I Gotta Wear Shades...

Now I loooove me some basics...
a white blouse...a pair of jeans...but...I ALWAYS love a POP! of color somewhere in the mix
of those neutrals...
Some "go to" outfits for me are a pair of jeans...or a basic pencil skirt...paired with a funky tee and some bright heels! 
The pop has to be in there somewhere!






Loving these pieces for Summer!

Loving My...



PEONIES!!!!!!
Seriously...
there is nothing that makes me happier
than my peonies in full bloom in my backyard...
What SUCKS is that they bloom for, literally, 2 weeks and then...
BOOM.
dead.
So, I have to pick them to be able to enjoy them!

My wonderful hubby bought me two bushes for my birthday when we first moved into our home
6 years ago...

The hot pink POP in my kitchen and dining room amongst the black and white is just stunning...

EVERY time I walk into the kitchen, I actually stop and say "DAMN THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL"...
I am not joking...
EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

They last a couple days...the ants crawl out of them...and all over our house...
my son gets freaked out...and my husband complains because he just spent the week prior to this getting all the ants OUT of our house...
and then I bring them back in...
I can't help it...

I am IN LOVE.
He understands...

thankful...

I am a generally happy woman...
I have my days...
but, basically...thankful for what I have...
& whenever I want more...or just forget...or am reminded...
I try to remind myself...

I am thankful for...

1.)  My husband...we have been through a lot together...we have grown together...side by side...we are still deeply in love with each other...I still look at him and am filled with such emotion...thankful that this man was given to me...{I am far from perfect...but, he loves me anyway}...we still laugh...flirt...touch feet under the blankets...snuggle...and support each other...I consistently remind myself to put him first...to never forget our marriage...to grow stronger together.  We have arguments...& I storm off mad sometimes...but, in my heart...I can honestly say that, I KNOW we will be together forever...I KNOW we will continue to grow more in love with each other...I don't know how or why...but, for this...I am thankful...


2.)  My beautiful son...God has allowed me to experience a life filled with a kind of love that I could never DREAM was possible...to love someone without expecting anything in return...to love with everything that you have...to give up your life for this person without hesitation...I have no doubt that God knew exactly what I needed and wrapped it up in this gift...to feel a child grow and move inside you is indescribable...this little person that hugs me...and kisses me...and tells me that he loves me...each and every day...and who crawls in bed with me...wraps his arms around me and kisses each part of my face...who touches me when I am upset...who laughs with me until we are both crying from happiness...who is the closest thing to God on earth that I could ever imagine...for him I am thankful...

3.)  My friends...we somehow all found each other at an early age...we learned to trust...to share our thoughts...dreams...hopes...wants...desires...to have FUN!...some of these people have shown me the kind of person I want to be...they are beautiful people...inside and out...loving mothers and fathers...honest...kind...and there for you...really there for you...without hesitation...I am blessed to have each and every one of them in my life...they are my family...& for them I am thankful...


4.)  For God...I am so thankful to know God...to truly and honestly believe...to trust in Him...to know that His plan is greater than anything that I can design for my own...to understand that He only gives me what I need...not what I want...to have someone to talk to...to cry to...to beg to...to get angry at...and know...deep in my soul that He understands my emotions and listens without judgement...for faith I am thankful...


5.)  For family...I was loved...really and truly loved...brought up with good words...and even better actions...I had role models...shown empathy...sympathy...caring...kindness...generosity...I was held accountable for my actions...but never left alone...I was and still am shown by example...I know that I am loved...and for that I am thankful...

Advice from the pros...


Ultra Shimmering All Over Face Powder
As sheer and shimmering as silk, the Diorskin Shimmer Star brightens the complexion with thousands of sparkles to a sea of finely milled shimmer.  Just the right amount of pearlescent particles and pigments designed to give the skin a beautiful sheen.
The result: in just one step, your face radiates with a delicate halo of light.

MAC Liquid Eye Liner

A liquid eye liner formula packaged with a unique applicator for precision application. Liquid Eye Liner is the perfect product for lining and defining the eyes. The firm, tapered tip of the applicator is easy to control and allows for a quick and precise application of the liner. Liquid Eye Liner is long-wearing, smudge-resistant and can be easily removed with Pro Eye Makeup Remover.



Revlon Just Bitten
Lipstain + Balm for a beautiful wash of kiss-proof color and moisturizing, soft shine.



Dior Nude Natural Matte Skin Perfecter

This breakthrough primer and skin perfecter dramatically enhances and mattifies the complexion to create flawless skin alone or underneath Diorskin Nude foundation. Its smooth texture imperceptibly blends into the skin, leaving it visibly refined and shine-free. Crystal Nude plays with optical illusion to instantly recreate the perfection of ideal nude skin. It is a transparent skin perfecter that enhances all skin types and skin tones while remaining perfectly invisible. Its crystalline formula provides an optical effect: like a softening lens, it shows the skin texture while diminishing its irregularities to instantly reveal a smooth and even complexion.This unprecedented makeup result is obtained with silicone microspheres that have unique properties.


Bobbi Brown
Award winning Creamy Concealer

Bobbi shares her favorite makeup artist tip - a yellow-based concealer that instantly camouflages dark circles. The creamy consistency ensures that it goes on smoothly, providing full, but natural looking coverage. The formula is filled with skin conditioning ingredients like Vitamin A, which helps minimize the appearance of fine dry lines and wrinkles & Vitamin E, which moisturizes and provides antioxidant protection.


Shu Uemura
Full Shimmer Illuminating Treatment for Color-Treated Hair

Adds vibrancy to hair color, imparts optimal shine and glazed touch from roots to ends
Weightier than your average conditioner but not quite thick enough to meet my definition of a “mask”. The (“musk rose oil”) scent is to.die.for.


Lancome Color Design
Sensational Effects Lipcolor
{Posh Pink}

If your lips long for full, fade-free color in tempting textures, and a shade selection that would inspire any makeup artist; the search is over. This luxurious lipstick is infused with soothing ingredients, so lips feel soft and comforted all day. Choose from four fabulous finishes: cream, sheen, shimmer, metallic and matte.



 Bioderma Make-up Remover

Crealine H2O Ultra-Mild Non-Rinse Face and Eyes Cleanser
