Random thoughts on a sunny, slightly chilly Saturday morning:

1. Our highschool made it to STATE. Yes. Yes they did. They won last night in the LAST THREE SECONDS. We are streaming the final game with all my family and watching it together.

2. I’m so sorry I’ve been off my game with “What I Bought Wednesday.” It will make a reappearance this week. To tide us over until we can get there I want to recommend my favorite beauty item on this planet.

Nothing can compare to this mascara.

And this primer that goes with it.

They are both under $5.

3. Also, I found the solution to television cords that hang on the wall. We had an Apple TV that I couldn’t figure out where to put once the television was on the wall.

Here’s how we fixed it and how we hid our TV cords.

4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We discussed:

5. I have the best tip if you paint your nails at home. Make sure to wrap the polish (and the topcoat) over the top of the nails to prevent chipping.

6. In housekeeping news, I also wanted to take a moment to apologize for the excess ads on the blog. I hear you and I thank you for all the feedback. I’m working with the ad company right now to reduce them.

And now?

I have the best round-up of all my favorite links to show you.

    It's so freaky that you posted how you lost interest in blue & white but then found your way back. Same here. I started my collection about 40 years ago then my Mum gave me some green depression glass and BANG!! it was love at first sight even though there's not a lot in Australia. I started building that collection and lost interest in b & w. Sold off most of it but kept special pieces that I just couldn't part with. And then in my 60's found myself drawn to b & w again so I have gone full circle and my downstairs area and walls are a sea of blue and white decor. I love your IG site.
