June Top 10
Easy Summer Makeup for Glowy Skin
Summer for me usually means less makeup, more bronzer and lots of SPF. And now that life in the newborn and toddler stage are both in full swing, I don't have quite as much time for getting ready like before. It's key for me to find products that work well and won't melt off my face (like this all-in-one face palette or tinted BB Cream with SPF from Nordstrom)
I've found a routine that works great for me and leaves me with that glowy summer skin that I desperately want to achieve. This look is breathable, has SPF and still gives you a little coverage even without an actual foundation. Need I say more? ...
The Only 5 Sandals You Need to See This Spring
Dallas is hitting the 70s this week so you know I'm pulling out all the spring things, officially. And at the top of my shopping list each spring is, of course, sandals. From casual ones to throw on with denim cutoffs or a skirt, to heeled options that elevate a look, I honestly get a little giddy shopping for spring sandals. What can I say? I'm an accessories girl. ...

6 Budget-Friendly Sunglasses Under $25

I've been testing out budget-friendly styles and honestly, can't believe all of these are under $25. If you're also a big fan of owning sunglasses you don't have to stress about, check out this list. ...
Sugar-Free Spicy Margarita Recipe
Austin and I love a good margarita moment. And if it's spicy, that's even better in our book. This spicy marg recipe has been a nice treat during these summer months. I actually made these for our friends and they couldn't believe they were sugar-free.
Usually, I am not a fan of mixers. I find them overly sweet and typically they taste really "artificial". But a TTD reader told me about Swoon mixers (zero sugar zero cals) and encouraged me to order the Margarita mixer.
For a low-carb and zero sugar drink, we were impressed. It's made from Monk Fruit (a melon native to Southeast Asia that has natural sweetness) and has zero calories and carbs. We've been cooking with Monk Fruit for a while since starting F Factor, and it's the closest thing to sugar that we've tasted (unlike Splenda or Stevia). It took Austin a minute to get used to it, but I liked it right away. I've already bought a few bottles to share with the family over 4th of July weekend. ...
Tie-Dye Trend: Y/N?
As you probably have noticed, tie-dye is a trend we are seeing everywhere. It has completely taken over my Instagram feed and honestly, I'm loving it. I typically stick to a neutral color palette in my wardrobe but lately, I've been loving the pastel colors. It all started with me buying this nude lounge set at the beginning of COVID and now I'm afraid to admit my collection has grown. From oversized hoodies to lounge sets, I've listed my top picks for tie-dye below. ...
