Office Update: #2
Hello Loves,
I wanted to give you all an office update today! SO, this is what the room looks like! Everything is up except one picture frame! The reason WHY the picture frame isn't up is because when I got home from buying them all....... ONE frame was BROKEN! HOOWWW FRUSTRATING! I am SO happy with how it has turned out so far. I'm going to be adding more gold dots to the wall as well as cleaning and buying new office supplies for my desk. Sorry this is taking so long but I am trying to do this all on a budget! Plus, stuff just keeps going wrong! Hope you all have a lovely day!

Soul Sunday
Most of the time it's hard to think of our problems as blessings. I was guilty of this yesterday. Things might be difficult for a little while but in the end I know everything is going to work out just fine. I need to start looking at my problems as a way to learn and to praise him for letting me learn/grow into the person HE wants me to be!

Lush Haul
Hey Dolls,
Today I am going to share with you some of my favorite products with a HAUL! This is my first ever blog haul! How exciting?? So just a warning..I am OBSESSED with Lush. Like seriously addicted. Every single time I have a doctors apt. downtown I stop off at lush and grab enough for about 3 months so don't judge. I swear on my life Lush totally helps with my chronic pain. Plus, I'm a totally girl and am addicted to smells and glitter! Lets jump right into this, girlfriends!
Secret Santa Bath Bomb
So obviously I picked up Secret Santa first. Its a HUGE bath bomb that is full of glitter and smells amazing. It smells very fruity.. like a lemon but not like Mr. Clean style lemon! Just soft, very relaxing but also awakening. ALSO, do you know about Ylang Ylang?? BECAUSE I DIDN'T!! Now I am soo happy I do know about it. Not only is this a very fun word to say but its also an amazing smelling oil! Lush uses this oil in a lot of their products. I promise you will not be disappointed with this bomb. Lush does recommend breaking this bomb into two so you get more baths out of it. Oh, ps. you might also find a cute surprise in the middle! wink wink!
Avobath Bath Bomb
This is a new bomb for me. I have smelled it before and I have picked it up before but never put it in my basket. The smell is a VERY strong lemon sent. It smells familiar. Like a sweet tart or something! The reason why I purchased this bomb this time and not all those other times is because I have annoying dry skin. In the winter my skin hates my guts! It gets dry, cracks, and flakes. I purchased this to try and keep my skin from getting horribly dry this year. The avocado is an amazing ingredient that will help moisturize and keep my skin looking fresh and new. Fingers crossed! I will let you guys know how this product works and if I do repurchase it.
So White Bath Bomb
OMG YA'LL! (girl moment) I cant say enough about this bomb. IT SMELLS SO GOOD! It smells of citrus and apple. It also smells like a fruit girl. It almost has a faint smell of perfume to it without being way too much or over powering. I'm not describing this very well. All I can say is I totally want to eat it. GO BUY IT NOW! Oh, plus it turns PINK! The girly girl inside me had to buy it! This is also my first time purchasing this bomb. I loved it so much I got 2!
Father Christmas Bath Bomb
This little cutie is a color changing bomb. I say that this bomb has a more earthy smell to him. He isn't a very strong smelling bomb. I would guess that anyone and everyone would love this bomb. This is a good gift idea for someone you aren't sure would like a very strong smelling bomb. It does contain some gold glitter and it also turned your bath water a lovely green. That is also a plus for tons of women. The bomb is a holiday best seller that continues to sell out each year! Give it a try! One for you and maybe one for a loved one? WHY NOT?
This is my last purchase for myself. I cannot say enough about this shampoo! I know tons and tons of bloggers talk about this and how much they love it. I was one of those people watching YouTube trying to decide if I wanted to go spend the money on it. Well, I went in and got my usual 6 bombs and asked for a sample. The second I got home I jumped into the bath and tried it. I LOVED IT! Like I said before, I have horrible dry skin everywhere. That means I have a very dry scalp as well. I have used tons of products to try and get ride of this problem. I was unsuccessful every time. This is honestly the ONLY product that had REMOVED all of my dry skin on my scalp. The smell is unbelievable. It smells like lemons, coconuts, and a tropical vacation all in one. The sea salt texture really gets your hair clean without drying it out or making it looking all frizzy! I always have people trying to smell my hair now! I recommend this shampoo to everyone and anyone I know. I am now on my second jar! I even got my husband to start using it! Next time you are passing a Lush store remember to stop in and ask for a sample of the Big Shampoo.
My last Lush buys are Christmas gifts!

Pink Of Hearts
Hey Dolls
So today is a review of the OPI's Pink Of Hearts 2013 Nail duo.
In this kit you get a glitter polish called "More than glimmer. This glitter polish is a limited edition for breast cancer awareness month. Not only is it limited but its also a MATTE GLITTER! Sayyyy WHAT!? Yes, a matte glitter! You also get the polish "Pink-ing of you". PLUS! Yes, more.. You get free crystal and pink ribbon decals. If you follow me on Instagram I had posted a picture saying that I wanted this really bad! I was soooo excited when I was at the beauty supply store looking for a new hair product and found it!
So lets just jump right into it!
So lets just jump right into it!
This is just MORE THAN A GLIMMER on clean nails. One has a top coat and the other does NOT. You cant really tell the difference. I have to say, I was really impressed with the glitter itself! I love that they used silver, pink, and teal glitter together. I also love that they used different sized glitter. I applied 4 coats to achieve this look. I'm VERY impressed OPI!
So PINK-ING OF YOU was way more work! This color is very sheer nail polish. I applied 3 coats to achieve this look but wanted more! I do like the color but I don't see myself grabbing for this polish often.
I do REALLY like the combination of the pink and glitter! OMG its like my all time favorite party nails! I swear I wish I had this glitter a long time ago! I know a lot of people are into sparkle, sequins, glitter, and gold dots right now! I happen to be one of those girls! I'm like a bass fish, I go to anything that is shiny! This is the ultimate party girl nail! I could see myself wearing this for a bachelorette party, a kids party, or a girls night out! I would also wearing the glitter over BLACK polish for New Years! OMG! SOOO SMART! Sorry, just had a moment! Or a white polish with the glitter would look very nice! It has lots of color in the glitter so it would stand out! Or a silver! That might look nice! Me, I'm going to apply it over anything! The only thing I wasn't very happy about was the pink ribbon. It is almost the same color as the nail polish! Impossible to see if you put it on with this pink color. I did have it on in the picture above.
Leave me a comment if you can spot it!

These are friendship bracelets on crack.. In a goo way! They are ALL seriously so amazing but Id have to say that this necklace is my favorite. I love the crystal detailing. The vintage rhinestone piece in the middle gives it such a rich, flirty look! SO STUNNING! Such a cute gift for a birthday, hey, buy one for you and one for your friend. Any excuse to buy yourself something right? I'd even love to display it in my office ALL THE TIME!
$20.00
What a dreamy blush pink and gold foil print. This is such a romantic and meaningful print. Great for an office, a nursery, or a bedroom. I wish my husband would buy this for me! Hint Hint honey!! B is for Bonnie is the BOMB!! Not only is this print amazing but everything is her shop has such a magnificent look. You are just pulled to everything she has! I find myself saying "oh I want that, OHH NO! LOOK AT THIS. This would go good in my room.. I defiantly need two of these" I could justify buy one of each! Bonnie's shop offers everything from gold prints, business branding, wedding invitations and so much more!
(set of 25)

Gold is and has been EVERYTHING for a while. Gold prints, gold pens, gold polka doted walls, gold nails....why not gold straws?!? My Little Otter is defiantly the place to visit if you want to do a gold themed party. They also have gold cupcake liners, gold washi tape, and gold sugar sprinkles. Oh wait, that's not even the best part..With this set of 25 straws also comes a printable sheet of straw topper flags! You prints, write, and cut out!

SO many of you know I'm OBSESSED with sharks. So obsessed that I did a shark week nail look! You can click HERE to check that out. Anyways, I have gone shark fishing, I love going to any aquarium to watch sharks, and I love collecting shark teeth but how awesome would it be to have a GOLD SHARK TOOTH?? Really.. This is all I want for my upcoming birthday. Paint The Town Me dips real shark teeth in 24 k gold. The size and shape does vary from the picture a little since each tooth is one of a kind.
$45.96
Remember when I was obsessed with gold. Oh ya.. Like right now! Would you die to have this as your business logo? because I would! I mean... Gold and Pink! So STUNNING. Don't get me started. I also adore THIS gold or silver heart print she sells! It would look divine in a office or nursery. Rachel from Miss Poppy is so talented its unbelievable. If you are looking to re-brand your business or blog you should really check her out. If you don't, you'll be disappointed. I'm totally thinking about using this design for my business cards. What do you think? YES RIGHT??.. I know!
Rachel also does custom work upon request.
$32.00
I'm always looking for ways to improve my shabby chic home and this is obviously one way to do that. I am totally in love with lace and burlap. I also love garlands. I'm thinking this would look beautiful in someones home above a bed, on the fireplace mantel, for a birthday party or wedding. Personally I would put this hanging from my fire place. If you are having a party or a wedding and love burlap I would 100% check out The Ruffled Daisy. Its pretty much a one stop shop for all your burlap needs! They have EVERYTHING!!
Instant Download
$15.00
So, many of you may know that I struggle with multiple bone, joint, and muscle diseases. I visit many doctors and have multiple hospital visits. Its almost impossible to keep everything medically organized. Each doctor wants to know who you have seen and when and what happened, and what medication where you prescribed and what tests did they run! BLAH BLAH BLAH!! Oh my favorite is " and when did you have that surgery?" They hell if I know!! It was years ago! Well, Monica from Fresh and Organized has saved me! In this instant download you get so many vital things that you need to keep up with your never ending doctor appointments! Not to mention my medical binder would be the first thing I grabbed in a fire! Oh and the prescription tracker. I wish I had that 7 years ago when I first started my journey to getting healthy. Its SO hard to go into a doctor apt. and have them ask you if you have ever tried this medication. I don't know about you but I think a ton of medicine all sounds the same. How should I know? I might have taken it 10 years ago and it didn't work.. why take it all over again! Monica was nice enough to send me the Medical Binder Kit for free and I LOVE IT
THANK YOU MONICA!
Gold edition
$75.00
With medical issues, a husband who is a fireman, and tons of dates to remember its VERY hard to have your life in order. I recently came across this Erin Condren Planner and thought it was totally cute. Not only is it fashionable but the customization keeps it at the top of my list. If you have a crazy life and need a little organization in it I highly recommend this Life Planner for you!
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN LOVING LATELY?
