It was Saint-sational, for sure!


I was beyond excited about the Saints victory last night in the Super Bowl!! I even sported black and gold today to work in celebration of their victory! I know some of you around the blogosphere were excited as well!


So, as I was thinking about how I could tie the Saints win to my 'spread the love' posts I thought about Drew Brees last night with his son! If that's not love, I don't what is, y'all! Enjoy these precious pictures of him and his son.

 

  

 

That last one absolutely makes me melt! I hope you all had a great Monday!!

Love is Blooming

 

I really struggled coming up with today's topic, y'all. I kept thinking and thinking and nothing was coming to me. And then I was like, duh! Why don't I do a flower post! Flowers are something that a lot of us get on Valentine's Day and they can just manage to brighten your day. Here are some of my favorite floral-inspired photos that I found!



 

  

  

  

  

 

 

 Flowers just always manage to put a smile on my face! I love to have fresh flowers in my house!

What's your feeling about flowers? Do you like to get them for Valentine's Day?

Big Time Lovin for the Big Easy

Today I would like to show some love to one of my favorite US cities- New Orleans, Louisiana! And it's a perfect time given that the Saints are playing (read winning) in the Super Bowl this weekend! 

I went to NOLA last year for a psychology conference (which also happened to be during Mardi Gras) and I absolutely fell in love! It has so much personality and character! Not to mention the food is out of this world!  If you have never traveled south to New Orleans you must! I'm trying to talk my parents into taking a little trip there this year.

While I was there I did lots of touristy things, of course! Here are some pictures from my trip...

 
  
  
  
  
  
  
 

The last picture was one that I took of a house all decked out for Mardi Gras. I couldn't believe how people decorate their homes for Mardi Gras like most of us decorate for Christmas! It was so cool!

And as you can seen from the two pictures above, the Mardi Gras floats are amazing! We also took this really neat ghost tour of the French Quarter. You can see from the pic that I was very excited about it! The other pictures are some that I took while walking around the city, landmarks and anything else that I thought was cool :)

Have you all been to NOLA? What did you think? Would you like to travel there?

Don't forget my giveaway ends today! Go enter!

Happy Saturday, everyone!

It's a 'beauty'ful day!


Hello, fellow bloggers! I hope you're having a wonderful Friday so far and that you are planning on a great weekend! Today for my 'spread the lovin' post I thought I would share some beauty products with you all that I absolutely love!

 
I swear by this mascara! Love love love it! I actually convinced a random girl that she should buy it the other day in Target :)

I don't know if you all have an addiction to a beauty product but this would have to be mine.

 
Dove Go Fresh Body Wash in Nectarine and White Ginger. I love this stuff! It smells so yummy!

 I have posted about OPI Chip Skip before. If you have never used this stuff you don't know what you're missing! Your polish will hold on for days and days with this! 

 
And last but not least, Bath Junkie Salt Scrub. You have never used a scrub like this! As you can see from the picture, Bath Junkie mixes their own products, you get to pick your own scent and color!


So, there you have it, some of my faves! Have you all used any of these products? What do you think of them? What are some of your 'swear-by' products?

Have a wonderful Friday, everyone! Don't forget to enter my giveaway, it ends tomorrow!
