Father's Day Gift Ideas

Well Father's Day is quickly approaching and this one is just dang hard for me. I normally have an idea of what to get the hubby, but my dad and his dad allude me. My dad just buys himself items that he wants and Jason's dad pretty much does the same. Not to mention that the things I think they would want are expensive! So I rounded up some options in various price ranges and personalities to help you (click the links in picture captions).

Armani Cologne

Vineyard Vines Baseball Cap

Atlanta Braves Baseball Cap

Leather Shoulder Bag

Leather Padfolio

Tag Heuer Watch

Under Armour Shirt

Under Armour Cold Gear (Hubby got this for Christmas and LOVED it)

Of course if you are still confused like me Amazon has set up a site for Father's Day ideas just like Mother's Day. You can search by category or price range. Plus many of these are free shipping (SCORE)!

Let me know what you decide to get in the comments below. I struggle with the Dad's at Christmas time too so any brilliant ideas I will share on here. Thanks!!!

Summer Look by H&M OOTD

Who doesn't love H&M for stylish, trendy pieces. I love this summer look by UniqueImage on Polyvore, that any mom or trendinista could wear and be casual but put together. I put in my choices for interepretations of the look that you can get for a fraction of the price on H&M. Let me know what you think! (Click on the image for the pieces)

Game of Thrones Oathbreaker

Obviously the name of this episode refers to Jon Snow peacing out at Castle Black, but lets talk for a minute about some foreshadowing that may be happening...

Ned Stark's Valerian Steel sword was melted by Tyrion Lannister and turned into two swords after he lost his head. If what I am remembering and reading is correct one of them is now Jamie Lannister's and the other is Bryanne of Tarthe's. Bryanne's is called Oathkeeper. Not sure what this has to do with the price of beans, but Sansa is on her way to Castle Black with Bryanne (and Oathkeeper) where Jon Snow just left (Oathbreaker- is he really an Oath-breaker though since he technically served until he died?). Also, did anyone notice he left the cloak with his appointed new leader but definitely dipped off with the sword. 

Also this week was the return of Rickon Stark. Several fan theories here. We see the head of Shaggydog but was it really him? The Lord Umber was fiercely loyal to the Starks so it doesn't make sense that he is betraying them now. Also he would pledge allegiance to Ramsey Bolton (silent cheering). This could be a trick to over-through the Bolton's. 

Finally, did anyone catch the foreshadowing that Arya threw out. She definitely said that The Hound was alive when she left him and that she no longer wanted him dead. Could this be setting up an attack on The Mountain and House Lannister???

All Time Beauty Favorites Holy Grail

Summer months mean that my beauty routine changes a little. And while I love a good beauty sale and trying new items there are a few that I would consider to be staples or holy grail items. These are a few of my favorites. 


Anastasia Brow Whiz           

Mac Lipstick in Brave

GHD Hair Straightener

A new favorite Mac Prowear Concealer

Urban Decay Naked Palette - any of them are good, I like number 1 the best

Urban Decay Naked Basics

Essie Nail Polish the smooth texture really does make the extra few bucks worth it. 


Laura Mercier Translucent Powder

Summer months = time to break this one out Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer 

I haven't met a Tarte blush that I haven't enjoyed either. The pigment payoff in these are amazing!

Audible???

So I am looking for your experiences with Audible...I am thinking of signing up. I have recently started to listen to books on my Kindle App for I phone on the way to and from work. I have a long commute and this has actually been helping (I LOATHE driving).

I have always been an avid reader but have found that after having a baby (now toddler) it isn't as easy to have time. I am currently reading The Life Changing Magic of Tiding Up. It is a best seller and so I have decided to see what the hype was about (my thoughts on this later).

Anyway if you are interested here is the link and if you have already tried let me know what you think below:

Urban Decay Revolution Lippys for $11

I just saw that the Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks are on sale all over for $11!!! That is almost 50% off.

Game of Thrones Jon Snow!!! Season 6 Episode 2

If you haven't watched this week's episode stop now! Seriously I am about to spoil everything and this was a good one...Are you still reading? Ok good you must have already watched it. I woke up super early on Sunday for a beach trip (which was amazing) so I conked out early and missed it, and thus had to avoid all social media and co-workers all day Monday. I seriously started our staff meeting by telling my team that I hadn't watched it yet and no one better ruin it. 

So now I can say JON SNOW IS ALIVE!!!! What is up with the GOT writers in season 6 making the absolute last 10 seconds of the show the most exciting of all!!! I knew that it wasn't coincidence that Melisandre was at Castle Black. So now that Jon Snow is back in the game, how about he is probably the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna (Bran also had a dream/trance where we got to see Lyanna for the first time). R + L = J so Rhaegar Targaryen would be fire for dragons and Lyanna Stark would be Ice as a ward of the North. Coincidence that the dang theme song is A Dance of Fire and Ice, I think not. 


Also, who also saw Ollie almost get chopped?!!

Similarly, I think there is no way that it is a coincidence that Tyrion is setting the other two dragons free...Could he be the third head of the dragon? He definitely was able to calm them unlike many others. There is also a lot of foreshadowing going on in previous seasons (to see what I mean click here). 

We also learned that Houdor's real name is Wylis and he used to speak. Clearly there is more to this story. I was recently reading a theory about how he may have been a warg like Bran and he was in the trance to long and couldn't come all the way out. It also said that he warged into Lyanna's horse. Not sure where all that was coming from but an interesting spin, no less.
