Three on Thursday!

October 25, 2018

Another Thursday post of Favorites thanks to Steph @ Not Entirely Perfect
Devacurl Ultra Defining Gel…Im kind of obssessed now. I was not taking all that great care of my hair for a while out of pure laziness. So when I got it cut last month I promsied myself I would do better. I started using this gel and I love it. It holds, it doesn’t leave my hair super crunchy and it 100% does not make my extra oily which is great since I only wash it 2x a week. 
Tiffs Treats…I love cookies. Its a real problem. This place delivers warm freshly made cookies to you. THEY DELIVER!! People send them as gifts all time and they are so freaking good. I have gotten them by the dozen as gifts from parents at work and I basically need to swear off cookies or I will never lose a pound. My favorites are the chooclate chip and the peanut butter chocolate chip! 
Libby, by Overdrive….My friend K recently introduced this to me and it has been so helpful! I still have my Chicago Public Library account and recently got my Texas Public Library card so I can use both of them on the app and get my books all in one place. I also love the combo of audio and e-books and it helps me keep track of all them too! 
What are your favorites this week?

Holiday Everything!… I love dressing up for Halloween, trying to get home in time for trick or treaters, Going to the pumpkin patch. I love Thanksgiving and thinking about all the yummy food then making my families favorite foods and cookies. I love Christmas shopping for family and friends and thinking about what gift I can give them that is special. I love decorating for Christmas and then leaving my tree up until its terribly dead and I have to drag it out of the house leaving tons of pine needles everywhere. I love NYE parties and the pink from all the valentines day stuff…I love getting up super early on St. Patricks day just to start drinking. I love Memorial Day and Labor Day relaxing and BBQs. I love it all! 
 
Mangos w/chili sauce(powder)…I really love most things sweet & spicy but ESPECIALLY mangos with chili powder & lime. They are my go to and I always want everyone who hasn’t tried them to get their life together and join me in the wonderfulness! 
VS T-shirt bras…I am not super picky about my stuff…though I am starting to really appreciate quality and sales! I first got a VS t-shirt bra from one of the bins during semi annual sale. Now they are pretty much all I own. I wait for the coupons and sales because I hate buying anything full price but they fit amazing and they last a decent amount of time (im so hard on my clothes in general) Also they come in super cute or basic and I like both and then I get to walk around feeling like a VS model…ok…well that’s enough.

Another Thursday post idea brought to you by Steph Not Entirely Perfect
She has some awesome Thursday favorites so go check them out! 
  • Target Clothes…Listen. I know everyone loves Target but they have some damn cute work stuff! I had to get a lot of new items for work because most of what I wore to work before was worn out and too casual for the current school I am at. I am really working on building a work wardrobe that can go across seasons and target has been a big help! It does not hurt that A works for target so I get his discount plus Redcard is another 5%! 
     

  • Sunbum….everything. I’ve become obsessed since I got a little travel bottle of their sunscreen. Now I am all about it. I use the sunscreen, the cooling lotion and the chapstick. My hair is an unruly curl so I can’t really use their hair products but I wish I could. They are cruelty free and many of their products are vegan. They smell amazing too! 
  • Summer Moon Coffee….I discovered this when I moved to Austin and even though I am back to making my coffee at home it is now my go to when I have coffee out. I LOVE it. Wood Fired coffee, moon juice, dairy alternatives(because lactose hates me) anyway the shit is like crack and you should try it but then…maybe you shouldn’t because then you will be all “Starbucks who?“
