#FITFABFUN VIP Box… A Second Chance

Popsugar•Uncategorized
I had a totally bad experience last time with the FFF box.  So after a bit of back and forth with FFF, they offered to send me a winter box to make up for the disaster of the fall box.  I was pleasantly surprised with it! My favorite item was the SIMPLE foaming face wash.  It is super soft and works perfectly in the shower.     Courage Key  Next up was the super cute Courage key.  A super neat concept.  The Giving Keys necklace is made of a key engraved with an inspirational word.  Where it until you...

Kitchen Remodel and Decor

Home
My kitchen remodel is complete!!!!  Here is a peak at the before and afters! I tore down the wall here between the kitchen and the dinning room so I could see the views of the bay while cooking. The sink and cabinets and counters are in! Getting closer!! Rocking the Viking… I went with the D3 since I am NOT a pro at all in the kitchen.  It is a great starter stove. ALL DONE!!!!! I hate this floor!!  I let the husband pick it out and let’s just say it isn’t going to make the cut.

About Me

I started Haute Beauty Guide in 2008 as a way to stay in touch with my skincare clients between appointments. At first, I only covered skincare but HBG grew with me as my life evolved— from traveling around the world, heading back to college after taking a long break, buying our first home, to getting my first gray hair! Monterey is my home and I take the lifestyle here to heart.

Books and cheese. All I need. 🤣 I’ve fully f Books and cheese. All I need. 🤣

I’ve fully fallen into the beauty of this novel. Spread over generations, the author weaves California history into the story beautifully. I love, love, love thinking about what Monterey/Salinas was like 100 or 200 years ago. If you want a story that sucks you in from the first page, hunt down this book, “In The Land Of Plenty” by  Mary Smathers.

Sunshine and picnics for us! It is almost spring a Sunshine and picnics for us! It is almost spring and our weather is so nice lately. We took this @loveevery box outside to play with our favorite @littlespoon blends. Olivia still eats them as a "smoothie". I freeze them a little to make it a slushie and she loves them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can't believe we are on the final Lovevery box! We started the subscription service a few weeks after Olivia was born and here we are on the 3-year-old box. It is crazy how fast the last three years went. This may just be Olivia's favorite box. The camper van and tent + the little people are too cute. Plus the counting pegs and box were a lot of fun. I didn't realize she could count to 10!

Pop over to stories to see how we use Littlespoon to boost Olivia's nutrition and Lovevery to boost her imagination. Plus a few discount codes.
