1. I won this skirt from a giveaway a few weeks ago and of course was happy to have another maxi skirt option these days. I'm pretty sure that even if I wasn't pregnant I'd still be wearing maxi skirts all summer.
2. I bought this book last week and cried in the store reading it. I'm going to bring it with us to the hospital and have people who come visit us sign it.
4. I am not a huge makeup person and could use some serious lessons in applying makeup as I do the same thing if I'm running errands or going to a wedding. I was really excited when I got the MaryKay Influenster box to try out their products.
MaryKay Lash Love Lengthening Mascara: I normally buy the $1 elf brand mascara but did really like this one and it stayed on longer for sure.
Mary Kay Cream Eye Color & Concealer Brush: It's hard to see in the picture but it is this pretty violet color and I loved it.
Mary Kay Lash Primer: I've never used a lash primer and do have short eyelashes so anything that makes them a little longer is good in my book.
MaryKay True Dimension Lip Stick: I never wear lipstick and am so glad this color was lighter because it was even a stretch for me but I did really like it and will definitely wear it. This was my favorite product of the group as I keep telling myself that someday I'd wear lipstick.
5. While I'm getting a little anxious waiting for our baby girl to make her appearance I am trying hard to enjoy this time of relaxing until she comes. Last Sunday Chris, Molly and I spent a good amount of time just laying around and it was wonderful.
Want to see more instragram pictures and make sure to see whenever our baby girl does arrive? Follow me @katiejvale.
I hope you have a great weekend!
(I received the MaryKay products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.)
I got the MaryKay box too!!! I liked all of the items, except for I'm not a huge fan of that lash primer...I never even heard of lash primer before I got my box ;) You hair looks super cute in that make-up picture too! :)
I bought that same book for my sister this week -- who will be giving birth any day now to the first grandchild in our family! I literally started crying in the middle of Barnes & Noble and my fiancé told me I looked like a crazy person. A little kid asked his mommy if something hurt my feelings! HAHA! Such an amazing book!
That book is one of our favorites! We've read it every single night since we brought our little man home. We also recently picked up "Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You," by Nancy Tillman and that's been added to our nightly list as well. They both have me teary eyed. Still. :)
Aw, Molly is so sweet! Have I ever told you that my brother and his wife are Chris and Molly? Haha. Random. That's so fun that you got to try all the Mary Kay stuff! And the s'mores bars look amazing!
I love maxi skirts and dresses for summer they are just so comfy and so cute!! You look great and that makeup makes you look flawless!! That book looks sooo soo sweet I would have probably cried too. What a great idea to have people sign it. I have always loved and cried when I read "The Kissing Hand".
I can't wait to hear the news of the big arrival! I love days were you can just lay around and read. Your selfie looks great! You should consider letting me use it for the "Selfie Esteem" portion of my blog. ;)
You KNOW I love me a good maxi! And this one falls right in with my "favorite Katie maxi outfits" haha... Love the necklace you paired with it also. :)
i wish i would have gotten a book like that for the hospital..so sweet :) also, yeah even after pregnancy i still frequent the maxi dresses and skirts. so comfy and practical with a new babe.
Love that idea of having all your hospital visitors sign the book. So sweet!! Glad you are getting some R&R time too before the baby comes. What are you reading? :)
