It’s so hard to believe…tomorrow is the last day of January! This month has gone by so fast…

Fashion:
Every year for Christmas, my mother purchases my sister and me a piece of jewelry from our favorite hometown jewelry store. This past Christmas was no exception. She gifted me with this fabulous creation from Ronaldo Designer Jewelry…

It’s called the “Katbird Bracelet”. It was named for one of the Ronaldo staff member’s pet name for his wife, who he affectionately called “Katbird”. The website’s description of this particular piece states: “The old saying “sitting in the catbird seat” means you’re “sitting pretty” or in an “enviable position.” Each bracelet has a special meaning and all are so beautiful and intricate.

I love this hair product I got as a free gift/sample with purchase from Ulta several months ago and am just now trying…

I love it because it makes my naturally curly hair easier to straighten. I spritz it on after I towel dry my hair and comb it through. I blow dry and flat iron and my hair is smooth and soft and not frizzy! When I use it, it only takes me an hour to straighten my hair instead of nearly 2!

Anyway…here are 5 of my favorite things from this week…

Favorite Fashion:
Around the holidays, I went to Payless looking for black booties. While there, I saw these and just had to try them on…

I’ve debating purchasing them for several weeks now… I don’t know when/where or even if I’ll ever wear them… but, they were on sale and I had a coupon! So, I bought them! They arrived yesterday and they are just as beautiful in person! Hopefully I have somewhere to wear them… Click HERE to get some for yourself! (If they’re still available)

Favorite Product:
I love a good nighttime moisturizer, but I’m not willing to fork over hundreds of dollars for the over-priced fancy kind. I found this at Walgreens a while back and it’s wonderful…

It’s so creamy and smooth and feels like silk on my skin. I could wear it during the day as well, but my skin gets oily and that’s just too much grease on my face. Click HERE to see it on Walgreens’ website. What’s your favorite drug store moisturizer?

Favorite Pin:
I’m getting my hair done next week and since I’ve been wearing my naturally curly hair straight lately, I thought I’d try long bangs…like these…

I love the idea of bangs, but just as soon as I cut them, I regret it…or they look funny when I wear my hair curly. So, I’m hoping a longer style will work better for me. What do you think? Click HERE to see this on Pinterest.
