Spring Fever - Part 2

This is the second part to my Spring Fever series. I'm a HUGE accessories girl and I never leave home without at least 2 or 3 items daily! This post speaks for itself with this being my essential items for the transition to Spring. I have most of these staples in my closet and they have truly gotten me through the Spring and lasted for years. Outside of me wanting a new pair of rain boots (HUNTER boots come to me!) I would like to invest in another trench. They are timeless and classic. I have the traditional beige color as well as a kelly green. I would like a sunny yellow or maybe a navy to go with my shiny red Hunter boots ( I will have them) I love the cutesy ones with the raindrops though. Tip: Amazon has amazing rain boots in so many styles for great prices.

Valentine's Day Treats

It's a snowy day here in the DMV and I enjoyed being lazy all weekend long. I already had the day off yesterday and today was an added bonus due to the snow. I hope everybody is all warm and toasty and being careful if you're out and about. Valentine's Day came and went as do all the holidays and I didn't do alot. I hung out with my family and we grabbed some brunch at a restaurant in DC. I made some chocolate strawberries for home and my cousin requested I make some for her romantic weekend. They really are easy to do. Enjoy!

FYI- If anybody would like to place an order please let me know. I will soon be posting more pics of my cake pops and strawberries, so if you would like some for an upcoming event please do not hesitate to email me. Thanks!

These are a combination of milk and white chocolate garnished with mini chocolate chips and nuts.

The kids loved them!

Didnt get to get a good pic of them before I packaged them up. This was after my cousin opened them. They're in a large champagne glass.

Spring Fever - Part 1

This posting will be one of a three part series I'll be doing. I plan to use this as a layout for my spring and possibly summer shopping. The outfits were created in Polyvore and some of the items selected will be more budget friendly to suite my funds (lol). Although, I would;nt mind having a nice pair of yellow Louboutins! Anywho.. hope you enjoy!

Winter Wants

Winter is definately here and we have had one round of snow so far. Nothing serious but then again, it's just Jan. 13! With that being said, I've been "needing" (lol) these winter items. Sales have been pretty fierce lately because I know the spring stuff is getting ready to make waves on the racks. BUT... before they do, I would like to have a few of these items. Or all!


North Face are always a good idea when you're dealing with temps below 30 degrees! Nordstrom has a few on sale right now!


Hunter Rainboots ( These come in so many colors and you can get the inserted socks for added warmth. Im loving these red high gloss ones or navy)

UGG slippers (WHO doesnt look a comfy pair of slippers and as much as I love the boot the slipper will have me wearing it all day long in the house)


THESE.. not your traditional Ugg boot but I like that they're wearable in the snow unlike the other ones. A little rugged for some probably but I can work with these for sure.


Love this little knit hat with the kitty ears!

That is all!

Realistic 2015 Goals

Happy New Year! It's the 13th day of the new year, which means that we're halfway through this month already. The last few weeks of December I had already began to do a little reflecting about last year. The things I did and didn't do, the things that I did that I didnt like, and the things that I would change for 2015. The main thing was to keep a positive attitude about life in itself. Too many times last year, did I complain about things in my life. The lack of time, money, etc. No longer will I do that because I know that I am blessed to have all I have and to be thankful for the place Im in at that moment. I know I have the power to change things around me and the choices I make reflect that. I will stay away from negativity in all aspects because all that does is just bring you down. I wont go into specifics because this post is just meant to be a short note for my  goals.

 Stay away from negativity and having a positive outlook (things could be a lot worse!)
 Making better financial decisions
 Incorporating healthier food choices ( it'd be silly to say Im gonna stop eating fast food, because I know I honestly wont)
 Finish my degree (I'm 4 classes away)
 Travel more ( even if I cant get to Paris, I'll be traveling at least 3-4 times this year)
 Potty train my son (YES.. this is a goal because he will be 3 this year!)
 Spend more time with my husband (this is a struggle because we sometimes dont have time without the kids but we are willing to sacrifice)

Again, just a short list of some main things I've been working on. I have other things that I will be doing as well, but mostly those are at the top of my list. Each of these things will help me stay focused on what's really important in my life.
