Wordless Wednesday-Dreaming of Summer

 

Friday Favorites. 1.22.21

 It's Friday again. I'm always so happy to see you Friday.

 

 1. Washi tape from Hobby Lobby. I wanted some new fun washi tape for letters, my planner & my journal. So I ordered these online.

2. Buxom mascara. This is my fave new mascara. It makes my lashes look a lot longer.

3. Faux plant. I'm a plant lady (real plants, not fake), but I recently redecorated my office & got rid of a few things, so I feel like I have empty spots. I saw this at Target & I think it looks pretty good for a fake plant. It was $5 in the dollar section.

 

4. Spending time with my daughter. She gets a venom shot every Friday. She gets the shot & we sit in the car for an hour & then she runs in & the nurse checks her arm. I have to be honest, it has been a pain going. We've been going since August & I think it will be until April. Most Fridays I'm busy doing housework & have to stop doing things to bring her, but it is giving us time to spend together. She just turned 13 & 1/2 yesterday. Time is flying by.

Have a happy weekend. Any plans?

Tasty Tuesday-Crunchy Salsa Chicken Bake

Friday Favorites 1.15.21

 I kept thinking that it was Tuesday last night, but it was Thursday night. I guess this week flew by.

1. One little word bracelet. I picked out the word Fearless because I have anxiety & I look at the bracelet & it makes me realize that I can do anything.

The back of the bracelet.

 

2. Scrapbook paper. I got this paper from Ebay. I saw it a while ago at Michaels & it was on sale real cheap, but they didn't have it in the store. I'm a big scrapbooker & still working on a few Christmas pages.

3. Cute cats. The cats were lazing getting some sun together today. They don't like each other much.

 

We haven't been up to much lately, but I feel like I need to start taking more photos.

Nail Files. Week # 369

 Today I have on OPI-Gelato on my mind. (blue) & Deborah Lipmann-Bad to the bone. I love the blue shade. So pretty.

Wordless Wednesday-New year, new photos

 

What I'm reading now.

 This book is cute so far. It's about a woman that is a widow. She owns a bookstore & meets with her other widow friends. They decide to do a list of twenty wishes. She wants to learn to knit, fall in love again & volunteers at a school. She meets an 8 year old girl named Ellen. She helps her work on her list & they both learn that wishes can come true.

Friday Favorites. 1.8.21

 It's been a while since I did a Friday Favorites. Even before the holidays. I'm so happy that it's Friday. I had a headache for 3 days at the beginning of the week & everything else that went on this week.

1. Bracelet. I picked out this bracelet for Christmas. It's an Alex & Ani bracelet. I love it.

2. Lush bear soap. My hubby got me this bear. It's so cute that I don't want to use it. It smells really good. Coconut & peppermint. The scent lingers after your shower too.

3.Mug. This mug is from Target & it's become my favorite. They had another 1 that said Cup of Cozy, but it was the same mug, same color & all, so I didn't get it.

4. Planner. I ordered this planner on Amazon. It's smaller than I thought it would be, but I love the cover because I love plants.

Have a nice weekend.

Wordless Wednesday-New Office Furniture

 

Monday/Weekly Motivation

 

2021 Goals

 1. Keep up with my scrapbooking pages & print photos once a month.

2. Color more.

3. Drink more water (I realized that I'm drinking only about 40oz of water a day. I have a tracker bottle).

4. Go to the dermatologist. (Back in January of 2020, I had planned on going to the dermatologist before I turned 50. So many other health things came up that I never made it there, but I will go in 2021).

5. Go to the gastro doctor. Also something I should have done in 2020, but didn't get to.

6. Get my Daith pierced on my right ear.

7. Change my stud on my tragus piercing that I had done in June of 2020. (I have to buy a stud & have them do it at the piercing place).

8. Design a tattoo of all of my fave things. I found a girl at a tattoo place near me that does awesome tattoos, so I want her to design a tattoo of my fave things. I might not get it for a few years, but I want to see what she comes up with.
