Overwhelmed

I feel so overwhelmed I can barely stand it. My workload at my job has increased significantly the last couple of weeks, and it looks like it will stay that way.

We are having work done on our house, and it is in shambles. Meaning I have no peace when I come home. If you know me, a peaceful environment is as important to me as breathing. Maybe more.

I'm a mess inside and out.

I saw this today, and thought it was perfect. Have a great Wednesday!

Weekend Shenanigans!

Wow, I feel like such a hot mess lately! I've fallen off the diet wagon, stopped cleaning my house, created uninteresting & poor quality content around these parts, and basically allowed my life to lie in shambles all around me. While that's a bit dramatic, it's truly I how I feel. Like I'm sucking at life right now.

Blah. This is too much of a downer topic for a Monday. Let's talk about something else. 

How was your weekend? Mine was pretty low key and went by way too quickly! I worked from 7am until 8:30pm(ish) on Friday. We were outside basically all day, so I spent Saturday thawing out and recovering.

Oh & I scored these shoes for $8.99! I've been eyeing them for a couple of months; it pretty much feels like I won the powerball. Or at least the grand prize on a scratch off ticket. You get the idea.

 

I also enjoyed  some delicious Starbucks, and played around with 2 adorable pups.

 

 



The weekend wasn't half bad. Linking up for Weekend Shenanigans. Happy Monday!

 

Resvology Review

It's no secret that I'm nearing the end of my twenties. At 28 I don't need a heavy duty wrinkle fighting regimen, but I am very aware of the fact that my skin is changing. Especially around my eyes! Preventative care is really my main concern.

This is where Resvology Age Corrective Eye Cream comes in. I've been using it for about a week, and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. It instantly hydrates my eyes, and I've even noticed it helps my eye makeup stay put. It's just been a week so I can't say it's been a miracle worker, but so far so good.

The science behind Resvology claims to increase youthful gene activity by 330%, and the product is made of a biologist and dermatologist-approved blend of select natural and botanical ingredients At $89, it is a little pricey for my personal taste, but the price point is comparable other high end eye creams.

Two

Kris and I have been married for 2 years today. Today also marks the 7th anniversary of our first date. I can hardly believe it has been that long since we first met.

Our wedding day was beautiful. We were married in Seaside, FL. It was perfect. Here are some of my favorite pictures all taken on 30A by John Shim. You can see more photos here.

Wednesdays & A Giveaway!

My boss always says Wednesdays are wonderful because they're a reminder that the work week is halfway over. I tend to agree, but this week is different. I feel like I'm on my third Monday. Which is pretty much how I imagine hell - an eternity of Mondays. Ok, maybe I'm being dramatic, but you get the point.

But, there's good news! Teresa, one of my awesome sponsors, is giving one lucky Love & Loyally reader the chance to win a $10 Target gift card and The Happiness Project One Sentence Journal. How sweet is she?

Mixing Prints & Fall Boots

I loved wearing this polka dot skirt in the spring and summer, and I wasn't quite ready to put it away for fall, So in a effort to keep it fresh and on trend, I added gingham, layers, and ankle boots. I wore this to church the other day, and I was pretty proud of myself for mixing prints and trends in a way that didn't make me feel like a child trying to dress herself. Which, let's be honest, happens more often than not.
