WEEK IN REVIEW.

It's almost Friday (praise the LAWD), so I thought I'd recap the things I am loving most this week, aside from you of course. Sort of an appetizer for the weekend debauchery that is to come? (Happy Happy Birthday to my JTucke & Dimesatchel!) Fact: I never skip the appetizer portion of the meal.

1. LOUD WORKOUT WEAR.
So obviously ready to get my #SVELTEfit on. And who knew Carrie Underwood had her own activewear line!? Have you registered for your first class yet? It's free! Let's go to the barre and then the bar. Code: giltyaschgd

2. THE SPARKBOARD.
My beautiful and talented friend Tina launched her brainchild, The Sparkboard, this week and it is every bit as amazing & inspiring as it sounds. Real art pieces, reclaimed wood, an endless platform for your own creativity? Do yourself a favor and check her out here. You can even support her launch if you feel like your own spark has been #ignited.

3. UNDERGROUND RUNWAY.
This is the absolute first place I go when I am looking for designer pieces at a WAY discounted price. My adorable friend Emily Westergreen runs this fashion powerhouse out of her basement, and people literally flock to her door. I drive her crazy trying to get the best deals from her first, but she puts up with me because I'm funny and always travel with wine. I keep up with all of her latest finds on her Facebook page, but you can also check in right from the website. Bonus for out-of-towners? She ships!

4. LINDI SKIN.
I am a big fan of mixing up my skin care routine, mostly because I love products, but also because I have combination skin that is always changing with the weather. One of my favorite PR mavens sent me a few Lindi Skin products for a test drive and I have become OBSESSED. The entire line is super gentle because it was actually developed for cancer patients whose skin had become sensitive during treatment. My favorite by far is the citrus face serum. It feels like silk and has just enough hydration for my face before bed without making it greasy at all. You can peruse the rest at lindiskin.com and use CODE: BLOG25 for 25% off and free shipping through May 31st! They are donating the proceeds to the American Cancer Society. #nearanddear

 5. MAKE-UP & MAHKEUP.
Two products I cannot get enough of right now. First up, Complexion Rescue by Bare Minerals (Thanks to Megan over at Holy City Chic for selling me on this one!). I have been using it for just over two weeks now and am totally in love! I am more of a full-coverage girl, and this works perfectly under my Make up Forever foundation.

Secondly, after a little skinformation sesh with my best girl Amanda, I decided to test drive the Laura Mercier primer this week over my usual Smashbox pick. I have really been happy with how much more hydrating it is! Definitely keeping this one around in the beauty arsenal.

If you are like me, you are always looking for new beauty products, and more importantly, trying to figure out how the heck to wear them. Check out my beautiful friend Mahlon's blog MAHKEUP to keep up on all of the latest! Bonus points for that name, girlfriend.
Happy (almost) weekend, Gilties! Thanks for being you. EW, I'm so emotional about leaving you!
