Questions from BeautyWithTheBlogger

1) What has been your Summer go to fotd?

LOL..this could either mean Face Of The Day or Food Of The Day–I’ll answer both.  Natural, moisturized with a light colored lipstick and maybe a little mascara, for “food” fruits (berries or mangoes)

2)Do you wear your hair more up or down this season?

It’s down during the day and by evening when it’s gym time it goes up.

3) Who is your favorite blogger?

I have so many that it’s hard to pick, my top 3 are Design Sponge, Designing An MBA and I Spy DIY

4) Are you Happy you followed my blog? Lol

Yes!  You are so cute!

5) Do you enjoy blogging more than any other social network or not really ?

I have my days.  I use to try and post something everyday and then I decided to scale back and post quality content over quantity.

6) What is your favorite song?

Once again I have one too many.  New school Nico & Vinz–Am I Wrong, Old School Sade–Smooth Operator

7) What is something you always wanted to do but never did?

Visit Africa–I still have time to do this though.

8) DID YOU SEE PRETTY LITTLE LIARS TONIGHT

I didn’t actually, but my husband has been telling me that it’s a pretty good show.

9) What’s your day to day skincare routine?

I use to be a product junkie (maybe I still am), but I discovered Om Botanical products at a Health Foods fair and it’s been one of the best products I’ve used to date. It’s all in one cleanser, toner and exfoliator are great I do a facial steam and mask once a week.

10) What do you like to do most in the summer ?

Beach and pool–although I haven’t gotten a chance to do either one since summer started 😦

11) Are you having a good day? I hope so

Every day God wakes me up and allows me to experience is a good one I’ve come to realize.  I have my health, family and friends–everything else is meaningless without those 3 components.  Life isn’t always going to be easy, but I’ve learn to find happiness in something each day- my 100 Days of Happy on Day 31 so far.

Reproductive Factors – 31 Days Luv Ur Boobs – Days 24 and 25

baby and mom

Certain reproductive factors slightly increase risk. These include giving birth to a first child after age 30, nulliparity (never having children), starting menstruation before age 12, and/or entering menopause after age 55.2 The increase in risk is likely due to a longer lifetime exposure to estrogen.†

I’ve been on quite a hiatus for the past two months, but it’s with good reason.  Since little man decided to make his grand appearance 3 weeks earlier than planned, I’ve been living and breathing motherhood with a newborn.  I can finally understand when I hear other mother’s say that this is the greatest challenge, but most rewarding thing they’ve ever done.  Check out some pics of my little pumpkin.

We have lots in store on our “Pink Agenda” this month.  Time to get that Holiday shopping out of the way.  Stay in the  loop with our Holiday sales, starting with Black Friday.  Just follow me on twitter, as I will be tweeting coupon codes for our Etsy shop and sale start times!

So, What Have You Been Up To?

It’s been a long time, but April has been a pretty busy month for me.  Between turning 30 🙂 and visiting my Grandma in Florida for her 85th  birthday, I’d say it’s been a great month.  Visiting and catching up with family is the greatest thing, my niece has grown soooo much and is absolutely the cutest little person on this planet.  Over the past month I got to do some of the things I’ve finally been meaning to do for a while like visiting the beach, seeing my grandmother and cousins in FL, visiting this wine bar in Glenwood, and just relaxing and having some fun!

Trip Back Home

Well this past weekend I got to see my beloved baby niece for the first time and what can I say other than she is truly the cutest little person ever.  She’s soo giggly and cute that it makes you want to just pinch her chubby little cheeks.  Check out the Miss Diva:

I also attended my aunt’s wedding and got to see my sisters from Cali.  Lets just say I think we all looked pretty hot and fabulous at the wedding.  There is an element of fun in getting all dolled up with some place to go.

Of course my outfit would not be complete without a specialty jewelry piece from The Pink Locket.  I think this ring went pretty well with my tube BeBe dress.

I’m on the hunt to find the cutest silver booties for my adorable little niece.  Of course I went to one of my favorite sites in the world, “Etsy” to find the most darling little booties.  I came across Lilcubby and not only did they have cute booties, but neat little onesies.  Check out some of their crafty merchandise.
