Rob and I had a really nice rainy weekend together, complete with several errands and a Thai lunch date on Saturday. When we have places to be but it's cold and grey out, I love nothing more than a cozy tee and a soft hat with some stretchy black pants or leggings. I added a fun pair of earrings to fancy myself up a bit, and I was ready to go!

I've been saying this every week since the end of October, but I think we might finally be done sending out save-the-dates. I'm headed to Virginia for two weeks on Thursday, so there's plenty to be done around here before I'm actually ready for my trip. Overall, it was a productive weekend. Even if there's still laundry to fold.

I've really been enjoying these earrings from my newest sponsor, Loopsway. It's sort of the perfect little shop--it's an online boutique started by a new mom with a love of fashion. Everything is unique and beautiful and less than $20! Definitely worth a look, especially with the holidays coming up. And this week, one reader will win the piece of their choice. Enter below!

Last year around the holidays, my friend Tony and I made a pact to turn 2013 into "The Year of DIY." He threw a bean-themed party with goody bags and a table full of awesome bean dishes and even made the cutest bunting for the dining room wall. I showed up with a round vanilla candle that I surrounded with cinnamon sticks and tied with a white ribbon, and then we didn't make any more crafts for the rest of the year.

This holiday season, I'm determined to make at least one or two gifts for people. I've always have a plethora of jars that has continued to grow over the years (I'm not sure if I'm actually a horder or just very environmentally concious), and I've always been a fan of a good body scrub--so I thought that I'd honor my oath to DIY and give a homemade body scrub recipe or two a try. (And, apparently, do a bit of rhyming.)

I was really excited when Bing asked me to use their new Smart Search to navigate my next online searching experience, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Have you used it? I was so pleased with how it was not only easy, but helpful.

We passed by the Windows store in the mall the other day and stopped in to do a quick Bing search on one of their new tablets. I simply typed in "DIY body scrub" and was met with a really aesthetically pleasing page of results. A row of photos in the middle of the page were helpful and expanded with a quick hover of my mouse. Bing Smart Search truly does provide a smart summary of results. You get a rich, visual summary of the most relevant information from across the web, and I'm totally going to make that Spicy Sugar Scrub (pictured above) from Whole Living. It looks like it'll be perfect for the holidays.

Have you made any great body scrubs or other homemade bath/beauty products lately?

At 25 years old, I can't say I have a whole bunch of fine lines or even any wrinkles, but there are definitely some little bitty lines around my eyes that I'm not the biggest fan of. And ever since our wedding planning began six months ago, I've been thinking a lot about my face, so I was really excited to try out

Resvology

's Youth-Activating Skincare.

They sent me a bottle of their age corrective eye cream, and I've really enjoyed using it. It's supposed to reduce wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles. It's been great on the fine lines around my eyes, and I've seen a really nice reduction to the puffiness and dark circles I sometimes have.

It's lightweight and doesn't make my eyes sting or water, which is something I've found in other eye creams. And all

Resvology

products are free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, triclosan, phthalates, and GMOs. So all in all, I don't have anything negative to say about it! I'm really glad to have incorporated it into my skincare routine and I recommend it to anyone looking to try out a new eye cream.
