A FEW FALL FAVORITES

September 14, 2015 & 2 Comments

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you all had a nice weekend! I had a hair appointment smack dab in the middle of my Saturday which made my time with Stephan and the kiddos seem too short, but we still had fun and got a lot done.

Fall is here! I know technically not, but school is back in session and Starbucks has the Pumpkin Spice Latte (with real pumpkin this year!)…so to me, it’s fall ; ) Today I want to share a few of the items I’m loving right now. I love to be cozy and comfortable in the fall, but I still want to look cute and of course keep some sparkle!

J.Crew V Neck Cardigan Sweater with Embellished Pocket

Express Fringe Heel Faux Suede Bootie

J. Crew Crystal Grid Earrings

Sam & Libby for Target Chelsea Metallic Bow Flats

Dottie Couture Love More Box Sign

I would love to know what you’ve been loving for fall! I definitely need to do a big fall clothing, and I’d love some help! I love comments : ) Please subscribe and share!! More subscribers means more fun giveaway opportunities for each of you! xo

HOME DECOR ITEMS YOU’VE BEEN MISSING OUT ON!

August 31, 2015 & 2 Comments

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I haven’t talked much about home decor on here and that is simply because we are in our starter home on a limited budget. Someday, whenever the time is right and we move, be sure that I will be posting LOTS of home decor things because I*CAN’T*WAIT! However, I do have certain pops that I use in our home, especially for my corner office (read: desk/vanity combo in our bedroom corner) and for filming my YouTube videos. There are SO MANY fun things out there, and here are a few hidden gems that I wanted to share because they are too fabulous not to.

1. White Faux Taxidermy

These are AHHMAZING! I have this one on my gallery wall and adore it.

2. Studio Mucci Tassle Garlands

Amina, the artist behind the amazing tasstle garland I have in my video backgrounds that I get constant questions on in the comments, is nothing short of amazing! Everything she posts is inspiring, uplifting, and fun! Shes so bright & bubbly, and such a confident woman!

3. Ikea Alex Drawers

If you aren’t storing your makup in these and you have a big collection RUN to your nearest Ikea! My nearest Ikea is 4 hours away, so I had my parents run there for me a couple of years ago, because shipping cost double the price of the drawers…um no! I do know that you can find them on Amazon.com with more affordable shipping. A lot of people like the Alex 9 drawer unit for makeup, but I prefer the Alex 6 because you can lay your makeup out flat so you can actually see what you have.

4. Anthropologie Moroccan Wedding Pillow

This is a lust item for me, it definitely has a steep price tag, but oh how yummy and gorgeous!

5. TwentyEight12 Pillow Covers

I adore the gold sequin one and the black and white stripe! These could be popped on the throw pillows that came with a couch and gift it a whole new look!

I would love to hear what you’ve been loving lately! Let me know!! xo

Lilly Pulizter for Target Favorites & Info!

April 8, 2015 & 2 Comments

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I love Lilly Pulitzer. I love Target. Now, if you haven’t heard yet, these two *beautiful* things are coming together. Yep, a beautiful beautiful collab is happening here folks!!! On April 19th the Lilly Pulitzer line for Target is launching!! I’ll give you a minute incase you didn’t know

…

Ahhhhh!!! Right?!? I am SO excited! I adore Lilly but the prices totally kill me, and I have don’t have much because of that. But the look book for the Target collection show completely reasonable (in my opinion) price points which is making this even more exciting. I want to get a few of the online only items AND make the trip to Target (most of you know it is actually a trip for me…”boo” to no close Target!) on the 19th. Is that nuts? Whatever, it’s very likely happening ; )

Today I want to share a few of MY favorites with you, links included, and get you excited for this fabulous collection! But in all honesty, pretty much the entire collection is my favorite soooo yeah, there is that. Also, they have a girls collection, and I have an almost 4 year-old…yeaaaah that’s also happening! Mother/Daughter matching outfits may be happening!

POPSUGAR MUST HAVE BOX DECEMBER 2014!! BONUS POST

December 19, 2014 & 1 Comment

Hi there! Happy Friday!!

Today I have ANOTHER bonus post because I got my December PopSugar Must Have Box and have to share it with you right away! It’s suuuuch a good one!

If you don’t know, the box contains full size items in all different categories: food, beauty, fashion, home, and sometimes an extra goodie too! *Usually* the PopSugar box usually arrives between the 10th-15th of every month for me…it ships from California via FedEx Smart Post, which means it goes out FedEx but arrives to my P.O Box.

December 2014 Must Have Box:

Speckled Metallic Scarf from SPUN by Subtle Luxury

I love this! Anything metallic, especially gold, catches my eye! I absolutely love this lightweight scarf and think it’s a great way to add a little sparkle to any outfit.

$62

Sydney Necklace from Sparkle Pop

This is by far my favorite thing in the box!! It is *so* sparkly! I was doing my monthly unboxing with my 3 year old, and she nearly broke my heart when she said “Mom! Check and see if there is another one in the bag” because she loved it so much, too. I couldn’t blame her, it’s stunning!

$42

Platinum Bowl by Canvas Duaville

This bowl is plain matte white on the outside, but on the inside it is a super sparkly platinum! This looks PERFECT with the Sydney Necklace above tossed inside! I adore this for a jewelry catch-all.

$29

Be Legendary Long-Wear Lip Lacquer

This deep bordeaux color is perfect for winter! I thought that staying power was great, and I haven’t braved it without a lip liner yet, but with a liner I didn’t have any bleeding or feathering. I really like this color, the gloss formula (again, my DRY lips need it!), and the stain it left was beautiful! Even after eating out at a mexican resturant!

$24

Parcel Tags from Knot & Bow

These little tags are cute! I think they would look adorable with a name written in gold sharpie : ) I don’t love these for Christmas gifts, but I like them for other gift giving, or labeling around the house! I love that these are from an etsy.com shop!

Cupcake Mix in Vanilla Bean from William-Sonoma

I was hoping for some fancy smancy chocolate this month, but I am not complaining about this ; ) I love William-Sonoma cooking ware, but haven’t tried any of their mixes. Hailey, my 3 year old, LOVES to bake with me! So, we will have fun with these even though I wouldn’t pay this much for cupcake mix myself : )

$14.95

I looooove this box! The $175.95 total value is fabulous and I think this box is absolutely worth the $39 price! Do you subscribe to PopSugar? If you would like to you can sign up here for $39/month! If there are any other subscriptions that you think I need to try, let me know in the comments or find me on social media! It’s always LeahTackles : ) Good luck getting all of your last minute Christmas shopping, baking, and wrapping done this weekend!!

Easy Reindeer Candy Cane DIY and Elf On the Shelf Ideas!

November 26, 2014 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday! And Happy Thanksgiving Eve (that is SO a thing! promise) : )

My 3 year old, Hailey, and I have so much fun making crafts together, and during the holidays it seems extra special. Today I want to share a very simple and very fun craft that we did last week together on one of her snow days home from school.

Because Thanksgiving is TOMORROW (already!!!), I know a lot of homes will have their Elf on the Shelf returning to visit on Friday or soon after, so I have enough Elf-y ideas for Black Friday through Christmas Eve to get you ready! Our elf, McJingle Toes, was VERY popular in our house last year, and now that our oldest is really into it, we have to up our game this year ; )

EASY REINDEER CANDY CANE DIY:

What You’ll Need:

Candy Canes

Pipe Cleaners

Tiny Googly Eyes

Small Red Pom Pom

Glue

Step 1:

Wrap the pipe cleaner around the top of the candy cane and shape into antlers.

Step 2:

Glue on the googly eyes and red nose.

Step 3:

Enjoy your cute little craft! These make great add-ons for holiday gifts or baked goods, and you can really make them your own! I think next year we will add some ribbon, brown noses for some of the reindeer…who knows what else!

ELF ON THE SHELF IDEAS:

1) “I’m Back” sign with door decorated like a present or balloons and if it’s your first year doing it have your Elf ask for name!

2) Elf head first into a holiday M&M bag

3) Googly eyes on fruit with “I’m watching you” sign that Elf is holding

4) New toothbrushes as gift with a note or smile written in toothpaste by Elf

5) Red noses drawn on picture frames with dry erase markers or small pom poms

6) Mustache on frame with dry erase marker and paper mustache on Elf

7) Elf hanging off Keurig or coffee pot to help make mom or dads coffee

8) Elf in a rocket ship made out of toliet paper tubes

9) Elf making a micro marshmallow (in hot cocoa section of grocery stores) or mini marshmallow snow angel

10) Make “Elf Milk” with green food coloring in fridge

11) Sled going down the coffee table

12) Elf playing Candy Land or similar game with “friends” like Barbie or stuffed animals

13) Make “Super Elf” with cape and badge

14) Elf inside a “snowglobe” made from Pyrex bowl and mini marshmallows

15) Elf hanging from a slinky

16) Elf with supplies to make Jesus a birthday cake or birthday party

17) Elf with directions for a shoebox donation or similar charity project for kids

18) Elf making a snowman scene out of marshmallows, frosting, tooth picks, etc

19) Elf being a pointsettia in a flower pot with construction paper around face to make him the flower

20) Elf setting up a fun craft project for kids like a gingerbread house kit

21) Elf making a pancake breakfast! This one is great for weekends. Make snowmen pancakes with bacon scarf, blueberry eyes, marshmallow snow, etc

22) Elf on a sleigh made out of 2 DVDs and 2 plastic candy canes filled with candy

23) Elf sitting on canned goods and a note to take them to a food bank or collection center

24) Elf with paper to write a letter to Santa

25) Elf laying on the beach with sunglasses, sun, and water made out of paper and sand made out of brown sugar

26) Elf in sink with water dyed blue with food coloring and aluminum foil boat or fishing in the sink for Goldfish Crackers

27) *Note: If you started the day after Thanksgiving and did it everyday this day #27 would be Christmas Eve

Put Christmas Eve PJs into a box with candy, popcorn, and Christmas DVDs to watch as a family that night and a goodnight note or sign from your Elf.

As always, if you have found this post helpful, interesting, or liked it PLEASE share it and “pin” it to your Pinterest account! All the buttons you need are at the bottom of every post!! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones! Please travel safely! Oh, and be kind to people on Black Friday, especially the retail workers!!

MUAH!

POPSUGAR MUST HAVE BOX OCTOBER 2014! AND BUTTER LONDON GIVEAWAY!!!

November 3, 2014 & 34 Comments

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Okay, I know it’s November now, but I JUST got my October box last Thursday. If you are subscribed to the PopSugar Must Have Box then you know that they had MAJOR issues this month after revamping their website. People had issues with shipping and also with billing. I am disappointed, but I also understand that things happen. My experiences with customer service have always been good, and that says a lot as well.

October 2014 Must Have Box:

Animal Socks by Happy Socks:

$12

I love fun socks like this for the winter months! I am really happy with these : ) Super cute, and very nice quality.

WINK Eye Pencil by Butter LONDON:

$18

I love this!! I love makeup, and eyeliners are one thing that I don’t have that many of, and I don’t have anything like this. Earl Grey is a beautiful silver gray color and I think it will be wonderful for the holidays (I know, I know I can’t help it…everything can be twisted to be holiday related in my book!)

Would you like to win one of these? My mother in-law is a PopSugar subscriber and she doesn’t wear eyeliner, so she was kind enough to let me have it for a little giveaway for my subscribers! Details will be at the bottom of this post!

Acrylic Frame by Issac Jacobs International:

$36

I like that this is magnetic and easy to swtich pictures frequently! I think this would be great for a place in the home where you’d like to change out the picture frequently, maybe with the seasons.

Chalkboard Candle by Mine Design:

$24

I LOVE candles and I think this is fun because I can write little messages for the seasons, for my husband, for the kids…how cute! I think one of the best things will be depotting this and using it for makeup brushes or pens on my desk.

Pumpkin Spice Malt Balls by Dean & DeLuca:

$5.75

I love trying out fancy candy, and I think these will be nice to have in the evenings when my sweet tooth comes out. *Update: I tried these…meh, they’re okay. It tastes like pumpkin pie filling, but a different texture, and has a lot more pumpkin than chocolate. Still, I ate a couple just for you guys ; ) and I didn’t spit them out or anything.

Halloween Decals by Nailed Kit:

These are cute little nail decals that you can wear over any nail polish you like! I think my daughter will enjoy these as well : ) I would have REALLY liked these had I got them when the boxes usually arrive, and it isn’t a huge deal because I can save them for next year, but I’m not going to put these on for one day! Because to me, Halloween is OVER when it is over, and then it’s full on holiday mode. Checking out the website they have some ADORABLE choices!!

Special Extra:

Shoreline Shea Butter/ Olive Oil Bar Soap by K. Hall Designs:

I’m feeling pretty *meh* about this. I’m not a big fan of bar soap usually, I know PopSugar has sent out a few in the past and I liked one of them, but this is very nice looking. Depending on the scent, Stephan may like this and if not I’m sure we will use it at some point.

Blue Jean Box by The Blue Jean Bar:

Enjoy $40 off of a box. I LOVE subscription boxes, but I haven’t really been tempted by clothing subscriptions. I probably won’t use this, but it is a nice discount.

GIVEAWAY:

1) Comment on this blog post and tell me your favorite makeup item of the moment!! Commenting is *easy* promise! Just click the link by the title of this post and you enter your first name, email, and comment : )
