Eucerine #SkinFirst Review + Giveaway

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving!  So much to be thankful for!

I recently received a Eucerin skincare package featuring their new Eczema Relief cremes.  Perfect timing for these cold temperatures we've been having in Atlanta.  We all need to step up our skincare game during the cold months.  My husband has a slight eczema problem so I was excited for him try these new products.

Shop Small this Saturday

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!  I'm happy to announce we have been invited to a few dinners on Thanksgiving Day after begging on the blog so I will not be cooking!  I am thankful for that!

After Black Friday, make sure to participate in Small Business Saturday.  We all get caught up shopping at the big chain stores for the holidays.  I think it's important that we support our small businesses the best we can.  I love small businesses because you can find items that no one else carries.  I wanted to share some of my favorite small businesses that you can shop for Small Business Saturday and beyond.

Thanksgiving Style

I can't believe Thanksgiving is this Thursday!  I'm still working on dinner plans.  I freaked out yesterday and purchased a small turkey.  Lawd knows I don't want to cook.  I don't know how you ladies do it!

Peyton wasn't going to do an outfit post this week but I came across these photos we took before heading to a birthday party a couple of weeks ago.  I thought it was a great Thanksgiving inspired outfit.

Mad Plaid

During the cold months I dress more casual.  Who likes feeling cold and uncomfortable.  There are so many cute coats, hats and boots for the fall and winter to step up a casual look.  And just because it's fall, it doesn't mean we can't mix patterns.  Check out how I mixed my new favorite pattern, Plaid.

At Home Manicure in 9 Steps

I had an unfortunate gel manicure last month (pictured below).  I was against getting gel nails because they didn't last in the past, but I needed something that would last a few weeks.  I should have stuck with my gut and skipped the gel mani!  My nails looked horrendous day 5!  So I decided to get back to taking care of my own nails at home.

DIY Boyfriend (Distressed) Jeans for Kids

I shared with you guys on Monday how difficult it was to find reasonably priced boyfriend jeans for little girls.  I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own.  

JeNu Skincare System: Before + After #NMBeauty

Plastic surgery is so common now and days.  I haven't had anything done but I'm not shocked when I hear other people do it.  I have nothing against having a little nip tuck to keep things tight, but before going under the knife I would like to find a non-surgical way to maintain.  I was ecstatic to receive the JeNu Active Youth Skin Care System from Neiman Marcus. 

Baby Boyfriend Jeans

I hope you guys had a great weekend!  Ours was great!  Following our crazy week, we got to chill and spend some quality family time.  I have been on the hunt since early spring to find some boyfriend jeans for Peyton.  The ones I found were crazy expensive.  So I decided to get my DIY on and make her some boyfriend jeans.
