Heather's Curly Cues

What I'm Loving

Have you seen these Brazil Nut skin care line at Trader Joes? I'm obsessed! It's so good. It's VERY similar to the more expensive Brazilian Bum Bum cream but for a fraction of the cost. My cousin works for Bum Bum and even he had to admit it was a great dupe! Of course you get what you pay for; and Bum Bum has better ingredients and a slight better texture (in my opinion). But I feel guilty using this Trader Joes version all the times since it's only $7. The Bum Bum line is a treat/splurge. I usually grab some during the Sephora sale.

Peonies. We have two peony bushes in our backyard and it makes me so happy when they bloom. It means that school is almost over and summer is on the horizon. I also love the way they smell in our house.

What We're Eating

I'm failing in the meal planning department lately. I was away for the long weekend, but even before that it's been a struggle the last week or two. Our schedules are crazy. The kids usually eat around 4:00 when they get home from school and then again around 8:00 when they're home from practice. Tonight we're having Trader Joes frozen meatballs and spaghetti.

What I'm Reminiscing About

This weekend at BlockCon was so much fun! It was so great catching up with my friend Stephanie and of course all the events with my favorite band. The concert on Friday night was EPIC, and I thoroughly enjoyed the three panels on Saturday. It was fun and nostalgic watching clips of their old videos, and hearing their stories. AND over the course of the weekend, we randomly ran into Jon at least four times. Once in the hotel courtyard, another time at the Starbucks, another time at the mall.....it was so random and so funny! I said I swear I'm not stalking you.

What We're Up To

This weekend my sister took Laura took the Hamptons while I was away. I love that she got time with her cousins. And Jack and Brian had a baseball tournament.

What I'm Wearing

Right now I'm wearing this dress from Old Navy. It's so cute and comfortable. And on sale! I have it in pink but I love it so much I might order the blue too!

What I'm Watching

The Vanderump Rules Reunions (isn't everybody? lol). I was never a big fan of James Kennedy but he had me cracking up!

That's all.....thanks for reading.

It has been a BUSY but fun couple of weeks around here. Today is my last day of work for awhile and I'm hoping to enjoy some down time as we head into August. I have lots of favorites to share this Friday start with... 1. ENGLISH FACTORY DRESSES: My friend has this dress and it's adorable on her. I had my eye on it for awhile and pulled the trigger when it went sale. I can't wait to wear it this weekend! Sunni Color Block Dress 2. BASEBALL LIFESTYLE : My son Jack is very into this Baseball Lifestyle 101 brand. It's all the rage with the baseball players. He typically wears hand me downs so I treated him to these shorts in blue and pink and the short sleeve hoodie. Baseball Shorts 3. CHERRIES: My obsession with cherries continues. I picked up this straw bag at a local boutique, a cute tank at Old Navy, and some fun items at Five Below. Old Navy Cherry Tank ...

August 22, 2025 1. GIRL TIME: I spent a few days in the Hamptons with my mom this week. Brian and the kids stayed home since sports have already kicked off. Even though Mom lives with us now, we haven’t had much one-on-one time, so it was really nice to catch up. My friend Carrie was also out there solo, so we squeezed in lots of shopping! Such a nice little break before the craziness starts next week. 2. OOFOS flip flops: One of my neighbors has these and swears by them. I bought them in black and have to admit, they are VERY comfortable. I expect to be wearing these to lost of games in the fall. Oofos Original Sandal 3. NEW RUGS: Carrie and I were both on the hunt for rugs and I ended up finding this beautiful blue one at HomeSense. The navy, red, and white rug is from Pottery Barn, and I scored it for an amazing deal on Facebook Marketplace! 3. TUCKERNUCK SAMPLE SALE: The semi-annual Tuckernuck sample sale is live and it's sooooo good. There were so many pieces I loved but I...

LOW LEVEL GOALS FOR 2025 Today I'm linking up with Erika to share our goals for 2024. I like that they are calling these "low level" goals because I don't want to set myself up for failure. I've made the mistake in previous years of setting lofty goals that weren't attainable. So here we go.... Read 25 Books in 2025: Last year I wanted to read 24 books in 2024 and I fell a little short. I think I read about 20. But this year I'm committed. I really enjoy reading so it shouldn't be too hard. The issue is finding the time. We have a vacation planned in April and I love to read on vacation. I also love hunkering down under a blanket with a good book during the colder months. Take Online Classes: I'm a teacher and our district offers pay increases every time you earn an additional 30 credits up to 120 credits. This year my goal is to earn 30 credits (10 classes) before September 1st. A couple of years ago I earned my first 30 and I've slacking...
