Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a skincare product junkie. I don't typically use one line all the time - I like to rotate between different lines because they all have different ingredients and claims as to what they can do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c5qqyunyg6">m-61</a> a few months ago and it's a skincare line that is exclusive to <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c5qqe2nyg6">Bluemercury</a> - a site devoted to luxury skincare that works. Their entire line is full of<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> d<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">ermatologist-loved ingredients with power-packed naturals and is 100% free from harmful parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. Best of all is that it works! My skin feels so clean and hydrated afterwards. Their <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c5qqrynyg6">fast blast facial mask </a>takes only 2 minutes and my skin is exfoliated and brightened at the same time. Another favorite of mine from <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c5qqyunyg6">m-61</a> is their <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c5qqumnyg6">microdermabrasion scrub</a> - perfectly exfoliated skin in just a minute!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">After exfoliating, I'll use their <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c5qq3qnyg6">powerglow peel</a> - a </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">fine-line treatment peel exfoliates, resurfaces, clarifies and firms skin in one quick step</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had the pleasure of attending a candle lab hosted by the wonderful husband and wife team at <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c2vmp2nyg6" target="_blank">Craft & Foster.</a> All their candles are made from non-toxic soy wax and are all hand poured in their cute little shop in Oceanside, CA. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My absolute favorite scents are <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c2vmrcnyg6" target="_blank">Lost Coast</a> and <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c2vmrznyg6" target="_blank">Guava & Fig</a>. <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c2vmrcnyg6" target="_blank"> Lost Coast</a> smells like a beautiful men's cologne combined with the salty beach air. and their <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c2vmrznyg6" target="_blank">Guava & Fig</a> smells like exotic tropical fruits. Two very different candles - but they both smell absolutely amazing.</div>

<br />
Ever since I turned 40 last year, I've noticed that my skin is dryer....maybe it is, maybe it's psychological, but I've been a lot better about taking care of my skin. I've always been fastidious about putting on sunscreen and staying out of the sun, but I am starting to notice some fine lines. Botox and other fillers are out of the question...I'm a chicken when it comes to pain and I feel like it's a downward spiral if I even got started. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here are some of my favorite products that I've tried and absolutely loved. You'll notice a lot of Shiseido brands on here - I grew up watching my mom and grandma use it and they have some beautiful skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I cannot live without is my bottle of <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cfq43mnyg6" target="_blank">Shiseido Future Solution Replenishing Treatment Oil</a> - it is absolutely the BEST - it's an incredibly light oil that absorbs immediately into your skin. I use it after I use my serums and incorporate a pump into my creams.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cfq5panyg6" target="_blank">IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup</a> is another favorite of mine - it really melts away all the makeup - even stubborn waterproof eyeliner.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorites that I use all the time - what are some of your tried and true favorites?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
PS...<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cfrbsdnyg6" target="_blank">Neiman Marcus</a> is having a free tote and samples with $125 purchase - ends 2/26/17</div>

My favorite scent for relaxing will always be lavender - there is something so calming about that scent and it's just a beautiful scent especially when the products contain the purest of French Lavender oils. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My absolute favorite go to bubble bath is the <a href="http://rstyle.me/~9CVAn" target="_blank">L'Occitane Lavender Foaming Bath</a> - just two capfuls are enough for a bath full of relaxing bubbles.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Favorite hand cleaner on the go - the <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ce6jfsnyg6" target="_blank">EO lavender wipes </a>- you will absolutely LOVE these wipes - non-drying and it smells wonderful! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Favorite shower gel - the whole family uses this one - the <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ce6m76nyg6" target="_blank">EO French Lavender shower gel</a> it's economical - though honestly, I would pay triple the price - it's THAT good! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And for my kiddo's dry skin/chapped lips, my go to is the <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ce6mqinyg6" target="_blank">All Good Lavender Healing Balm/Goop </a> - My son gets very cracked skin when he gets bad colds - he licks his upper lip area under his nose until it's all chapped and cracked. I put some of this on overnight and by morning his skin has magically healed. This also works wonders on dry cuticles. *and no, this is not a sponsored post!* </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnMATQHt262KHlPjttg1d_s0lOENz_7YerwqXQfoBK8WwCC9Rc-yJ143F5xs9pECJ3cBxrMH0UM2cwO1D33aa_g3qHY-jK0k8XcbA1pLf4qQpng7uztVMDBNdqEBK5tAKoQz7S3wph7DNOSp532ZKfgiu8Jlo6pjCOze7uQWQzmmwkPKed1R5Z5Nmc1w/s640/lavender%20fields.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="512" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnMATQHt262KHlPjttg1d_s0lOENz_7YerwqXQfoBK8WwCC9Rc-yJ143F5xs9pECJ3cBxrMH0UM2cwO1D33aa_g3qHY-jK0k8XcbA1pLf4qQpng7uztVMDBNdqEBK5tAKoQz7S3wph7DNOSp532ZKfgiu8Jlo6pjCOze7uQWQzmmwkPKed1R5Z5Nmc1w/w512-h640/lavender%20fields.webp" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Here is the kitchen that we get to design!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've always dreamed of an all white kitchen and now it's finally within reach! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some of our design elements that we've chosen for our kitchen - classic white thermofoil cabinets - These were one of the only items in the entire house that we did not upgrade. You may wonder why - It is because we have two little boys. We remodeled our current home before we had little ones and spent a ton of money on custom furniture grade cabinetry for our kitchen. Well, when my big boy got to be a toddler, we realized that he's not very gentle when it comes to closing cabinet doors or drawers. And crayons...don't even get me started. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did upgrade the cabinets to have soft close so they cannot be slammed, and the drawers all will have dovetail joints. The pros of having thermofoil cabinets is that they are easily cleaned, can take a lot more abuse, and we can replace a panel, door, or drawer front if needed at Home Depot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also chose a backsplash of hexagonal Carrara marble - it's absolutely gorgeous!! And the countertop will be quartz stone in White Zeus Extreme. We chose quartz because it is a very hard material, second only to diamond. It's nonporous and beautiful. It will definitely hold up to a family that uses it all the time! Because it's nonporous, it won't stain nor can germs get into the counter itself. There is also no sealing required which is a huge plus in my book! It is also not cheap - I don't know the exact cost per sq. ft that we paid but it was a significant upgrade charge from the included granite slab. And yes, I would have LOVED a huge slab of marble but I know me and I know that I have 3 kids....marble just does not lend itself well to young children....An apron sink sits in the middle of the island. We got all KitchenAid appliances but no built in refrigerator - it just wasn't a must have on my list. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why did we choose new construction vs. purchasing a resale home?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had several criteria for buying our next home:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. The new home had to be large enough for our family of 5 to grow into.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. It had to have a bedroom and full bath downstairs for when our parents come to visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. We had to stay in the same school district.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. With the budget that I had, everything had to be accounted for - ie - if the resale home needed a new kitchen or landscaping work needed to be done</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had my eye on the real estate market for the last year and nothing ever came up in the resale market that matched my all of my criteria. One home may have had a gorgeous kitchen but then I would have wanted to rip out all the bathrooms. I factored the cost of say bathroom remodels and new flooring and the amount of time it would take to redo everything and I realized that a resale home may not be for my next home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>PROS:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The resale homes in our area of comparable size were believe it or not - higher priced than new construction.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New construction also allowed us the flexibility of choosing the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether we wanted a regular sliding door or an 18 foot floor to ceiling accordion door, choosing flooring that fit our needs, brushed nickel bath accessories and door handles, the entire kitchen customized to our liking, and many more details that I'll go into in another blog post. We LOVE the open concept floor plan and were able to choose the floorplan that best suited our needs! We also don't have to pay for upgrades that we will never use - such as a surround sound system. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
KB Home also offers a full one year warranty on everything and then a 10 year limited warranty - less money to shell out for maintenance = happy me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything is built to be energy efficient so that means lower utility bills.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I waited patiently for a builder to start building in our area. <a href="http://www.kbhome.com/new-homes-san-diego-county/sea-cliff-ii" target="_blank">KB Home</a> was the only builder to fit all of our criteria. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>CONS: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been mostly smooth sailing with the building process - the only downside I feel and we still haven't even broken ground yet even though we signed our contract back in early November is that our timeline could have been better managed. We were told in the beginning of a March/April move in and now we're looking at June/July. It makes it hard to sell our current home because we need to rent back until we move into our new home. Temporary housing is not in the cards because it is just too hard to move twice in 3 months with 3 special needs kiddos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We may be looking at piles of dirt outside our windows for a while as they build up the next phase of homes after we move in - but the boys will think that is great fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no negotiating on the price of the home as we are in a highly desired market.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every upgrade and customization costs money and trust me when I tell you that it adds up really fast! If you want to replicate what the model home looks like, be prepared to shell out some serious cash. I suffered from sticker shock at first....but when Phil did the math for me, every $10,000 in upgrades would only cost me $50/month in additional mortgage payments - this is calculated at the interest rate for our loan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So sorry I've been missing in action from my blog for seriously over a year! How are you all doing? Happy New Year! Time just goes by so incredibly fast when you're swamped with work, 3 kids, and now building a new home! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We decided to build vs. buy a resale home - I'll go into more detail in another blog post as to the pros & cons of building. Here's a funny story as to what happened... We were bored one Sunday afternoon and my husband asks me what I wanted to do with the kids - it was 5:30 - I said - let's go look at the new homes! We weren't in the market to buy, yes we had talked about moving in the past, but being so busy and with the holiday season coming up (this was in the beginning of November 2016), we really should have been focusing on work....but like having a kid, buying a house, especially building a new one - there never is a good time as there's SO much that needs to be done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, we went to go look at the home, but Phil didn't get to really see it because he was chasing the boys around. I saw it, loved the model and came home with some new reading material to pour over. I went back on Tuesday for the lot map after reading up on <a href="http://www.kbhome.com/" target="_blank">KB Home</a>. They showed me what was available and I did my research. I realized that my first picks were already taken but by Thursday morning, I couldn't remember what was still available so I called them up. They told me what was left and I circled them - oh wait...did they say Lot #33 is available? They did and that was my #1 choice! I told them that I'd be over in 5 minutes...with a check in hand. Phil is looking for me - texting me...and was wondering where I was. Uhmmm...I'm at the housing office? *Seriously bracing myself for whatever's coming my way* For what? Ohhh...I just put a deposit down on the house. Oh awesome...I guess we're moving? was his response. My poor husband. It's gotta be hard being married to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our beautiful dirt lot for our future dream home - currently it looks like a lake with all the rain that we got this week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's how it all started - all the paperwork was signed one week after we first saw the home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We ended up choosing the <a href="http://www.kbhome.com/new-homes-san-diego-county/sea-cliff-ii/residence-3907#planDetails" target="_blank">largest model at 3907 square feet</a> - it will be perfect for our family for many years to come.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some upgrades that were a must have on our list:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We converted the den to a 5th bedroom and added a full bath for our parents when they come to visit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
18 foot accordion door along the back wall</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9 foot ceilings vs. 8 foot ceilings on the second floor</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, exciting times - I'll be showing you what we upgraded to in the next blog post! I spent well over 30 hours at the Design Studio picking out every last detail! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, why did we choose KB Home as our builder? We definitely wanted to stay in our school district - our kids have grown up here and we love the teachers. We definitely wanted a new construction home, and frankly, we loved the open floor plan of the home we chose! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you built a home from the ground up? I would love to hear your experiences!</div>
