Things I Didn’t Buy At Target (And My New Makeup Organizer)

By

Like most Americans, it’s hard to go into Target without buying at least three items you hadn’t planned to buy. I swear, the store’s designers come out with the cutest stuff!

(Mazen agrees – he really wanted this Spiderman costume! Note his face..)

The good news is that our Target is quite a far drive up 29 North, so I don’t go all that often.

The bad news is that I know exactly where the hot spots are with new arrivals, so when I do go, I have a set path that I take through the store that inevitably leads me to the best finds.

While browsing I thought it would be fun to share the things I loved but didn’t buy for a bunch of reasons. (I’ll share links when I can in case they call to you!)

Starting with these coasters. Wood + marble catches the most Basic eye – mine!

In the same department, I loved these marble trays. Almost got them for blog photo shoots, but already have 3 marble trays – eek! (Actually the one I have is from Target!) Mazen asked “What are theeeeese?!”

Isn’t this gold fan so cute?! Actually I loved everything by Noble Supply Co.

This candle smelled like a firepit and was in a stemless wine glass just like the rose gold ones I got from World Market!

And this cake stand combines the best of trendy materials : )

In the process of sharing some links with you I discovered that online almost everything in this list is 10% off. Verrrrrry formidable!

Two things I did buy:

This light saber toothbrush for Mazen. It talks and lights up while you brush! He is OB-sessed!

And this vanity organizer.

I used to have my cosmetics in a little chest with drawers. It was nice because they were out of sight, but annoying because I was always digging through drawers. So I did a big overhaul of all of my beauty products (which included 100 samples!) and organized things into three categories: use everyday, use sometimes, and travel and spares. I trashed or donated the rest to friends.

The “use everydays” are above in my new organizer and my vanity drawer, which has face products and lotions.

The “use sometimes” are in the chest divided by category in drawers. Face, eyes, lips, hair. This was my grandmother’s chest that was her family’s before that.

And the travel toiletries are in a bigger chest full of all kinds of extras. Hashtag drawers!

One final thing I came home with from Target – a picture with blog reader Jill who spotted me trying to convince Mazen that he had enough Batman toys at home! : )

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
