March Favorites | Beauty Edition

April 13, 2016

Introducing the new series, Monthly Favorites!! I'm hoping to roll this out every month (at the beginning) & it will feature something different (or same same)! So last month I bought some new products that I have been obsessed with. Since it's well known that I'm a girly girl through and through I figured I'd share them with you here! In case you're looking for something new to try! 

First up, my beloved Soap & Glory! 

Clean On Me - Creamy & Clarifying Shower Gel by Soap & Glory - Heavenly. That's the one word that comes to mind when I want to describe this body wash. The sent is intoxicating. A clean sent with a hint of citrus & it's hands down my favorite thing in my shower. 

The Righteous Butter Body Lotion - Soap & Glory -  Oh em gee. I slather this on the second I get out of the shower and the scent sticks around for forever. It's creamy but not oily & quickily soaks into the skin. I hate lotions that stick around forever (you know the kind that you wipe your hands on your pants trying to get it off). Plus it has the same "Pink" sent as the body wash! 

I purchased both of these products at my local Ulta but it took forever to get my hands on them. Whenever I went they were always both sold out! Then I got lucky! :) 

I have pretty dry skin (think dry patches mid winter) and my skin is super sensitive. I'm talking a lot of gentle products intended for "sensitive skin" irritate me. It's annoying. Anyway, I was struggling with super dry skin and my normal moisturizer was irritating the area around my eyes. In a panic 10:45 PM Target run, wandering around the isles needing skin love I found this. Neutrogena Hyrdo Boost Gel Cream! It's not super creamy in consistency but almost water (& you guessed it, gel like). It quickly soaks in and leaves my skin feeling happy and refreshed.

Garnier Micellar Cleaning Water - I despise washing my face. There, I said it. It's tedious, annoying, I end up getting water everywhere, and makeup get's in my hair (think Taylor Swift Blank Space) . I'm kind of a hot mess. Enter Micellar Water. It's like a mystical magical unicorn. It's not oily at all which I dislike in makeup removers. I just shlup some on a cotton swab and get to work on my eyes. It does a pretty dang good job! I also use it on a q-tip to clean up mascara or random mishaps when putting on makeup! 

Not Your Mothers {Clean Freak Dry Shampoo} - Another thing I dislike doing? Washing my hair. So for the days that I skip the hair washing (or have to run errands after a work & don't have time to shower.. Sorrrry) I reach for this stuff. I was a loyal user of Dove Dry Shampoo for the longest time but grabbed this stuff last month.. I'm obsessed. The smell is amazing, it doesn't turn my roots white, and it works wonderfully! 

Well! There is my first edition of Monthly Favorites! Is this something you like? Is it silly? If you enjoyed this article hit the little "like" at the bottom of this post to give me some feedback! Wee!

hi. I’m caitlin!

I like exclamation points, sleeping for more then 10 hours, and doughnuts! I specialize in natural light wedding and engagement photography that's full of light, color, and vibrance! I love being with my couples for every step to I do. So grab a cup of coffee (or my favorite, peach tea!) and take a look around. 

I am based out of lovely Madison, Wisconsin. I do love airplanes & my car (hello singing session!) so I am available for travel!

Okay okay okay. Who is this dog and where did my puppy go?! Almost 13 weeks old & pushing 20 pounds. He also put all his toys that look like food in the kitchen. Prodigy? I think yes.
..
But also eats pebbles. So it’s a toss up 🤷🏼‍♀️

Those nosearooskie snugs.. Caynay Couples ALWAYS powering through even when it's feeding time for the mosquitos and it's hot 👊🏻
Because it's totally normal to stand nose-to-nose in a field. You do that all the time right? Right 😍
This morning I posted Libby's bouquet in all it's vibrant glory but honestly, I just HAD to share this one too. Her & Scott's wedding is up on the blog today and it's a real BEAUTY. #libbyandlutomadinlove

Sup ma. Just chillin’ 🐶 This was taken a couple of weeks ago now. He’s pretty much doubled in size 😭 #itsdenverdood
It took me a solid 15 minutes to figure out which sneak image to share. Truth be told, I’m OBSESSED with about 20 images at just a quick glance. I’m going to warn you all now, their blog post will likely be massive. I think I’m okay with that 😍 #libbyandlutomadinlove
Those bridal details though 😍

Sarah & Ted are two people who I’m SO fortunate to get to work with. Their joyful, love-filled, relaxed personalities are exactly why I love my job. Their engagement session is up on the blog today! ♥️

Their joyful, love-filled, relaxed personalities are exactly why I love my job. Their engagement session is up on the blog today! ♥️ I love summer, as much as the next person. But this humid hotness? Not a fan 🙅🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Its making me wish for a cold winters day ⛄️ I’ll be honest, the last month without Otto has been really damn hard. 30 days ago today I lost my best bud and honestly, it hurts just as much today as it did then. In some ways it feels like ages ago but in others, the pain is still so unbelievably real.
..
Maybe it’s because it happened so quickly and so unexpectedly. If I would have known that our walk that morning would have been our last, I would have done anything to keep him here with me.
..
Then I feel guilty. SO guilty. I have this beautiful new baby who I adore. Who helps patch the hole in my heart so how could I be so sad? How can I sit here and feel immense pain when I have Denver to love?
..
Grief is an emotion I’m still learning to navigate. It’s sneaky, forceful, and flooding.
..
If you’re still reading, thank you. I try to keep my corner of the internet pretty happy-go-lucky but writing is SO therapeutic to me. I know I’m a pretty private gal, but I appreciate you listening ♥️ #ottothebulliebestie Photographing couples who completely adore each other is one of my  favorite things about this job. Sarah & Ted are two people who truly share something special. The way they cuddle in. The way they look at each other. Our night together was nothing short of magical & I can’t wait to share more!! They met at Winona University in Minnesota. Set between two lakes and the Mississippi is where their love story started. Emily and Craig's engagement session on those same bluffs is on the blog today. Go check them out will ya ;) Oh my goodness. Yesterday evening was such a dream. I mean, would you look at that couple & backdrop?! I may have sang the Jurassic Park theme song a few times but I was DEFINITELY doing a happy dance over this light 😍 I just can't decide what I love more. These leafy relaxed bouquets or that color bridesmaid dress. All the heart eyes for this shot. I'm going to apologize now for the amount of times Jamie & Joe's wedding will be on the gram ;) When I first started shooting weddings there was things that I didn't think were necessary. Some of the things that I didn't, I'm too embarrassed to admit BUT one thing that I quickly realized was invaluable? Wedding Planners & Day-Of Coordinators.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enter @cherrybevents. Sarah and Andrea are amazing at what they do and bring such an energy and joy to their work. It was SO fun getting to work with them a couple of weeks ago. The shot above if their creation 😍 Be sure to check them out if you're in the market for magic makers Oh my goodness. Saturday was a dreamy, love-filled, joyful, rustic, elegant, SPECTACULAR wedding. I'm so unbelievably excited to be sharing Jamie & Joe's wedding. Head to the link in my profile to see their day. You definitely will be filled with all the heart eyes on this one! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

That's all I've got today folks 🤤 This little guy did almost all of picnic point today. He splashed through the puddles, was pet by strangers, & I’m pretty sure some lady thought he was a cat...
..
She most definitely thought he was a cat 🙈
..
Happy Sunday!! Spending the day with Jamie & Joe? Oofta. I'm speechless. It was a love-filled day & I can’t WAIT to share more from their beautiful wedding. #becomingtheblanks18
