Things I'm Lovin' Tuesday: Rosebud Salve Tube!

A few months ago I started another monthly blog series called

THINGS I'M LOVIN' TUESDAY!!!

If you missed the first few, you can find them here, here and here

and make sure to check back every last Tuesday of the month!

Now onto what I'm lovin' this month...

I was introduced to Rosebud Salve years ago.

I think I was in middle school the first time I used it,

and I really liked it right away - but didn't LOVE it. 

I've never been a big fan of lip gloss or chapstick in a tub.

Something about applying it with my finger just grosses me out.

And I quickly decided to stick with another old favorite instead.

That is until recently...

While shopping at Sephora, I had to do a double take.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it,

but I found Rosebud Salve in a tube!!!

I've used the Rosebud Salve in a tube pretty much every day since.

I really love how soft it makes my lips feel,

but I think my favorite part is the subtle smell of roses!

If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend you do so!

It doesn't leave the sticky feeling on your lips

and for 6 bucks I think it's a steal!!!

Favorite Ways to Wrap Up Summer!

TGIF you guys!!!

I'm back today for another Friday Link Up!

And again, I'm linking up with THREE different groups.

Make sure to check them all out at the bottom of this post!

I feel like I JUST posted about Summer Musts,
but that was already a few months ago!
And with the Summer almost over, it's time to talk about
FAVORITE WAYS TO WRAP UP SUMMER!!!

We still have a month or so of hot temps in Los Angeles,
but I know that it will be Fall before I know it.
So today I have just a few suggestions
on ways to capture the last essence of Summer! 

Grilling Outside
Get in some grilling while the weather is still nice and warm.
Burgers, chicken, tacos and much more!!!

Turkey Burgers
Lemon Pepper Chicken
Blackened Tilapia Tacos

Movies in the Park
If you're local to Los Angeles, there are three fun options!
I've only been to Cinespia, but I hear great things about all three.

Cinespia

Street Food Cinema

Eat See Hear

Outdoor Games
Get some friends together for some outdoor games.
Take advantage of the sun being out late
because soon it will be sundown around 5PM!

Bocce Ball

Horseshoes

Volleyball/Badminton

Summer Color Mani/Pedi 
I don't know about you, but I tend to think bright colors for Summer.
Get your last fun, bright mani/pedi before dark Fall colors are all over!

Essie Fashion Playground
Essie Watermelon
DND Gel Pinky Kinky

Back To School Shopping
(Options in high and low price points!)
I'm not in school (and haven't been for years) but I love Back to School time!
New clothes, a new planner and a new bag were always a must for me.

Paige Verdugo Jeans
Erin Condren Life Planner
Tumi Nora Tote

Target Jeggings
Target Planner
Target Tote

Things I'm Lovin' Tuesday: Rosalynne Love Handlettering

A few weekends ago I was blog brainstorming,

and I came up with an idea for a NEW series for this blog.

I love sharing foods I make, DIY projects I do and my garden updates,

but I thought it'd be fun to add a monthly post about what I'm currently loving.

So starting today,

and happening every last Tuesday of the month,

I will posting a new blog as part of

THINGS I'M LOVIN' TUESDAY!!!

It may be a new food I can't get enough of, 

it may be a new cleaning product that is amazing,

it may be a new fun beauty trend I just have to share,

or it may be something completely random and out of the blue!

Since today is the very first post for the series,

I thought I'd go with something completely random,

and share a great Etsy shop with you guys,

owned by someone I've known almost her WHOLE LIFE!

I've known about Rosalynne Love for awhile,

but it wasn't until recently that I made my first purchase.

And man, I wish I hadn't waited so long to place an order!

These designs are so darling and Rosalynne is such a doll.

Like I mentioned above, I've known Rosalynne for years!

She was just a little baby when I met her, but I too was a lot younger.

Not only was her dad the pastor of the church I grew up in,

but I spent years "babysitting" her and her two siblings.

I sadly haven't seen her in quite a few years,

but am so proud of the lady she's become

and what she's doing with her life today.

And that's one of the reasons I had to share her shop today!

Take a look below at the fun things I recently got from Rosalynne Love.

Aren't these just so cute???

I knew I wanted this design immediately.

And of course this one because it's my favorite bible verse!

And how could I forget this one?

Not only are her designs really cute,

but the quality of the shirts are great too!

The writing on the sparkle one above even sparkles!

I mean really - how cool is that??? 

Now head on over to Rosalynne Love

and order yourself some of her cute shirts!

Oh and maybe throw in a tote bag

or even a moleskin notebook while you're at it!

Don't forget to check back the last Tuesday in August,

and every month for that matter,

so you can read all about that month's 

THINGS I'M LOVIN' TUESDAY!!!

Friday Link Ups: My Favorite Boots!

Happy Friday Everyone!!
I'm back today for another Friday Link Up!
And again, I'm linking up with THREE different groups.
Make sure to check them all out at the bottom of this post!

Even though I live in Southern California,

I'm still a HUGE fan of boots!

I've been growing my collection over time,

and even got two, yes TWO new pairs for Christmas!

Since I'm such a fan of boots,

and since Winter is in full sing all over, 

I thought that today was a great day to talk about

MY FIVE FAVORITE BOOTS!!!

1.Uggs

Ahhhh Uggs. I love my Uggs.

I've had my same pair for YEARS!

And they're still in great condition!!

Mine are so old, they aren't made anymore.
But if I were to get new ones anytime soon,
I'd have to pick from these, these and these!

2. Riding Boots

I've had riding boots for quite a few years too.

My favorite and most worn are black and pull on.

I have a dark brown suede over the knee pair as well.

Oh and a zippered cognac pair I got earlier this year!

Sadly, none of mine are available anymore, 

but I'm really liking theeeeeese!

3. Wellies AKA Rain Boots

I've had a two rather inexpensive pairs over the years,

but sadly they both ended up cracked within months.

Rain boots with cracks? Not gonna work - even in LA!

I guess I was a very good girl this year,

because these were under the Christmas tree for me!!

4. Cowboy (or Cowgirl) Boots

Until recently, I never owned Cowboy Boots.

This past year I've started riding with my aunt on occasion.

I've always just worn my running shoes, but they get filthy!

So I decided I'd put Cowboy Boots on my list for Santa.

While the cowboy boots weren't under the tree for me,

I was a lucky girl and got money so I could pick out my own!

And with the help of my mom, we left the store with these beauties.

I now own Cowboy Boots!

5. Booties

It took me a long time to get on board with Booties.

But certain outfits just NEED booties, 

so I buckled down and got myself a rather inexpensive pair.

And to my surprise, I really liked them!

The ones I got aren't available anymore,

but these and these would are super cute!

What are some of your favorite boots for 2015?
