Motivational Monday

Seeing so much negativity and sadness lately,
I wanted to start the week on a positive note.

Hence, I thought I would do a post on some of my favorite 
motivational quotes.

Whenever I'm feeling out of sorts or such,
I  like to read motivational quotes.
There is something very comforting about them.

Happy Monday!

Let me know, I love to hear from you!!

Friday Five



I cannot believe that this is the last Friday
in February. Is time just flying by or is it me?
I cannot believe March is next week.
Crazy! 

Here is my Friday Five.

{one}

Out of the Woods by Taylor Swift

I have never been a huge fan of Taylor Swift's 
music but I'm loving all her new stuff.
This song is so catchy and I have
been playing it non-stop.

19 Things Non-Twins Will Never Understand
Can you tell us apart??
Jenn sent me this on Monday and I couldn't stop
laughing. Do yourself a favor and read the article. 
It's hilarious and oh so true.
No. 17 is my favorite.

Galentine's Day Blogger Exchange



I love blogger exchanges because I love meeting new bloggers.
I'm not sure who got me because there was 
no card in the package but I loved my gift.
I'm in love with the body scrub, it smells so good.
Thank you so much for the gift, it was awesome!

Boston Accent Trailer- Late Night with Seth Meyers

This is a wickah hilarious skit of the Boston accent.
I DO NOT sound like this.
Ok, ok, maybe a little.
I do say wickah (wicked to you) alot.

That wraps up my Friday Five.
I'm off today, spending time 
with some friends.
The time off is much needed.
Working six days a week gets tiring 
after a while. Thankfully, I have a
generous amount of vacation time to use.


Have a Wonderful Weekend


What are you loving this week??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!!

Confessions and What's Hap-Pinning


I confess
that I don't think I'm lady like at all.
This is a great article on how to be 
more elegant. It's really little things
that make one elegant. I'm gonna try
but I can't promise anything.
Pinterest


I confess
that I HATE my picture taken.
I just think I look horrible in pictures.
Whenever someone asks me to send a
picture, I panic because I absolutely 
hate almost every picture of me. 
Pinterest

I confess
that I shower at night so that I can sleep 
a little longer in the morning. I wish I had 
discovered this trick sooner.  It makes 
the mornings so much easier.
Pinterest

I confess
that I'm loving the color blush for spring.
Too bad, it looks horrible on me. 
I still love it. 
Pinterest

I confess
that I complain and get stressed out alot.
It finally hit me that I need to just get the courage 
and make a change. Complaining about it
will not change anything. It's action that I need to take.

Pinterest


Those are my confessions along with 
my favorite pins this week.


What are your confessions??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!!
Best, Marie

Snow

SNOW

It finally showed up here and I'm quite in love with it.
While it makes getting around difficult, it makes everything 
look so pretty.















How funny is that last one? 
People around her get quite creative when 
making snowmen!

Even though the snow makes it hard to get
around, I still love it and hope 
that we get a little more 
before the winter is over.
Yes, I'm crazy.

Are you a fan of snow??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!!
Best, Marie

Friday Five




Is it me or did this week fly by? 
Perhaps, it was because I had Monday off.
I blinked and it was Friday.

Let's get right to my Friday Five.


{one}

Defying Gravity by Aaron Tveit and Rachel Tucker

This is part of #OutofOz: Wicked studio sessions 
and it's absolutely incredible. I have been listening to 
it non-stop. I sort of wish they actually sold the song,
so I could add it to my iTunes. 
Plus, Aaron Tveit is a hottie!!



{two}

Golden Girls get Funko

I'm probably dating myself here, but I love The Golden Girls.
My grandmother was a huge fan of the show 
and I would watch the show with her.
I totally want the Sophia one.
Look how cute she is, she 
even has her purse with her.

Longchamp Le Piage Neo Tote bag in pink

Does this bag not just scream for me or what??
I saw it the other day at Neiman Marcus 
and was like oh no oh no. I'm on a shopping ban 
for the month but this bag is so tempting me. 
Seriously, isn't she beautiful??

Big Ang

I was devastated to learn that Angela "Big Ang" Railoa 
had passed away yesterday. I loved her on Mob Wives. I also watched
her on Couples Therapy and thought she and her husband, Neil
were adorable. She was larger than life.
May she rest in peace

That wraps up my Friday Five.
I got nothing planned 
for this weekend and that 
is fine with me. Although,
I do plan on getting a mani and pedi.
My hands and feet need some pampering.

I confess
that I love Ray Liotta.
His new show, Shades of Blue
is so freaking good. 
Pinterest

I confess
that I have been watching The People vs OJ Simpson 
even though the acting in it, is HORRIBLE!
Yet, I cannot stop watching.

 I confess 
that I sing like I'm on stage, 
when I'm in the shower.
In another life, I was a rockstar.

 and it doesn't even matter who's around. 
I have no filter or censor.
Pinterest


  I confess

 people listen to. My sister has terrible
taste in music.

Olivia Palermo & Chelsea28


I have a total girl crush on Olivia Palermo.
Her style is beyond amazing. I was thrilled
 to hear that she has her own clothing line
with  Nordstrom's Chelsea28.





The collection is just how I would imagine it would be. 
Classy yet functional.One could actually wear
 these pieces for work or for play. 

Visit Nordstrom for the full collection.

Who is your style crush on??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!!
Best, Marie

Friday Five



Yay for Friday!!
It was another long week
and I'm so happy that the weekend is here.
Work has been so draining lately and 
I look forward to my one day off a week.

Here is my Friday Five.

{one}

When We Were Young by Adele

I have been listening to this song
NON-STOP.
I cannot get enough of it. 
It's such a great song.


{two}

Cinderella Shoes

One of my favorite museum's is the Victoria and Albert Museum 
in London. I saw this in the e-newsletter that I subscribe to and
just had to share it. If you love Cinderella as much as I do,
you will love this video about her shoes.

GlamGlow YouthCleanse Daily Exfoliating Cleanser

I am so in love with this exfoliating cleanser.
It works so well and really makes my skin glow.
It helps make my skin brighter and softer.
However, it is on the strong side so I only 
use it a few times a week. It's too strong
for me to use everyday.
Neiman Marcus

Cotton Candy Champagne Cocktail

Do I even need to say anything else??
Doesn't this sound incredible??

Visit here for the recipe.
Lauren Conrad


{five}

Sometimes it is hard for me to put into
words how I feel. This quote pretty
much sums up how I have been feeling.
I had to share with all of you.


That wraps up my Friday Five.
I know it's Valentine's Day Weekend
and the single gal in me is ignoring it
as best I can. haha However, I do appreciate 
all the pink and hearts everywhere.

Have a Wonderful Weekend.

What are you loving this week??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!!
