April has been the best month of 2014 [so far]! From my spring break vacation with my mom in Texas, both of my best friends birthday's, the snow finally disappearing, and Easter. It's just been an incredible month. Here's some of my favorite things from April.
Texas Souvenir: I bought this necklace at an adorable boutique in downtown Fort Worth. This is my kind of souvenir. Why buy a tshirt when you can buy jewelry to remember your vacation? I have been wearing it a lot. Each time I wear it all my amazing vacation memories come flooding back.
Cover Fx Concealer: Let me first state that I would never pay $28 for a little tiny tube of concealer. I randomly stumbled upon someone selling this on ebay and I paid $2.75 [and got free shipping]. I hope I can find it again because this concealer is great! Since my skin is finally cooperating and has healed itself I have ditched the foundation and have only been using this. A little goes a long way! Terrific coverage that lasts all day and doesn't slide around.
Ulta PassionBerry Vanilla Lotion/Shower Gel: The actual Ulta brand has been a bit disappointing to me, until now. This scent is incredible. It's a mix between passion fruit, berries, and vanilla orchids. But I think what is different is the vanilla scent, it's not your typical "warm vanilla sugar" from B&BW. It has almost a masculine cologne undertone that is perfectly balanced with the girly scents. Next time you're at Ulta, give it a sniff.
So Delicious Cookie Dough Dessert: When I want a sweet treat, this is what I will gravitate towards. Not only is it gluten free but it's dairy free too. And it's delicious!

E.L.F. Tone Correcting Powder: I have been using this to set my concealer and mattify my face [which has been super oily lately]. It does a great job at keeping everything in place and absorbing oil. And for $3... I mean, what a deal!
Early Morning Workouts: By default I have changed my workout routine from evening to morning. Never in my life would I think that would happen but it has and I wish I would've made the change a while ago. My mornings have been so much more productive, I sleep better, and I am more conscious of what I am eating throughout the day. I have been alternating between attending Spin class, running outside [^ outdoor morning running essentials, yes I carry a knife ^], and more intense WODs at the gym.
Rend Collective Experiment "The Art of Celebration": If you like the folk-sy Mumford & Sons sound, then this group is for you. 'More than Conquerers' is my favorite track [they all are great]. All the lyrics are uplifting and encouraging. It has been on repeat almost all of April. I love a good banjo!
Harvest Bashta "Make Us Ready" [get a free download here]: I had downloaded this a while ago but didn't get around to listening to it until I was asked to sing 'Make Us Ready' for our church Easter presentation. I love her voice and the lyrics to each of these songs. They set such an atmosphere of God's presence.
HAPPY MAY!
What were you loving in April?
