Double Post Thursday

Decided to do a double post today before my crazy, hectic weekend starts! I can't believe how much we have had to cram into this week. We have a thousand things to do/fix up in our new house before moving. On top of that i've had Parent-Teacher Conferences this week, and Josh has a big test tomorrow. Let's hope we make it through! This outfit is an easy, comfy, go-to for me. You can't go wrong with red polka-dot pants and a cardigan.

My Favorite Things

I have been using a few products as of late that have really done me well, so I thought i'd share :) They are all pictured below, starting with the left:

1. John Frieda Luxurious Volume Bountiful Body Mousse

2. John Frieda Luxurious Volume Lavish Lift Root Booster
3. theBalm Eyeshadow
4. theBalm 'Hot Mama' Highlighting Powder Eyeshadow & Blush

 The first thing I wanted to talk about was the John Frieda Volume line....OMG, amaze balls! (My husband will roll his eyes at me if he reads that).  I have very fine, flat hair that can be frustrating to deal with. I heard about this line in various magazines-it had gotten great reviews. I bought it a few months ago and have been loving it. You can put the mousse in your hair after the shower or spritz your roots with the root booster when your hair is damp. It gives your hair an extra lift. Go try it!

 Next up, theBalm cosmetics. Love, love, love! I originally got these in my Birchbox and swooned the first time I used them. The one on the left is a light golden eyeshadow. It goes on so smooth, stays on all day, and is a great neutral, everyday wear, eyeshadow. I can't live without it. The one on the right (Hot Moma) is a eyeshadow/blush mix. I only use this as blush, but again, great quality, great color, stays on all day. Besides all that, they are packaged perfectly....so cute.

Changes

 

 There have been big things going on in the Sharp household as of late. I am happy to announce that we bought our first house! It has been a long, exciting, roller coaster of an experience but it was worth it! We started looking for houses this past fall and found a great house in December. We put an offer in and it got accepted just after Christmas. Then the fun began....getting all of the paperwork together and correct seemed to take forever. We were hoping to close on our house the beginning of February, that didn't happen. FINALLY, we closed and got the keys to our home yesterday :) It is a great feeling and now all of the hard work begins. We have been painting and fixing up the house with every spare second we have. I can't wait for the before/after pictures. For now, I just hope everything goes relatively smooth so that we can move in on time!

Winter to Spring

Have you noticed the trend in my last few posts? I can't stop thinking about spring! I found this cute dress a few weeks ago and I love it more than expected because it'll be perfect to transition into the warmer months. It's a lightweight, comfy fabric that can be worn a million ways! For the cold weekend I paired it with a long sleeved tee, ankle boots, and layered on a denim vest.

Black

I'm officially boycotting this snow with my all black, sort of gloomy outfit. I am SO ready for spring. I miss the sun. I am getting tired of wearing my coats. Let's cross our fingers for an early spring, that groundhog better have been right!

DIY: Easter

Easter....already?! Believe it or not, Easter is just over a month away. I have gathered a good amount of decor for the other holidays but I basically have nothing for Easter. I'm sure you've seen banners all around lately, or you probably have some for your own home. I think they are an easy, cute, fun way to spice up your home. I made an Easter banner using scrapbook paper, cutout letters, string, and laundry clips-simple! The colors are a bit different than the 'usual' Easter colors, but I prefer it.

 

 Next, I HALF made an Easter basket. I saw a few ideas on Pinterest and I thought this would be a fairly easy task. I already had this green Easter basket from last year and I used leftover fabric. I didn't cut the fabric into strands, I ripped them so that they'd have the worn out edges. Then I got to work, all you do is wrap and wrap and wrap. I'm probably not going to use it as Beckett's Easter basket (too small), maybe as a candy holder. Anyways, you can do a lot with these two ideas and make them your own!

 

 

T-shirt & Heels

Haven't you all been loving the sunshine lately? I sure have. Spring is almost here. I got this fun head scarf and really love it, you can wear it so many ways. Besides, it's leopard print-and leopard prints rock.  I also love the idea of mixing fancy and casual, I think its a fun combo. Have a great President's Day Weekend!
