I love to learn about the good things my family members and friends have.  You know that moment when they ask, “Have you heard of  _____?  Oh, it is my new favorite thing!  I cannot live without it.”  It is a guilty pleasure to me, so I have decided to share some of my favorite GOOD THINGS with you!

Last week my daughter B asked if I was wearing my fake eyelashes.  I was not.  I was actually in my workout clothes and a messy bun.  Looking back that may have been a great time to throw my false eyelashes on.  I took it as a compliment that she thought my eyelashes were long enough to be false.  I have to give that eyelash credit to Rodan and Fields.  I often get asked if my eyelashes are my own.  Most of the time, they are my own lashes.  I tend to wear my magnetic lashes, from One Two Cosmetics, if I am photographing a wedding or dressing up for the day.  I have thrown them on for a baseball game or two, because I needed a little pick-me-up to feel fancy.  I have learned that they are the perfect amount of extra lashes, because Farmer J does not notice when I have them on until I point it out to him.

Instagram told me that I needed a pair of Rothy’s The Point flats and they were right!  These durable flats are made from recycled water bottles and they can be washed!  They have become my go-to wedding day shoe.  This means that they are comfortable enough for me to wear them all day long.  There are a wide variety of colors and styles.  They are an investment for a pair of flats, but I can wear them all day long, run, and bend down in them.  I have worn them for the past five weddings and I do not plan to stop.  I just may need to look into the cheetah print as well because I think they are calling my name.  If you are a wedding photographer or on your feet all day, take a look into Rothy’s.

These are the real pair that I wear to weddings and portrait sessions.  They are not brand new.  It looks like they could use a wash!

My final GOOD THING is a natural deodorant.  For years I have been on the hunt for a natural deodorant that works for me!  Farmer J has been slow to join the natural deodorant train, but Native Deodorant won him over.  His favorite bar of deodorant is Eucalyptus and Mint.  I am a fan of Coconut and Vanilla.  Native Deodorant has safe ingredients, and I feel like everyone is talking about it!  I brought up this brand of deodorant with a neighbor, and she said that she is already using it!  (Her favorite bar is Rosé.)  If you have been on the fence of trying a natural deodorant, I recommend you give this a try.
