1. For those of you who read my post on Monday…LOOK WHAT I FOUND AT TARGET THIS WEEK!!
You guys, I’m pretty sure I started dancing in front of the cooler. They’re sooooo good.
2. Okay, maybe I’m one of the few out there, but I just do not understanding the whole juicing thing. I feel like I’m seeing it everywhere right now on social media…is it a new year’s thing? I don’t understand spending the money on a huge machine that takes up a crap ton of space. I don’t understand the appeal of drinking celery. I guess I’d rather get the satisfaction of eating it…likely with peanut butter. I mean, don’t get me wrong…I totally get that juicing has some major benefits…but I guess the juicing life is just not for me.
3. I totally did not realize that Schwan’s Food Delivery (aka, what we used to refer to as “the Schwan man” was still a thing?! I saw this advertisement mixed in with the coupons this past week, and was so surprised!
Did anyone else get deliveries from the Schwann man growing up? We used to go crazy for the orange push-up pops!!
4. Beautycounter is having a pretty sweet deal right now, so I have to give you guys a heads up. Now through January 24th, you’ll receive a FREE GIFT of your choice (choose from our Travel Size Overnight Resurfacing Peel, Cleansing Balm, or #3 Balancing and Charcoal Mask!) when you purchase one of our 4-Step Regimens. You can check them all out here!! PLUS, you always receive a 10% discount when you purchase a full regimen.
Not knowing your skin type can lead to a not so pretty complexion, and it’s important to remember that just because something works for someone else, doesn’t mean it’s the best option for YOU! So what’s the best way to find out? Take the Skincare Quiz Here to see what regimen is right for you based on your skin and skincare needs.
Each regimen should last you about 3-6 months, and as a general rule of thumb…
- Countermatch Regimen –> Best for Normal Skin and/or Dry Skin. Hydrates skin, boosts radiance, adapts to skin’s needs.
- Rejuvenating Regimen –> Best for Dry & Mature Skin. Keeps skin looking youthful, replenishes skin, improves radiance
- Countercontrol Regimen –> Best for Oily / Blemish-prone. Mattifies skin, clears breakouts, purifies pores, balances skin
For the duration of the deal (now through January 24th) I’m also throwing in a FREE lip gloss to anyone who places an order of $125+ (does NOT have to be a regimen – can mix and match with skin care and/or makeup — our Get the Look Kits are incredible!). Just email me after you place your order (sweettoothcourtney at gmail dot com) to let me know you want to take advantage of the special! I am ALWAYS more than happy to help answer any questions you might have, so please feel free to reach out!!
5. The weather has not been all that conducive to playing outside this past week, so I’ve had to resort to some after-school bubble baths.
Honestly, I really dislike giving them baths together these days (they usually go separate now, and Lucas is mostly graduated to the shower at this point) because they make SUCH a mess of the bathroom. BUT, they usually aren’t fighting, they’re not complaining of boredom, and they have a good time…so I grab a huge pile of bath towels and just suck it up. ; ) #68daysuntilspring
6. I was so excited to hear some of the feedback from Meg’s guest post on Tuesday – I’m so glad you guys loved it!! I’ll be sharing the second installation next week, so stay tuned!
7. I asked for (and received…thanks mom & dad!) these makeup brushes for Christmas, and I must say…they. are. awesome. (there’s also a 10% coupon, too!). Suuuuper soft, and do such a great job of blending.
I grabbed this little organizer from HomeGoods earlier just so I could have them all on display and at the ready in the morning (instead of sprawled out all over our bathroom vanity…sorry ’bout that, Jay…).
Alright, friends, that’s all I’ve got for today! I hope you all have a Fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead, and I’ll catch ya next week! <3

I juiced what was in our crisper the other day – lettuce, kale, radish, onion, celery, orange, Apple, and a tennis ball. I gave it to my man for his morning breakfast but accidentally gave him the fat jar from bacon and meat. He was not happy for the rest of brunch!
Mel says
No respectable beer drinker drinks shandys!!! Cmon Courtney you’re better than this
Courtney says
Hahaha!! Hey, I’m equal opportunity as long as it tastes good! ;)
Michelle says
I have delivery by the Schwan man every two weeks. They have a lot of great stuff. They even have your orange push ups. You can get on line and see their catalog items. They have the best Key Lime Pie, a little pricey but oh so good.
Courtney says
That’s awesome!!! I had no idea they were even still around! :)
Molly says
Let me know if you order and what’s good! I’d like to try them out :)
Fiona MacDonald says
Oh man juicing especially the celery juice is ever where right now! Which kind of makes me laugh because I’m sure celery juice benefits have been around for a while so why now? I remember when my best friend got a juicer and I just felt like it was such a waste of produce, all that pulp you’ll pretend to save then end up throwing out and for what ? A cup of juice, I think if I hop on trying any kind of juice, I’ll buy it from those fancy puree juice stores..lol. The weather here has been either super cold or oddly warm but we did manage to make a skating rink in the back yard…oh so Canadian of us, and Sully has been loving it so can’t be mad at the weather now lol
Lindsay says
I loved the Schwan’s delivery service when I was growing up. I haven’t seen one in years BUT I will take a look and see if it’s available still because there were definitely some things that I’d like to order again. You should order and do a review! :)
Alyssa Stirling says
I’ve juiced in the past and you can make them taste good but it can get expensive because it takes a lot of produce to get the right amount of juice.
I also was crazy for the orange push pops, especially since it was a treat at Grandma’s house!
