phone case love


hi gorgeous loves! 


I am here today talking one of my favorite things, phone cases! I think that your phone case can really show off your personality. Cases are a mandatory thing now, so sick of scratching up my phone! I personally like to show off my fun side with mine, so color, cute words, cute graphics, etc are always a plus! What better way to show this off than personalizing your own case?!

CaseApp is such neat concept, especially for my creative blogger friends! I love having a case that I know no one else has because I designed it and also got to promote my blog with it!

I don't want you guys to miss out on this great company so I was gifted a 20% off code for y'all to set a computer skin or phone case .... just use code LINDSAYOTIS20 at checkout!

I have some pictures of the gorgeous case I was able to create so make sure to let me know what you guys come up with for yours!



I'm also able to do a free giveaway of a phone case...just comment below with your favorite phone app and I'll pick a winner next Friday!

Fri-Favs

hi loves! happiest of Fridays!

current mood:

Friday's are my favorite, for many obvious reasons but I love doing Friday Favorites because it's always a happy post to write and to read y'all's! I had a great week getting to share my favorite drugstore items, my love for the holiday edition of Southern Living magazine and do a twist on one of the articles from that mag with my own mama.

1|| favorite quote- sometimes wanting to change is enough for the day.


2||
Banana Boat Sunless Tanner- This is an item I forgot on my drugstore post but it's good enough to put on a Friday favorites list. I've heard great things about some semi-expensive self tanner options but this is the best I've found from the drugstore and my budget range. Rub on your skin just like lotion, make sure you rub well/evenly and it works like a charm. I'm kinda obsessed with the color too.

A sweet soul sent me this beautiful poncho from Forever21 and it's quickly become my favorite item this fall.

4|| Okay, okay..I've officially become that girl. I needed a show and Vampire Diaries was just sitting there..waiting to be watched. So I just did it, ya know. I binged. Confession time, I liked it..okay I loved it. Therefore, making it a favorite this week #colormeashamed

5|| I heard this song on the radio at work the other day and it just hit me at the right moment. This is such an issue I have with being my own worst enemy and this song is a sweet reminder to be kind to yourself.

Favorites: Drugstore Edition

hi gorgeous loves!

I had a great weekend, but semi-boring worthy to talk about honestly. Y'all don't need to hear how I colored on Friday night while Tripp had his last high-school football game to coach or how I cleaned on Saturday while Tripp had to take wrestlers for their weigh in...then we napped and churched the rest of the weekend..so since there isn't much to say or show for that..we're talking favorite drugstore products {one of my favorite topics}! Linking up with Biana!


I was raised to be quite the product lover [courtesy of my mama] and I have proven to possibly love them even more than her. I try almost anything new and few things actually become a permanent place in my regimen but it sure is fun trying all of it!

Here are my current drugstore favorites:

I will literally NEVER stop talking about this stuff, it is the best thing that has happened to my hair {besides color} and I've tried all sorts of salon types that are supposed to do the same thing {just better} and I ALWAYS come back to this plus for $6, I ain't mad! 
I've never really given high-end mascara a chance so I can't compare it to any of that stuff but I will say out of all the drugstore brands I've tried this is becoming a fast favorite [taking the place of my old favorite, Falsies]. 

Another one I've tried to do without and whenever I put it back in the line up, it always proves its worth. Time and time again! My hair is thick but fine and will be pretty limp unless I add something to it while it's wet. This item is PERFECT for that! 

I've tried over a handful of dry shampoos from TJ Maxx to drugstores and this one has proven to be the best smelling, easy to apply, non-sticky of them all! It makes my hair feel actually CLEAN and not just hide the oil like most. This is a "can't do without" at the moment! 

I've been using this since I started wearing make up to get my mascara/eye make up off and even though I've tried using other methods, I always come back to this one. In my opinion, it's the most gentle way to take off mascara. I've used brands of eye makeup remover that would ripe my eye lashes out and this just softens them up and never leaves them red or irritated. 
Last but certainly not least, I just started using liquid eye liner a few months ago because y'all know by now that I love a good cat eye and this goes on like butter! I recently ran into my CVS and they were out so I bought some cheapo kind from covergirl and it just can not even COMPARE. All time favorite!

Okay! Now it's your turn...what are some favorites that I don't have on here so I can go try them like today, please share!

favorite: summer moment

Hi wonderful people! 
How was your weekend?! Mine was swell! Today I am sharing my favorite summer moment this year.





I don't have just one, it was such a great summer with my husband that I am sharing several moments with y'all!
We did some bike riding and some pup walking that was really good quality time! We had some great talks on the walks and burned some calories {it eventually got too hot here in Alabama to do this but in June we were on this trail at least twice a week}! 







We spent a lot of time being Aunt and Uncle which is always a favorite of ours! They still go to daycare during the summer but on the weekends we got some quality time.

We spent some major family time!



Then our anniversary beach trip with our mommas was definitely up there!




&& Finally we had several dates night that we don't necessarily get during the school year!










What was y'alls favorite summer moment!? Any similar to mine?!


PS. Today is National Overdose Awareness Day which you know is close to my heart. Please take a moment of silence for all of those who have lost their lives to accidental overdoses and their families.


See you tomorrow for Show and Tell Tuesday!
