Must Have Monday-Sundance Clothing & Jewelry


It's "Must Have Monday" and I wanted to share one of my favorite sites to shop on.  Sundance has a lovely variety of clothing, jewelry and even household items.  I love the style and if I could afford it I would wear just about everything on the site!  If you have never heard of Sundance there is a nice story behind the start up of the company that was founded by Robert Redford in 1969 and you can read up on that here.

 I wanted to share of few things that I love while keeping it all under $100.00.  While some of the pieces seem a little expensive I can assure you that the quality is reflective of the price.  In this case you really do get what you pay for.  

First up I wanted to share this adorable Daphne Draped Tank with lace inset for $78.00.

Look at these cute Calligraphy Cropped Jeans for $98.00 that have fun embroidered swirls down the sides.

I am also loving these pretty Masala Flats for $70.00!

Or, how about these gorgeous Moon on the Water sandals for $68.00?

Now for the jewelry...I love, love, love their selection of jewelry!  Here are a few pieces that I have my eye on, again, all are under $100.00.

I am a huge fan of mixing gold & silver tones together and this Rainbow Moonglow Ring is a perfect example for just $48.00!

I am also loving this set of 4 Galaxy Rings for just $58.00.

What about this simple but elegant, sterling silver From the Heart Necklace for $98.00?  So pretty, right?

See, now you love everything Sundance too!  Do you currently own any pieces of clothing, shoes or jewelry that you purchased from Sundance?  I would love to see and hear about what you bought or plan on buying so leave me a comment below...

P.S.  You can also get an additional 2% Cash Back when shop Sundance through Ebates!

Zero Oil by Origins-Review


Zero Oil by Origins is a fantastic little product.  Even in my 40's I still struggle with oily skin.  I thought for sure I wouldn't have oily skin once I "got older".  Unfortunately, that has not been the case.  As a result, I am constantly on the hunt for products to combat my oily skin so I love finding something that actually works.  Thankfully, Zero Oil really does work!  I put it on over my primer and it creates a smooth matte finish that lasts at least 5 hours.  Considering I have VERY oily skin 5 hours is awesome!
At $15.00 a bottle I think it's a great value since a little goes a long way.  I think this bottle should last at least a few months or maybe even more.
Do you battle oily skin?  What is your go-to beauty product that helps you?  I would love to hear any suggestions you might have so please leave a comment below...

Thursday Thoughts


I don't know about you but my girlfriends are very important to me.  Like, "can't live without" kind of important.  I have to say that I have been very blessed in the friendship department.  I have had the same best friend for over 30 years (omg, I just really aged myself!) and several other best friends that I have had for a few decades and more still that I have had for several years.  I rely on my girlfriends for anything and everything and they do the same with me.  We have been through everything together, life, death, divorce, you name it.  If I go too long without seeing my girls I seriously start to have withdrawals.  Thankfully my husband knows how important my girlfriends are to me and is totally understanding when I say I need a "girls night" or a "girls weekend"  
With that being said, I am officially in "girlfriend withdrawals" at the moment which is what inspired me to write this post about friendship for my "Thursday Thoughts".  I've been really stressed out waiting to move in to our new place and even though my husband has been great sometimes the only thing that helps is a night with my girls!
Are your friendships as important to you as mine are to me?  Do you have withdrawals too?  Please tell me I am not alone by leaving a comment below.  Also, what do you & your girlfriends like do when you get together for a girls night?

Must Have Monday-bareMinerals READY® Eyeshadow 4.0 The Glass Beach


Can you tell I LOVE bareMinerals?  For this "Must Have Monday" post I wanted to find a fun new summer eye shadow palette and I totally fell for this one by my bareMinerals.  

Not only are the colors summer pretty & inspired by "enchanting sea glass" the packaging is a gorgeous aqua color and I also love the name of this quad, "The Glass Beach".  It's all just pretty perfect if you ask me!

The colors are listed as Pacific Sands, Sea Glass, Golden Coast and Tide Pool and as usual they are formulated without parabens, binders, fillers and harsh chemicals.  It's a little pricey for a quad at $30.00 but I am sure they will be having another sale soon or including this in a set just in time for summer so I will try to be patient!  Have you been wanting a fun, new summer palette as well?  Which one are you going to get?
