This Week’s Favorites #3

WEARING // T-shirt | Jeans | Sandals | Earrings | Bracelet

I am all about the neutral colors these days. You seriously can’t go wrong with a comfy t-shirt, a pair of flattering jeans, and statement earrings for a little flare. I am obsessed with these AG jeans! I bought them last winter on sale, and I wear them all the time. They are currently on sale again as part of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, so snag them now before the price goes back up on August 6th! I have a basic v-neck t-shirt on in this picture from Target, but there are some really cute tees that are also on sale during the Nordstrom sale. My earrings are a little hard to see in this picture, but I love them and wear them weekly. They are also on sale right now.

LISTENING // Stephanie Bruce on I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein Podcast

I’ve watched Stephanie Bruce go from having one baby, to two babies, to dealing with diastasis recti and her postpartum stomach drawing attention to her, to now being a US Champion in the road 10K. Her story in really inspiring, and I love that she has a passion to help spread positivity in the sport. She openly shares her story on being pregnant with her second son much sooner than she planned on and how hard that was for her at the time. But she persevered, didn’t give up after having kids, and now had her big break in Atlanta at the Peachtree race when she won a US Championship title. Lindsey asks a lot of great questions in this podcast, and Stephanie share her story opening and authentically.

READING // Blog Posts

Sadly, I have been seriously lacking on reading any books lately. I have been reading these blog posts though:

USING // Beautycounter Satin Powder Blush

Not until I became a Beautycounter consultant did I start using blush. I’ve used bronzer in the past, but now I like to contour my cheeks and face with a blush, bronzer, and highlighter. Yes, a couple extra steps, but it only takes a few extra seconds to swipe on all three and totally worth it in my opinion. I love the new Satin Powder Blushes that Beautycounter just released. They are absolutely gorgeous colors, go on so easily, and stay on all day. They have new bronzers as well, and this is the highlighter I like to use!

And P.S. I am still loving the Overnight Resurfacing Peel (a chemical peel in a jar but much less expensive) that I first blogged about in this post.

EATING // Healthy Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato Skins

I made these Healthy Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato Skins last night for dinner, and they were a huge hit! I have made them before, but I was reminded of how good they are! To be honest, they do take a little planning ahead since you need to bake the sweet potatoes and chicken, but if you do meal prep, this could easily be done ahead of time, and then they would come together in a pinch!

SHOPPING // Oiselle & Nordstrom

I have been eyeing a bunch of things from Oiselle lately. (I go in phases of really liking their things and then to not loving a lot.) Right now I really want to buy this white sports bra (I am obsessed with anything and everything white.), this tank top (that I tried on during our trip to Seattle), and these shorts. They also just released a few fall running items, and I might just have to buy this long sleeve top in the color: ‘Saturday’ when the weather cools down, which will be sooner than later as our summer rains have already started.

I am also still shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The prices go back up on Monday, August 6th, so snag the items now!
