Spring Wish List

Spring is just around the corner and

I have my eye on a few new things.

Here they are. 

Sisley-Paris Eye Contour Mask

I received a sample of this
and OMG! It works so well.
Dark circles be damned.

bracelet is. Thinking about adding it

to my collection.

How fab would this top be 

for spring? Throw on a blazer

and you are all good.

Kate Spade Mini Wallet

I have an obsession with mini wallets.

These are perfect for running errands

and not carrying around a big wallet.

I love these shoes so much and

could see myself wearing

them all the time and I just love the color.

As you can see my wish list is

too big but it is a bit pricey.

Champagne dreams on a beer budget.

Story of my life. haha

What's on your wish list??

Let me know, I love hearing from you!!

Write it Out

Smythson

My life ,while wonderful, can at times

be very stressful. I'm always working or on

the go, with little time for myself.  At times, I have found myself

surrounded by anxiety and stress. So much in fact, I developed

TMJ.  It was so bad and out of control that I actually broke 

my mouth guard.  My dentist, who is so fantastic, recommended 

that I start keeping a journal. Like you know Dear Diary, sort of thing. 

Being the jerk, that I am, was like "yeah ok, sure will try it." 

Didn't think it would work at all but my TMJ was so

bad, I was willing to give it a shot. 

For the past few months, every day or every other day, I take

a few minutes and write, whatever

pops into my head. Some days I write alot

and other days I don't.  Wouldn't you know that after a few weeks,

my TMJ was getting better and I was feeling so much better.

I was so stressed that I didn't even realize I was stressed.

I'm happier, more positive, and overall feel better.

So many great benefits, just by putting pen to paper.

If you suffer from anxiety or stress, try keeping a journal.

It will make you feel better. And for the times, when you don't have 

pen and paper, type some notes down in your phone. It works as well. 

How do you cope with anxiety and stress??

Let me know, I love hearing from you!!

Best, Marie 

Five on Friday

Woohoo, the weekend is here.

Let's get right to my Five for Friday.

{one}

It's Quiet Uptown-Kelly Clarkson, Hamilton Mixtape.

This song is hauntingly beautiful

and I have been listening to it non-stop.

{two}

This is Us

Hands down one of the BEST shows EVER!

If you are not watching it, you are completely missing out.

Watch it.  It will make you laugh, it will make you

hard ugly cry that may give you an asthma attack but

it is so worth it!! It's one of the few shows

that really truly shows you real life. Just watch it!!

Blush Slip On Sneakers

How great are these slip on sneakers??

I saw them when I was at Target and knew I had to have them.

The color is so pretty and they are really comfortable.

Perfect for spring!!

The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton

I just finished this book and loved it. It is a story inside a story

that will keep you guessing until the end. It's about a little girl who

was abandoned and taken in by a family. It wasn't until her 

21st birthday that she finds out the truth. She spends her adult life 

trying to find out who she really is and why she was abandoned. 

I could hardly put this book down.

One of the best books, I have read in awhile.

You learn more from failure than success.

Don't be afraid of failure.

That is my Five for Friday.

This weekend I'm going for eyelash extensions.

I already had them and only one person noticed them.

I don't think they stand out on me because I wear

glasses. haha. We shall see.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!!

What caught your eye this week??

Let me know, I love hearing from you!!

Best, Marie 

Back at it...2017

Well well well, look who is back!! It's been a crazy past few weeks months.

But I will get into that in a minute.

How are you?? Well, I hope!!

Let me back track a bit. Things went a bit crazy in December.

First I got sick, it started as a simple cold but turned into one of those miserable

lingering colds that just wore me down. Then things at work sort of exploded.

Then my blog address expired. It was as if everything that could go wrong, 
did go wrong!!  

Long story short about my blog, there was a payment issue with
 my auto-renew. It took a few weeks to straighten it all out. After many many
 emails, phone calls and angry tweets (which work really,really well), I finally 

FINALLY go my blog back up  and running.

Lesson learned, I totally need to pay better attention to my emails.

I did think about giving this up and throwing in the towel but what I learned these
 weeks away,was I do LOVE blogging and I am not ready to give it up.
 I absolutely love the blogging community and all of you. Plus,it's a nice distraction
 from all the madness going on in my life. I am happy to report, things at work

have settled back to almost normal and I'm working on getting healthy. 

Now, tell me what have you been up to??
New year, treating you well??

Best, Marie
