Hello Friday!
Happy Friday friends! I am especially excited about today because it is the start of my Spring Break. (Can I get an Amen?) I love being a teacher and I sure do love my kiddos but I love me some spring break. I feel like photo above captures the excitement between my coworkers and I perfectly, so I felt it was only fitting. No big plans yet...maybe a little road trip to Austin or San Antonio. All I know is that I am definelty wanting to reeeelax. As far as the weekend goes, we are a tad busy. A little trip to Ft. Worth is in the works to celebrate my 26th birthday with the hubby. Birthday dinner with family and friends is also on the list. I am looking forward to spending some of that birthday cash on this and that…maybe something from here thanks to some fabulous parents who read my blog and know this teacher likes to shop! ...
Snail Mail
I love sending and receiving mail. While it can be perceived as "old fashioned" there's something about a personal note that makes my heart happy...especially when its on pretty paper. In Hause Press might be my favorite shop on ETSY for paper goods This San Francisco company has a modern edge that I love. Whether you go with stationary, calling cards, or invitations, these letter pressed lovlies will sweep you off your feet.

Neiman Marcus Beauty Event
One of my favorite times at Neiman Marcus is when they host their Spring Beauty Event. I love buying makeup and getting some freebies makes it all the better.
This time, I decided to go with a classic and give Bobbi Brown a try. I have used her Shimmer Gloss and Shimmer Brick for many years but I wanted to give her foundation a try. I was determined to find something that would actually stay on my face and not wear off by 4:00.
The lady at the counter seemed pretty confident she could hook me up with something that would take care of that problem, however I had another issue I needed to deal with. She handed me a magnified mirror with lights and pointed out how dry my skin was. Then proceeded to tell me once you hit 25 you need to start using anti aging skin care and moisturize like it's your job. Cool, I'm turing 26 on Sunday and have yet to get on that. I was pretty embarrassed to admit that I only use moisturizer at night...if that. I just assumed since I was more oily, that I got a free pass on moisturizer. No? She put some of the hydrating face and eye cream on my face and I could tell right away my skin felt different. Maybe I was just "in the moment" but it felt amazing. We tested out a few foundations and I felt that the stick was a good starting point for me. I really like that you can put it on with this

Style Me Monday | Lipstick Favorites
Hi, my name is Ashley and I am a lipstick-aholic. That's right, I hate to admit it but I have a problem when it comes to lipsticks. I have way too many and I keep buying more. My husband thinks I'm crazy and he's probably right. In my opinion, you can never have enough! Here are my top ten faves...what are yours?
.01 Chanel Lip Gloss in SeaShell- The perfect gloss for a nude lip.
.02 NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella- This color is a true deep red. I have been looking for one that wasn't too orangey or cherry and this was it! Stays on pretty well too. Looks good worn alone or under a gloss.
.03 Butter London Lippy in Queen Vic - Love this bright pop of pink. Don't be scared off by the "purpley" look...it goes on like a pink. It's a thicker gloss so it doubles as a lipstick too. Stays on for a while, but not like a stain.
.04 Armani ...
To Napa We Go!
What better way to experience a wine tasting tour than in Napa Valley? Thanks to some of our good friends in SF, we were able to experience wine country the right way. On our way we did a few touristy things such as visit the Golden Gate Bridge. Loved the views! This picture above needs a little hashtag love with #nofilter...that is how beautiful the sky was that day...crazy! Here are some of my favorite moments from our trip to Napa...enjoy!

San Francisco: Day 2
Visting Fishermans Warf was probably my favorite part of our whole trip. I just loved the crisp air, noisy sealions, and delicious food on every corner. Here are some snapshots of our day around Fishermans Warf.
