Good morning! I wanted to share a few little home decor updates with you. I have said it before but honestly, changing out throw pillows can completely change a space. It’s a low cost, high impact way to give your space a fresh look. In our sitting room, I changed out a couple pillows to these Serena & Lily pom pom pillows that you all have been asking me about. I also changed out our mirror that was in here to this white mirror– it flows with the whole vibe so much more than the previous mirror we had in the space. I couldn’t be happier with these subtle changes.

I also wanted to point out this teak ladder mirror. I was unsure at first how it would work with the space since most things in the house are a white wood but this lighter wood color blends seamlessly with the whole white/coastal vibe we have going on. It’s such a unique mirror, I am so glad I decided to add it to this space.

Thank you to Serena & Lily for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own and genuine!

I am SO excited for this post! I feel like I found the best and most affordable Walmart fashion pieces for summer! They have really become one of my first stops when I am looking for reasonably-priced pieces for me and the rest of my family.

My outfit below is just perfect for summer in Maine! I feel like I rarely wear shorts and a tank top at the same time so an outfit like this is usually what you will find me in. The pink tank is easy breezy and flattering. I am wearing a small here. My jeans and sandals are both by the brand Scoop. They are a very fashionable and trendy brand that now has an affordable line at Walmart. I love that we can get Scoop pieces at a much lower price point. The sandals are true to size. They only come in whole sizes so size up if you are in between. My jeans are a size 2. Per the reviews I sized up. I think that was the right choice- they fit me perfectly in the legs and just a tiny bit roomy in the waist.

What has been your favorite Walmart purchase so far this summer? Send me the links- I am always interested to know what you are loving!

So I have using Tula’s Protect + Glow SPF for about 4 weeks now and I have to say, it was well worth the wait! The glow that it gives is UNREAL plus the added bonus that its a sunscreen is EVERYTHING. Absolutely a daily essential for me. I wanted to point out though, that this sunscreen isn’t just important for the sunny summer days we are in- it’s also important because it blocks harmful pollutants and blue light. So this sunscreen is great for the indoors as well. It is also non-comedogenic so it won’t blog your pores. This product has gone into my full year-round daily rotation! Plus as always, you can use code: MRSCOCO and you will get 15% off all Tula, all the time!

Pro tip: After applying SPF to your face, use the extra to rub on the backs of your hands. It’s easy to forget about our hands and if we aren’t careful, they can quickly show signs of sun damage as we get older.

One other thing I wanted to share was Tula’s newest launch: So Poreless Deep Exfoliating Blackhead Scrub! This product couldn’t come at a better time for me. I haven’t been able to get my monthly Dermal Infusion facials because of Corona. I count on it to suck out my pores- specifically the ones around my nose. This scrub is made with volcanic sand, pink salt and pomegranate to provide a deep exfoliation to clean out those pores! Sign me up! I will keep you updated on it but so far I am impressed with it’s thick and sandy consistency and how smooth my skin looked after I scrubbed it on the back of my hand. I will be using this tonight for sure!

Wow- where do I even begin? Times are changing and they are changing at a rapid rate. It is hard to know what to post and what not to post here. However, this is a collaboration that has been in the works for a while and to keep things a little less heavy, I thought I would go ahead and post.

Serena and Lily has been my go-to for home decor for quite some time now. Their aesthetic is coastal casual and that’s exactly the feel I am trying to incorporate into my home decor.

I have changed out 3 chairs for more natural seating. I feel it really brings a casual but more put together and polished look to the space. The first area I changed- and probably the area that had the biggest transformation is one of the corners of the bedroom. It had become a catch-all for clothes and whatnot. Just an absolute mess. I had always wanted a hanging chair and it wasn’t until recently that I had the ‘ah ha’ moment to put it in the bedroom. By just adding the one hanging rattan chair and a pillow, throw blanket, and sheepskin throw, it has now become the best little reading nook in the entire house. The chair is actually so much more comfortable than we were expecting and the leather pouf makes for easier swinging. Since it seems everyone is going to be confined to their houses for the foreseeable future, it is nice to have a little escape to read a book or just relax.

The other space I made over was our downstairs tv/living room. This room has been a major work in progress and has come a long way. The issue we were having is that the two accent chairs were far too big for the space and quite uncomfortable. By adding the Venice chairs (and cushions) the space just makes more sense now. The chairs are much more proportional plus I love that you can see through the bamboo into the other room. The chairs are also lower than the previous ones so in addition to seeing through them, you can also see over them. It doesn’t sound like a big deal but it actually makes a huge positive change for the space. I will also say, these chairs are so much more comfortable than the old ones.

Here are the before pictures:

I am so happy with both the mini makeovers. The natural seating adds a breath of much-needed fresh air to both rooms and I couldn’t love it more! Thank you to Serena and Lily for partnering with me on this post. As always, all opinions are my own and genuine.

When Tula recently launched their newest primer– I got so many questions for a comparison with their existing blurring primer. I am hoping this post will answer all of your questions!

The newest primer is for brightening and smoothing, versus the original primer which was for blurring out imperfections. Both are fantastic but very different. Both are also non-comedogenic meaning they won’t clog your pores.

The newbie has no pigment. It goes on clear and instantly gives your skin a cooling sensation that I love. It creates a very smooth canvas to apply your makeup to. I also find it to be quite hydrating which is nice. It is a thicker consistency than the blurring primer and comes in a 1.4 oz tub for $34- or $28 when you use code MRSCOCO at checkout.

The blurring primer gives your skin pigment. It goes on white but blends to give a smooth finish. This primer is build-able so if you want more coverage, you can add another layer. What is good about this primer is that if you are very minimal with your makeup, this can be your first and last step since it does give some coverage. It is a thinner consistency than the first primer and comes in a 1 oz tube for $34- or $28 with code MRSCOCO.

Lastly- I know this product is not a primer but it is absolutely the best Tula product ever, hands down. Their glow and get it eye balm is such a game-changer and it lasts FOREVER. I am not kidding when I say I keep one in my bathroom, one in my gym bag and one in my purse. It gives the most amazing cooling effect to the under eye and instantly brightens with the illumination it leaves behind. The price is $28 or $23 with code MRSCOCO.

Again, I hope this post was helpful! Feel free to reach out with any questions you have regarding Tula!
