Rodan & Fields - - full review

My friend Jenn reached out to me a while ago and wanted me to review Rodan and Fields. I have been interested in the skin care line for quite some time, but just had never jumped in. As I am approaching the later half of my 30s, it’s time to get serious about skin care. The reality is, I probably should have gotten serious about it a decade ago… But hindsight is 20/20. Before we go forward, I wasn't to be clear...I paid for this product. I am in no way being compensated for my words or opinions. All are my own.

The thing about Rodan and Fields, it’s not cheap. This works in my favor, because I am cheap so there was no way I was gonna waste this money. The price forced me to take it more seriously than other skin care options I had tried. After about a week, I found the routine that worked for me. I put the scrub in the shower the night cream next to my bed. If I’m being honest, I probably only followed the regimen as directed about 50% of the time. I find myself taking showers and washing my face at odd hours. Whether it be yardwork or playing tennis, I often take showers during my youngest nap. This puts me in a quandary at 3 PM do I use the day cream and night cream??? Needless to say, after some experimenting and tweaking I found what works for me. I probably only use the scrub/face face wash once a day but I am trying to be very deliberate about the creams.

I have very watery eyes, so I use waterproof mascara. I found that I had to use a foaming gentle face wash to get my mascara off as opposed to the scrub exclusively. I also like the idea of double cleansing the sweat and make up off at the end of the day.

I continue to be impressed at how long these products last. I am eight weeks plus in to my products and still have plenty to spare. I’m looking forward to train more Rodan and Fields. I especially want to try the roller and serum.

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.
