Yummy Lotion Sunscreen

My friend Catie recently posted on her blog, that in the summer she loves using Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Oil in her bath...for that beachy summertime smell!

I am not a bath Girl...so I thought I would give their lotion sunscreen a try. I bought this one at Target...and does it smelly YUMMY!!! I think because of the "sheer touch" formula...it is really light and feels like your putting on lotion instead of sunsreen. So now after I shower, I lather this goodness on and smell like I am in a tropical paradise.

Let me know if you decide to "go on a tropical getaway" :)

In My Kitchen{Peach Tea~ A new summertime favorite!}

My Mom recently turned me on to homemade Peach Iced Tea.
I have been hooked...it is such a nice change from plain iced tea!

First...do you have one of these??
They are re-usable double wall insulated plastic...
LOVE this cup!
Then I add two pumps of this (or to your taste) into my Starbucks cup filled with ice and sun tea....


Add a slice or two of fresh or frozen peaches...
Delicious on a hot summer day!

DIY Bib Necklace

This morning I was on one of my fav fashion blogs...good life for less, and Jill was showing a cute outfit with a SUPER cute bib necklace she bought off of Etsy (which she is also having a giveaway for...so check it out!). I started browsing around through other blogs and stumbled upon THIS tutorial.

Well, that was all the motivation I needed...I set down my cup of coffee and got to work.

Here is my finished product...LOVE IT!


...and I made one for my little Fashionista!!
