TOTES TAILGATIN'

If you live anywhere in the Southern hemisphere of the United States then you know.  It's football time again...one of the happiest times of the year (better than Christmas according to M).  In order to be a tailgate-onishta, you might want to invest in some of these:

1. | 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. | 6. | 7.

Notes:

1.  This watch is on the top of my birthday list (less than one month!).  I love all of the strap options available at J. Crew - there's one for every team color.

2.  I am all for gorgeous uncomfortable shoes...at the right time and place.  A long game day deserves comfy shoes.  You'll appreciate it when you're out afterward and you've been on your feet for 12 hours.  (Plus, I love this color of Rainbows)

3.  Um.  Collapsible flask.  For your water?!

4.  For those fall transition days when it's 90 degrees during the day and down to 60 at night, stuff a thin cardi in your purse.

5.  I might invest now.  $43.00!  Pros: nylon a.k.a. waterproof in case of spills/rain, lots of pockets for your goodies, cross-body strap so you don't have to sit it on the gross stadium floor, comes in every possible team color!  Cons: none.

6.  Emi-Jay hair ties so you can throw up your hair when you're trekking across campus and pull it down without a crease when you run into fellow alum.

7.  Adorable lightweight Scout bag to hold all of your tailgating goodies.

p.s. if you noticed, I am partial to orange...

MY LATEST FINDS

I am loving these new (to me) goodies!

 

 Emi-Jay hair ties.  Love.  They are such a cute way to pull your hair back.  They come in a million and five colors (including a USA combo).  I bought one in a store in Green Hills Mall to see if I liked it before committing and I just ordered a 5 pack from the Emi-Jay website.

Mr. Pumice is my new best friend.  Let me tell you that the best pedicure I've ever received was free..from my mother.  She is a maniac about her nail tools and is always looking for the best thing to clean up that dead skin.  She found this at Sally Beauty and after trying hers I went out and bought one.  Best part?  The price - $2.69.

This isn't new to me, but I love to share the gospel with any given chance.  I have had struggled with acne since my teens.  I tried every prescription the dermatologist threw at me and had some pretty gross reactions to topical gels.  In December after dropping another $100+ on some new miracle acne solution I gave up and tried something simple.  Clinique.  I have had clear skin now for 6 months and counting.  AMAZE.  If you have any acne woes, try this.  You will not be disappointed.
*note - get it at Sephora to use your Beauty Insider points :) 

These things are the bomb.com.  Having a dog with big paws, my walls sometimes get marked up when Max tries to make an escape.  The magic eraser takes it off in one quick swipe.
*try the extra strength.

 Mom always said, "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is."  Well, sorry Mom...in this case you're wrong.  It's easy peasy - you sign up and just shop!  Go to your favorite online stores (J. Crew anyone!?) through links on the ebates website and buy away.  You will receive a percentage of your total as a cash back award!  Sign up here and you get a $5.00 credit for getting started!

What new goodies have you fallen in love with lately? -Sarah
