Hello Hello Hellooooo! Happy Summer! Our favorite Summer pastime is CAMPING and I wanted to share this year’s family camping adventure with all of you! We go to a TOP SECRET campsite located on the Clackamas River in Oregon’s Mt. Hood National Forest. If you follow HWY 224 (aka 211, I don’t know why it has 2 names) SE past Estacada, you will come to a corridor of several National Forest Campgrounds all along the Clackamas River. Most of…
Welcome to my ipsy Glam Bag – June 2017 share & review! I think this month’s products include some of my favorites all year! I am loving-loving-loving the gorgeous eye shadow (I use it as a liner) and the neon nail polish shade is so perfect and on trend for summer and lots of fun to wear! I’ve gotten tons of compliments from wearing this month’s products! Thank you ipsy!
Another School year has come to a close and what a whirlwind this year has been! I can’t believe my family begins Summer Break as of TOMORROW, when I am just barely adjusting to the fact they started the school year at all. I somehow turned 42 a few days weeks ago, yet I specifically remember turning 41 just a couple months back. Apparently I’ve started a Boutique. In my HOUSE! NO idea how I managed to do THAT! And…
Welcome to my Introvert’s Guide To Weight Loss Success! This is a post that I began writing back in JANUARY and am just NOW getting it completed and posted (aaagh!). The written portion was what I originally wrote (in Jan) and the Video portion I did this week (deep in MARCH). I like to do both because for me it’s fun, and for you, some of you like video while others prefer to read! My video contains much of…
I’ve done a little post-holidays clothes shopping and came away with some awesome new style finds to share with all of you! A LulaRoe Haul & Review! I absolutely looove my new pieces, so much so, I just MIGHT have picked up a few more in the days since filming this video! They have addiction warnings on this stuff for a reason, yo. And I had never understood because I hadn’t ever drank from the LulaRoe Kool-aid. I had resisted…
Hello and a belated Happy Holidays to you! I actually started this post in the MIDDLE of the Holiday Season and now I sit in the last days of Winter Break, brain in a hibernational fog (inventing words, it seems), trying to finish what I started before the clock strikes New Year! …I’m still working on the holiday cards, too. sigh ADD-Time Management Issues are AWESOME! Anyway, I know it’s late but I HAD to complete this post for my…
Grief. It envelopes me like a velvet cloak, it’s dark, heavy weight covering every part of my life. I try to escape it. For short moments of time, at least. But it doesn’t last. I try to flip it. I find ways to make it more positive, uplifting, a potential for growth. But it just drags me back, to the darkness of long unresolved childhood scars and memories. Since I was 12 years old, my relationship with my mom has been…
