Friday Things + Julep Lori + Julep Coupons!

Hi friends!  Happy Friday!
And to all those with kids in public schools in Charlotte, NC
Happy first day of summer!
I feel like that should have had a blow horn entrance or something.
Moving on.
It’s Friday.  The day I’ve dubbed binge watch OITNB, live in my pajamas and order pizza day.  You know.  After 6:30PM that is.  I have another marathon day at work, but I’m seriously looking forward to actually having a real true day with the kids. 
In other news, I went to bed fairly early last night.  I needed a good night of restful sleep, and I just didn’t get that.  I ended up having a nightmare that I was working in some building that fell victim to a gunman.  It was absolutely terrifying.  The odd thing is, though, I woke up multiple times thankful it was over only to fall back to sleep where the dream continued on.  How come that doesn’t happen with good dreams?
So needless to say, coffee is imperative for this ten hour day.  

Day 5 of Julep Lori
DAY FIVE!!!

I want to share with you a few reasons that I love Julep.  I know I’ve been talking about them quite a bit lately, and as someone who was hugely hesitant to sign up for any kind of monthly subscription service, I have to say…I’m in love.
  • I like that I have the option to skip out whenever I want.  If we just don’t have the expendable cash that month or I’m not feeling any of my options, no harm no foul.  Opt out.
  • If they select a box for me that I’m just not digging, I can swap out products.  This last box that I received, I customized the entire thing.
  • The staying power is unlike any other polish I have.
  • The formulas are great.  Two coats of any polish and boom: opacity.  The polish I’m featuring today is a straight up jelly.  You can probably tell from the picture of the bottle how sheer it is.  The finished look was absolutely gorgeous though.  People kept confusing it for a gel polish!
They’re currently featuring their Plush Pout Lip Crayons which I’m also obsessed with.  They have moisture boosters in the center of the balm which you’d think would sheer out the product, but no.  These suckers are full color!  For a limited time, you can receive two plush pout lip crayons and two new gorgeous nail polish colors for free as part of the Lipstick Welcome Box* (a $68 value).  Just pay the $2.99 shipping!

**this is a monthly subscription service you would be signing up for.  You may cancel or skip a box at any time.  I am a julep affiliate, but I wouldn’t recommend the product or service if I wasn’t truly in love with it!

  4. I hate when that happens with bad dreams! I get that a lot, actually. Sometimes I'll even sit up in bed and give myself a little pep talk like, "Kat, stop having that dream, ok?". It never works. Sounds like you have a relaxing weekend planned, so hopefully that helps!

  5. Sorry you had a nightmare and bad nights sleep! Enjoy your awesome Friday night though 🙂 That polish is GORGEOUS! I like Fabletics for the same reason, you can opt out as many months as you want. That is always nice!

  8. Such a gorgeous color! I haaaate bad dreams, not only because they're scary but because they really do make you feel like you didn't get a very restful sleep!
