monday! monday! monday!

[Doesn't that title sound like one of those annoying car ads?  "No money down!  No interest!  No credit check required!  One day only!  Monday!  Monday!  Monday!".  Okay, so maybe I've been watching a little too much tv.  Anyhoo....that really had no bearing on this post whatsoever.  Just threw it in for kicks.  Aaaaand....you're welcome.]

So, stop the presses people.  Another post!!  What the?  You are NOT seeing things.  This is legit.   

Welp.  It's Monday.  (as if you needed another reminder)  With Monday being the bane of most people's existence, I've decided to give it the fair shake and look on the bright side of things.  To be honest with you I feel a little sorry for Monday.  No one looks forward to it.  They avoid it like the plague; tiptoeing around on Sunday in hopes that Monday will forget to show up and it can be Sunday forrrrrevvvverrrr!!!  I mean, for real, it's the buzz kill of the weekend.  Everyone LOVES Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but as soon as Monday comes around everyone is like "O brother.  It's Monday again.  I hate Monday.  I wish it were Friday.  I loooove Friday.  TGIF!"  No one ever says TGIM!  Aww...poor Monday.  Well get off your pity pot Monday, it's your time to shine!

Introducing...Makeover Mondays!  Who doesn't love a good makeover, right?  I'm a huge fan of TLC's What Not to Wear and I'm always blown away by the transformation.  A lot of time it's not only the clothes, hair, and makeup that changes, but something happens internally as well.  Now if you think I'm going to be doing TLC-like makeovers on here, you're on the wrong blog.  I'm talking about making over our Mondays.  I'll be posting fun tips and products that make life sweet and make Mondays just a little more enjoyable.  Sometimes the stuff I post will be fluffy and shallow, I know.  But other times I may dig a little deeper with you.  Who knows, maybe you'll even start to (dare I say it?) like Mondays.  :)  So without further hoopla, here's the first the first installment of Makeover Mondays.  Enjoy!

5 Things to Perk Up Your Monday

1.   The Keurig B70.  This little gem has been a lifesaver on groggy mornings.  I got it at a Black Friday sale last year.  Love it!  Coffee, tea, hot cocoa, chai lattes, iced drinks....this thing does it all!

And don't forget the coffee that goes in it!  Hawaiian Hazelnut is one of my favorites right now.

2.  Nothing perks up your face like a good blush, especially on the apples of your cheeks.  One of my all time favorites is made by NARS.  I won't list the shade, because it's name is not totally PC.  Whoops.  But it's the "peachy pink with shimmer" one.  You can find it at any Sephora store or at sephora.com.

3.  Perk up your hair with a little volume!!  Two products I love are from Aveda; Phomillient and Pure Abundance Hair Potion.  I just used the HP over the weekend and it looked like I had a little bump-it on my head.  Amazing stuff!!

4.  Blackberries!  Perk up your breakfast, lunch, or dinner with these little guys.  I have fallen head over heels for them all over again!  So good and so good for you!

5.  Perk up your pillows & sheets before you go to bed!  This pillow spray by Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy was given to me by a friend years ago and I'm still using it.  It smells amazing!!  {this might be something to use Sunday night for a good night's sleep, so you'll be perkier on Monday ;)}

And there you have it.  5 little things that can perk up and makeover your Monday.  Now go out and show a little love to Monday....by loving those around you!  Blessings!
