creature of habit...glazed salmon with green beans and riceEasy for a creature of habit. For vegetables I make either salad, asparagus, broccoli, spinach or green beans. These are the only things that my family likes. For meats/seafood I buy salmon, chicken, ground turkey, sea bass, shrimp or scallops. We don’t like tilapia anymore. I pretty much make the same things in rotation. I’ll try to come up with something interesting soon. Have a great weekend everyone!

personalThis year I’ve learned that if someone is directing negative energy at you, not take it personal. Even if it is personal don’t take it personal because it’s not your issue. They are so many women that can’t hold their game face together when it’s time to face the world so they take it out on whomever they see. I use to just give them whatever they give me, but I know that God is love and I always have to show love. If I give them an attitude just because they have one I’m changing my energy channel into a negative one. I’ve also started to notice when you’re kind regardless of the way others act, they come around and apologize. If this person is your friend pull them to the side and speak to them, and if it’s not don’t waste space in your brain trying to figure this person out!!!

We all have problems, but its not right to carry them with you wherever you go. I could be going through the worst thing ever, but I’m going to comb my hair get dressed and step out of the house with a smile. If it’s that bad I’ll stay in bed, pray and sleep until I can get it together.  Never should we carry negative energy and put it upon someone else just because we’re having a bad day. Lesson learned.

My Daughters Birthday

daughterThis weekend was crazy, yet still fun. We celebrated my daughters birthday. We went go cart riding and since I’m such a big kid I had a blast. I hope she has the best day ever. I’m so proud of the little person she has become.;)

cleanse

cleanse

My friend recommended me to do this cleanse and boy was it a challenge. I normally do a two day fast to pray and clear my mind whenever I’m making a huge decision, but it’s from sun up to sun down. With that fast I at least get to eat at the end of the day so it helps me get through. I didn’t know how I was going to pull this one off, but I did it! And I must say I did feel a sense of accomplishment once I was finished. I will try to do this 3/4 times a year. It was a little pricey, but in the end it was worth it.

I lined them up so they can look more appealing. It was hard to get a juice instead of food.

I had to get creative in the end. This almond drink  was the treat of the every evening. It was like desert. I felt like it wasn’t enough so I blended it with ice to make a smoothie. Not sure if this was affecting the cleanse, but by the last day I could care less:) Here’s the info on Pressed Juicery if you’re interested. Have a great weekend loves.

 I got to relax this weekend so I took full advantage of that. I wore this dress to dinner on Saturday night. I went to one of my favorite steak houses, Mortons. I had the bone end rib-eye steak, spinach salad, and truffle french fires. I try to eat whatever I want, enjoy myself and not think to much about calories on nights like these. I work out and watch what I eat during the week, so I deserve a splurge every now and then. Did I mention I had key-lime pie for dessert, yeah I went all out! Have a great day.

I apologize for the short post, but I’m working with two clients at once so my day will be extremely busy. I also have a  two big projects coming up so I will post as much as I can;).

I’m decorating my friend’s office and it’s really fun! I don’t think I’ll be doing it regularly, but it’s nice for someone to respect your taste enough to trust you to design their space. She always gives me props:). Have a great day everyone. I’ll see you soon!

This is a perfect gift to send your friend for Valentine’s Day. They always make you feel so appreciated with all the extra goodies they send you along with your flat iron.

These cute teddy bears were so cute. I gave them to my girls…

After I use these Hana Elite Flat Irons a couple times I’ll let you know how they work.

“The power of “can’t”: The word “can’t” makes strong people weak, blinds people who can see, saddens happy people, turns brave people into cowards, robs a genius of their brilliance, causes rich people to think poorly, and limits the achievements of that great person living inside us all.”  ~Robert T. Kiyosaki

Touchstone CrystalTouchstone Crystal recently partnered up with Swarovski  to introduce their new jewelry line. When they contacted me and told me I was chosen to be their Valentine I was thrilled. I was able to chose this reversible, engraved friendship necklace. It’s from their City Collection. It’s very dainty, yet still has a little edge to it. It also has a positive message in the back, so to carry that with me adds a special yet unexpected touch. I just might buy a matching necklace for my best friend for Valentine’s day. I love it!
