Weekend Rewind. What's in my Bag?

I am skipping my iTUNESday for today and maybe for a while... who knows!

Time for Weekend Rewind, What's in my Bag?

Your going to be disappointed that I actually didn't have any cute clothes,

accessories, or make-up, but did have some fun memories!

My sweet friend, Lonnie, came over Friday night for pizza and a movie

and I coaxed her into doing a Lush mask with me! We chose to do the

Brazened Honey that claims to polish skin that is in serious need of a boost.

If you didn't read my Lush Haul post... this is a cosmetic store that hand makes

products with fresh all natural ingredients.

So, this is my second mask I have tried that I bought and I have to say I'm not just

sold on them. They are very different b/c they have to be refrigerated b/c the ingredients

are so fresh. I love that part of it, but the consistency is very chunky and a bit messy.

I guess I was expecting greater results... I wanted my skin to just feel amazing, soft,

and bright. hmmm. Maybe my expectations are too high for a $6.95 mask.

We are goofy! I love my Lonns! She is like the baby sister

I never had! We are the same person in many ways!

Then Saturday I went to Morgan Creek Vineyards for the annual

Grape Stomp and wine tasting! This was my first year to go and it was

such a great day! Perfect weather and great atmosphere.

For those of you that are not aware... Morgan Creek is a vineyard/winery in

Harpersville, AL that produces muscadine wine. You can buy their wines at

Publix and other grocery stores across the state.

Here is Alison getting ready to go into the tasting. Doesn't she look

SO cute!

This was the bucket of stomped grapes that we shared!

Ya'll it was the nastiest feeling ever!

We decided to share a bucket to be cute! This is us stomping away!

Our feetsies after. YUCK! If your wondering what shades we have

on our toes.

And again...

What a goofball! She HAD to frolic around.

Saturday night I went over to my friend Valerie's house and got to meet

her oh so sweet aunt Ida Sue who has started selling a skincare line by Rodan and Fields.

You may know them as being the dermatologists that founded Pro-Active for acne

prone skin. Well, they have developed a new line that targets more mature skin and

your skin type. So, this was kind of like a product launch party.

As you can see above they classify your skin into categories of reverse, anti-aging,

unblemish, and smoothe based on a quick 5 question survey describing your skin

and problem areas.

This is my friend Val... she is AWESOME! Love this girl. We used

to work together and I forgot how much I missed her and all our "talks" about

life and relationships and different perspectives. BUT, lucky for us we have

totally reconnected lately and it's been SO much fun!

Anyway, what she is doing in this pic is a technique they call "Rolling." This blue

device she is using is actually patented by Rodan and Fields. You use this device after

you have cleansed your face. With comfortable pressure you roll your entire face and

neck 4-10 times changing directions. After rolling you would then apply the serum or night

cream.

So, why roll? What is the point of this?

It is designed to amp up your anti aging results. It is non-invasive skincare roller clinically

proven to safely and effectively condition the uppermost layers of the skin to allow

for maximum benefits.

What does it feel like?

VERY interesting! Don't quote me on this, but I think this device has some kind of needles

in it so it has this tingly feeling that in a way is kind of like a finger prick, which I know

does not sound very pleasant to put on your face, but it doesn't hurt.

Doing this technique allows your creams and serums to not just sit on the surface of your

skin, but go inside where needed.

Another interesting fact:

This product was named by The Today Show as one of Best Anti-Aging Products

for 2011. :) I love The Today Show so this makes me happy!

OH, AND I GOT ENGAGED!!!!

NOT!! Val just let me where her gorgeous ring during the party!

It was a fun weekend! Good times. Good friends. Great memories.

Thank you God for richly blessing my life.

Friday Product Faves

Happy Friday To All! What a week this has been...

Cheers to the weekend.

So, as I did last week I am going to feature some Friday Faves of things that I have been

using this week. Enjoy and have a happy weekend.

Look who dipped into the I Love Lettuce Lush mask last night...

If I was ever in need of a pampering last night was it!

So, this is how it looked on my face. This picture does not even come close to doing

justice to how gross this stuff looked. I looked like I had a disease or had boogers smeared

all over my face!! YUCK! But, I can say it did leave my face feeling tight and re-freshed.

Sticking with green theme... I have been loving the color olive on my eyes. I did a post

about this recently and just cannot get over how pretty olive looks with brown eyes. I am

not a big green person (on my face that is) and olive just is setting very well with me

these days.

Clinique: All Spruced Up Duo

Merle Norman: Hazel

On my nails this week I did "Jules" by Zoya.

It's a champagne light gold color.

Here is the bottle.

I changed out my purses this week. This is a bag I got a couple years ago at

Shop Suey Boutique in Redlands, CA.

They do celebrity/designer inspired knock off bags.

Love me some shop suey! There bags hold up great and they are super affordable.

Can I just say I have THE BEST FRIENDS EVER! My friend Heather AKA "Buss" took

me to Cracker Barrel this week to catch up and bought my dinner. So sweet. No wait, it

doesn't stop there. I was browsing in the store after we ate and picked up a couple things

that looked appealing to me... ie the Woodwick candle in Currant and chocolate fudge.

She grabs them both and buys them for me as a sweet surprise to make me feel better.

How sweet is that? She is seriously one of the most giving sacrificial people I know.

Always looking to do something for someone else. Lessons to be learned from people

like her! Love you Buss!

And last, what other than a Labor Day treat from my mom. Those of you that know

my mom know that she is the world's best at surprises and "treats" as I like to call them.

She got this cute lavender top at this boutique shop in Cullman called

"What a Girl Wants" I believe is the name. She said they had lots of super cute

outfits... so you Cullman gals need to check it out. : )

Have a great weekend!
