Real Life with Vintage Jodie: February Favorites

Real Life with Vintage Jodie - by Real Pretend Vintage

At the risk of everyone rushing out and buying up all my most favorite things, I am going to share some of  my current favorites with all y’all. (I can say that because I once had a roommate from Texas.) Now all of these things are budget friendly because, sheesh people, I am not rolling in money. (See the Cotton Floozy’s “Bridesmaids” inspired sampler.)

1. The Cotton Floozy’s samplers. I personally own this one. And although I am generally in a good mood, I am NOT a morning person. I keep this sampler in my bathroom and when I get dressed each day it puts me in a good mood, and then I am ready for the day.

2. Jergens “Skin Smoothing” lotion. This stuff is great and smells good too. If you live in Utah you need to have a good stash of lotion. It also contains tiny blue beads my kids call, magic beads. As you spread the lotion, the beads dissolve and evidently have healing powers beyond that of regular lotion.

3. My most recent find, the Maybelline Falsies mascara. Now this is for regular people with their natural lashes. It is supposed to make your lashes look like false ones. I don’t know if I achieved that look, but with blond eyelashes like mine, anything is an improvement. This is as close to the current false eyelash fad as I am going to get. Maintenance on those false lashes is pretty intense from what I understand, so those will never work out for me.

4. Lorna Doone. How I love the shortbread cookies. Mmm.

5. Workout tops from Kohl’s. I picked up this totally amazing top for $12.00. Do you know what a good deal that is?

6. I received these at the neighborhood ladies Christmas ornament exchange. I am so in love with them. They are made of a thin wood and have real iron keys on them. I love these and they are going to be part of my regular decor. I have no idea where they came from, but they are mine now!

Enjoy and leave at least one on the shelf for me. Because it is that annoying time of the year when the stores like to do Inventory and no one re-stocks their shelves until March!
