Loving Lately | Beauty Edition

Today I wanted to share a few Beauty Items I have been loving.  I would love to hear if you gals are using anything amazing I should try out!! 

I recently got a sample of this perfume and loved it so much I ordered it.  Such a light, fresh scent.  I am picky about perfume and hate them to be too over powering and this one is not.

I have been hooked on this line since I went to the new Drybar here in Charleston.  All the products are amazing and smell.  This shampoo and conditioner is great for blonde hair.

This has replaced my beloved It's a 10 for now.  It smells so good and makes my hair easier to brush and hold style.

This is another free sample I received with a Nordstrom order and fell in love with it!  It makes your lashes look so long and full.  I honestly love every Charlotte Tilbury product I have tried.


I am so excited because Beauty Counter just launched a line of 3 mask sets.  They include a mask, a mist and an oil targeted for certain problems.  Ya'll know I am a huge fan of their charcoal mask.  You can buy each of the items separately but it is cheaper as a trio.  I just ordered the brightening set to try and I will let y'all know how I like it.




So many of you have asked about this tool and yes I am still loving it!  Honestly I am lazy about my hair most days and don't use it more than once a week but it is so easy to use and does the perfect loose wave.  It works quickly too I can curl my whole head in about 10 minutes.


I mentioned this the other day but it is a new nightly face cream I am using and loving.  It smells amazing and really moisturizes.  I have dry skin so I like a good moisturizer at night.  Nordstrom is running their Beauty event right now too so if you spend $125 you get a set of 17 products to try!

Beauty Counter body scrub is hands down the best body scrub ever.  I promise once you try it you will be hooked.  It exfoliates your skin and leaves it feeling so soft.

I am addicted to this gorgeous pink color called Passionate Fushsia.  It is the perfect pink color.  It does not go on as bright as it looks in the bottle.  I think it is flattering on everyone too!

I have been using this face mask about 2 months now and loving it.  I actually love the whole Herbivore line.   It is a clean line with no harsh ingredients or chemicals. This is a clarifying and cooling gel mask.  It helps renew skin cells and always makes my skin look smoother afterwards.

Sweet Potato Nibbles + Workout Outfit + Open Door Shop Giveaway


I made this appetizer for happy hour with my neighbors last night but it could totally serve as a main meal too.  The combo of sweet potatoes, goat cheese, bacon, pears and thyme is off the hook good.  And did I mention easy??  The hardest part of this is slicing and roasting the potatoes.  Such an easy and delicious app or main meal.
Enjoy! 


|| S W E E T  P O T A T O  N I B B L E S ||

- 1 large sweet potato sliced
- honey goat cheese
- 1 pear sliced
- 6 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons thyme

Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1 inch rounds.  Place in a bowl and toss with olive oil and salt and pepper.  Lay on a baking sheet.  Preheat oven to 350 roast about 15 minutes, then flip each slice over to cook evenly.  Cook about another 15 minutes.  Remove from the oven and let cool.

Lay on a platter and top with goat cheese, sliced pear. crumbled bacon, and thyme.  You can also drizzle with honey if you want,  
Serve warm or room temperature.

Yesterday's workout outfit, that turned into an all day outfit.  This tank and leggings are two of my favorites.  The leggings not only suck you in and are flattering but they are so comfy too.  


..............................................
Lastly, I am teaming up with Open Door Shop for an awesome giveaway.  Open Door Shop is one of my favorite Charleston shops (they have an online site as well).  If you need a gift or cute entertaining essentials you must check them out! We are doing an instagram giveaway that will start at noon today for a terrafirma serving bowl (pictured below).  Terrafirma ceramics are my favorite serving dishes hands down.  I always get questions about the bowls in my recipe pics and Terrafirma is what I always use!!

To enter to win just check out my instagram @snoopnattynat.

Here are just a few pictures of my many terrafirma serving pieces. One of my favorite things about the dishes is they are dishwasher safe:)  You can check all the in stock terrafirma at Open Door Shop HERE and they also take special orders too.  There are so many amazing patterns,

Obsessions + LIKEtoKNOW.it App

I hope your Tuesday is off to a great start! First of all super exciting news is the new Liketoknow.it App has launched.  It is crazy what technology can do these days.  The app is free in the app store and it allows you to be able to screen shot an image and immediately shop it.  What makes it different from liketoknow.it is that you don't have to wait for an email, you can immediately shop.


Here is how it works:
1) Download the liketoknow.it app
2) Once you download it you will sign and it will walk you through the steps to set up.
3) If you see one of my pictures on instagram you want to shop simply take a screen shot. The cool thing is this also works with snapchap, facebook, and instastories.  You will be able to shop from all these outlets as well.  The picture will have a small watermark in the right hand corner so you know it will work with the app. 
4) About 10-15 secs after you screen shot the image you will receive a notification from the liketoknow.it app with all the products ready to shop. 
5) The app will open or you can open the app to see all the products and shop. 

Regular liketoknow.it will still work the same.  So if you prefer to just like a picture and receive an email it works that way too! 

Now onto a few things I am loving.

I wore this yesterday.  I love the ruffle sleeve detail.  Tee shirt dresses are my favorite because they are so effortless and comfortable for running around with the kids. I am wearing a size 1 (small).

also wearing Necklaces | Sandals | Purse


This is super cute, comes in several colors and is under $50.

Such a classic maxi dress that you could dress up or down.  Also comes in navy and black and is under $70.

Major love for this tassel dress.

Dolce vita shoes are my favorite!  They are always so comfy.
I also love the flat version as well.
I just ordered this.  I have the long sleeve version in 2 colors and love the style.

These are the best.  They just came out with some new colors and I am loving this blue.


This also comes in black.  The lace detail is so pretty.

I am loving the new Lake Pj's abstract designs.  I own a few pairs of these and they are so soft!  They make a great gift for a new mom too:)

I have this in black from last year and love it.  Such a flattering one piece.  I am obsessed with this blue color it just came out in.

I love the soft colors and style of this dress.

Love these pretty pastel colors.

I am loving the new Candyshop Vintage spring rice beads colors.  I have been into layering the green and pink together! 

I ordered these in the tan before our trip to St John.  They are super light weight and come in several colors.

I love the side detail on this.

I am always on the look out for cute jean shorts.  These are under $50.

Scenes From Our Weekend | Wine + Food Festival

Happy Monday! 

This past weekend was the Wine and Food Festival which is always so much fun!  
Friday I attended a bourbon tasting hosted by Brackish Bowties.  I am not a big bourbon drinker but it was fun to sample a few.  I took notes for my brother in law who loves bourbon.
The event was held at the Cigar Factory, it was the perfect space for the event.
I love all these Brackish bowties.  They are each handmade and make such a cool and unique gift.
Lots of Bourbon.

What I wore:

The next day was the big tent event.  Of course my favorite spot was the Whispering Angel booth.

Loved having my parents in town too.
We made a friend with this guy, he was awesome.

Dessert at Rue de Jean.

Sunday we had a pool birthday party.  The kids were in heaven.

One of my favorite Shopbop Sale buys. It has the cutest ties on each shoulder too.

Homemade pizza for dinner.

Have a great start to your week!
