H54F and Nail Files

Linking up with Tara for The Nail Files and Lauren at for High Five for Friday

First, a reminder to enter my nail polish giveaway here.  Only 12 hours left!

1. We went to Gabriella's and had this "magic, no calories" banana split.  Nothing short of amazing!  More on that restaurant later.


2. I have decided on these flowers for my flower garden.  They are called Lantana flowers.  I love them!  I can't wait to get them planted!


3. I got my Josie Maran Self-Tanning Body Wash in!!  I have to say - I friggin' love this stuff!  It's a body wash...that tans you.  So you can use it in the shower and wash it off after 30 seconds.  This is great because you don't have that yucky smell.  It comes with a long-handled loofah so you can get your back instead of having your husband, your friend, or neighbor doing it.  That's just awkward.  You can order yours from QVC here.  Just search "Josie Maran Body Wash".  I am also loving this self-tanner.


4. Cristin and I went for mani's and pedi's last night.  I haven't had a professional mani/pedi in over a year!  It was well overdue.  I chose an Essie purple (can't remember the names) for my toes and an Essie grey for my nails.  Then she added a China Glaze glitter.  Love.

5. On May 20th, Moore, Oklahoma got hit by the bitch we call Mother Nature when an F5 tornado touched down on a 20 mile path.  Winds were over 200 mph.  My "H54F" part is that it is absolutely amazing how my fellow Oklahomans have came together and are doing everything that needs to be done.  Donating, sorting, delivering, comforting, hugging, wiping tears, praying, and whatever else will help with rebuilding this community.  Kevin Durant, OKC Thunder player, said it best when he said "The sun will shine again." 

6. Bonus:  I got a new position wihin my company!!  I am SO excited!  I start on the 3rd of next month and I CANNOT wait.  It has been a long time coming.  There is a ridiculous amount of drama and lies and backstabbing and pettiness (I could go on and on..and on - but I will refrain) in the department that I am currently in and basically, I'm over it.  My poor hubby gets an ear full every night and I'm positive he has started to tune me out.  :)  I've been looking for a new position for about a year now and I think I have finally found the perfect one!  You know that feeling you get after ending a really bad relationship and then you find Mr. Right - it's kinda like that.  Everyone seems extremely nice and welcoming.  And they even have a Keurig in the office...not too shabby!  Downside, I won't have my personal office anymore but at least I will be happy going to work every morning and I will be making a little more cashola so I think I will be ok without an office!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn

A Batman Wedding and a $9 Wedding Dress

I was on this blog today and she was talking about how women spend so much money on wedding dresses.  It reminded me of my wedding and then I realized I've never blogged about it!!!  It's already been a year and half and I still haven't even scrapbooked it!!!  Where does the time go? Ok...to the dress.  I knew exactly what I wanted.  I wanted it to be short, satin, and a "pick-up" style dress.  I looked around at David's Bridal and other stores but I just couldn't see spending more than $100 on my dress.  (I've been married before and had the big, fancy wedding - and we see how well that worked out!!)  So this time, I wanted a small wedding and didn't want to spend much.  I walked into Ross one day looking for something else and decided to walk through the dresses to look for a dress for my sis, the MOH.  It was like the clouds opened up and the angels were singing and the sun beamed down on this dress.  You can't really tell from this pic,
