Must Have Monday - - sport suncreen

Many of you know I started playing Tennis. I realized really quickly that my daily under make-up sunscreen wasn’t going to cut it. It’s hot in Augusta and when you are playing tennis for an hour + in 95 degree weather... sweat is a serious problem. The first couple of times I played, sweat and sunscreen just dripped off my face and often into my eyes... burning and making it difficult to see.

So I knew I have to get something with a little more aggressive spf and something designed for sweat. I researched and looked on amazon. I landed on a few different products to try. The two winners of the bunch are these.

The neutrogena sport is oil free and designed not to sweat off. It is also spf 70. I have been happy with the coverage and protection so far. I like that it isn’t greasy and feels nice on my skin. A little goes a long way. I use it on my face, ears, chest and neck.

The second product was completely new to me. I hadn’t heard of a product like this. I have heard great things about this brand, but hadn’t tried it. This is a Supergoop product is a finish spray with SPF 50. This is perfect for on top of make-up at a ball game, beach, tailgate or pool. If you are a person that likes to wear make-up while working out this is a perfect addition to your routine. I have used it a couple of times. It has a light fine mist and is easy to use right on top of your normal face routine.

I ordered both on Amazon, but I’m sure you could find it locally as well.

Favorite Everyday Shoes

Favorite Kicks I bought these shoes about a year & a half. I LOVE them. I stalked these shoes at my local DSW, I looked up outfits for these shoes on Pinterest. I did my due diligence. Needless to say, I have already gotten my money worth and they are still kicking! I bought mine at my local Store. You can find them online HERE . These are Dr. Sholl’s brand. They have memory foam and are terrific for walking all day. Not to mention, they are a pretty reasonable price point, especially when you consider how often I wear them! I wear them with jeans, leggings and shorts. I’ve even paired them with the occasional relaxed dress. What I love most about them is that they are as comfortable as my running shoes, but they take it up a knotch with fashion & style.

Elementary School - - Must Haves

Well, it’s that time again. It’s about to be back to school. This year looks different, but regardless of what your school is doing this fall there are things you are going to need this fall. If your house is like mine, school supplies and craft supplies are running low. Between finishing school at home and quarantine... we are making due. Here in GA, we are starting back to school as normally as can be anticipated. Masks included, if possible. My elementary age kiddo is pretty good on clothes, but definitely needs somethings to start the year. These are a few things that I have bought or will be buying in addition to the required school supplies. First, as a third grader... she needed a bigger backpack. Lands End is my very favorite place to order back packs and lunch bags! They are wonderfully made and hold up so well. My kids love the prints. The website allows you to filter the size of the backpack based on height. For me, this makes shopping for a backpack SO much easi...

Italian Cheese Ball

I blogged and did a IG live recently and made a cheeseball. You can see the blog post here. Cheeseballs are a fantastic item to serve at a gathering. They are easy, appetizing and unpretentious. You can make them any flavor to fit what you are looking for. This last weekend we were swimming at a friends house and I wanted to bring something for us to snack on. I made a Italian flavored cheeseball. Think of the flavors of an Italian sub, but in a cheeseball! So good. I like to mix my cheeseballs in an electro mixer... but that’s not necessary. It just needs to be well mixed. Ingredients: 2 finely chopped peperocinos 2 finely chopped cherry peppers 1 block of softened cream cheese 1/2 packet of Italian dressing (dry) 1/4 cup Parmesan Coating: 1-2 tablespoons of dried parsley 2-3 pieces of hard salami, chopped finely (blotted w/a paper towel to remove extra oil) 1/4 cup Parmesan Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
