While I was packing and simultaneously spring cleaning, I stumbled upon what appeared to be an addiction or hoarding problem of mine. Usually I like to think of myself as a minimalist, saving "stuff" just means moving more at the end of the school year and summer, and I'm not really into that. As I was cleaning out a container full of tanning lotion, old contacts, face masks, nail polish, and so much more, I found 6 old Bare Minerals containers. I must have thought that one day I would use the little bit left in the containers and obviously never did. Sigh. So I got the brilliant idea to add all the old powder to my new container...long story short, I opened up the new container from the bottom and ended up with powder all over my pants, hands, and the floor. Once I got over the initial devastation of losing this precious powder, I recognized that I loved it so much that I needed to recommend it to people! So here I am, doing a sales pitch for Bare Minerals. It's worth the money. I only use the powder foundation and the powder blush, everything else I use is from Target or WalMart's make up section (Maybelline, Cover Girl, etc). My birthday is next week, so naturally I did a little shopping for myself and picked up a Bare Minerals eye shadow and new brush and I can't wait to use them!
Click here for my powder foundation, here for my blush (color: Giddy Pink), and here for my new brush. Below is a picture of the new eye shadow that I got.
Now that I have exhausted that story, here are a few other favorites of both Ben and mine.
We both love shoes! For Christmas I got a new pair of running shoes and for Ben's birthday he got a new pair of Reeboks which he seriously does love (our fun nephew Carson also loves Ben's shoes). Since then Ben has picked up golf and I have enjoyed wearing my sparkly gold flip flops since the weather is warming up. Just in case you were wondering what those all look like, I will happily post pictures. Ignore our not so attractive, poor college student, kitchen floors.

As mentioned before with the shoes, Ben has enjoyed golfing and I have started running more. I hiked the Y for the first time with my sister and a friend and went back up again today while Ben was taking a test. Here are a few pictures from my hike and from Ben golfing the other day.
Some of our favorite places to go to eat are Texas Road House and my personal favorite, HuHot. It's a Mongolian grill that is super popular in places other than the west, but one just recently opened in Logan, Utah and there will be one opening in Sandy, Utah as well. So thrilled! We also love BYU's Graham Canyon ice cream and Kneader's peach smoothies. Yum! Back in February ( I think), we made the most delicious Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Brownies, so look under the Recipe tab for that recipe and a picture. Also, tonight we bought some Babybel cheese and that was such a treat.
As far as TV goes, we love The Walking Dead, Revolution, Locked Up Abroad, and Shark Tank. If you haven't seen any of those, I would highly recommend them all, as long as you don't mind walkers, war, drugs, and rich people.
Last but definitely not least, we have enjoyed literally living next door to the Provo Temple. I'm sad to be moving where we won't have one close but that just means we can make weekend trips to go to the Nauvoo Temple!

I guess it's about time to end this post. Thanks for reading and head over to the Recipe tab to check out the delicious brownies I talked about earlier!
