plans

Hello again lovelies! I'm still alive! I've been so wrapped up in design orders and living life. But I'm back!

With summer here, I'll be back on a regular blogging schedule and getting Modern Buttercup back on track. This summer I'll be traveling a bit so expect to see some more "a day through photos" posts more in the coming months. I'm also going to be expanding this blog a bit with some style posts also. Maybe even a new blog design!

I have a ton planned and can't wait to see what I accomplish this summer!

Summer goals

It's so close to summer and I have a ton of things planned: making ice cream, blogging more, art journaling,  getting some new shoes (my light yellow ones are falling apart), and shopping at LUSH. 

And all though it's already June, our weather here has been so odd. It was pouring rain on Friday and has been an even 60 degrees. Not quite my idea of summer!

I have so much I want to do, so much I want to see in only a few short weeks... 

What do you want to accomplish this summer?

julep maven: June

I received my very first "official" Julep Maven box a few days ago and couldn't wait to share it with you! As you know,  I'm a bit of a nail polish addict -- so when I found a nail polish subscription I immediately subscribed with no hesitation. They have so many lovely colors and it's awesome to get a surprise selection every month. Here's what I received this month and my 1-5 star rating...

     
   
Rating: 5 stars
- This was actually a freebie and wasn't included in the original preview-- but so glad it was! It's a double whammy; a good lip balm with a nice scent and some sun protection too! I loved it.
     
    
Rating: 4
- I like this one as it also has more than on use (lotion/sun protection) and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it didn't really have a scent. Otherwise, 5 stars.

    

Rating: 5 stars!

The nail polish selection this month was amazing and I adored both colors I received: 

Lily - a deep fuchsia. It was really pretty!

Courteney - a pretty, avocado green. Love this one...

Here's an example of Lily:

     

I loved this month's box and plan on getting July's. It's only $20 and this month I easily received a box worth over $50. And you can get your first box for only 1 cent! Use the code: PENNY

It's another lovely Monday and another day closer until Summer. I have a ton of things planned this week and ready for the warm sun...

it's june + a wallpaper

It's a new month, a fresh start. Summer is about to begin and I can't wait to share some awesome posts for this month! I'm also sharing a cute little wallpaper I've made (shown above) and can be downloaded here. It's my first attempt at a wallpaper and I hope you like it...

A few things I'm looking forward to this month:
- trying some new nail polish colors
- making some ice cream
- enjoying the summer skies
