Currently: Things You Need To Know

Wondering:

How did I, Katie Vino Krysh, miss celebrating National Wine Day?! I'm not really sure. I had heard earlier in the day it was, and then completely dropped the ball and forgot. Or maybe it was because I got preoccupied planning some really exciting things for the next few months. More on that in a minute!

But either way, it's a good thing that I consider most Wednesday's (and Friday's...and..yeah) to be a wine kinda day anyways, so I think I'll make up for it tonight.

 (back from our Napa trip...sigh...)

Enjoying: 

Our new bed from One Kings Lane! I've known for a while that I wanted a tufted headboard, but went back and forth between different styles and places to buy it from what seemed like every other week. I spotted this one (it's called the Alexander Tufted Wingback Bed) on One Kings Lane and almost immediately bought it. It looks even better in person and I love the nail head detail on the sides...

Once we decide on the other furniture for this room, I will do a full post with more pictures of everything. We are probably moving in some of our other furniture that we had in one of our guest bedrooms to go with this new bed, and moving our old items out, so once that happens I will share the complete look! But if you are contemplating purchasing a tufted bed, GO FOR IT! It's a nice change from the traditional wood bed and honestly makes me feel like I'm in some fancy hotel or something. :) (the color is linen and the headboard is 55" high if anyone is wondering..)

Watching: 

This past weekend we saw Lone Survivor, and I'm actually going again tonight to see it for a second time with my Dad. This movie is a must see in my opinion. Yes, it's pretty graphic and intense so beware of that, but it really gives you a whole new respect (and look inside what really goes on) for our troops and what they do for our country. After I first saw it, I came home and read all about Marcus (the one who survived) and I'm interested in reading his book too.

Loving:

I'm glad you asked! 1. I've got some new beauty products to rave about today...

I've mentioned the Suave products here (don't forget to enter the giveaway), but all these others are my recent favorites as well that you need to know about. The scrub I picked up from the VS semi-annual sale so if you find it next time the sale rolls around, buy it! It is awesome and smells so good. I've been using this Acne Stress Control face wash by Neutrogena and am so impressed, considering the price (and it's on sale right now). No breakouts and doesn't dry my face out...I will be purchasing this again when I'm out for sure. Maybelline's Volum' Express The Rocket...BEST mascara I've tried from a drugstore in a long time. And last but not least, have you guys heard or tried Garnier's Anti-Puff Eye Roller?!

It contains mint extract and caffeine which gives it a cooling effect on your skin, and you simply roll it on under your eyes to reduce puffines. Highly recommend! Awesome, awesome product. 

2. My new black Ray-Bans from SmartBuyGlasses that I've been lusting after for so long! Ray Bans are the only sunglasses that I absolutely love and wear all the time, which is why my collection is getting a bit out of control. To my defense...each pair has definitely got it's use over the years!

Cooking:

Complete slacker in this area lately, but today I plan to whip up some of my favorite copycat Chipotle guacamole (you're crazy if you haven't made it yet!) to have with our taco's tonight. The good news is that now that the weather will (hopefully) be warming up, I will be more inspired to try some new recipes and get back in the kitchen. It's hard to transition back into a routine and meal planning after a vacation, but I'm trying. I plan to share some yummy, healthy recipes in the next few weeks!

Looking forward to:

Billy's 30th birthday is coming up and SOON! (March 3rd) I've been busy planning some secretive ideas and things for him that I am so excited about. Unfortunately, some of it you won't know about until the end of April because it isn't happening until then and I'm {hopefully} keeping it a secret! There also might be a trip to my favorite state of Texas in the works to visit my bff. Picture a big happy dance right here, right now!

....did I mention that it's 40 degrees here and will be 55 tomorrow? Talk about heatwave! (sad, isn't it?) Our snow is melting and it honestly feels so, so good. I might even crack my windows in my car tomorrow, judge away!

Happy hump day!
