Currently Loving

I haven’t done a currently loving post in quite some time and thought I’d share a few things I’ve discovered in the past few weeks/months! 



Garnier Ultra Lift

I mentioned in my September goals that I wanted to start a better nighttime routine and also take care of my eye area a little more. This cream does both – the smell isn’t overpowering and it really leaves my skin feeling clean rather than oily, which is how some other night creams left me feeling. This is more so preventative than actually reducing any wrinkles – I do have a few fine lines that have appeared in the eye area, but I’ll just go with them being laugh lines! 



SOBO Skincare Moisturizer 

As part of the BrandBacker program I was able to try out a new anti-aging face cream. SOBO Skin Care is a new indie brand of natural skin care products. There were a few things I really enjoyed about the product. 1//The bottle made application really easy 2//It’s very light and fresh with no scent 3//They use all natural ingredients. I applied it twice – once in the morning and after my shower – coupled with the Garnier Cream, my skin feels very rejuvenated! There’s a code at the bottom of the post if you’re interested in trying any of the SOBO products. 


Dove Dry Shampoo

I have my sister to thank for this introduction. As a brunette I’ve had a very hard time finding a dry shampoo that doesn’t leave my hair with white residue!! I absolutely love the smell and my initial reaction is a very positive and enthusiastic one! I’ve heard rave reviews of other dry shampoos, but have you tried this one? The amount of product you get for the price is really great! 

Yogurt Pretzels

Last week I went to Trader Joe’s to pick up my beloved Chocolate Covered Pretzel thins…but they were out of stock so I reached for new to me yogurt covered pretzels. These are just as addicting as the regular chocolate covered pretzel thins and hopefully the bits of yogurt adds a little something more to them, as in making them a little better for you! 

The Newlywed Cookbook

My cousin and his girlfriend gifted us this cookbook in March and I’m so sad that I haven’t used it more. This is changing this weekend – I’ve read a few recipes that I’m so excited to try and equally as excited to share with you!! Have any of you tried any recipes from this cookbook?

Gianni Bini Booties

You’ll remember that booties were on myFall Wishlist and my mom went above and beyond and went shoe shopping with me while I was in Florida. I tried on the Vince Camuto booties that I had originally wanted, but sadly the fit wasn’t what I had hoped for. These booties from Dillard’s were even better than the original ones I had posted!! Even though the heel is a little on the tall side – they are crazy comfortable!! 

Just a few of my current favorites! What new products are you loving?

    I did not know Dove made dry shampoo and I just ran out so perfect timing! I always get yogurt covered pretzels for the kids and they totally think they are chocolate! 😉 Love those booties, but I could never walk in them lol!! XO

    Of course those are just "laugh lines", I have the same! But really, I think I need to add that to my routine, I've trained myself to wash / moisturize, but now I need to protect and be preventative with my precious skin.

    And those yogurt pretzels, yes! 🙂

    i used to love the dove but it gave me headaches from the scent. as long as i work in the product with a towel, i don't get white cast. batiste does a tinted one that's great.

    I might have to try the Sobo stuff! I love a lightweight face cream. Especially one without a scent! And yogurt pretzels are my favorite!!! Still obsessed with your new booties too! LOVE!

    I love the Dove & the Suave dry shampoos those two are probably my favorite. I need to get better about my night time routine too, its pretty non existent at the moment.

    I love yogurt pretzels! They are addictive! I'm definitely interested to try the dry shampoo, as a fellow brunette I definitely don't want one that is going to leave residue. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for that dry shampoo tip! I've definitely tried out other brands that leave behind a residue (not fun). I don't know how Trader Joe's does it, but their snacks are always so addicting! They have me hooked on their olive oil popcorn!

    Way to go on the improved night routine! Cannot go wrong starting now girl! You know what? We received that cookbook as a wedding gift and I'm not sure where it even is! I need to find it this weekend!

    I've just fallen in love with the Dove dry shampoo too!!! I have been a huge Batisse lover for years and was hesitant to try this one but I love the smell and the way it makes my hair feel and look!!

    gianni bini DOES make a good shoe! i have a pair of heels that have lasted years and are so comfortable considering the heel is so high. makes me want to check out more! yogurt pretzels…oh man i was eyeing those at wegman's yesterday. sometimes just a couple is enough…but then 5 min later you remember how delicious they are and you get 10 more. haha

    I need to try that Dove dry shampoo- I've been hearing so many good things about it. I love yogurt or chocolate covered pretzels- so addicting!

    I need a good dry shampoo so bad. I haven't liked any that I have tried so far. Maybe Dove will be my next go at dry shampoo

    Super cute booties! I just recently started a nighttime routine with Philosophy's miracle worker night cream and I like it. I'm sure the Garnier one is much more affordable though.

    I need those boots!!!! I love that brand, we don't really have a Dillards near by so its a pain to try to get anything in that line these days. I cant believe they are comfy?!?! I need those!

    I will have to look in to the eye cream, I still haven't found my holy grail one yet!

    i got the sobo serum too! i have to try it out for 2 weeks before i can honestly review it since my skin is so prone to cystic acne, but so far, so good!!

    I have that same eye cream by my bed, works great. Interested to see what you make from the cookbook.

    Oh I really like the sound of that night cream! Putting anything greasy on your face is one of the worst feelings ever so that sounds like a great find! And now I'm craving chocolate covered pretzels– I used to eat them all of the time when I was younger, but I don't think I've had them in years.

    I'm a total product junkie so I love posts like these. I've never tried Dove dry shampoo, though I LOVE Batiste's for the brown-hair reason — they make theirs in different colors to match any hair shade. BUT I can only find it at Ulta which is kind of a hike for me so if I can find Dove dry shampoo closer to home I might just have to give it a try!

    I have often contemplated a night time routine – maybe Ill have to give this a go! The Dove prodcuts always make my hair so heavy, but some people rave about their dry shampoo! Batiste has a brunette version too!

    Those pretzels look yummy! I'm sure I would eat the whole bag in one sitting though. haha. Going to have to try out that eye cream once my current stuff runs out!

    I use that Dove dry shampoo all the time and it works great!! I have to wash my hair every day (yea, it sucks) but this definitely gets a little of the oil out 🙂

    I am a dry shampoo lover…..clearly…..I definitely need to dry the dove one because the Redken one is definitely expensive and doesn't last super long. I got that SOBO stuff I really need to start using it! I love posts like this! Always great to be introduced to new fun products 🙂

    I will definitely have to try that Dove dry shampoo. I just tried some I bought on sale at ULTA for dark hair, and I'm loving it! Also, I will definitely try that Garnier face cream. xo

    I saw that cookbook at Anthro and remembered you said you had it! I always thought it would be such a cute wedding gift. I've tried tons of dry shampoos but never Dove! Batiste is my fav, Not Your Mother's is good too, and I just bought a bottle of Salon Grafix that I'm liking but it's very different from the others. It doesn't leave any residue or feeling of dry shampoo in your hair which is a plus. Dry shampoo is a life savor!!
