27th was my 

hubby's 32nd birthday.

Every year I ask him what he would like

to do, and he always says the same thing...

"Idk...Nothing Really"

Omg! What am I supposed to do with that?

So we always just end up going to dinner - just

the two of us. 

This year I decided I was going to take matters into

my own hands. 

I decided to throw Ricky a surprise party.

But not just any surprise party - a 

bowling surprise party.

I was even able to get

his parents to drive up for the event :)

*I feel like it is necessary for me to put my "bowling look"

in here...*

I told him we were going bowling for his birthday -

but I did not tell him there would be a party waiting for him!

And let me tell you, it is almost impossible for me to keep

secrets. So this was big.

The next day we were off to the beach!

I know, I know. We are crazy

for going to the beach 

on Memorial Day Weekend, but it

really wasn't as busy as I thought it would

be. 

We headed to Cocoa beach to meet

up at Coconuts for a few drinks

and then some fun in the sun!

Thank God for these babys... The sand was SCORCHING!

I feel like I should be holding up an ice cream cone in this pic. #instagramready

Damn Steph, perfectly posed legs!

Here I am, expressing my thanks to Leigh and Steph for

providing the champagne.

Ohhhh this hat... #hateit

Here is where the fun begins...

A friend from work let me borrow his reflector to try out.

So we put on quite the show of 

"trying it out" lol.

I just love the golden glow it gave us!

For the following pic, we flipped the reflector over to the

white side. This obviously gave us much less of a

golden glow, but it was still pretty!

Had to get the booty shots in...
