Cross your fingers for us this morning — we’re wrangling our toddlers onto an airplane and heading to Florida! I am so so so so so excited to meet my littleist love, see my daddy and hang with the fam for a few days.
one. I spent a few days in Atlanta this week for work which I didn’t mind one bit because I got a night out with my bestie Brynn at Barcelona Wine Room. We shared tons of small plates and had the very best time catching up since I last saw her. Isn’t she the prettiest?!
two. On our grocery run during mama spring break we picked up a few pints of Halo Top. I was clearly the last one to the party (per usual!) because everyone raved about this ice cream all weekend and it definitely lived up to the hype! My friend Laura mixes half of this ice cream with half of her favorite Ben & Jerry’s ice cream so she cuts the calories but not the quantity of her dessert — brilliant, right?!
New romper + wedges from my favorite boutique, Petal! It’s not available online (yet!) but it is available in-store ($58), and they will ship it (my sister does this all the time)!
three. Last night, when we should have been packing for Florida, Matt and I decided to dip out for a quick date night at Foxcroft Wine. We shared my new favorite Sauvignon Blanc (Cloudy Bay!!!) that my friend Abby introduced me to on vacation and a large bowl of truffle fries, sliders and award-winning brussels sprouts! Then we polished off our wine with some homemade donuts. So you can find me hiding behind a beach towel in my bikini this weekend — but it was totally worth it.
four. I recently re-read a hilarious article,12 Jim Gaffigan Quotes & Jokes: Everything You Need To Know About Family & Parenting, and had to share it for those of you looking for a good laugh. I am a huge Jim Gaffigan fan. If you love the article, you should absolutely check out his book, Dad is Fat.
five. Okay friends, help a mama out — neuLASH or R&F Lash Boost? One of my girlfriends recently used Lash Boost and her lashes are ahhhhh-maaaazing but I’ve heard great things about neuLASH too and it’s a little less expensive. Give me some feedback!!

Forget the fakes, call the plastic surgeon who did your mastectomy and get a prescription for Latisse. You can download a coupon and get it from Walmart for about $45, just search "latisse" on goodrx.com and you'll get a link straight to the coupon. I was getting extensions and then asked my friend where she gets hers done because my girl took forever. She told me she used Latisse. It took two months, but my eyelashes look like they did with extensions without the hassle and continued time and money spend. Don't use the latisse brushes, they absorb 90% of the product, just put one drop into the top of the bottle and use an eyeliner brush to paint it on like eyeliner.

Hi Christina! Both of these products have a synthetic version of the pro-inflammatory chemical found in Latisse. In an undocumented percentage of users it causes redness, watering, and potentially permanent dry eye. My advice is listen to your body; if you experience any irritation or eye discomfort, stop using it immediately! http://www.eyedolatryblog.com/2017/04/is-your-lash-growth-serum-causing.html

I would recommend that you read the ingredients on both to make your decision - run them through ewg.org as well :)
