My laid back Sunday.

It's been a great day so far.  I started my day out with some dog sledding with MacGregor and Cricket bright and early just as my hubby was returning from snow plowing all night. 




After coming back inside I took a nice hot shower to warm up from the frigid outside air.  Got ready for the day and worked on making some home made honey white bread.


It's quite the process making homemade bread but sooo worth it!

The bread rises two different times during the process of making it so I took a trip to ulta and tj maxx for a Sunday afternoon shopping trip. I found a new bread pan, a canning kit and a bunch of new make up from ulta. The 20% off coupon I received this week was burning a hole in my pocket! 


After applying my new make up...




Happy Sunday!
What did you all do?

Gone ombre.


I needed to change up my hairstyle so I decided to go big and do the ombre a bit more drastic than I have in the past. These are the results. I'm loving the change:)

New bubble curling wand.


    I had the day off so off to Ulta I went.  I had a gift card from Christmas burning a hole in my pocket so here's what I found:

    A newly released curling wand from Hot tools... They call it a bubble wand.  On the front of the box it suggested it was perfect for beachy waves, which is exactly the kind of curl I wanted so I gave it a try.  Plus it's on sale for $39.99 right now.  It worked great I'm very happy with my purchase, I took a before and after pic so you could see how my hair started out.  Also keep in mine I'm not very talented when it comes to hair so this goes to show its easy to use.
 
Here is the link if you want one too!

    I also bought this hair product by Chi so that my curls would be protected from the heat and also stay in place. It's called Chi 44 iron guard. I bought the sample size which was only $5.50 to try it out.  It made my hair feel nice and silky and so far the curls are keeping well.

    Lastly I tried out a new foundation because my other are getting to dark due to lack of sun.  I was suggested to try a new foundation from philosophy, which is specifically good for dry skin, which is exactly what mine is right now.  It's called philosophy hope in a jar foundation.  I like it a lot so far, and it's supposed to make your face feel nice and soft like their popular hope in a jar moisturizer.
 

Have any of you tried any of these products or do you think you may?
