I'm linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm Loving... my new coach purse from an Instagram Mom that I follow. I have been looking for one like it forever and it just happened that she posted a picture and I replied and it all worked out.

Since becoming a Mom, I have become a fan of the cross-body purse style. 

I'm Loving...my new tall boots from Heartbreaker. I got them a couple weeks ago in brown, but now I want them in black, too. SShh, don't tell the Hubs.

I'm Loving...that I finally got to meet Ms. Mallory Lynn Mahoney. We had dinner with the Mahoney's last week when they were in town for a long weekend. We usually try and get together with them to catch up while they are in town. They live in Kansas. It's always fun and she is just the cutest little peanut!

I'm Loving...that my Hubs picked out new earrings for Hailey with no help from me.

He did a great job and is the cutest Dad ever for picking out new ones for her.

I'm Loving...all my E.L.F. cosmetics that I have gotten so far AND that they don't test their products on animals. I will be doing a review soon.

I'm Loving...my Hubs making breakfast for me in the mornings sometimes.

I'm Loving...this:

I can't wait for election season to be over.

I'm Loving...that I can find Walden Farms products at Rainbow Foods.

I recently started to grocery shop their more often because it is right by Hailey's daycare. I don't know if I could always find them their, but it was a relief to know that I don't have to go 2 places if I don't need to. 

That's about it for now. Happy Hump Day and have a great week!

Linking up with Tara and Katie for their monthly Birchbox Brag.

Here is my box for October. I opted to get the goop box and I am so glad I did.

All links will take you directly to the product at Birchbox.

Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 Face

DDF® Brightening Cleanser

per-fékt beauty Lip Perfection Gel

Mighty Leaf Tea - Tea Pouches

LUNA Fiber Chocolate Raspberry

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum

I'm pretty happy with my box. The Skin Transformer seems like it could be a replacement for a BB cream. I am kind of disappointed that the sample wasn't bigger or more than just two small pouches. I'm not sure I will be able to get a good feel for how it covers. Same with the lip gel. The sample is so small, I don't even know if a one time use will push me to actually want to buy it. I'm excited to use the DDF cleanser. It's a pretty big bottle, so I feel like I will get enough use out of it. I'm not much of a tea drinker, but I might actually take this tea to work and see how I like it. I'm not a fan of chololate and rasperry together, so I won't be trying this, but I think Hailey will like it. I don't have dark spots on my face where I think I need to use the Radiance Serum or that it would make that much of a difference, but I might just try it anyway and see if I notice a difference. It can't hurt, right? Overall I think I got a pretty good box. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

I am dedicating this post today to the Turner family. If you are a part of the blogging (and twitter) community then you know what I am talking about. For those of you who are not, here is a brief update.

Julee Turner blogs at The Turner Channel. Over this last weekend she lost her husband, Matt, in a car accident. Today is his funeral. Not only has she lost her husband, best friend and love of life, but they have a beautiful 10 month old baby girl, Preslee, that she will have to go on raising without him.

Words cannot express how sad I am for Julee. I cannot even imagine. But I know that having Preslee will help her through this more than anything. She was their little angel when she was born and now they have a big angel watching over them.

You can read Julee’s post about Matt HERE.

I ask you to pray for Julee and Preslee as these days, weeks, months and years go on.
