Hey Ya'll.  I'm so excited to finally share this DIY Farmhouse Bench Tutorial with all of you! After adding board and batten to our entryway last year, I knew I wanted to complete the look with a farmhouse style bench for our guests! Unfortunately, after searching at a ton of local retailers, I had no luck finding what I was looking for. As luck would have it, my friends over at Osborne Wood graciously offered to provide a set of their beautiful turned legs for another DIY project, and I just knew they would be the perfect fit for the farmhouse bench we'd been dreaming of! If you've followed my blog for awhile, then you probably remember our DIY Farmhouse Table and Dining Set Makeover , using Osborne Wood Husky Dining Table Legs  (my absolute FAVORITE diy of all time!)  For this project, we decided to go with a smaller version and perfect compliment to our dining room table legs, the Country Bench Leg . After visiting Lowes to pick up additional supplies...

Exciting news, beauties! Sephora relaunched Sephora Collection, which you can find at Sephora inside JCPenney!  I've shopped at our local JCPenney for years, and they have always offered affordable and fashionable options for our family. Since opening Sephora Inside JCPenney in 2006, I've found myself shopping there even more! We live in a super small town, and I never dreamed that I'd be able to shop Sephora anywhere but online, so it's really the icing on the cake!  Sephora Inside JCPenney offers a unique one stop shop environment that features Sephora's own private label, Sephora Collection. As you all know, I'm a total beauty junkie so I love having plenty of options when it comes to makeup, and skincare. And what girl doesn't love a good deal? Sephora Collection, which will be relaunching this fall, offers makeup, tools and skincare at a great value; the collection starts at just $10! Want a peek at an exciting new product available i...

disclosure: This post is in partnership with Pretty in my Pocket & Paulas Choice. However, all opinions are my own. We keep it real here at BentleyBlonde :)  After having our first child in October, I started noticing more breakouts and fine lines than ever before, and decided it was time for a total skincare overhaul. When I was approached by Pretty in My Pocket  and Paula's Choice  to try out their skincare, I jumped at the opportunity! I've used a few of Paula's products in the past and have always been impressed. My skin is the true definition of combination, oily in the t-zone and dry everywhere else. I also struggle with occasional acne breakouts, fine lines, and dark spots. Really the whole sha-bang wouldn't you say?! ;)  I had a brief skincare consultation over the phone, and was recommended the Paula's Choice Resist Anti-Aging Advanced Kit for Wrinkles & Breakouts , appropriate for normal to oily skin types. My consultant explained to ...

I would liken my pre-baby handbag to a sack of magic tricks. You never knew what would come out of that thing next.. lipstick, hair ties, tums, a rubber chicken. Ok, the chicken might be a bit of an exaggeration, but seriously I carried a ton of stuff! ;) After having our son Colton, I took my magic trickery one step further. I started carrying TWO bags; a small diaper bag for him, and my regular handbag. Needless to say, this method didn't last longer than four months. Carrying two heavy bags and a baby was not only nearly impossible, but completely impractical.  This momma needed to downsize and organize ASAP. It was then that I discovered the JJ Cole Freeman in Black & Cream. A diaper bag that didnt just scream "Hey I'm a mom!" It was stylish enough to work as my everyday handbag and roomy enough to house all of baby and I's necessities.  I love that the exterior style and color is versatile enough to go with almost any outfit.  I...
