The Summer I Turned Pretty Party | Season 3 Premier

If you have a teenage daughter, you most likely know about the show that makes us wish we lived on the East Coast every summer. A beautiful beach house, where hydrangeas are in full bloom, and teenage love takes center stage. Does Belly end up with Jeremiah or Conrad? Whatever brother you’re rooting for, those boys are sure to make the teenage girls hearts swoon as they watch. We are team Jeremiah, so all eyes are on him.

The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on Jenny Han’s book, is about to premier Season 3 on Amazon…which means it’s a great reason to throw a summer party. Invite your girlfriends, or host your daughters friends for the premier. If you miss it June 16, a new episode will post every week.

Here’s some of our favorite Cousin’s Beach finds, including an invite, which you can purchase and download here.

Closer look at the invite below.

Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her

 VALENTINES GIFTS FOR HER

We’re back, and just in time for some Valentine’s Day love. Hope everyone has been well! We hope to be back more often, and share our latest shopping finds, parties, and DIYs. Between our kids and work, life has been very, very busy. We know you can relate.

We’re shopping for our loved ones for Valentine’s Day, so thought we would share some items we’re adding to our carts.

Hanky panky thong: These have been our fave for years, and they remain our top choice when we open the underwear drawer. If you’re looking for a Lulu underwear dupe, Target has our favorites. No underwear line, and only $3 (on sale from $5 right now) instead of $18 per pair. Jodi loves them. Great gift for teen girls as well.

Wondergloss Collagen Lip Oil: When something says ‎imported from Italy, we are sold! Jessica got this from a dear girlfriend, and she is obsessed. It adds a sheer pretty color, and a shiny, non-sticky finish. Yes, please.

Laneige Lip Mask: This feels like butter on the lips, and soft lips means pucker up. This has become a nightly routine for us.

Pure Silk Pillowcase: Jessica’s hubby bought her this for Christmas. It’s dreamy and silky soft. I don’t sleep better, necessarily, but it’s a hint of luxury when I close my eyes at night, which is always fun.

Stoneware Heart Mug: Love in a mug. 🙂 The simple heart sediment is special for everyone sipping coffee or tea everyday.

Stanley Tumbler: This lives up to the hype. Jessica and Jodi are believers. Literally, love the straw, love that it’s dishwasher safe, love the colors, love that our water stays cold all day and love that it fits in our cup holders.

Whitney shirt: We love Whitney, and her music. Nothing says I love you like the song I will always love you, by one of the best of all time, Ms. Whitney Houston.

Mascara: Luscious lashes, yes please. This was a Christmas gift and our lashes look fake when we wear it. It’s a splurge, so not necessarily an everyday wear for us, but definitely a special night out mascara, and even lunch with the girlfriends.

Fave socks: Add a pop of color with bright red socks, and let your girlfriend or family member know they are your favorite this Valentine’s Day.

Marble heart and pepper shakers: Sprinkle a little love (and salt + pepper) on your food year-round.

Floating Crystal Earrings: The pretty dainty earrings are affordable, and oh so pretty.

Juno Semi-Precious Necklace: Rose quartz represents and helps manifest self love, compassion, and romance, so why not wear those energy vibes with a pretty heart-shaped necklace and dainty chain. I might buy one for myself. 🙂

Lulu Sweatshirt: Lulu, we love you and your soft fabrics. This one is no exception. Every time she wears it, she will feel “hugged” and cozy.

Cottage Greenhouse Lotion: This lotion smells so good. We have the handcream, and love it. They have wonderful scents, and made locally in CO.

Whether you buy gifts or not, we hope you take time to write a note, share chocolate or tell all the people you love, Happy Valentine’s Day!

These Oreo Cheesecake Waffle Cones Are So Good

oreo cheesecake waffle cones-homemade dessert

I love anything made with cream cheese. Seriously, it’s make my mouth water, and I have zero self control. So, it wasn’t hard for me to get on the bandwagon with these Oreo Cheesecake Waffle Cones. They are so delicious, and made from scratch. Friends and family will love them year-round. You can use regular Oreos, gluten-free Oreos (if you haven’t tried these, you are missing out), or even sprinkles.
