Decision Time

So here it is, here are the outfits I am considering wearing to the shower tomorrow. All of the outfits are made of things that have been hanging in the closet, alot of them have never been worn,I am going to try to really wear one of them, all I need from you are honest opinions.... please? 

White Lace Kimono with Black Pants 

Denim Swing Jacket with Rhinestone Embellishment worn with Bkack Pants

Cream and Seafoam Green Ombre Shirt with a Seafoam Green Tank and Dark Denim Jeans

 It is October but the weather tomorrow will be in the 80's so that is one more thing to take into consideration when making a the decision on what to wear.

Craziness

For a lot of people when you are in your twenties, life is either one of two ways... Crazy busy because you are really enjoying the social scene, or really boring because you don't really enjoy the social scene and/or you can't really afford that sort of lifestyle OR you just haven't found your rhythm in  life yet.  I remember my early 20's, I was usually bored, an occasional trip to the mall, work of course and a lot of watching TV. My late 20's was spent at work or at a bar. As I got older and I knew what I enjoyed and I gained some financial freedom and could afford to actually go places and spend money on true entertainment, I thought I would have more time to relax and have a routine. Now I am in my 40's, and I don't ever go to the bar, or watch much TV, yet I am not relaxing nor do I have a routine. I often think to myself, what happened! What is going on? 

Let me tell you about my life currently. I spend majority of my time either working or sleeping, no big surprise there, I am like the majority of the adults who live in the civilized world.  I also spend a whole of time cleaning and "doing chores" as I call them. You know the stuff  that gets done yet as a 20 something, you don't stop to think about who actually does these things....  making grocery lists, filling bird feeders, taking the family pet to the vet, pulling chicken from the freezer to make sure there is something to cook for dinner, putting out holiday decorations, cleaning the car, taking the trash down to the curb on trash day, picking up a birthday gift, planning a surprise birthday party, visiting your parents, visiting your niece who lives 2 hrs away. Yes, its true, in your 20's you assume a lot of things just happen, maybe miraculously (here is a little hint, I am pretty sure it was your mom or dad who did them and it had nothing to do with magic) These things are on top of the normal weekly items that get done in most households - dusting, mopping, cleaning the bathrooms, running the sweeper, grocery shopping, etc etc. I also spend a lot of time trying to not get old - planning and preparing healthy meals, meditating and exercising. My 40's definitely are a lot different then I thought they would be as far as having a routine and enjoying my relaxing time! Don't get me wrong, my life is pretty blessed; I have a wonderful fiance' and a great family, a good job and great health. So why am I telling you this? Why am I reminding or explaining to you how things go when you are in your 20's??  If i were in my early 20's right now and not in my early 40's I would have so much time to blog, somehow I really have lost the time to do what I love, to share all my thoughts, reviews and frustrations with you... Now that I have the knowledge, I don't have the hours, yet when I had the hours, I didn't have the knowledge, how is that for a twisted way of life. I always have such great intentions to write at least 3 times a week about something small that I found in the closet, but for reasons (filling bird feeders and making grocery lists) I have only been finding time 1 time a week. And usually its not even about me living off the closet. Its about my 20's! 

Here is my suggestion to you all, enjoy, live, love yourself, and take time to really do what makes you happy. I know I have to figure that out also, because working at work and working at home, doesn't make for a fulfilled life. Don't wait until your in your 70's or 80's and think " I wish i would have done more"  

The other thing I would suggest to you all is to just NOT GROW UP!   

I am making a promise to you today, I will be back on Friday Oct 14th with a post and I know exactly what the post will be about! I have a baby shower to go to on Sunday, it is at a steak house/restaurant, and I am not 100% sure what the dress code will be, so I am going to find a few things that I have in my closet and show you my outfit options and let you decide which ones to wear... I think I will show you 3-4 completely different outfits, and what ever one gets the majority vote, I will wear and I will show you all pictures of myself in the outfit at the shower. 

Have a great Wednesday!  

Going Thru the Closet

OK friends, I need your opinion!  

 I feel like I am overwhelmed. A part of me just wants to go thru all the closets, sell what I can, and give the rest away. My whole plan was to keep everything I have and use it instead of buying more, but to be honest,  I just want the clutter to be gone!!! script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js">

I don't want mountains and piles of stuff, whether it usable or not, I just don't want it. 
I want to declutter and to simplify!  



I want to a fresh start, I want to be a different person. Financially and emotionally! I want to not need stuff to make me feel better. I want to feel good all on my own! 

 Let me know what you think? Do I just trash all the stuff I have, or do I keep it and try to use it???

I need your opinions!

P.s. A puppy nose to make you smile!  

Taco Tuesday

Today is National Taco Day!  Yeeaah, for those of you who loves tacos!  I myself am a taco lover, however I really have to be craving one in order to truly enjoy it and I am just not feeling it today! 

National Taco Day ! October 4th!  

So lets talk about my Fall Bucket List!  

I got to cross a few things off the list, unfortunately I still have a long ways to go.. Hopefully I can get it all done before Fall is over. 

I want to tell you all about the ones I got done. 

I went to a pumpkin patch! Will and I went and we got pumpkins, hay bales, mums and kettle corn! It was a lot of fun. We went to get all of our fall decorations for the front of the house. It looks amazing!  We also went into a haunted bus and a corn maze at the pumpkin patch. It was a really great time at the fall fest!  

Me at the Fall Fest - Pumpkin Patch!  

I have been burning my fall candles for a while now. I am burning a really awesome one, called "FALL into Love", it smells like Fall, but not too sweet or to rich. It has a hint of green apple, some sage and thyme and maybe some cedar wood scents?  I bought my candle at Kohl's.  Sonoma - Fall Into Love Jar Candle

Every morning I go for a walk before work, in the dark. It is usually around 5 am, and I absolutely love it. The quietness, the darkness, the beginning of a new day! What really is awesome about these walks are when its clear out, you can see all the stars in the sky, they are gorgeous. I usually take 5- 10 mins to just gaze at them! Its a sight like no other!  


This week I am going to bake some Pumpkin Bread to take my niece when my mom and I go to visit on Sunday! One more thing ill be able to mark off the list. 

Sunday Funday!

Sunday has always been a bittersweet kind of day for me. I love the idea of one day of the week being a rest day, a relaxing, do what makes you happy kind of day. However it also means that tomorrow is back to work day, and more often than not, I still have household "chores" to do, and the thought of going back to work with out all the cleaning or errand running done, makes me kind of sad. Today is super bitter sweet because I am off work tomorrow but its because of a funeral I have to attend. My Uncle Bob passed away on Thursday and it was some what unexpected, so as happy as I am that I am off work  tomorrow, I am sad that the reason I am off is for a funeral. 

Now on to some exciting closet stuff, Yeahhh!  

I found 2 products in my closet that I have been using  the  last few weeks, and  I want to share them with you.

These two items have made a significant difference. My face feels so soft and it also looks younger! Honest to goodness!  I am hooked on these! 

The products are from a line called Posh.

I ended up with these items because my niece is a consultant for the company and I can't lie, I only bought them to help her out but now I am so in love with them.

So the first item I am using and loving is called "Never Grow Old".  It is a serum and I use it 2 times a day; I use it in the morning under my moisturizer and at night after I wash my face before bed. One of the many things I love about this product is the way it smells... I love it! It is full of healthy essential oils that are just fabulous! 

The other item I am using regularly is called "The Healer" it is a skin stick and I also use this on my face, however this can be used anywhere your skin needs a little TLC.
I have used it on dry elbows and heels, I have put it on bug bites, itchy rashes,  etc. It is really awesome.

This is a do it all skin stick, you can use it anywhere you need some TLC

I have roscea, and I struggle daily with redness on my cheeks. I usually have to load up on foundation to cover it and not feel self conscience but with these products the redness is so minimal I can get away with a very normal amount of makeup.

  

I am going to show you two pictures of my face, one before using the items and one after and ill let  you decide if they work!  

I know that the pictures aren't in the same clothes and my hair isn't done the same, but one is before and one is after. I promise!  

Before I started using Posh products.  

After using Never Grow Old and The Healer.

So I highly encourage anybody who is looking for some really great products to look into Posh. I put a link to my nieces website below, she is an excellent consultant and she will be more than happy to help you figure out what product is best for you and hook you up with all the best sales, deals, etc. 

Kaitlyn's Posh Site. 

I believe to be 100% happy and healthy you need to take care of yourself! Eating well, getting some activity and relaxing and decompressing!  

Posh carries so many things to help you relax and look fabulous! 

P.S.  friends, I am starting on my Fall Bucket list today... Ill update you all tomorrow!
