Fab Fashion Tip!

Even if you stay at home, make an effort to dress everyday as if you are going out. This changes your whole approach to even the most mundane household chores. You will find you have a more positive attitude and are less inclined to be reduced to a couch potato, in your slovenly sweat pants and baggy T-shirt.

Fab Beauty Tip!

To create great lashes, use a lengthening mascara for your first coat and a volumizing formula for your second. Who says you need false lashes!

Fab Health Tip!

Eat vegetarian more often. Try to eat one meatless meal each day and see how you feel. If you can feel a difference then increase your vegetarian meals to twice a day and so forth.

The Forecast For Spring And Summer: Brights!

If you have been perusing any websites or magazines you have surely seen the fashion trend this year is bright colors.  Can we say YES!  I love brights.  I get that feeling like I’m relaxing on a Caribbean Island.  Here are a few things I found I love:

Hope everyone has a bright and wonderful day!

A Day At The Salon And Purple Hair!

Ok it is day 2 of my “staycation” and so far so good.  Today I had an appointment to get my hair done so I thought that I would also treat myself to a manicure but this was not meant to be.

The first thing that went haywire is that I had an allergic reaction to the hair dye.  This hasn’t happen before but the timing is weird since I just talked to my doctor last week and he wants me to get allergic testing for other reasons.  Anyway, the color was taken off quickly and the redness and itching quickly went away but I was left with PURPLE hair!  Oh yes – purple!  Thank goodness it wasn’t all of my hair but the area was pretty extensive.  And again this is something that hasn’t happened before.  My stylist admitted that she tried to do something new since we fight to color some pretty stubborn gold streaks in my hair that aren’t complimentary.  Well, she was able to get most of the purple out except for some very minor pieces next to the scalp so everything is okay and I thought it was kinda of cool at first.  I have never had hair color out of the norm.

So day 2 of vacation time turned into an adventure.  Have you had any hair mishaps that now you can look back on and laugh?  Thank goodness I’m already able to laugh at this one!

Sending big hugs!

PS I did get a picture but decided I better keep it to myself!  :))

My “Staycation” Has Begun!

Have you ever just wanted to go on vacation, just get away from it all but for some reason the timing, finances, family issues or just something has kept you from making that dream a reality?  Well that is where I am right now.  I REALLY wanted to fly the coup for awhile but for certain reasons I can’t.  So I decided that I am going to take a “Staycation”.

For those of you who don’t know, a “Staycation” is a vacation where you stay at home instead of traveling to a distant faraway place.  I actually prepared for my adventure just as I would any regular vacation.  I made sure the clothes were cleaned, I had all toiletries and medicine, books to read, iPad for games and such, camera for taking pictures everyday, journal to write my deepest thoughts and of course I stock up on my favorite foods!  So hopefully I’m set.

Today was a small challenge when I woke.  I didn’t know what to do at first but then realized that I scheduled for someone to clean my house so I didn’t have to.  WooHoo!  And since today is my wedding anniversary, plans were set in motion for a relaxing afternoon with my hubby and a nice dinner.  In my book this made for a wonderful first day of my “Staycation”.

So why am I blogging?  Because I just love being and learning all about the internet, blogging and the computers!  Even if I was in a car traveling to parts unknown, I would find a signal to be able to blog.  Now I know that might sound strange for someone who hasn’t written in over a month but things have been a bit crazy around my home but I’m finally making time to write because I just like sharing things I find on the web and from my own life.

If anyone has done a “Staycation” before, I would love to hear your thoughts and things you did during your time off.  I’m all for any pointers to make this the best Vacation!

Hugs to All!

My beautiful anniversary flowers from my wonderful husband!  He is simply the best!

Yeah – It’s Spring!

Wow, it is hard to believe that spring is here.  And in full force!  I love the springtime: birds chirping, everything is green, flowers everywhere and the beach is calling my name.

Hope everyone is having a Happy Spring!

Creative Manicures! Nail Polish Art!

I have been fascinated lately about all the wonderful nail art I see on the web!  There are some really talented people out there and so creative.  Here are a few design I found that I just love!

I love doing my own nails but haven’t quite mastered just a plain polish job.  These pictures give my inspiration to try something new.  Maybe this weekend???

Sending **hugs*!!!
