A few little obsessions

A part of the mid life crisis I think I'm having has been trying new things that are normally out of my comfort zone. 

I'm the first to admit I'm a total creature of habit.  I don't totally freak out when plans change, but I really do prefer order and everything in it's place.  I buy mostly the same food, I always shop at the same clothing stores, I buy the same makeup and haircare over and over, blah blah blah... You get the picture.

Lately I'm trying to be creative and mix things up!! 

I started watching a lot of You Tube Videos on makeup and hair care products.  Being a pretty low maintenance girl, I have a tough time spending a lot of money on this stuff.  I'm getting better though...

Here are a few of my favorite purchases so far. 

Dry Shampoo... I posted on Facebook last night that I'm totally late to this party, but good lawd I love this stuff.  I've been meaning to get some forever and finally went to Target last week to pick this little beauty up.  It was recommended by some hair product "snobs" who said it really is just as good as the pricey stuff (like Bumble and Bumble or Big Sexy Hair). Best part??  It's THREE dollars a bottle!!  Yes! 



Blush.  Ok... I know it's redic that this is exciting for me, but I've never ever ever worn any.  I'm a natural red head and I've always thought adding MORE red to my face seemed super crazy so blush was never on my radar.  I realize now I need to use more everything on my face.  More moisturizer, bronzer, blush, ect.  I'm learning ya'll, I'm learning.  This one is Elf brand from Target which is seriously also THREE dollars (do you see a trend here? Yep - I'm cheap)




Bobbi Brown Gel eyeliner.  I love bold eyes and that is my one feature I really do like about myself (my eyes are a super strange color) so I always love to play up the eyes.  This eyeliner is fantastic and works great for smoky eyes or even for daytime.  Love.
Naked2 Palette.  This is another thing I am in love with.  I was that girl still using the small teeny eyeshadow brushes that come with makeup.  Yep, 1990 called and they want their applicators back!  I've branched out to actually use brushes for all my eye shadows and I love the way they work and the looks I can get with these colors! 


Lace shorts.  I sure hope I'm not too old for these because I love them, but I'm keeping the tags on for now.  They will be my goal shorts.  They look ok on me right now, since I've been working out more my legs don't completely suck, but I want to feel even more comfortable (skinny) in them with some cute wedges.  I really do love them.  (that's not me in the pic... just FYI)

So there you go!  That's what I've been blowing waaayyyy too much money on!  What are your obsessions for this spring?
