Good morning, friends!

Wednesdays start early for me, but I have a few minutes to sit with you for coffee before I have to head out for my breakfast meeting.

Since  I had the foresight to lay my clothes out last night, I actually had a few extra minutes to focus on my make up this morning. It really is the simple things that make our mornings easier, huh?

Anyway, I received a free YSL mascara from Influenster last week, and I wanted to try it out since what girl isn’t on the hunt for a new favorite mascara? I was a little inspired by the gold packaging to pull out some liquid gold shadow and liner. I’m pretty happy with the results.

The mascara wasn’t clumpy, and it gives lots of volume without making me look too done up for work. Here’s a little mascara application tip: bend over a hand mirror so you’re applying from an “upside down” perspective. The change in angle will help you get every lash, even the tiny ones in your inner corners.

Is everyone else enjoying these spring mornings as much as we are? We’re soaking them, and spending a lot of time in the sunshine, which is necessary because tomorrow is going to be cold and rainy.

Fortunately, the weather should perk back up a little for the weekend, which is good because the Mister and I want to get some yard work and garden prep done. He wants to start some seeds and keeps asking me what I want to grow in the garden. I’m thinking tomorrows, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, spaghetti squash and lots of herbs. I also want strawberries and blueberry bushes.

Would you add anything to my list? You can keep up with our garden progress on our other blog, A Little Seed Grows.

Well, y’all. The alarm that tells me to leave for my breakfast meeting just went off. So I guess I gotta run. Hope you enjoyed our little coffee date. Catch up soon.
