I brought my dear little Grandma home from her assisted living place yesterday because she was in a dire need of a manicure which got me to thinking I should write out a few simple instructions for a quick, easy at home manicure! It makes such a fun little gift and everyone loves getting their nails cleaned up–even my husband was jealous of Grandma last night! 🙂
Now this really was kind of last minute for me but normally I would have cleaned my house spotless and created a relaxing spa …
It all started with my sister-in-law Kira. She suggested this year instead of doing a family gift exchange that we each donate to a charity or needy family.
I initially kind of panicked because I don’t personally know anyone that I could donate to. I don’t know why I had it in my head that it had to be personal but for some reason I thought it needed to be someone close to us. The wheels started turning though and it didn’t take long to realize how many people in …
Like a lot of people, I try to give my darling neighbors a little something at Christmas time to show them how much I appreciate them. I honestly do not see or talk to my neighbors very often…just a quick wave from across the street while we check our mailboxes…but I adore them and am so grateful to have such amazing neighbors!
I started a little tradition a few years back and thought I would share it with you because it really is soooo easy! I promise!
My mom makes THE WORLD’S …
I cannot believe Thanksgiving is over! The holidays are flying right by us and before we know it 2014 will be here! However, I have a feeling the cold spell coming upon us this week will slow time down at least for a little while. 🙂
Last week was busy with baking and cleaning but I also had a few last minute nail appointments as well, which is great! I feel like I haven’t been super busy with nails lately so I always look forward to seeing my few friends and …
Have you seen this video yet from Ellen? It’s part of what inspired me to write this post…
Although I think the fashion industry is totally whacko at times, I love that this model is able to be happy with herself despite a few negative labels over the years.
If you follow my blog regularly you might notice I have body issues…like a lot of girls I imagine. It just dawned on me the other day that criticizing my body for the past 33 years has not done me ANY GOOD whatsoever. …
I don’t know why I say dry “winter” skin…lately my skin has been dry YEAR ROUND! It’s mostly just in two spots too…the tops of my hands and my shins…so weird.
Actually the tops of my hands is understandeable. I fill my sink with the hottest water and dish soap and bleach every morning…and although my kitchen gloves are hanging RIGHT by the sink, do I put them on? Hardly ever…why do we do that?!? When I was working in the salon full time almost every single one of my clients …
Well the cats out of the bag now that Tennille and everyone at the salon knows so I guess I can tell the whole world now….that’s right…I’m pregnant! :-))))
My due date is around May 22 give or take…a week or two 🙂 I’m roughly three months along right now and this pregnancy is so different from my last. Or maybe it’s been so long (7.5 years!) that I just don’t remember.
One thing that’s similar this time though is my heightened sense of paranoia. I worry about EVERYTHING! Things like the …
I love finding new amazing apps! I found Rhonna’s app because it was a top recommended app through Apple. It is wonderful for designing uber cute “stuff” for your blog. It’s also great for editing pictures! She makes everything ultra customizeable and offers TONS of adorable graphics and fonts!

I love that she lives …

…and it has very little to do with great sex, flat abs, or ruling the world. Kate Bartolotta is the genius behind the words and it was posted on The Huffington Post. I saw it on Facebook and loved it so much I wanted to share it as much as possible…just click on the picture below for the article 🙂
You might not rule the world, but you can learn to rule your happiness 🙂
She brings up the book The Four Agreements. This book is seriously one of the …
