Favorite beauty products.....

I wanted to share my favorite beauty products on Kelly's Korner fav products post this morning. Sooo instead of all makeup I decided to talk about  curls. Yes folks curls, I have curly hair and this product is a must at our house. I have two girls with very curly hair too!! WE love it!!! A bit pricey but worth it.

I am obsessed with lip gloss. I try cheap I try pricey but believe me I have tried them ALL!! I recently found NYC's lip gloss I love it.

Since I'm getting older I have found myself in search of anything that will rewind the process. I just happened to run into Maybelline's Age Rewind concealer on a friend's blog and I am in love!!

I am a shellac addict I get my nails done every two weeks on a regular basis. As I sat next to a girl today I noticed her shellac choice and asked if it was hers or if the salon had this color. She said oh no it's not mine you can try it too. So I am in love with this ORLY Kiss the Bride shellac it is the bomb.com LOL!!!
Have a fab weekend friends~~ we our getting ready for an Astros game tonight should be fun!!

Ladies Bible Study

So I started my LBS yesterday. I had my doubts like I do every year on if this is the class for me. In less than 5 minutes I knew God placed me there for a reason. I love the curriculum, love the teachers and love my sweet friends that are in the class. I'm planning to do a review of the class after or during the class because I believe in sharing God's goodness.

We will be covering both boys and girls alternating weeks. I love that the authors says its from newborn through college. I'll keep you posted sweet friends and I will share what I learn!!!
Have a fab Wednesday!!
