Hello friends and happy July! I hope you are enjoying the summer and have a great month. 😎
I'm joining Amy from the blog, Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa, for her Currently link-up. It's held on the first Wednesday of each month.
This month, we are sharing: Sparkling, Grilling/Cooking, Heating Up, Using, and Celebrating.
SPARKLING: The sky will sparkle this weekend with fireworks for the 4th of July.
GRILLING/COOKING: We will be grilling steaks for our 4th of July BBQ. We've already grilled hot dogs and cheeseburgers for a few meals this summer. I love our little BBQ's and not having to use the oven.
I love having corn on the cob with our BBQ's. I love getting corn from a farm stand because it tastes so sweet and fresh.
One night, we decided not to use any buns with our cheeseburgers to keep the meal low-carb. I made chickpea and tuna salad, and we also had olives with feta cheese on the side.
HEATING UP: The weather will be heating up this week with a heat wave here. I will mostly be staying inside in the air conditioning to stay cool. I will be making sure to water my garden, flowers, and herbs every day this week.
USING: I've been using some of these beauty products lately:
I've been using Trader Joe's daily facial sunscreen SPF 40 on my face and neck every day for the summer. I love this product, and it glides on clear. It's supposed to be a dupe for Supergoop.
I've been using this Essence mascara in the color black brown. I usually use black mascara, but this is a nice change for the summer.
I always use this NYX retractable eyeliner in the color Olive every day. I can no longer get this eyeliner at Ulta, so I order it from Amazon. :(
I've been using this Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer #121
I've been using this concealer for years, and I love the way it works by concealing my dark circles and other spots on my face.
CELEBRATING: We will be celebrating the 4th of July this weekend. My husband and I will have a BBQ and then watch the fireworks on TV. It will be nice and quiet.
Wishing you a wonderful 4th of July! What will you be doing for the 4th of July?
What is currently new with you?

That burger meal looks delish. Who needs a bun!? It is looking really hot for the rest of the week here too. I'm looking forward to a quiet 4th as well. We'll go to our old hometown parade in the morning but after that we don't have any plans. That eyeliner looks good. I need to check it out. I hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteYeah we definitely will be trying to stick to mostly air conditioning this week too. Though we do have a cookout at the lake on Saturday with my husband's whole family so I'll have to suck it up and be outside then.
ReplyDeleteBurgers without buns is great sometimes. I like to order the protein style burger from In & Out. It is a burger wrapped with lettuce. Summer is great for grilling. We will most likely grill a tri-tip steak and corn on the cob. Farm fresh produce always tastes better. Enjoy your quiet evening.
