A little bit of this...and that

Hello lovelies!!  How are you today?? I am so excited to show you the before and after of my closet renovations!  It has taken some time to get everything in it's place and organized but it is now a masterpiece if I do so say myself!   I finally have everything I own in one closet!  My bathing suits, purses, spring/summer and fall/winter are all together.  And the best part they are organized and I can see and find everything!  It is truly the best home improvement project I have ever done and I wish I had done it sooner.   Below are the before and after pictures taken with my lovely cellphone!   Here is our closet before.  With everything shoved in and not exactly organized. But here's the thing we have a great closet.  As you can see once it is all empty.  The issue for me was the cheap shelving units and the way things were laid out.   So here is the new closet that the designer and I came up with!...

Happy Thursday this and thatters!  I hope you've had a rockin week and are ready for an even better weekend.  I've been crazy at work and am looking forward to some R and R on Saturday and Sunday! I hope you enjoy this edition of what's what!  xoxo 1.  Alexis Bittar Earrings I love, love me some alexis bittar!  I got a ring first, then a now necklace and finally these fabulous earrings.  I just love how beautiful and unique they are.  I know I will wear them all the time...day or night. 2.  Get Your Twitter On I love, love this fun necklace!  How cute is it that you can actually wear your twitter handle.  Mine is @coolcatpro so maybe the hubs can snag this for Valentine's Day for me :)  I just love, love how cute it is.  You can buy them at Bauble Bar! 3.  Faux Cartier Bracelet I have been obsessing over the gold cartier bracelet Kourtney Kardashain wears for years.  Sadly at a price of...

If you know me (even a little) you know that I have a big heart.  I think that's why I'm so sensitive, passionate and often times relatable.   Today I got a call from a very, dear, sweet friend who was upset.  Not the run of the mill upset but truly down in her bones hurt.  I was so upset for her and with her that I sat on the stairs in my house for 45 minutes and let her spill out her heart. The whole time she talked mine broke for her.  I searched for the right words but feel they fell short.  I listened but I know that what she is going through is the hardest kind of pain.  It is the inescapable hurt that no one can help you through but God and yourself.   I felt like I wanted to right her wrong and fix it but I know that I am not capable of that.  So I sat there feeling helpless while she pulled herself together using her incredible strength.   I've been thinking about her and a lot of my friends since then.  I thin...

Happy Friday beautifuls!   Are you super excited about the weekend ahead?   I am super jazzed about this edition of what's in my make up bag because I love, love this product!   I am also super excited because next week we will have a fabulous guest blogger sharing all her fav beauty tips in a special edition of what's in my make up bag.  She really is the cutest!  When I asked her to be a guest blogger she said she felt like a celebrity, ha.  Stay tuned for her post it's going to be fantastic! Happy weekend.  xoxo It's very rare that I find a product I love as much as this one!  It is also very rare that I will spend $70 on one product.  Hear me out before you judge me!  I actually only spent $20 on this product as I had a $50 Nordstrom gift card.  I read about this product several times before actually giving it a try!  And when T&C featured it this month I broke down and bought it.   If you are like me ...
