Everything has beauty.....

We all have so much beauty because of our differences :-)
So many people have inspired me to be creative today....I only hope one day I can instill inspiration to another person.
Being a hair designer, this is such a cool quote and opens up so many doors of being an artist.
Such truth to this......




Happy Tuesday loves....and remember, stay tuned for tomorrow's big project reveal and for more info check out the amazing Kelly @ MessyDirtyHair


Peace,

Crash into me...celebrating 5 years of marriage with my love.....

Hi lovers and Happy weekend xoxo

I am interrupting this regularly scheduled Friday music jams list.  Today is a special day!  It marks my husband Eric and I's 5 year wedding anniversary.  I love this man unconditionally and he is the best friend I could ever ask for.  Marriage can definitely have its ups and downs, but we have come so far in our relationship and honestly I cannot imagine my life with out him in it!  Our song that meant the most to us and gave me goosebumps will always be......

1. Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me

This was our "Vogue" serious pose....hehe!

This was the best day of our lives....I get teary eyed just thinking on how much happiness and love were surrounding us that day.  We had our close families and a few close friends witness and it was so simple but perfect!

We married in Savannah, Georgia and that magical place will always be so close to our hearts.

Happy Anniversary babe, I love you!

I am excited to get messy with The Messy Project!!!!

Happy Thursday friends, almost the weekend again and I ain't complaining!!!

I am stoked to be part of a project called "The Messy Project".  It's a monthly project that is featured each month at the amazing Kelly from MessyDirtyHair's blog.  It features 4 other bloggers (5 if you include Kelly) and she chooses an article of clothing whether it'd be a blouse, a dress, a pair of pants and she does not tell you what she chooses.  You receive the item of her choice and it's up to each of us to step outside of our comfort zones and challenge ourselves "fashion" wise.  A chance to eliminate the normalcy of what we normally wear and just have fun with something new and exciting.  The BIG REVEAL is next Wednesday, April 24th!!!  I cannot wait for you all to see.   My lips are sealed right now so if you ask for any hints, nice try ain't happening!

I am really happy to be a part of this month's MESSY project with these lovely ladies!  Mia from http://www.thechroniclesofchaos.com,  Ashley from http://www.ohwellsinstead.com, Kelsey from http://amuseinpurple.blogspot.com,  and of course Kelly from Messy Dirty Hair!!!!

Stay tuned friends!!!

Oh the HORROR.....

"Their all gonna laugh at you".....

1, 2 Freddy's comin' for you...
So I would like to share a little piece of info about me that many people find surprising.....I am a HORROR movie freak.  Yep, it is true.  I would rather watch a horror film over a romantic comedy hands down.  It all started when I was little (probably too little I might add).  My dad would allow my brother and I to watch them and even though I would have nightmares every night I just became so drawn to the thrill so to speak!!!  My cousin Jess and I would watch marathons of horror films and would have to sleep with the light on sometimes, LOL

I like the idea of being at home and eating endless amount of snackies and being scared shit less when I watch a movie.  I am a fan of just about everything you can imagine.  Stalkers and psychopaths, vampires, witches, werewolves, clowns, etc...you name it!!!!   Sometimes I even appreciate the super cheesy films so I can get a good laugh out of it.  Most of my family and friends cannot understand why I am obsessed.


This is probably my most favorite scary movie scene ever.....scares me the same way every time I watch......


Call me a weirdo, but I am a fanatic of the HORROR......read and watch "If you dare"....hehe

Pure nature and love.....

Pure nature and hiking with my hubby Eric.  The weather was gorgeous and we had a wonderful time.



We were trying to see if our tree climbing skills were legit...hehe


We drove about 1.5 west of Richmond to the beautiful Crabtree Falls located in the George Washington National Forest in Nelson County, Virginia.  Crabtree Falls is also one of the tallest sets of waterfalls in the US east of the Mississippi River.  The hike was about 1.7 miles up the mountain and the view once you got to the top was incredible!!!  We took our time and enjoyed the scenery and the weather.  It's so nice to know that we have so much beauty and nature so close to where we live....

Love ya's

It's that time of year again peeps!  Warmer weather, yummy and refreshing cocktails, longer days, the beach, the pool and swimsuits....OMG it's almost swimsuit season!!   I am no longer a sun goddess but I always love getting a new bathing suit for the season, I mean come on why not??!!!!  I always imagine the song "Escape" (Pina Colada Song) in my head when I am looking for a new suit...haha!!!!   I am always looking for something bold and edgy and these are definitely my favorite picks for the season!!!   All of these are available at Urban Outfitters.






I am a life long lover of my black Ray Ban Wayfarers....but these are hot!!!!!!!
