Hey there! Friday couldn’t seem to get here fast enough, am I right? The rain has moved out and it is supposed to be a gorgeous weekend down here in the south! I am not sure what the plans are this weekend, but I know for certain I am going to soak up some nice weather.
Favorite Moments: Laura and I met up for an on the fly lunch at Avondale CommonHouse to celebrate some good news for her. We both tried the Buffalo Cauliflower Po’Boy and shared the Bruleed Banana Pudding. Cream Brulee and banana pudding are my top two favorite desserts ever. So when you combine them??? Magic you guys. Pure magic.
Yesterday Chris texted me asking if I had ever been to Brat Brot. It is a new Biergarten and sausage house that just opened literally RIGHT behind my office building. He had sent me a few pictures of the inside of the place, so I went and grabbed two of my co-workers and decided to crash his party. I ordered a radler which was made with a delicious pilsner and blood orange sparkling water. OMG It was so good!!! This has to be the coolest place ever!! I cant believe I can just walk to it anytime I please from the office. Definitely going to go back to try out the food. Laura, wanna do lunch there next week???
Favorite New Beauty Products: I have always been a big time fan of Lancome. I switch between their foundation and Estee Lauder as my two holy grails. Influenster sent me a VoxBox of a bunch of new products from Lancome and I squealed in delight when I opened them!!! You guys!!! I am so excited to share some of these with you. I have been using all of them for two weeks now and these are definitely something you are going to want to check out!!!
The Skin Feels Good tinted glow moisturizer is amazing!!!! It reminds me of IT CC Cream only about a million times better. The IT CC Cream never settles in to my skin so I can’t really make it work for me. This stuff is a light weight SPF tinted moisturizer that really provides a light/medium coverage. It has a good smell to it and it stays allllll day long on me. I am going to LIVE in this stuff for the spring summer! The color they sent me (01C Cool Porcelain) was perfect!
The Lancome – Advanced Genifique Sensitive Antioxidant Serum has been a game changer as far as makeup application goes. I never wear a primer because they never do anything for my skin. I put this stuff on under all my other face treatments in the morning and notice a huge difference in how my makeup looks when I am finished. MUCH smoother appearance!!! A little drop of this stuff goes a long way, so I see the bottle lasting a really long time.
Next up was the Lancôme – Renergie Lift Multi-Action Ultra Firming and Dark Spot Correcting Moisturizer SPF 30 which is another amazing product! Super light weight, but also very moisturizing. I love my Clinique moisturizer, but it has zero SPF and will not work for me in the summer. I think an SPF 30 moisturizer that is working to combat my dark spots is a wonderful switch up. I am loving this stuff and have had no adverse effects since starting it and you all know I have sensitive, finicky skin.
Last but not least is the lipgloss!!!! The Lancome – Prismatic Plump Lip Gloss is sooooooo stinking cool!!!! They sent me the shade Effervescent, which is like a lavender/pink holographic color that looks so neat by itself, or over any of your favorite colors. I am seriously so impressed with this stuff and plan to purchase a few more. Though, I have to say the color I got is my favorite. It feels so good and nourishing on my lips and it really gives a multidimensional effect!
Favorite Read: I am majorly lacking in passion and creativity lately. Of course, I have a huge passion for my husband and daughter. I love being a mom more than anything I have ever done. But when I am at work, or after Zoe goes to bed…I just exist. I am doing the bare minimum to get by. I have zero light burning inside of me. I feel unbalanced and unmotivated. I read this post on how to find what you are passionate about as an adult, and it really resonated with me. If you are feeling this way, please tell me I am not alone. Or if you have been there, what did you do to make it better?
Favorite Recipe: How yummy and easy does this look for a snack??

This lil pizza rolls are the perfect lil app and so cute! I really like Lancome products too, I’ll have to try some of those. Have a super sweet weed beautiful!
YESSSSSSSSSS to lunch there next week!!! I’m so jealous you’ve already gotten to go! That radler sounds delicious! You know how I feel about olives, so YUCK. And yes, yes to that trying to get out of the car with my seat belt still on.
The Radler sounds amazing! Perfect for summer! Those pepperoni bites look really good too. I need to start looking at more food ideas because I decided that in July & August I’m going to try to do as close to perfect Keto as I can just so I can kind of get myself into a mindset to do Whole30 in September rather than just going balls to the wall with all the foods & then being all BAM WHOLE30!
Buffalo anything is at the top of my list of delicious foods. I should try Buffalo cauliflower sometime – What a good idea for a vegetarian alternative.
I definitely feel like it’s easy to get caught up in the routine everyday and feel unmotivated and not passionate about anything. I feel like right now I’m too busy to feel that way, but I’ve definitely felt that way before the girls came along. I want to read that post that you suggested to see what they say! And that Biergarten looks so cool! I’m jealous that it’s literally right behind your office, I know that I’d be there all the time! I hope that you have a great weekend!
I always love seeing your yummy food pics! That new place looks like such a cool spot. Umm yes please for those pizza rolls. I hope you have a great weekend and can enjoy the nice weather. Sierra~Beautifully Candid
That’s basically me with the kitchen too – when I spill water from unloading the dish washer & have to wipe it up… works for me – MOPPING DONE 😉
I saw that color on IG and loved it. You got a great haul of beauty products. You have some amazing places to eat near you. I am always jealous of your lunch dates with co-workers and friends. Have a great weekend!
Ooh fun beauty products. And yay for finding new, fun places to eat! I hope you have a really great weekend and the weather is awesome. It’s been nice where I live, which I love. I hope to spend some time outside this weekend. The plan is to go to a drive-in movie tomorrow night, so yay!
