Things to do in Maryland ~ Lavender Fields Farm at Springfield Manor!

 


Hi Dolls,

I'm excited that my favorite season is here! I love the warmer weather and outdoor events. I visited Spring Field Manor in Thurmont, Maryland, last weekend to visit the Lavender Fields. The annual Maryland Lavender Festival was held June 13-14th, it was a sold out event. I wasn't able to attend, but I got a ticket to visit the Lavender Fields.

It was such a peaceful experience. I've lived in Maryland for over half of my life and visiting the fields felt like I was transported to another state. The land and views were so captivating. It was nice to spend the day surrounded by lavender blooms, sunshine, and the simple reminder that beauty can be found in the quiet moments. 

I felt like this was one of the best resets. It allowed me to step away from the routine, take the scenic route, and allow myself to be fully present. It left me feeling refreshed and inspired. This visit will definitely be a core summer memory for me. Scroll for pictures, captions, and the details. 💜


See the Elephants band was entertaining, we enjoyed listening to them

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a  review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face. ...

Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner Review

After promising myself to take better care of my hair, I read in a hair care magazine that if you have breakage or dry hair (like my hair) to consider purchasing a leave-in conditioner, since you don't have to rinse it out-the conditioner keeps on working and conditioning your hair. This was perfect for me because I'm really lazy when it comes to styling and taking care of my own hair... usually I look for products that are easy and quick to use. I do use Creme of Nature's Detangling shampoo, so I figured I would buy their leave-in conditioner. FYI- Creme of Nature is a brand that specializes in hair care products for women of color, who have natural or relaxed hair. They mostly use natural ingredients in their products, which they call "Certified Organic." Product Claims "Pamper your hair with this creme-based formula to soften, detangle, and provide the ultimate conditioning.  Perfect for color treated hair, organic  Lemongrass works to tone and hig...
