Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone!!

 How are you feeling today?  Are you nursing a gigantic hangover?  Or are you doing ok?  

 One of the benefits of getting a wee bit older is that I don't wake up New Years Day in my party dress from the night before on a girlfriend's couch or bed.  And I don't spend the better part of my day searching for my lost cellphone (it was a flip phone I believe) and stopping by the Varsity for a snack (true story)!  

 Instead I woke up at 10 a.m., which is super late for me, and got busy making black beans and ham for a crockpot recipe I am trying.  The hubs and I are going to grab some grease before the the UGA game and then finally take down our Christmas tree.  To me it's the perfect New Years Day!

 I am so excited for 2013 and everything it will bring.  I pray that for me it will bring love, light and some much needed levity.  My biggest prayer is that it will bring Matt and I a child.  I'm hoping that 2013 is the year that God answers my prayer.  

 I'm not sure what you are wishing for, hoping for and praying for but whatever it is I hope you realize it in 2013!  Know that no dream is too big or too small.  Make 2013 the year you go after it!  

 Thank you for reading my blog and being on this journey with me!  Thank you for your encouraging emails, cards and texts after I post or when I haven't posted in a while :)  Most of all thank you for letting me be incredibly real, honest and open with each of you!  You are all on this journey with me and I couldn't be more humbled and thankful for you.  

 Happy New Year!  xo

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
