For The Love of Pinterest

I have to tell you that I broke up with Pinterest...momentarily!  We are back together and better than ever. 

We parted ways because frankly I look at enough unimportant shizz on the internet and it was one more site for me to view.  I forgot during my months long hiatus how freaking amazing it is!!  I jumped back on this week and have been busy pinning :) 

I also think I made up with Pinterest because I am tightening the purse strings for the next couple of months.  I think it's a good thing as it is my own doing and not at the insistence or urging of the hubs. 

Saving money can be hard for me because I just feel like I'm putting it aside when I could be doing something super fun with it.  That whole saving for a rainy day thing never made much sense to me.  What finally has clicked for me is saving for something specific. 

So I am forgoing the new fold able Ray Bans, Lilly's dresses and Louboutin's to put it all in savings.  I have some things I am specifically saving for that and that makes it easier to resist shopping. 

The other thing that helps is Pinterest.  It gives me something to do besides online shopping and great inspiration for some of the things I'm saving for and what other site gives you such beautiful images?!

Happy Pinning!

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

A Sad Season

I have to tell you that these past few months and perhaps this year have been hard and yes sad.  My mother told me when we were talking about it that I was experiencing "a sad season" and I have to agree. Now this doesn't mean that everything has been awful, sad and terrible.  I haven't been in bed for weeks at a time with the covers over my head watching trash tv.  Instead I feel like it has been one of those times were the hits just keep on coming.  The bad news just keeps rolling in like ocean waves.  It has been a time of tremendous loss and sadness.  The events that have occurred aren't the same but it felt like every time I would get my ahead above water something else would happen.   It has been difficult because there are happy times mixed in to all of the sad.  In those times of happiness I have genuinely tried to be in the moment but my heart wasn't in the right place.  My heart has not felt happy and there has been an undercurrent of sadness tha
