Friday Favorites

Happy Friday. 4th of July is my favorite Holiday so I'm excited for this weekend.

Decor-I ordered this wreath online from Walmart. It's a little Old lady tacky, but I like it. It reminds me of a fairyland.

Decor-I got this cool Sugar skull pillow for my birthday. It looks great on my loveseat in my office.

Body care-The free birthday gift from Sephora. I've been using the Coco Cabana cream a lot. It's new to me.

Skin care-I received a sample of Olay Regenerist. I used it for a few weeks & that made me want to go buy it. I got it the other day. Since I just turned 50 I can use all the help that I can get.

Have an awesome Holiday weekend.

Tasty Tuesday-Cathy's Strawberry Cake

 Cathy's Strawberry Cake

 Ingredients:

BOX white cake like this

 A 16 oz of Whipping Cream

And a whole box of Powdered sugar.

I think it’s the 16 oz box too.

 

 

 

 Directions:

 

Make the cake as directed.

Pour the whipped cream carton and the box of powdered sugar into a CHILLED METAL BOWL. I would put a bowl and beaters in the freezer while the cake is baking. All you need to do is make the whipped cream which takes some patience since you need to whip it until it won’t slide off the spoon anymore. Frost, add your strawberries and you’re done!!! Good luck!!!

 

Goals for my new year

I would like to change a lot of things in my 50th year of life. Mostly about myself & how I react to things & how much I think & worry about things. I'd like to be a calmer more confident person. Having anxiety makes you feel like you don't have confidence. I'd like to get my anxiety under control & get people to listen to me more in life. My thoughts, ideas & opinions matter too. I also want to spend more time being creative & find people with like minds to be friends with.

It's my Birthday

Turning 50

So I'm turning 50 in a few days. I'm not going to change anything since I'm 50. I'm still going to have my hair long, painted fingernails & toes, wear graphic tee shirts, lots of jewelry & make up. I want to keep doing my fave hobbies & do more crafting. I would like to do more exercise. Find a 20 minute pilates routine that I like or yoga. I can't say I'm happy about turning 50, but there's nothing you can do. The day is going to come & I will survive it.

Birthday freebies from Sephora

Had my ear pierced again

Earlier this year I was thinking of having my ear pierced in May. They finally just opened piercing places here the past week or 2, so I went today & had my tragus pierced. It's the piercing near my cheek kind of. I had it done years ago, but it never healed right & I kept getting blood blisters. So I took it out after 11 months. I had the other side done 3 years ago this month. I still want a few more piercings.
