2014 Summer Loves

Hey everyone!

Well, it looks like Summer if finally over on my end of the globe.  It's still very warm during the day, but our mornings and nights definitely have that Fall crispness to them.  Which makes me soooooo excited!  Don't get me wrong, I do love Summer, but there is just something about Fall that makes me a happy girl.  I am really sad however that this was the last Summer of True Blood.  Let's just take a moment to say goodbye to Bill and Sookie.....................

This photo was graphically designed by my good friend Julie.  These were Michael and I's Christmas cards one year.  She beautifully put our faces on Bill and Sookie's.  Clever girl.  

Moving on.........

So since Summer is coming to an end, I thought I would share with you my most loved products of this past Summer.  All products mentioned will be linked down below.

What were some of your Summer loves??

Lots of love,
Aimee Lou

July/August Favorites


Hi everyone!  So we come to the end of another month.  This year is just flying by!  I can hardly keep up.  Which is why I'm combining my July/August Favorites this month.  And I only had maybe 2 things I was loving in July.

But can you believe it's already September!!!  OMG!  Fall is just around the corner!  I can smell it.  LOL!  It's still very hot here in the South, but I'm so ready to decorate my house for Fall.  So keep your eyes open for that post ;)

On to the favorites!  As always, links to everything I've been loving is below as well as my video.  So check it out!  And let me know what ya'll have been loving.

Oh!  Before I go, just throwing this out there.  If you shop online like me, earn cash back through Ebates.  There are no strings attached.  You make an account at Ebates & start shopping.  It's that simple!  Just remember to log in before you shop or you'll miss out on your credits.  You'll get a check every 3 months I think.  So go check it out!

Lots of Love,
Aimee Lou

I just had to share this video separately.  It's such a powerful song.  Just listen to the words.  It was one of my favorite songs for the month of August and it still is.  But like I said, I had to blog about it separately. We live in a world of makeup, filtered photos, hair extensions and all kinds of other things that improve our looks.  And that's totally fine.  For me, it's fun to play around with makeup.  Scan through all the filters for my photos.  Pop in some hair extensions to see how I would look with longer fuller hair.  But at the end of the day, when all that comes off, you're left with you.  The real you.  Do you like you?  Yes!  You do!  We are all different in our own special ways.  We are each unique and beautiful.  You don't have to "Try" so hard.  Love who you are.  Embrace you.  Be happy :))



Lots and lots of Love ya'll,

Aimee Lou
