5 Must Haves from Lacey (& Hubs Shares, Too!)

(&

Meet Lacey. I am beyond words excited to introduce you to her. Thanks to the powers of Facebook, I am almost positive I can declare her my oldest friend! How cool is that?? I moved around growing up so don't have many long-time friends yet Lacey's someone I always thought about.

We were middle schools pals here in Florida and she is the most sweet, genuine, good hearted person you'll ever meet. And, while I haven't seen her in person in at least 15 years, I still remember her having a laugh that made you smile. Heck, just her smile does that! I feel so fortunate to have met when I was younger and I'm thrilled to reconnect. Especially since we now have kiddies just a few months apart... those little ones are destined for a playdate!

Love Lacey's must haves. Have to admit that she sent me about 10 and forced me to narrow them down (hard work!). HYSTERICAL SIDE NOTE: When her husband asked what she was working on, he created his own awesome top five list; so classic guy I love it! ANSWER: Food, water, shelter, TV, comfy chair and sex! LOL. Dying. So awesome.

Ok, now that I've written a novel, please take a few more moments to read Lacey's 5 must haves, in her words...

Stud Earrings For Your Wallet

I know crazy right, but I’ve needed these more than a few times.  You’re in a hurry in the morning and realize only when you look in the rear view mirror half way to work that you forgot earrings. Doh!  This is my back up pair of earrings.  They hold up great in my wallet and don’t take up much room!  I have a pair of 10mm silver ball stud earrings.  Love them!!

TAGG tip: LOVE this earrings set from Target: silver ball stud earrings and faux diamonds, just $14.99!

Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Eyeliner

I love the soft look of pencil liner but I can’t stand that it disappears and is gone by the end of the day. I’ve tried liquid liners but I really don’t like how defined the line is, too dark and harsh. I need the best of both worlds something that has a smudge to it but great staying power… This is it!
So easy to apply (brush is included) and lasts all day! LOVE IT!! $7.99
(Bobbi Brown sells a similar liner but this one works just as great and a fraction of the cost).

Crystal Light To Go Packs

I struggle to drink my daily quota of water. Because water is just so bland to me, I have to perk up my water with Crystal Light (Raspberry Lemonade) to go packs. I always have one or two in my purse when I need a pick me up from my boring water.

 

Gold Bond Ultimate Healing (Aloe) Lotion

Large bottles, medium tubes and small travel tubes! Travel tube in my purse, a medium tube in my office and car and large bottle at home.  This stuff  is the best.  It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, it’s moisturizing and quickly absorbs into the skin without being greasy!
TAGG tip: She's right! I  know, a little strange because Gold Bond was associated with other less glamorous things, but this lotion is awesome. When my hands were crazy dry last year due to meds a nurse could not stop raving about this; I tested and they're right.

 

Clear makeup bag for all of my loose items

There is nothing worse than looking for your lipstick at the bottom of your purse, pulling out everything out except for the one thing you need!  I put all of my loose cosmetics in this little bag: lotion, lipstick, ibuprofen, compact, lip gloss etc. Everything is always in it's place and is easy to find in the bag because the bag is clear!! I got mine for $3 at Wal-Mart.  SCORE!
