Old Navy

When I was chosen for this opportunity I was so excited!

I went online right after I got the email that I was selected and picked out a bunch of stuff for each of my kiddos, so I'd know exactly what to grab when I got to the store.
They have some extremely adorable clothes right now,
it was hard to decide what I wanted to get them.
They really did outdo themselves this spring with their cute kids clothes.
And right now at the Old Navy kids and baby event
you can save up to 40%!

Zane looks adorable in polo shirts and colored pants so I had to get those.

Lilah needed something cute for summer and little, tiny cardigan is a must!

I definitely had a great time going shopping for my kiddos.
we don't always have a whole lot of extra cash to go out and buy clothes,
so this was a complete blast!

Of course had to show you a picture of both of them in one of their adorable new outfits!

Don't they look so adorable?
I am so happy with all the cute clothes I ended up with.

I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective,
and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

big & little style

I thought I'd start a fun little thing for Saturday that I'm calling 

big & little style.

It's pretty straightforward,

I am going to make an adult outfit & a baby/toddler outfit. 

I will do both women's/girl's & men's/boy's.

Here is my first installment...

big/little by libbyuglesich featuring ballet shoes


I am really loving the pink skinnies and chambray shirts right now!
And I really love ballet flats anytime.

5 minute makeup routine

This makeup routine is for those days that you have about 30 minutes to get yourself 

and your kiddos ready to run out the door on last minute errands or play dates 

but you don't want to leave without a little makeup.

5 min makeup by libbyuglesich featuring an eye care

1:: Huggies naturally refreshing baby wipes::

This may sound weird but I use these when I am in a time crunch or just want a little refreshing.

I wipe my face with one of these wipes... 

they feel so refreshing 

{just like the name}

and they also remove that little bit of dirt you built up while sleeping the night before.

2:: BareMinerals Renew & Hydrate eye cream::

I just started using this and so far I am loving the way it makes my eyes feel...

now that I am in my 30s I really need to start taking better care of my skin especially on my face

so this stuff is perfect way to start that.

I pat this under my eyes and also on my eye lids.

3:: Dermalogica Skin Smoothing cream::

I absolutely love love love this stuff!

Yes it's extremely expensive but it is 100% worth it.

My skin feels so amazing after using it & it keeps my skin hydrated all day

which I really need...

after having both my babies my face is so dry!

I put this all over my entire face and I also use it on my neck.

4:: BareMinerals Stroke of Light eye brightener::

This is for under your eyes and helps brighten them up

and it also is great for covering up those dark circles all of us moms have from those long nights

we are up with our babies!

I dab some on with the stick then pat it in with my fingers.

5:: Benefit Stay Don't Stray::

It's supposed to be used for keeping your eyeshadow from creasing...

I do use it for that on the days I use eyeshadow but on those days I just don't have time for it,

I use it as cover up on those pesky acne spots that I have.

The girl at the Benefit counter is the one who actually told me to do this & it has worked awesome!

I pat this on with my fingers {if you rub it in it just disappears, so pat don't rub.}

6:: BareMinerals matte foundation::

On the days I don't really need complete

and full coverage I use just my BareMinerals foundation,

it gives me enough coverage to even out my skin which is all I need on those

last minute outings.

This goes all over my face

and you can add as much as you need that's the beauty of this foundation,

so if you need a little more coverage on just one little spot you can concentrate it there.

7:: Too Faced Snow Bunny Bronzer::

This bronzer is awesome.

I love it and have used it since I was 18.

It gives me just the right little glow.

I sweep it across my forehead, along the sides of my nose,

on the apples of my cheeks and just a touch on my chin & neck.

8:: Mac powder blush in peony::

I love this blush...

I got it for my wedding and have used it now for about 5 years.

It's the perfect color for my skin.

I just use this on the apples of my cheeks.

9:: Maybelline Volum' Express mega plush mascara in blackest black::

I love this mascara.

The brush is angled and it is also a flexible brush so it goes on really easily.

I only put mascara on the top lashes during the day.

I do not ever curl my eyelashes because they already touch my brow bone & leave little black marks

if I don't keep my eyes closed for a few seconds after applying my mascara.

{because they are so long. 

I know you can hate me for it, my mom does!}

10:: Fresh Sugar Rose lip treatment:: 

I got this from Sephora as my birthday gift and I fell in love!

This stuff feels so good on my lips and it has just the right hint of color to give them a pick me up.

I just put this on my lips and I am good to go.

Here is the look put into action :) 

She's totally a momma's girl right now

I hope that this has been a little bit helpful in getting out the door fast when you just don't have time for yourself really but need to look somewhat put together! :)

My go to for quick hair is the side braid that I have done in the above picture.

I can do a tutorial for it on here for you if you'd like but I got mine from

Kate at the Small Things Blog here

and just continued it longer and put it into a messy bun.

biggest loser:: week 5

I thought I'd check in with biggest loser blogger edition. 

I weighed myself this morning and I lost 1lb and I am happy with that.

I am now at 156.8 which was my first 'goal' for WW.

I really think Weight Watchers helps me...

but I need to start working out!

I still have not done that.

I had a little bit of a rough week last week...

I got a massive migraine on Friday & was physically ill from it pretty much all day.

{thank goodness my husband was able to come home}

And that headache has stayed with me...

yes I still have an underlying headache that just won't go away.

I am most likely going to try to get into the doctor this week to see what's going on.

But back to the weight,

I am happy with how things are going and I hope it continues.

Also I joined a group of my friends 

{who are all trying to lose weight}

on a website called weightlosswars.com and we're encouraging each other on our journey 

and also working together.

We aren't making it a competition...

we are calling it encouragement for weight loss.

And I am very excited to have some more motivation & encouragement from some friends!

That's pretty much where I am this week and I am happy where I am. :)

Fashion Friday

I thought I'd give you the second installment of my wardrobe essentials.

All of these items are all things that I think every girl should have

to build that versatile wardrobe... 

that you can mix and match to make all sorts of cute outfits for yourself!

wardrobe essentials 2 by libbyuglesich featuring uniqlo


I hope you all can get some good ideas from what I think are essential to every girl who wants a wardrobe that is so versatile you can basically mix and match everything...
so that you don't really have to think to put a cute outfit together.
All you'll have to do is grab a few things out of your closet and add some cute accessories
and you'll have something cute and comfy to go out in,
whether it's on a date night with your honey, out to dinner & drinks with your girlfriends
or even just to take your kids to a play date.
You will be put together and look like you put a ton of effort into your outfit but in actuality you just grabbed something without even looking.

I will try to come back with a 3rd wardrobe essentials for you in a few weeks.
And if there is anything you think I'm missing please let me know!
