Happy Tuesday friends and happy First Day of Spring! Michigan is seeing a little sunshine and a little more warmth than we have in the past few weeks. In fact, Sunday we say 55 degrees! So of course you know I went for a walk outside with my friend and her cute baby boy (see him here on Instagram).
This week I am at training for work all week so my posts will likely be brief when I stop in to chat with you all. Before I get too far in to the post, look how cute this picture is:
Last week Justin's mom took us girls to see Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella and it was my niece's first time going to see a musical. It was so much fun seeing Cinderella and watching my niece see her live for the first time. If you haven't checked out Cinderella before, I would highly recommend checking it out. The costuming and set design are fantastic!
This time last year I shared 25 Things to do this Spring on the blog and this year I plan to repeat some of those fun ideas because they were so much fun! This coming weekend we are having an Easter Egg hunt in our subdivision and JP and McKenna are planning to come join in the fun. I'm also hoping to decorate eggs while the kids are at the house because I love decorating Easter Eggs.
I'm also planning to get a few cute decorations to put up around the house this coming weekend. I already have my Hello Spring sign up, but I think I'd like to add a few more things to my collection. I bet Home Goods or Target would have some fun/cute ideas for decorations.
Well that's all for today! I hope you have a wonderful first day of Spring.

Broadway legend Andrew Lloyd Webber’s high-octane Broadway and West End hit School of Rock – The Musical is coming to Detroit’s Fisher Theatre, April 10-22, 2018.

School of Rock – The Musical is based on the smash hit 2003 film of the same, featuring music from the movie, as well as an original score by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Glenn Slater, a book byJulian Fellowes, choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter and direction by Laurence Connor.
School of Rock – The Musical opened on Broadway to rave reviews on Sunday, December 6, 2015. This Ben Brantley New York Times ‘Critics’ Pick’ “is an inspiring jolt of energy and mad skillz,” raves Jesse Oxfeld of Entertainment Weekly. And in his four-star Critics’ Pick review, Time Out’s David Cote proclaimed, “School’s IN – forever!” School of Rock – The Musical was nominated for four 2016 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score (Lloyd Webber and Slater), Best Book (Fellowes), and Best Leading Actor in a Musical (Alex Brightman).

Based on the hit film, School of Rock – The Musical is a hilarious new musical that follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. While teaching these pintsized prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child within.
School of Rock – The Musical features scenic and costume design by Anna Louizos, lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Mick Potter and music supervision by John Rigby.
School of Rock — The Musical is produced on Broadway by Andrew Lloyd Webber for The Really Useful Group, Warner Music Group & Access Industries, The Shubert Organization and The Nederlander Organization. Nina Lannan and Madeleine Lloyd Webber serve as Executive Producers.

Disclaimer: I received these face masks for free from Masked Beauty Skincare in exchange for an honest review. All views and opinions are my own and not those of Masked Beauty Skincare.
Hello friends! I hope you are having a wonderful week so far! Today I wanted to share a little bit about Masked Beauty Skincare's NEW Luxury Face Masks! If you are anything like me, skin care is a bit baffling. I know I am supposed to moisturize, exfoliate, use sunscreen, etc., but I honestly feel like there is so many options out there that I often don't know where to begin.
Thankfully, I had the opportunity to try Masked Beauty Skincare's new luxury face masks. When it comes to exfoliating, I am not great about it. Of course, my lack of exfoliation ends up with me getting dry and flaky skin on my face (especially around my nose and eyebrows) which does not always look great under makeup. So when these two wonderful tubs came in the mail, I was super excited!
Masked Beauty Skincare sent me both the Coffee and Chocolate Facial Mask and the Purifying Charcoal and Diamond Mask along with a handy silicone applicator. For purposes of this review, I focused on the Coffee and Chocolate Mask first and will likely be sharing a review of the Charcoal and Diamond Mask on Instagram at a later date.
Before trying the mask, I spent a few minutes washing my face and removing my makeup so my skin would be fresh for the mask. Applying the mask was super simple with the silicone brush. All you have to do is take a little bit of the mask from the tub and put it on your face. The bottle recommends starting in the middle of your face and working your way outward so I started at my nose/forehead then made my way outward toward my ears and jawline.
The mask itself was a little goopy-er than I was anticipating, but it felt nice on the skin. I will say even with a stuffy nose (I had bronchitis last week), I could clearly smell the coffee and the chocolate on my skin. Once you cover your face, you are to wait five to ten minutes before removing the mask with warm water.
I honestly felt like I had put a delicious mixture of chocolate and coffee on my face - it felt so nice and soft on my skin and unlike other masks, it did not get stiff as it set. I would like to point out that it did burn my upper lip and nose a little bit when on, but my skin was raw from blowing my nose all week.
Once the mask had set for the allotted time, I gently removed it with a towel and warm water. The removal process was just as easy as the application and took me less than a minute to take it all off. Typically I am not a big fan of masks that are chunky, but the coffee pieces did not linger like some of the other masks I've tried.
So how did my skin feel?
Because I have sensitive skin, my skin turned red at the removal of the mask - I was not in pain, that is just how my skin looks when exfoliated (if you think this is red, you should see my eyebrows after a wax!). Not only did my skin feel sooooo soft after the mask, it felt very fresh and it smelled amazing! There is nothing more delicious than coffee and chocolate and I was able to smell it for several hours after I removed the mask.
The best part about the mask is I felt the effects from the exfoliation for several days after use. I was a bit worried the skin on my lip/nose area would be agitated after the mask, but the exact opposite happened. I think the caffeine from the chocolate and the coffee gave my skin a bit of a boost to help it heal after I beat it up all week.
So that is my review of Masked Beauty Skincare's New Face Masks! Thinking about getting one for yourself? You should! These masks are $7.99 retail price and can be found at stores like Albertsons, Safeway, Hy-Vee, Meijer, Marc's, Kinney Drugs and Weis. To get the silicone applicator, you would need to go to Rite Aid Drugstores to find one! These are easy and could be used for more than just the application of a face mask!
