Things You Should Know About

In a very pro blogger move today, I am sharing a few things that I've purchased lately that are pretty much awesome. I think you should know about them too.

Don't get your hopes up, this is probably a one time thing.

But I did take a cool photo to document the occasion.

shirt / detergent / candle / shoes (similar) / mascara

Texas Shirt - I went to Sam's Club last night (yessssss bulk shopping) and came across these adorable Texas shirts. There were three different styles, all flattering cuts, and couldn't  really be passed up since they were something like $9.   (This is the curse of Sam's Club…everything is $9. I must have it all!) I have so far resisted the urge to buy Texas-inspired clothing since I still call Colorado home, but…like I said, it was $9... and I've lived here for 10 years. I need to accept it.

Tyler Glamorous Wash in "Diva" - You guys. You guys. You guys. Please get this. My mother-in-law who is The Ultimate Homemaker got me hooked on this detergent. It's made by Tyler Candle Store, who is also behind many of my absolute favorite candles right out of Tyler, TX. (Don't worry, they ship in bulk if you can't buy them locally.) It's kind of pricey, but you really don't need much and I only wash our sheets and blankets in it. I am not kidding when I say that  this detergent makes me look forward to laundry day. I feel like we live in a five star hotel every night when I get in bed! Worth it. Also makes a great hostess gift. Just saying.

Capri Blue Volcano Candle (more for the jar) - Well, I think everyone on the planet already loves this candle, but my last trip to Anthropologie had me going crazy over this new iridescent jar and copper lid. (It's probably not new at all, I just don't live by an Anthro…sad story) It's something you could definitely use in decor after the candle burns out. 

Squeaker Shoes - If you are one of those people who hates squeaker shoes then you are going to hate me because I find no greater happiness than seeing chunky little toddler legs squeaking around. I found these babies on Zulily for $14.99 but am so impressed by the quality and the company as well! Now Hayes just needs to learn to walk... 

Roller Lash Mascara (Benefit) - When I was at home my mom let me borrow her mascara (I was informed by my sisters that this is gross), but I fell in love. You really don't need much of it and it's definitely my favorite that I've ever used. Which is saying something. 

Alright, I must go. I promised Parker we would go to the park today and it's already 3.
