Hi friends! Happy Sunday to ya!
I hope you guys are having an amazing weekend so far. Yesterday was definitely one for the books around these parts, and while I wish I could say more, I’m afraid mum’s the word for now. I’ll give you a hint though…
… and let you fill in the rest on your own 😉 So yeah. It’s Sunday. The sun is… well… not shining, but the birds are singing and I have a feeling it’s going to be a pretty good, albeit rainy, day. That being the case, and because my head is still up in the clouds, I wanted today’s post to be a little on the lighter side, and what better way to do that than with a tag.
I’ve been seeing this ‘colors of the rainbow’ tag floating around YouTube lately, and figured it would be perfect for today. What you do is list off all the colors of the rainbow, and then include some of your favorite things from each color. Since most of my favorite things are either food or beauty related, I’ll be doing one of each for all the colors. Aaaaaaaand go…
. – . – . – .
RED… Apples // Lipstick (Cover Girl Lip Perfection in Hot)
ORANGE… Oranges // Baby shampoo (for makeup brush cleaning)
YELLOW… Bananas // Maybelline Colossal Volum’ mascara
GREEN… Starbucks 😉 // Simple facial cleansing wipes
BLUE… Oikos plain Greek yogurt // St. Tropez self tanner
INDIGO… Blueberries // … aaaand nothing 😯
VIOLET… Synergy grape kombucha // Urban Decay makeup setting spray
PINK… (just because!!!) Watermelon // Lush’s Honey Trap lip balm
. – . – . – .
What’s your favorite color? Red.
Pick a color or two (or the whole rainbow!) and share your favorites!
This is a cute post idea. I like anything involving rainbows and especially the colors in food.
My favorite color is green, and I’d have to go with salads because I have so much lettuce in my fridge as I type this, due to my farmers market finds and my first CSA share. I better like my greens or I’d be in trouble. I’ve gotten pretty skilled in the art of salad making though as a result of often having an overwhelming amount of greens. Today will be a kale smoothie for first breakfast and a spinach salad with hardboiled eggs, cheddar cheese, and Tuscan dressing for lunch. Along with a side of whatever else I end up packing. Speaking of which….I need to get ready for work.
Aww, how cute! I might have to steal this sometime in the future! And omg, omg, OMG!!! You got flowers!! AND THEY’RE GORGEOUS!!! Yay!!! 😀 😀 😀
This is such a cool post — I love the idea of contrasting food with cosmetics! (They’re two of my favorite things, so I’m totally diggin’ everything in this post.) 🙂 I had no idea baby shampoo could be used to clean makeup brushes, but that’s a) brilliant, and b) good to know.
Hope your week is going well!
This may make me sound like such a girl, but my favorite color is pink (especially hot pink!) followed closely by orange. When I was in middle school, though, I was so against anything pink or girly, so I figure I’m making up for that now 😀
I LOVE Maybelline Mascara, but I’ve never tried that kind before. I love their lengthening mascaras, especially Illegal Length. I just love that they work so well but aren’t super expensive!
Pink and orange make such an awesome color combo! That’s like the epitome of spring and summer right there. And definitely give Collosal a try if you get the chance! I’ve actually had people ask me if I was wearing false lashes on a few different occasions, so I’ll take that as a good sign 😀
what a fun post! 🙂 my favorite color is blueish-teal, and that’s the color of my yoga mat. seeing my favorite color = automatic calmness 😉
I love this post!! Red is one of my favorites too and I would definitely go with apples! Watermelon also totally deserves to be included as does pink!
Such a fun idea for a post! And mum’s the word eh? You definitely owe us an explanation sooner rather than later! 🙂
Those flowers are beautiful! My favorite colors are blue and green! Blue for blueberries and green bell peppers.
Cute post idea! Of course, I love the beauty products. Also, have you tried red lips? I have yet to officially try them but really want to. On another note- face wipe removers are the best. I haven’t used that brand though. Have a great week and can’t wait to hear about your surprise! 😀
Yep! I wear red lips on occasion. I was really hesitant about trying them out at first, but as long as you get a shade of red that matches your skin tone, they can end up looking all sorts of fabulous.
Ohhh! I can’t wait to hear more about the flowers and where they came from!
I love purple; the Garmin Forerunner 10 (which I don’t own but wish I did) and Elle Some Like it Lilac nail polish. Again, I don’t own it, but I wish I did!
Oh – I love the flowers and can’t wait to hear more!! 🙂
Don’t you LOVE LUSH!? I die every single time I step into their stores. I’ll go with white – egg whites, my new car, and the Marilyn LUSH hair mask. I used it for the first time last night and it’s amazing!
Oooo, I can’t wait to hear about it! The suspense is killing me! 😉
That grape kombucha looks delicious! I’ve tried looking for them (I’ve gone to waayyy too many grocery stores) but I can’t seem to find that flavor. I wonder if its just a Canadian thing? 🙁
My favorite color? Gosh, I’m not sure…a toss-up between periwinkle, turquoise, and purple!
Purple: grapes, my running jacket, Passionberry Bliss Kombucha (GT Synergy), and really thick purple magic markers!
I’ve heard a few people say that they can’t find grape kombucha down in the States, so it might just be a Canadian thing. But you guys have tonnes of flavors that we don’t, so don’t feel too bad 😛
I love this post! Beautiful flowers. Can’t wait to hear the story behind them 🙂
Those flowers are gorgeous! I bet some hottie from Starbucks sent them to you 🙂
My favorite color is black, but for fun I’ll do my second favorite color of red. Red is for strawberries and plump red lips!
Hehe no, not Starbucks this time. And my favorite color is black as well, but black food means it’s either burnt or liquorice… which is no good 😳
This is such a fun post! If you took all these pictures than I am so jealous of your skills!
