Riding with nannie on the carousel! Jack was a little bit afraid at first but quickly started to love it! Every time he came around to the spot we were all standing at, he'd get excited and start shaking and waving to us.

Then we went to ride on the big orange balloon and his little shoe fell off right before we took off! It was so funny and cute just sitting there, I had to take a picture.

Loved the view from the top! Such a cute little place!

Handsome Jack with his pop-pop waiting to eat some yummy mexican food!

It just so happen to be my dads 50th birthday while we were there and it was such a great day! I LOVE my dad so much.

My in-laws have the prettiest backyard/pool/hot tub. It was so nice to set the hot tub at a good temperature and let Jack play in it.

So it turns out that Jack actually thinks sand is yummy! Like...what!!!?? He kept trying to sneak it in his mouth and it was everywhere! Silly baby!

Jack and uncle bailey watching the waves.

Waiting in line for Small World! Jack sat with his mouth wide open during the whole ride, in awe of all of the songs and dolls. He LOVED it.

My mom is the cutest ever!!!!

How handsome are my guys???? (also, Kody is a definite #dilfofdisneyland)

Juice break while everyone else went on the scary rides!

One day we rented bikes in San Clemente and rode them on a long path by the beach. So fun!

Tatcha Camellia Gold Spun Lip Balm

First off is this beautiful little lip balm. I know it is a little bit pricey (I mean, it has actual gold pieces in it) but if you're looking for something that will last a loooong time and make your lips super smooth, this is what I'd recommend. I like to keep this in my diaper bag and use it on-the-go over lipstick or just alone!






Crabtree & Evelyn Pomegranate + Argan Oil

When I first got this I used it on the ends of my hair and it worked great. Now I have begun using it everywhere! Face, arms, legs, all of it. It smells AMAZING.





Neutrogena Hydroboost Hydrating Cleansing Gel

This is my second bottle and it is great when you want a clean face but also don't want to dry it out!

For the past couple of years (yes, YEARS) I have been in the market for a personal microdermabrasion tool. I have watched so many YouTube videos and different online tutorials and after such a long time, I finally got my hands on one!

This is the Microdermabrasion Kit from Microglo. It comes in this cute, white box which includes a how-to pamphlet, the device itself, five interchangeable heads, a USB charger and a baggie with a bunch of filters.





 I started using the device about a month ago and since that time have noticed a huge difference in the way my face feels overall. Microdermabrasion is a process that removes the outer layer of skin (dead skin cells, makeup buildup, oil, etc) and reveals a much healthier, fresher layer of skin! It is a verrrrry pricey spa treatment that I can now do at home when I want to pretend I'm at the spa and enjoy some "me" time!

It comes with 5 different device heads that differ in roughness. I find that the #2 suits my skin best! Before doing any kind of microdermabrasion, I make sure allllll of my makeup is off my face. I also remove any moisturizer and also prefer to use a light exfoliating cleanser to make sure my skin is 100% clean. I then pat dry with a towel and start the process. The Migroglo has four different suctioning strength settings that can be easily changed by pressing the main button. I use the second setting for most of my face and occasionally use the third setting for more clogged areas like around my nose.

At first I used the product 2x/in one week and have since switched to using it once about every 10 days or so. My serums, moisturizers and makeup apply MUCH smoother and I love it so much!! I even did a YouTube video talking about it in more detail.

If you're interested in grabbing a Microglo, use code IVYLAUREN on their website for 20% off and let me know if you have any questions at all!
