Happy FRIDAY, friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful week. This weekend, we have very very few plans which makes my heart really happy. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful weekend in McKinney which means I plan on spending most of it…
…outside with my peeps 🙂 .
I always get all the feels when it’s Mother’s Day weekend.
I am certainly very grateful for the moms in my life (my mom, my grandmother, my mother-in-law, my three wonderful aunts), and being a mom is without a doubt my very favorite thing in life…but I also know that this can be a very hard weekend for so many too. I know many of you have lost your mother or your children or you are struggling to get pregnant, some of you have given children up for adoption, some have “prodigal” sons and daughters…this can be a very hard holiday. I just wanted to let you know that no matter who you are or what you’re going through this weekend, I’m sending you so much love.
Per usual, I have this week’s batch of my favorite things, and as always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you a HAPPY HAPPY WEEKEND!
Thank you for all of your enthusiasm for my annual SHAY’S HAPPY MAY GIVEAWAY!
My family could not love this year’s giveaway prize more …
…I shared an entire post on how much I LOVE MY NEW CARRY ON LUGGAGE!
I loved it so much that…
…I bought Kensington a set…
…and Ashby one too!
Andrew had to go out of town in April, and he used my set and loved it too. We clearly cannot quit it 🙂 .
If you are looking for new luggage pieces, the Shulls are obsessed.
I am so excited to announce the winner of SHAY’S HAPPY MAY GIVEAWAY! She will receive (in the color of her choice) all three of my pieces: THE WEEKENDER BAG + THE CARRY-ON ROLLER + THE DOPP KIT.
Congratulations SUE MANNING!
I emailed you this morning. Please email me back ASAP to claim your prize!
Calling all FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
I love partnering with my VERY FAVORITE skincare and hair care brand, COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD…
…especially when it’s their 25% off site wide FRIENDS AND FAMILY SALE…buuuuuuuut…
…YOU CAN ALSO TAKE 30% OFF IF YOU SPEND $150+!
THAT IS A HUGE SAVINGS!
Here’s a little reminder about the products I use each and every day:
I apply a thin layer of VITAMIN C BRIGHTENING SERUM to my clean face in the AM followed by…
…the RETINOL SUPREME EYE SERUM (I use it morning and night!).
Next up, I always, always combine either the SHEER RENEWAL CREAM or the MOISTURE VEIL SILK EMULSION (both great AM moisturizers) with…
…a bit of the ETHEREAL GLOW SERUM. Just a little goes a long way to give my skin a bit of warmth and glow without making it too bronze or tan. I love, love, love this combination! It’s the perfect oomph to my skincare.
And as you know, at night, I remove all of my makeup (even stubborn eye makeup) with…
… their RADIANT CLEANSING BALM! It is the GOAT! This is my VERY favorite product, and if I only bought one thing, this would be it. I use this every single day to remove my makeup and cleanse my skin. It never leaves my skin tight or dry. It’s hydrating and cleansing. My mom, daughters and I all use this every day. Love.
I follow that up with their AGE RENEWAL SUPER SERUM. I’ve used this serum for years and years at night under my moisturizer. It fights the six signs of aging: texture, dehydration, elasticity, fine lines, radiance, and tone. And then I wear the VITAMIN C NOURISHING CREAM as my nighttime moisturizer.
This sale would be an excellent time to try the only SHAMPOO and CONDITIONER the ladies in my family use! Once you use it, you’ll never go back to the other stuff again.
Right now through May 11th, get 25% off site wide FRIENDS AND FAMILY SALE or 30% off site wide when you spend $150+!
Every month, I share my TOP 10 with you.

…rinse and repeat this week 🙂 . My top is an oldie from Athleta, and my skirt is my tried and true favorite TENNIS SKIRT…
…I have it in several different colors…
…because it’s comfy, it has pockets, it’s cute, it doesn’t wrinkle, and it’s perfect for warm weather 🙂 .
And yesterday…BEACH PANTS + TANK + FLIP FLOPS for the win.
