Friday Favorites: Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm

Hello everyone! Can we take a minute to recognize that Monday marks the halfway point in August! Are you kidding me!? Where did the summer go? Students will be moving back to campus next weekend with school starting on the 24th. OMG! Insert crying emoji. I never thought I would admit this, but it has been nice to be an adult living in a college town in the summer. Places are going to be super packed when everyone moves back. I also admit the fall is my favorite time of year on a college campus; the energy on campus is so special and certainly makes me nostalgic.

Lately I have been sharing recipes, but today I wanted to share a recent makeup discovery. I am a traditional Chapstick user. Burts Bees was my go to for the longest, but all of a sudden my lips started peeling every time I put it on so I switched back to Chapstick. I like the look of lipstick, but it dries out my lips (even if it contains Vitamin E) and ends up looking terrible. I am always on the hunt for a tinted balm that gives me that “my lips but better look.” That’s how I found Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm. A random item I picked up at Target. I selected up the Natural Rose to test it out and ended up loving it. Now I need to get the other shades!

What are your go to balms?

Monday’s post has taken me a lot of time to put together (hence the lack of Monday posts lately). It’s something I felt needed to be written, but the writing process was a hard one for me because I wanted the information to be clear and concise. Until next post…xoxo Becca

Friday Favorites: Easy Pepper Steak

TGIF! This week was a busy one for me. My department received new furniture so there was a lot of coordinating of old furniture haul off, IT unhooking and reinstalling computers and telephones, etc. Hopefully next week will give me a chance to organize my new desk space. Think I will hit up Target and The Container Store for some cute desk accessories.

Now onto Friday Favorites! Gotta love good friends that pass along good recipes! You know you’re old when…you swap recipes đŸ™‚ This recipe is even hubby approved. Enjoy!
