Honeymoon Essentials Shopping Spree

March 09, 2015/ treanab

Y'all. I am so glad that we have been saving for 6 months for this honeymoon cause I did some serious damage this week/weekend. Since some of this stuff is perfect for a beach vacay + daily life, I figured I'd share the love/knowledge/lusting/shopping finds. This peplum top in black AND white. At $10.90, you can't beat it. It's adorable and has nothing to do with the beach. I digress.

Linen beach pants. I'd like to wear these to work and bed and the gym. This should totally be socially acceptable.

I also picked up these super fun beach/sleep/yoga pants. They are super long, make your butt look good, and SO SO SOFT. (they had a different print at Nordstrom). $38? Ok! I also got this adorable white "I AM TOTALLY A TOURIST" hat.

Now: a word or a hundred on zits.

I have been wanting to replace my old school Clinique concealer for years. I like it because it covers, but also treated zits. However, it never really blends that well with my Tarte powder that I love. So I picked up this bad boy to try out and so far I love it. It provides a base to set powder and it's just simply badass.

I then went all Tarte: the concealer, the buffer brush, and the mascara. I love ALL of them! I also use their Clay Powder on the daily and have for months. Love it because it gives me a matte finish when I use it with my matte bronzer. So my new concealer plan goes like this: Use the Cover FX primer on my blemishes. Then use a brush like this to get the Tarte concealer brushed onto my spots. Then tap over the whole face (only buffing in spots without blemishes that have been concealed) and voila! Face coverage and treatment using the three things pictured.

After all that zit talk, I also got myself some of my new favorite perfume: Beach Walk. YUM! And some beach spray for wavy beach hair while I am at said beach. :)

Lastly, here is my final, updated books for the honeymoon list (adding Bossypants that I am borrowing). And yes, I am reading a Nicholas Sparks book. And yes, I am somewhat embarrassed, but I was directed to by my bestie and she will not be ignored. I CANNOT WAIT to get on that plane!!!

House of Bennetts

Hey now. I'm Treana...welcome to my little slice of the internet where I get to use exclamation points with abandon!!! We do more here than overuse certain forms of punctuation. Around these parts you'll find DIY projects, budgeting ups and downs and tools, photography fun, food goodness, music loves, and hopefully a little inspiration. We talk about anything and everything here and hope that you'll join us in our mutual weirdness we call life. For more about us, our wedding, and our lives, visit the 'Bout the Bennetts page. (I so wanted to put an exclamation point there).

Oh well oh well oh well-a. Huh! Those summer nights. #youdownwithlmb

He’s just the lesson on loving your kiddo so so well and that life and parenting are forever tries. The things he’s taught her can be summed up into... everything. #youdownwithlmb #lmbanddada @robrich23

I never understood that all kids are miracles when I was growing up. I didn’t have parents who... well any of it. And yet, I never really feared becoming a parent because I was going to do it better (have you met me?). And then God gave me this

I never understood that all kids are miracles when I was growing up. I didn’t have parents who... well any of it. And yet, I never really feared becoming a parent because I was going to do it better (have you met me?). And then God gave me this miracle. This force of a human. This incredibly hilarious, loving, strong, gorgeous miracle. We’ve been trying to give her a sibling for on and off two years now while still doing it “better”. So here’s what I know for sure this Mother’s Day: love yourself no matter how you became a mom. Love how you parent from a place of love and forever tries. If you’re lucky enough to have a mom who loved you, the best she could, try to love her for that too. Love those miracles you’ve got. And rest today in the knowledge that you just are doing it better— own that. Happy Mother’s Day to all. If you can’t get to happy today, you’re good sis. Get off the social media and get some good air into those lungs— Mother’s Day is hard. I see you.

Scenes from quarantine. We’ve hit two weeks here folks. Thanks to their daily walks, Lyla and daddy are doing great. This is a lot of family/at home time and it’s hard. #itsgettingchippy #stayhome #covid_19 #youdownwithlmb

It’s taken a week for me to be okay posting about our vacation to Mexico. What was supposed to be a relaxing, family filled trip, was a giant stressball. The resort we actually stayed at was an absolute nightmare... and not a resort. What matters though is that Lyla had a blast and keeps asking when we can go to Mexico again. #youdownwithlmb

A simply excellent weekend with seeing my favorite humans everyday. #youdownwithlmb @lwbranz @adambranz

My physical TBR/to be finished pile is ummmmm... a lot. I’ve gotten off to a nice slow reading start with only 4 books done in the new year. I’m listening to Know My Name and it should be required listening for all High schoolers. It&rsqu

My physical TBR/to be finished pile is ummmmm... a lot. I’ve gotten off to a nice slow reading start with only 4 books done in the new year. I’m listening to Know My Name and it should be required listening for all High schoolers. It’s very triggering in large and small ways for me, but it’s so important to know her name and her story. @chanelmillerknowmyname @ashleyspivey #spiveys📚club
