Modern Military... New trend or has it always been around?


I'm lovin' the green!
So many wonderful shades to choose from. Inspired by army green and fashion, I put together this treasury "modern military". It never fails, I can browse through Etsy and find so many amazing and creative pieces that work with a specific theme. I remember working at the "Limited" in the mall around 96' and army green was in. I bought these awesome cargo pants... later turned them into shorts. Guess it's time to get back on board with this fashion trend.

Love Is All You Need


Fortunately, love I have.... time is what I need. These holidays seem to creep up and before I know it... Bam, I'm running around like a crazy lady. I am still brainstorming some ideas for my sweet love. I'm thinking a fancy homemade dinner. We're not a chocolate's kind of family but I think I can find a sweet and decadent dessert that will be one to remember. This might be the one Chocolate Pots De Creme with Cherry Whip.

You never know where inspiration will come from. But I can tell you one place full of inspiration is Etsy. That's where I go to get those creative juices flowing... even if it's just for planning a nice night in. Hope you find some sweet inspiration here. Etsy Treasury - Love is all you need!

It's never too late... to be the person you want to be!

This morning I woke up tired and sluggish. I know... we all have those days but, I pushed through and started my day out at the gym. Happy with myself but still feeling sluggish. So with a cup of coffee in hand I watched a recorded episode of "Biggest Loser". So inspirational and made me reflect on what I've done and how I've changed my life and my career. So today, I just wanted to take the opportunity to send a friendly reminder to all feeling a little sluggish in life, love or career...

It's never too late! 
Enjoy this lovely description from Cornflower Blue Studio:
It's never too late to be the person you want, travel to your dream destination, land that job, find love, make amends, change careers, be yourself, or be HAPPY! It's true, and I'm living proof! Just when you think you can't do what you want or be the person you want to be, you need to remind yourself that it's never too late. You just have to do it.

Good Fortune! - Sending some your way!

LUCKY Sterling Silver Leather Handmade Bracelet by Nicole Lorentz

Do you ever feel you're lucky? I do!
I collect fortune cookie fortunes and today's ... "Among the lucky, you are the chosen one." I don't mean lucky like winning the lotto but lucky in life. As they say, count your blessings... and I do! My good fortune doesn't just fall in my lap... I believe it comes from hard work, determination, putting yourself out there, ability to change, and believing in yourself. You can be lucky too! Here's to a great New Year!
