Good morning! If you've been following along via Instagram or read my post earlier in the week about my friend Heather, you know I'm hosting an Instagram Auction today!

I just wanted to make sure...absolute sure...you knew about it so you could bid, if you're interested!

Remember, all proceeds go to Heather's ministry as she and her family move across the pond and start a really unique church in Oxford.

I have a fervent eagerness to build a place where we can get filled up, when we feel like all we do is pour out.

I do my best to be real and honest about life, our struggles, and how God stretches me through (so many) mistakes along the way.

May this be a place of nourishment for an everyday, beautiful life.

Have you purchased faux plants that come in a pretty pot? I went through a bunch of mine that just look old and soooo not real (๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚) and ripped them out so I could keep the fun vessel and toss the fake plant portion.

Iโ€™ve loooooved having these flowers in what used to hold faux ferns from @targetโ€™s #threshhold collection a few years back. (In case youโ€™re wondering, the stems are pressed into floral foam)

Iโ€™m wondering how many more days they can be enjoyed before having to give in and toss โ€˜em...this part of fresh flowers SO bums me out!

Fresh flowers are the BEST!! But now Iโ€™m remembering why faux are my friends, too.
๐Ÿ˜‚
Give me a little ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ if you have a hard time throwing away your flowers...even WAY after they need to be!
One of these things is not like the other ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
.
Imani won the big prize at school and Elsabet is wondering why hers suddenly looks so small
๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
Iโ€™m horrible at creating a Smokey-Eye (you too?!) but tried my hand at it today after @katprostudio and I did a tutorial on it (because Elsabet told me I needed to โ€œdress fancyโ€ today for her Valentines Party ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜‰).
๐Ÿ’•
Head to my IGTV station to watch it and to my Stories if youโ€™d like to Swipe Up and get the gorgeous @beautycounter palette we used!!)
๐Ÿ’•
Happy Valentines Day, friends!

TIPS:

1. Apply Nightfall over the lid.

2. Go in with the color crown on the center of the lid to add that pop for sparkle!

3. Apply denim in the corner and crease with a blending eye brush( that will be a fluffy brush).
.
4. Then apply bone in above the tear duct area and below the eye brow.

5. Apply your eye liner to your desired look.
false lashes if you would like โœจBoom! You got yourself a fabulous smokey eye!
Seriously you guys, balloons are the EASIEST (and lets be honest, most fun!) way to add whimsy to a party!! Iโ€™m slightly obsessed with decorating for preschool parties and had so much fun helping with Elsabetโ€™s this morning!

WHAT YOU NEED:
.
โœ”๏ธ Balloons (obvi)
.
โœ”๏ธ Hand-held balloon pump (you can get online or at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Party City, etc)
.
โœ”๏ธ Glue Dots

DIRECTIONS/TIPS:

For doing a table like this, Iโ€™d just blow them up halfway, not too big. Use the Glue Dots to stick them together in a haphazard way, making sure the tails are tucked under so they donโ€™t show (much). Donโ€™t overthink it! Just build it up and have fun with it!!
๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿ’•
To my favorite weirdo who has helped me raise more weirdos...I love you! @ben_c_anderson
What if I were to tell you Iโ€™m starting a podcast for @theandsociety?! What working-moms would you like to hear from...and what would you like to know?!
๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ
PS the website officially launches SOON!!

Let's stay connected

I'm just so thankful you're here. May this be a place where you can sit back and feel nourished...take a few moments for yourself so you may be filled up. No one can pour from an empty bucket.
