Bean Boots/ Striped Turtleneck/ Girly Book/ NYX Concealer/ Pink Earrings

Here's what i've been loving in the month of February...

1- This has been the month of snow. As you all are probably aware of considering how much I have talked about it. Snow = Bean Boots.

2- The softest, comfiest turtleneck tee ever. I have to restrain myself from wearing it everyday. Such a great layering piece!

3- I've really been into reading books for fun lately, and this has to be my favorite right now. It's such a cute book! I seriously can't wait for the sequel coming out in May! Now I really want to read this book....

4- I don't know why I ever stopped using this concealer. It was probably due to not being around an Ulta at the time of need. I tried it out last year and fell in love.

5- I have posted these so many times this month and I am really sorry! It's like I just bought them so I was going crazy and wanted to wear them everyday. 

6- Coffee. Oh my goodness, I love coffee anyway but this month I have just been inhaling it. I don't need but one cup of caffeine so I just drink it mostly for the taste, and I think it's due to the glorious amount of local coffee on the cape. Seriously there are only 3 Starbucks and my taste buds are not a huge fan anymore. Sorry Starbs! I still love your tea though!

This is my last post for 2 weeks (insert crying face)! I'm heading to South Africa on Monday for a missions trip, but I will be back soon so no worries. Follow along on my Instagram though because i'm going to try and post leaving/coming back- @catlyonc 
Thank you so so much y'all!! xxo

I can't tell you how many people have made fun of this fur headband.... Yes, it may be a little ridiculous but it is a lifesaver for those freezing moments. Like shoveling the driveway when the wind chill is in the negatives.

Today marks one week away from my departure to South Africa for 12 days!! I will not be posting during this time because it is just too much to get 3 weeks of posts together in one week. But once I am back and rested (jet lag) I will start posting again.

Thanks so much for reading!

I wasn't planning on posting this outfit; five minutes later I got this scarf in the mail. I am headed to South Africa in a little more than a week and was thinking of the (longggg) flight. We're going from the temps being in the teens to the 80's, so I needed something to keep me warm but I could take off and stuff somewhere once we got to Africa. I know blanket scarves are not really in anymore, but they are so amazing for cases like this.

This week I realized why I really blog. It's my hobby, it's my escape, it's my stress & anxiety reliever. I used to think blogs were silly, and I still think that's how some people view it, but wow has blogging been blessing me personally. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

You know how a simple brunch & shopping with a friend can instantly refresh you? It's like you can take on the whole world afterwards. That's what Saturday was for me. It was perfect. Also, I think my family liked me a little more because I was in high spirits and not mopey.... 

But can we talk about this sweater? I was always skeptical ordering it since it is overseas, but I pulled the trigger a few weeks ago. There are some reviews that say a few Sheinside products come without tags; that did happen when I bought this sweater. It was only $19 and it's actually very thick material, so I wasn't really going to worry about it. 

Thanks for stopping by!
