What's Up Wednesday {March 2023}

 Happy Wednesday Friends! Today I decided to link up with Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday! I've been reading and following them for literally years, and I love keeping up with them.

So here we go...with a little peak into my world...

What We're Eating This Week...

I actually saw Shay posted this white chicken chili recipe the other day, and thought it sounded so good. I'm making it tonight, and I can already smell it in the crockpot. Can't wait. I typically make another recipe, but thought this would be good for something different. 

What I'm reminiscing about...

Just how quickly time is flying...hubby and I will have been married 4 years in June, and we were talking about this just the other day. How we can't believe how quickly it's gone so far!

What I'm Loving...

This time of year, I love to add a few things to my makeup routine just to give me a little glow, and make me not feel so blah from the winter. Insert my new FAVORITE cream bronzer and highlighter duo sticks. They go on easily and are very simple to use. For the bronzer, I just draw the lines on my face (see pics) and then blend with my fingers. For the highlighter I just dab on the top of my cheek bones and blend with my finger as well! So pretty!

What we've been up to...

Trying to get our backyard in shape so that we can spend more time out there this spring and summer! We've had a new fence built, hubby planted new plants/flowers, and we've had our patio redone (stamped concrete). Oh and we also got a new patio set which will be so nice to eat on when the weather warms up a tad. I'll try to get some pics for next time!

What I'm dreading...

Nothing really at the moment...

What I'm working on...

Back in January I became a consultant with Mary Kay. And I'm LOVING it! I had used Mary Kay as a teenager, and my mom had used it all growing up too. A friend of mine gave me some samples about a year ago, and I fell in love with the skincare and saw such an improvement in my skin. I decided to be a consultant honestly for the personal use discount. I'm having alot of fun over on Insta, sharing all things skincare and beauty tips! You can find me there @mrspennanen

What I'm excited about...

SPRING!!! I'm just so excited about having warmer weather, and not being cooped up in the house all day. I. Am. Over. Winter.

What I'm watching/reading...

Ok, if you have not seen The Chosen, run don't walk right now and start watching it! It's AMAZING! We watched all three seasons in just a few days. I can't recommend it enough, and what a perfect time to watch as we're approaching Easter.

As far as what I'm reading...

I just finished Becoming Free Indeed by Jinger Vuolo. I was an avid watcher of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting, as well as Counting On, so I couldn't wait to read this. I loved the book. She did a great job of disentangling her true faith from the man made rules she grew up with. I would say if you watched and enjoyed the show, you'll like her book. I would also recommend this to anyone who grew up in a very strict religious environment and has since walked away from their faith. 

What I'm wearing...

I recently picked up this sweatshirt in lavender at Anthropologie. It's ON SALE, and it's soooo good! I want to get the orange one now too! I sized up to medium just for a touch more room/length. It's the perfect weight for temps now and will even be cute with shorts as we head toward summer. 

What I'm doing this weekend...

I don't know yet...probably continuing to clean up our backyard...and laundry LOL...exciting stuff over her!

What Amazon purchase did I love this month?

My tried and true favorite base and top coat for nail polish. I've purchased this for years and years. It never fails me. hahaha...

Ok, I think that is all for this Wednesday! I hope you all have a wonderful rest of this week. I will be back on Friday with my Favorites!
