Two – Easter
If you don’t follow me on Facebook or Instagram, then I wanted to share our sweet Easter day photo. We spread out all of the Easter festivities throughout the weekend, such as an egg hunt, Easter baskets, church on Easter morning and we went to brunch with my parents. It was a great day!

The Easter Bunny brought Autumn the most AMAZING slime from Amazon (ha!). Seriously, even I was WOW’ed by it. It smells really good, too! It’s called Birthday Cake Cloud Slime and it has really good reviews!
Three – 13th Birthday Trip
And, my son is turning 13 next month. He’ll be (finally) getting his first iPhone and we’re planning a trip away at YMCA Trout Lodge, which is so fun! We haven’t gone since the kids were little. And, now I’ll have a teenager. Craziness. The photo above is from the last time we went to the YMCA Trout Lodge and it was 2013 and Nathan was only 7!! :O And, look how little Autumn is… with her blond hair!
Four – Black Pom Pom Bikini and Yellow Sundress Coverup

I found the perfect black pom pom bikini (top HERE and bottom HERE) for our upcoming Maui trip and a matching yellow sundress coverup at Target. I need to try it on and take some photos soon!

Here is what the bikini and dress look like in the store photos.
Five – Sephora Play!
Shop This Post:
This is my second month getting Sephora Play and I’ve been really pleased with the name brand products they’ve been sending my way. It is $10 a month and you get 5 beauty products plus a 6th bonus product.
Here is what I received:
Urban Decay – Perversion Mascara in Black
I love trying out new mascara, especially when it is a brand I know I love… such as Urban Decay! This small tube will be great for our upcoming vacations. This mascara definitely did the job, without clumps and it gave my lashes a nice up-do!
Farmacy – Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum with Echinacea GreenEnvy
This is an exfoliating night serum that helps to resurface your skin and reduces uneven skin tone and dullness. This is great, after the dry winter months!
Sephora Collection – Triple Action Cleansing Water
This reminds me a lot of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, which is a holy grail product on most of our shelves. I love the small travel size, another great item for vacation!
Laura Mercier – Foundation Primer / Radiance
Laura Mercier are some of my favorite products and I was excited to try the Foundation Primer! It has a tint to it, which gives you light coverage. I tried this out on a rainy day and my makeup stayed put!
Clinique – Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+
I used to get one of these small yellow bottles every time I’d buy my Clinque products during their free gifts promotion. It’s not the lotion I use, but it does work nicely on your skin.
Verb – Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner
I have my hair highlighted and I get lo lights, so this was nice to try out on my hair. It left my hair feeling soft and manageable.
