Football Season and what to wear!

2013 right before we were engaged! Mason is pretending to be
an Alabama fan for me.  

There are so many reasons why I love fall. The clothes, weather, decorations, Mason and I both have a birthday in the fall, pumpkins, and the list goes on. But for Mason there is one real reason why he loves the fall. FOOTBALL! Just like an other southern man football dominates his life. I think it's cute that he get so excited. I like the atmosphere of the games and enjoy tailgating as much as the next person but what I really get excited about is planning my outfits for the games. Haha...it's so funny that I spend more time thinking about what I will wear to a game than I even actually watch the game. 


Of course you can go the route of wearing your favorite team's jersey, t-shirt, etc. That's not really my style but I'm not knocking it. I prefer to incorporate my own game day look by using my own clothes that I wear daily. For example, for a chilly fall game I would suggest wearing black leggings a a cute black or red shirt and maybe a furry vest over it. Here is a look that I am going after for the first Bama Game we are attending. The game is September 13th. So there is a very good chance that the game will be hot. It's always good to wear layers so if you do get a little hot and can take things off.  What will all of you be wearing to football games this year? Roll Tide! :) 

Leah's Latest Obsessions

My latest five obsessions are amazing! I suggest in adding them to your wishlists ASAP. Let's get to it!

1.)  Sarah Potempa, The Beachwaver- This product is so great. It gives you the waving hair you have always wanted in just a few minutes. I can't tell you all how many compliments I have had on my hair since I started doing this. Only drawback...the price. At $200 it's a splurge I know but let me go ahead and justify it because it's WORTH every penny. You can thank me later! If you want to see more reasons you need this hair tool YOUTUBE the beachwaver. It is so easy to use and I love that!

2.) If you know anything about me you know how much I love bright lipstick. It makes me happy and turns any ordinary outfit into something fab. If you are like me a love a color to pop I suggest purchasing the Two Face Melted Lip Gloss. I have never had a lip stick so vibrate.   

3.) I have fallen in love with Mad Men. I know I'm only 10 years behind everyone else but it's so good. I just can't stop watching it. I love this show. The characters, the plot, the clothing.  Netflix and I will have a date again tonight. 

4.) I always have been and most likely always will be in love with monograms. But lately, I have caught myself loving monograms even more. I love M's! So happy my new last night looks great being monogrammed. :)

5.) And as always I'm obsessed with my two little fur balls, Sampson and Max. Love these little puppies so much! 

It's so important...FOUNDATION!

                                                               

                                               

In the beauty world there are things that can make or break you. Example...FOUNDATION! I really believe paying for high quality foundation versus drugstore brand makeup. I'm not knocking the beloved brands such as Maybelline, Revlon, or even Almay because I am supporters of them when it comes to lipsticks and eye makeup products. However, for actual foundation I think you should spend a little bit more and get a product that matches your skin perfectly and blends well with your other products. Foundation is all about preference. I have a very good friend who instead of wearing foundation each day she opts for a tinted moisturizer and that works for her. I'm a girl who likes coverage. I want my makeup to stay in place all day. I don't really want to reapply anything other than maybe a little lipstick after lunch. I have tried and used so many different types of foundations and I have to say my all time favorite is MAC...Pro Long Wear. MAC offers several different types of foundations but I am a personal fan of the Pro Long Wear Line because of the way it wears on my skin. 

I wear NC 25. It's always good to get your makeup matched by a Makeup Artist that works at the store. Don't be afraid to speak your mind if you do not think the foundation is the right color. 

Here are my reason's for loving this product.

1.) This product goes on so smooth. It's easy to apply. I use my foundation brush each day.

2.) I feel like the texture of the makeup. It's not too thick but it's not too light either. It's the perfect coverage for me.

3.) The pump is easy to use and it's a great product for traveling. 

4.)  MAC rewards their customers for returning to purchase more products. It's call the recycling program. Once you have six bottles of foundation that are empty you can bring them in and exchange your old foundation bottles for a lipstick or an eye shadow. It does take a while to accumulate six bottles of foundation but hey I'll take free any day!     

5.) Finally, my reason for loving this product is it LAST. Morning, noon and night. This product does not come off my face. It makes it though an entire day. I never have to reapply and it still looks good at night when I am washing all of my makeup off. 

Just so you know, I have not been paid or compensated by MAC. These are my thoughts and opinion about a product that I love.  

Happy Day!

Making a list of things that make me happy is not the easiest because I could keep going and going. Of course my husband, puppies, family and friends make me happy. But all of those things are a given. There are things that I do for myself daily or weekly that really make me happy. It really is the simple things. Hope everyone has a great day! 

Mississippi Weekend Recap!

This weekend was a lot of fun. Mason and I had a great time spending time with his side of the family and friends, finding out that we are having a nephew in December, and enjoying some delicious food. Here are the pictures I took during our short weekend trip. 

Traveling with my two little love bugs is usually a piece of cake but this time, little Max had tummy problems. We have to make multiple stops but he is now feeling better. 

Saturday we headed to Erin's Mother's house for the Gender Reveal Party. I of course was sporting my pink!

Mason's little cousin Bella Sue is just the cutest little thing ever!

Taking a selfie at the party~

Love love love Nanny!

Soon to be Grandmothers! 

Love these two ladies!

& IT'S A BOY!!! We are all so excited!!!!

After the party and the 99+ heat we headed to get a snowball. 

Ms. Sharon and Mason :) 

Saturday Evening we headed to the infamous, Shed Restaurant and Bar for some live music. We got to see some of Mason's friends as well. It was a fun night!

After the Shed it was time for us to hit the Casino. Mason was a winner and racked up on $250 on BlackJack!! Go Mason!

Finally Sunday mid morning it was time to head home. Sampson enjoyed his water from a Lenny's cup! haha
Such a cutie! 

Mississippi Bound!

We are in route to Biloxi for a fun weekend. Tomorrow we find out if we will have a niece or nephew and I am so excited to find out! The gender reveal party invitation said to wear a pink shirt if you think it's a girl and blue if your vote is a boy. I will be sporting my pink shirt while Mason is in his blue. We can't wait to see who is right.

We are looking forward to seeing our family and having a great weekend! 

Work Events

Work lately has been crazy! I have had events 3 to 4 days a week, which are usually at night and in an hour and a half away from my home. While it does make the day extra long and me very exhausted the next day I wouldn't trade my job for the world. Hosting events is just one part of my job but its one of my favorite parts. I love that I am able to be creative everyday and bring my visions to life. I love that other people get to enjoy themselves. I get to host parties all the time and I love it!I thought it would be a good idea to document some of my most favorite work events I have put together. From cooking demos, to interior designer CEU training, to Girls Night Out Events, Food Bloggers, Builder Appreciation Luncheon, to Charity Events and so much more So without further a due let's get started!
