First Day of Spring - Spring Things Mixtape

It's official, today is the first day of Spring! Bring on the sun, longer days and bright colors, please!

Here's the thing though, one might think they can now change over their closet by switching to skirts and shorts or kicking off their boots and slipping into sandals, but rarely is that true here in the south.

Last weekend we had temps that reached the mid 70s and tonight we will get into the 20s. Finnicky weather, right? 

At some point we will switch seasons but until then, I give you my Spring Things Mixtape. 

Take a listen :)

Have a lovely first day of Spring!

Tumblr Lovin'

Just a few pictures I've been loving lately from my tumblr that remind me of Spring. From flowers and butterflies to the prettiest of eyelashes, you will find me re-posting content on tumblr everyday!

Here's to a beautfiul Tuesday! {Spring is almost here!}

Flashback Friday

I thought I'd throw this gem your way...a little Flashback Friday action of me and my brother in...I'm guessing around...1991.

I made this post Flashback Friday simply because 1. Catchy titles are always fun 2.Everyone likes to rhyme and 3. Well I'm one day late for Throwback Thursday! 

Please note my brother's devious looking grin and my amazing sun glasses. Also, please note I was rocking this seasons blunt bang 12 years ago. Talk about ahead of the times! 

Here's to a fantastic Friday! xoxo bd

*Again with the rhyming, you're welcome*

Current Beauty Favorites

Current Beauty Favorites by lovelybdavis 

 Happy Humpday, the work week is officially half way over *woot woot*
! Seeing as I have been adding new beauty products to my daily routine and thought I might share a few of them with you. 

Josie Maran Argan Oil:  This been such an amazing night time face moisturizer. The thought of placing pure oil on your face may scare you but I promise this stuff sinks right in just beautifully. An added benefit to the above product is that you can not only use it on your face but on your hair, cuticles and skin.  I place this after I've washed my face and then afterwards top it with a night cream.

Essie Nail Polish in Enuf is Enuf:  One night, about a year ago, Adam made a run to the store and came back with that beautiful polish in hand. He said he wanted to get me something fun to brighten my day.  First of all, yes. Let's add that to the list of why I love my husband. It is a pretty mix between pink, orange and red. It looks great in the Spring and Summer on toesies!

Fresh Sugar Lip Polish: Oh snap. This lip scrub knows whats up. It exfoliates like a dream and only takes a tiny amount to get rid of any dead skin. I like to use this after I've brushed my teeth at night and after I've scrubbed will then lather on a kick butt lip butter. 

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle: Well hello there healthy glow, where have you been? This highlighter proves to brighten up my face in the most subtle way. I place this on the tops of my cheek bones and on my brown bone. There are days when I have simply used it as my blush and love it just as much!

Dr. Jart+ BB Beauty Balm: If you want to even out your skin tone but don't want to feel like you have caked foundation all over your face, go with this BB cream. I originally tried a sample through my Birchbox and loved it immediately. I kept the sample in my makeup bag until I purchased the full size a couple of weeks later. I love that it has SPF 25 as well!

There you have it, my latest beauty additions. 
I'll talk to you soon! xoxo bd

Hairy Situation

I will be getting a hair cut in T-minus 30 minutes. *Eeek* I am always excited to try something new and have an opportunity to change up my routine. I also love getting my hair washed and styled and just plain being pampered. My great grandmother was on to something when she had her hair done every week. 

In December I made a "drastic" change and cut roughly 8''-10'' off. My hair was entirely too long and thick so I made a change. It's time for a followup cut and I want to go a little more sleek. Something clean and easy. 

Above are some inspiration photos I've pinned and emailed to myself. You can tell they are all very similar if not the exact same cut and...well...color. Off I go!

I hope you have a lovely Spring Tuesday! 

Talk to you soon, xoxo bd

Happy Tuesday - Birthday Week

I hope that you are having a lovely Tuesday! It is quite gloomy and rainy here in middle Tennessee and the light in the office seems to mirror the light in the photo above. 

Can I get a blanket and a nap time scheduled? Please? Pretty please? Anyone? No? Okay....Moving on....

Drumroll please! It is officially my Birthday week! I cannot believe 25 years has passed so quickly. I always thought of the age 25 as being an adult but I still find myself saying things like "One day when I'm a big girl" or "An adult would probably have....".  Yet I'm not there yet except for when I pay taxes or insurance or think about efficiency. Kids don't think about efficiency...they just don't.

 I spoke with a co-worker recently and at 47 she said that she still thinks those same thoughts. At what point do you turn into one? A grown-up, that is. 

Well any way, to start the b-day week off right, this past weekend we spent with family and friends! Saturday the Mr. and I got to hang out with each other as we spent the day shopping {I got some makeup goodies} finished by dinner and a movie with close friends. We saw Silver Linings Playbook in case you were curious. Jennifer Lawrence is my new favorite, I'm so glad she won the Oscar! She is just plain funny and I appreciate her self deprecation after the whole trip up the stairs thing. You go girl.

Sunday was special; we got to spend time with my family! We walked around downtown Franklin, took lots of pictures, chomped on yummy pizza and browsed around the boutiques. I love my family and our little niece. I truly truly love them...'nuf said.

Yesterday my main man {My only man by the way} treated me to a mani/pedi and dinner at Carrabbas. How amazing is he? Rather than our usual Monday routine I think I prefer pampering and going out to eat. 

So that's my wee update...again, I hope you are having a lovely Tuesday. February is almost over which means the year is flying by and next Thursday will probably be Thanksgiving. 

Okay, I'm gone :) I'll talk to you soon.

Currently: 2/7/13

Loving:  Quotes. I'm kind of a quote fiend. I like good words. Words that resonate...

Reading: Lots and lots of magazines. I have a pile stacked sky high next to my bedside.

Waiting for: My new print to arrive! Emily over at JonesDesignCompany {whom I so totally copied this questionnaire from} designs lovely artwork and I ordered this little print to place in our bathroom!

Excited about: Valentine’s Day. I love the hearts, the candy, the time with my best friend/hubby/partner-in-crime and going out to eat.

Trying to: Paint More. The other night I came home from work, got out my canvases and acrylics and got started. 

Working on:  waking up earlier. This is a constant battle, truly. I have the grandest ideas of waking up at 5 in the morning to take time on my hair, makeup and maybe even make a nice breakfast. Unfortunately I spend that precious time sleeping. Maybe someday??

Enjoying: Having a bedroom TV. About a month ago we purchased a tv for our room. This is something people swear by or swear off. We absolutely love it! 

Using Addicted To: Vine. It’s an app that is a sister to Twitter. You make 6 second videos about whatever you like. The app will piece the clips you film together for you. Check one of mine out,here!

Wearing: A top knot. Thank you to the person who made it acceptable for me to throw my hair on top of my head and call it put it together. I wear this "hairstyle" more than I'd like to admit.

Planning: Our summer vacation. It is between Vegas, Disney or mayyyybe back to our honeymoon spot, San Francisco

Singing: Mushaboom by Feist. That song is just pure happiness and Spring Time.

Needing: A manicure. Oh these nails,they look rough. 

Whenever I say/type the word rough, I think of “Buzz, you’re girlfriend, ruff!!”. Can anyone relate? 

Learning: to take things in stride. Somedays the stresses of work tear me down and I have to realize they are for learning and/or for not taking too seriously. I can’t let it rule my life, simple as that.

Listening to: anything on my Spotify playlists. I enjoy very much making up new ones to listen to while at work.

Watching: Netflix and Hulu! We are obsessed with following many a series and are currently into The Following, House of Cards and I personally love The Carrie Diaries.

Dreaming of: Having a family. Every time we see our niece Charlotte, we get dreamy thoughts of having our own little one(s). Someday :)
