Things I am Loving

by Jenni in

We all have things that suddenly and unexpectedly make us look like this. There have been a few items, blog posts, and the like over the past couple of weeks that I have simply fallen in love with. Get ready, because there are a lot of things that I have become completely addicted to. One of them being this completely unproductive yet engrossing name website. For instance, I now know that my great-grandmother's name, Alma, was quite popular at the turn of the century. Well, it may not be the cure to world hunger, but I found it super interesting!

There is one thing, however that has lost me. Sadly, as of two weeks ago, I fell out of love with Pretty Little Liars. I mean really, if there was a town that crazy ANYWHERE the entire world would come together in the sole purpose of destroying it. Getting rid of the craziness that is Rosewood could literally bring world peace. That is how crazy PLL has become. Rant complete.

These Jeans

I am LOVING all of her super handy and simple make-up tutorials. She, like me, is a bottle red-head and does make-up to suit those color tones. This has made is super easy for me to do what she does and, bam! have amazing looking make-up. So far, my absolute favorite has been this one on using oranges. It revolutionized my summer make-up regimen.

I am not usually a Hollister kind of gal, but I was in the market for jeans at a time they were having a sale no one could refuse. I purchased these and my love has grown everyday that I wear them. Granted, it has only been a week and I have not washed them yet, but they are incredible. Simply the most comfy, least awkward-when-worn-too-much jeans I have ever purchased, and for under $30!

Braided Buns

These are so easy to do and look so refined. Definitely not like something you just did because your hair has decided to go in every direction but flat. And let's face it, that is one of the best reasons anyone has for putting their hair in a bun.

Deodorant for Clothes

Because we are camping. And because sometimes you just don't have time to dry clean that one needed article of clothing.

These Shoes

I got them on a sale and have also fallen in love with them. If they are still available, man are they a good buy! The only downside is that the buckle hits right on my ankle bone. This has made a comfort issue when I try to wear them too tight. Just as long as the buckle stays loose though, they are super comfy.

Sales

My wallet is telling me no but my mind is telling me yes! There have been so many incredible sales this past month on Etsy, J. Crew, The Gap, Hollister, and about 50 other places that I cannot currently think of. It has made purchasing all those needed clothes for summer and fall soooo easy!

Photo Beautifiers

Apps like Afterlight and Over have made my new Instagram goals soo much easier! Not only am I able to get pictures out more regularly, but they do no look like my usual sad, gray photos of nothingness. Yay for apps that make us look much more proficient with cameras than we may actually be!

Michigan Weather

Grand Haven Michigan

We are heading down to Florida this week and I have an odd feeling there will be some weather shock in my future. The summer in Michigan has been wonderful with very few days reaching above 85 degrees. This Michigan summer has definitely been on the top of my "Things I am Loving"  list.

This Bracelet

I ordered it. Received it 4-days later. And fell for it on the spot. It is simple, light, and comes in some pretty nice packaging to boot!

Fishtail Braids

They are easy when you get the hang of it and look so wonderful. I also absolutely love them with a pretty hair band or some big earrings. Swoon.

This is a great tutorial as well!

Jaclyn Hill

I am LOVING all of her super handy and simple make-up tutorials. She, like me, is a bottle red-head and does make-up to suit those color tones. This has made is super easy for me to do what she does and, bam! have amazing looking make-up. So far, my absolute favorite has been this one on using oranges.

New Things in The New Year

We have recently started some new things on P+K and have secret plans of a few more in the new year. Hopefully, all will go according to plan and I will be announcing one or two more surprises for the blog, but until then, let's talk about what's already happening!

As of two weeks ago I tried out a 6th post during the week. This one comes on Sunday and was started as a bit of a bonus post but has turned into a favorite for me to do and a new regular to the weekly articles. Whoohoo! For now, the plan is to release the usual health, fitness, Disney, and lifestyle blogs throughout the week, then release one that has a bit of it all on Sundays that goes over my week in workouts.

This new Sunday post is helping keep me on track with my fitness goals and workout schedule, which is great all on it's own. It is also a great way to conglomerate all of the YouTube and non P+K workouts I complete throughout the week in one place. Every workout that is online has a link along with any food recipes that were extra special. Pretty much, these are link-tastic posts that have much more content than simply talking about a few loved YouTube workouts that week.

I have also been tending to add any personal info from the week to this one as well (what we are up to, intstagrams, that kind of stuff). If you're into personal info, there you are! If not, skip past it, you will not offend me :)

Here is the first Sunday post and here is the second. You will notice that they have completely different lay outs. It's been a trial run but the second is my fave. If you do not agree or have an even better sum up idea, let me know!

Oh yes, and stay tuned because P+K will be hosting it's first product giveaway very, very shortly!!!!
