The Vintage Pearl

After wanting one forever, I finally got a Vintage Pearl Necklace. It was my Valentine's present. It came a little late because David had originally bought me a yoga workshop weekend for Valentine's but unfortunately, I had to get a refund on that because it was the same weekend as the Color Me Rad 5K (more on that later).

As nany of you know, I absolutely hate making decisions! Basically because I want everything and can't decide which I want the most. This would explain my shoe and Bath and Body Works problem. Or any shopping problem for that matter.

I was in the Vintage Pearl shop a little over an hour. I walked from charm to charm, necklace to necklace, and finally called my hubby, who was patiently waiting in the car, in to help me decide. And when I say "patiently waiting", I mean he only sent two texts asking what I was doing and how much longer it was going to be.

I felt weird picking out my own necklace - it would've been easier for someone to actually pick it out FOR me. Plus, we don't have kids so I couldn't recreate a lot of the examples in the store. BUT, we do have a furbaby and when I saw this dog bone, I knew I had to have it. I also wear both white and yellow gold, depending on the day, so I chose to mix the two metals. The bone is a pewter color and everything else is yellow gold. I did two basic circles with our names and of course, a pearl. Thought from David "You are putting our names on there? Don't we know our own names?" - gotta love him.

Another thought from David when I had the bone in the middle.... well just use your imagination. Boys will be boys. So I put the bone on the outside so it wouldn't look so inappropriate. :)

I love how it turned out!

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

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC. Yes, it's true. I have apparently been living under a rock. In a bubble. Something!! I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try. And O.M.G. I am so glad I did. Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh! 4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29??? It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!! I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty! They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers. I guess I should've gotten a picture but I was more focused on getting some makeup on my fac

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this. Let's talk about hair. I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love. I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see! Embarrassing subject? Yep!! I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now. One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!! There, I said it. Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation. Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this. Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it. And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue. I seriously could join a circus, people. Ok, maybe it's not t
