May 2014

I can't believe its May!!! This year is really flying by, and a little faster than I would like it to. I have higher expectations for May than April. The weather is warmer, flowers are in full bloom as well as stormy weather. I don't mind the stormy weather at all, just as long as no one gets hurt.

 I plan on being out doors more and going to the gym more as well. I have some events coming up in June and July that I want to look my best for so that will be the shot in the arm that I need to get to the gym since its not always an appealing thought, more like appalling. LOL!!!

I hope everyone has a good month and enjoys the great outdoors and takes in life and creates memories along the way through May and the rest of this year. 

 

So Sorry. . .

I’m so sorry I’ve not been here in a while as you can see. I just haven’t felt up to blogging, but next month I plan on blogging a lot more and posting my reviews for InStyle, Harper’s Bazaar and Lucky.  April didn’t go quite as I planned on, and that added to me not blogging or posting really much of anything. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the spring weather.   

Harper's Bazaar April 2014

So they say age is just a number. I say embrace it! On page 180 you get can get ideas of what to wear when you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s+. Then on page 202 find our more tips on the right makeup for your age as well.

Through out this issue is tips for embracing whatever age you may be. I'm in my early 30s so I really liked this issue on embracing my age as I get older.

I liked this issue because its fabulous all the way through!

Lucky April 2014

So on page 35 spring dresses gets a ladylike update.

On pages 44 & 46 some of the editors picks and I'm going to have to give Dolce by Dolce & Gabbana another try.

Pick up this issue for even more great ideas for this season!

April 2014

It’s going to be a good month, I can just feel it! I’m going back to the gym…finally!  And the weather is warming up with storms rolling in. I just love this month as well as this time of year.  All the stores have their spring clothes in, thinking about summer plans and vacations. I think April is going to be a really good month. I hope all the best for everyone!!!

 

 

 

Spring Cleaning

So its that time of year...again, to do spring cleaning! Clearing out those closets, dresser drawers, and anything else that might need to be cleaned.

While no, cleaning isn't a cup of tea, it makes your space neat, tidy, clean and ready for those guests who drop by without calling first. You know we've all had those kind of people.

However, spring cleaning can be done easily with a few tips and time savers. Below are some links on tips for getting your spring cleaning done with less stress.

Spring 2014

 

Awww. . . It’s the first day of spring!!! Warmer weather ahead!!! After a long cold, snowy winter, I’m totally ready for spring!!! I love seeing and smelling the new blooms of the season as well as hearing the birds chirping after being away for winter. I’m ready to pull out all of my spring/summer clothes and start thinking about my summer plans. I got my spring hair cut last week, so I’m a little bit ahead of things.  I’m looking forward to the spring rain and storms!!! Happy first day of spring!!!

Home Sweet Beautiful Home

We all want and desire a beautiful home that has character and something that makes it unique and different from the house next door.

 Personally, I would live in the house in the first picture because its different, yet it doesn't look like a house, but a home.

Below are some beautiful homes to give you ideas of what house you would like to call home.

To go along with this post, there are more posts about home décor, just scroll down. From beautiful kitchens to bathrooms, bedrooms and spacious living rooms, there's plenty of ideas for the home you have now and to come.

 

 

 

Frontdoors & Frontporches

Just like your clothes say who you are without having the use of words, so does your front porch and front door.  It should be inviting as the rest of your home. Make it beautiful, make it worth the view from the street, make it your own and stand out from the rest.

 

 

 

Beautiful Kitchens

The kitchen is the heart and soul of the house, or so they say. Its one of the best sellers when buying a home. Memories are made with friends and family. Baking cookies, trying new recipes, entertaining friends and family and so forth. Regardless if you are chef in the making or just simply one who like to cook and entertain, here are some ideas for your next kitchen remodel or for that home you're building. 

 

 

Spacious Livingrooms

A living room is where friends and family can gather to catch up, watch a DVD, just relaxes, etc. Here are some ideas for your home. I just love the pictures below, so inviting and warming.
