peonies of you please

fluffy clouds. soft sheets, romantic. all words i use when i descibe this favorite of mine. sure roses, daisies, even lilies are pretty. but to me, a peony is unlike any other. its unique. weather open or closed, its pillow-like petals will always put a smile on my face making this a forever favorite.

i found the secret

'victoria' may have a lot of 'secrets' up her sleeve, but i found my favorite 'secret' a few years ago. as i helped a friend on her wedding day i noticed how good her hair smelt. she showed me what she had used which was victoria's secret So Sexy shampoo and conditioner. ever since then, it has been a favorite of mine. though i dont use it everyday, once in a while i whip it out and wonder if anyone notices. and like i noticed my friends hair, quite a few have. in fact everytime i would use it, a "certain someone" could always tell. my advice...just be careful. we dont want victoria to know we found her secret. shhhhhhhh

yum yum

this little favorite of mine is something i can't resist. ever go to chick-fil-a? who cares if they have great chicken and waffle fries when you could savor one of these. the only bad part is they are only offered for a limited time; ususally around christmas. better hurry.....

need i say more?...

being 'tickled' always makes me smile

your stranded on a deserted island and you are allowed to bring one cosmetic item with you.....what do you choose? for me...its Neutrogena lip gloss titled 'Tickled'. years ago while browsing a magazine there was an article of an actress i was reading about. normally i dont notice things like the specific makeup the person is wearing but for some reason, this lip gloss stuck out. its been in my purse ever since. there isnt a day that goes by that i dont use it at least once. if your looking for a fun new lip gloss, i recommend being 'tickled.'

(for my mom)

meet the newest part of me. after 2 trips, its finally perfect. its little, pink, feminine, and a small statement with such large meaning. i've always been grateful for my mom. but, this specific memory left quite the mark. though a bit painful to endure...i must say, mrs becky blake is worth it.

the best gifts are the ones with years of memory behind them

(for sommer)

some people may think this is just a cutting board shaped like a whale. which it is. but not me. this was a christmas gift from my best friend since the 3rd grade. i loved this gift for so many reasons. if you know me at all, i dont have to explain what the whale shape means. she knows...i know...willy lives on. the way i look at it, who wouldnt want a whale shapped cutting board?

i go where you go

ever purchase something you're not quite sure you'd actually use? i did. my lap desk was an after college buy when there was no need for a desk. i must admit, i use it just about everyday. its portable, light, and useful for so much. computer-ing, crafting, letter writing, anything you'd like. a cheap/useful favorite of mine.
