I didn't feel like blogging while we had company, it seemed like it's be rude to take time to write/post 3 or the 6 days they were here. After that I just wasn't in the habit and forgot about it.
Can I ask a favor? If your reading this leave a comment, it can just be one word. I'd just like to know how many readers I have. Thanks!
Monthly Update:
I don't feel like we did much, but March flew by.
We finished the den, and have had our first movie night! That was a lot of fun! Can't wait to have another one. (If you want to see pics leave a comment and I'll add some.)
I got a much needed haircut, she cut more than I wanted but it does look much better.
We did a bunch of Spring Cleaning/Yard Work.
Several days we had record breaking heat (high 70's and low 80s).
They came to install the electric box for the septic upgrade they are doing (town wide) on the 14th, haven't heard a thing about them starting work since then.
FRIENDS visited from Ohio! We went to a lot of parks, bowling, a safari, and out to eat a few times.
Easter was (and always is) at our house. We switched things up this year and inside the eggs were tickets for prizes. The kids loved it!
Hard to believe this time last year we had (finally) just got approved to buy a home!
I can't wait to see what's in store for April.
Have a great day!

Recent Beauty Hauls
I just have one thing to share today.
I used some of my Birchbox points, and got the Burt's Bees lipstick I had been wanting.
I chose the shade Brimming Berry, and really like it. It's super moisturizing which is great this time of year. You can go a little bolder than normal with color choice, these aren't as pigmented as most lipsticks, but are more so than other Burt's Bees makeup.
Have a great day!

Hair Blog (Sponsored)
I was sent these products by influenster/L'Oreal for review. All opinions are my own.
http://www.lorealparisusa.com/en/products/hair-care/products/conditioner/advanced-haircare-extraordinary-oil-curls-conditioner.aspx
http://www.lorealparisusa.com/en/products/hair-care/products/shampoo/advanced-haircare-extraordinary-oil-curls-shampoo.aspx
For dry, curly hair.
Advanced Haircare - Extraordinary Oil Curls:
http://www.lorealparisusa.com/en/products/hair-care/products/hair-mask/advanced-haircare-extraordinary-oil-curls-re-nourish-mask.aspxhttp://www.lorealparisusa.com/en/products/hair-care/products/conditioner/advanced-haircare-extraordinary-oil-curls-conditioner.aspx
http://www.lorealparisusa.com/en/products/hair-care/products/shampoo/advanced-haircare-extraordinary-oil-curls-shampoo.aspx
Claims:
For dry, curly hair.
System re-nourishes, redefines curls in 1 wash.
Transform dry curls to lustrous & defined.
I truly noticed a difference in one use! My hair was far more shiny, more curly (it's naturally wavy), and felt fuller. My hair is generally fairly dry at the ends, and tends to get oily at the roots on day two~ I actually didn't have as much of an oily situation as normal, so that was a great surprise! I didn't have to use any detanglers or leave in's with this, which is a money saver! I will definitely continue to use it. Bonus, it smells good too!
Good hair day:
Have a great day!
