House Notes & Pillow Talk

Shopping

Hello, dear friends.

Long time no chat.

This post is jam-packed with useless information pertaining to moi.

I got my second vaccine!

I did have a reaction. One thing that I experienced was that I didn't sleep at all. It felt like I drank a carafe of coffee. I also developed a mild fever and felt aches and pains that lasted until the end of the second day. I didn't mind, though, because I knew that I held my ticket to freedom.

As a side note, the Mister and my #2 had no reaction at all.

My #1 and Adorable Jonathon haven't had their second shot yet.

I spent the majority of last week at our internetless house waiting for this guy to show up. I got stood up four days in a row. It brought me back to my dating days.

Hopefully, we'll have better luck this week with AT&T.

We lucked out with our floor guys. They were prompt and professional. They are scheduled to finish up the job on Tuesday.

Next up is our evasive painter that doesn't like to be tied down by a schedule.

Meanwhile, I enjoyed my first lunch at the house. I also learned how to use a hotspot to get online. It's slow as molasses, but it's better than nothing.

I also worked on some curtains for these windows.

I could not have done it without my ~~lazy~~ trusted assistant.

The TV was installed, thanks to the Amazon tech. We also received our furniture delivery from The Mint Julep, and we were very pleased with everything. Our dining room table was delivered as well as our patio furniture.

A lot of the furniture that we ordered will not arrive until the Summer. Every site is so backed up. As my family will attest, I am not a patient person, so this is killing me.

I spied a nosy neighbor trying to check us out.

A couple of weeks ago, Ulta held its 21 Days of Beauty promo. These are the products that I ordered.

I gave you the product links to Sephora because they are holding their promotion now.

The GlamGlow Bright Eyes cream promises to make your under-eye brighter. I didn't see much difference. However, it is a nice eye cream that absorbs quickly. It's also a good base for concealer.

The Dr. Brandt Pores No More Refiner Primer is a silicone base. It has some color to it and does a stellar job filling in my potholes, otherwise known as my pores.

The Halo Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer is easy to apply and has 25 SPF. It has a bit more coverage than other tinted moisturizers that I have tried. It's great for during the day.

I stocked up on my Benefit Roller Lash. I like it because it doesn't clump. I wish they made a waterproof for the days when Spectrum doesn't show up.

Hands down, the star of the group is St. Tropez Bronzing Water Face Mist. This stuff is the bomb! All you do is spritz on your face, and within an hour, you will see a healthy golden glow. The color is very natural. It smells delicious and is packed with moisturizers.

No SPF, though.

This week I fell in love. With Etsy. After our patio furniture arrived, I decided to order some bright outdoor pillows. Etsy has such a fabulous selection, it was difficult for me to make a decision. I did order some, though. Here are several that caught my eye.
