Happy Friday everyone...it's hard to believe it's April already! I know I say it every month, but I feel like March absolutely flew by. It probably helps that I've been super busy working on some exciting projects that I just cannot wait to share with you all! We're suppose to have rain all weekend here in NC, which is a bummer, but April showers bring May flowers after all. I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend! Remember these shoes from this post ? Well, I got a coupon in the mail..broke down and bought them! I'm so glad I did, they are super cute and I've already worn them a handful of times. They also come in this color which I'm now convinced I need as well! Speaking of shoes, I was on the hunt for some peep-toe mules and stumbled across these cognac mules, which were exactly what I was looking for! They're actually quite comfy and I see them being a closet staple of mine. Are there any must have shoes on your list for spring?

I have really been searching for some great detox smoothie recipes. So far I've found some really great ones on pinterest, some of my faves...this raspberry lime one, this pineapple spinach, and this sunrise detox one...also how gorgeous are those bright colors, pretty & healthy! Have any of you tried out a detox smoothie, or have an recipes..let me know!

A few weeks ago, I picked up this smashbox lipstick and I can't get enough of it! It is the perfect pinky nude and goes so well with everything without being too much. It's a matte, which I've really been loving recently. I've also finally gotten the hang of over lining (a-la Kylie Jenner) this is also a really good cheat sheet for a few different takes on accentuating your lips. Also, I recently discovered this top coat that transforms any lipstick into a matte, love it!

For the longest time, I have been wanting to try my hand at cooking a veggie burger from scratch and I actually just came across this list of 17 interesting veggie burgers...and let's just so YUM! I've always been a little afraid to actually commit to cooking my own veggie burger from scratch..but figure how hard can it really be? I'll be sure to share my experience and recipe once I bite the bullet and just try it. In the meantime, I did discover a really great quinoa patty by morning star that I have been in love with..seriously I ate it 3 days in a row..it is that good.

What are you loving this week? xo, S
