Lucky
Great Colors
Not sure where I was focusing in this bottom photo, but the tags read: "Bubble blowing is encouraged throughout the evening." Is that not the cutest idea ever? I can just imagine such a joy-filled evening with bubbles everywhere. Erica is such a happy person, and I think her wedding reflects her personality so well. She's promised to send over some pictures after the honeymoon, so stay tuned for more fun wedding stuff from Erica.
What were your wedding colors, or what colors do you want for your wedding?
{My wedding was all shades of pink...kind of girly. Thanks, B, for living through that!}

Snack Time
My signature popcorn. Well, I guess I should say it's my grandma's signature popcorn. But I've kind of adopted it as my own. I posted the recipe last summer, and you can find it here if you weren't with me way back then. Also, you can throw in a handful of m&m's for a little color.
Oh, and I shared my sugar cookie recipe earlier too. I don't have a great photo, but you can find it here.
In other news, H starts swimming lessons today. He's a little nervous. Keep your fingers crossed that he actually gets in the pool!

Sweet Kicks
I love this little yellow gladiator. Just the perfect amount of gladiator-ness. Not too over the top.

Pinwheel Pastime
He's still licking his wounds from the pinwheel rejection yesterday. So maybe I can make it up to him by helping him make one of his own. Plus, these would be darling on his little car he likes to ride in the annual July 3 children's parade in my hometown. Photographs and instructions can be found on Martha Stewart, of course.

Definitely check out Tatty Devine Boutique for more quirky, fun stuff. Needless to say, I would have gone bonkers over this stuff in Jr. High.

Tried + True {Christina from Down and Out Chic}
2. I think you can compare facial scrub to floss. A daily cleanser is like toothpaste and we all use it, no questions asked, but floss is a whole other issue. Many of us neglect scrubs just like we neglect flossing...it's sometimes a pain, but it's totally worth it. I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub Renew and Firm formula. This is a gentle, inexpensive cleanser that I can use a few times a week. I always feel like I glow afterwards.
4. My hair has gone through every length possible the past few years and the one products that remains consistent is Loreal tex playball. It's a lightweight pomade that adds texture and I fear that it may have been discontinued. It's lasted me FOREVER until recently when B started using is (what?!). It smells divine.
A big thank you to Christina for contributing this fantastic list. I've always been a huge fan of Carmex and bobby pins. I especially love having product recommendations from friends.
Living on a budget and trying new products can be stressful. I always feel obligated to finish up bottles of bad decisions just because I don't want to waste the money. My friend Emily said that to me once; I think of it every day because I'm right in the middle of one of those bad decisions. So, my friends, don't let that happen to you! Check out the previous posts in my Tried + True series before you fork over your hard earned cash.
