1. January 1st
This light fixture (one of many in this style) that is at The Golden Nugget in Lake Charles was inspiring to me. I love all things decor and design and I was moved by the artistry. We were there for a quick trip at the first of the month, and I will be going back soon to do a blog post! Well, and possibly some over eating and mayhem!
2. Lake Charles
We did a blog post from Lake Charles on a winter day this past month. I love this shot my husband took. It was a fun day even though it was a very cold and dreary. While I do see that I need to start paying more attention to the back of my hair, it was a road trip day and an awesome memory!
3. FAITH
January started off fabulous, and ended up kind of rocky. Life is not always fair and basically, if you didn’t know…people suck. My faith in God and the Bigger Picture keeps me going, so when I came across this large great metal cross which I hung on the brick wall by our front door, I thought it would be a perfect reminder of the bigger picture. I love that it’s hanging on the front wall, and it gives me a smile every time I go in and out of the house. I believe. I have hope and faith. My home is my happy place.
4. Hello Kitty Glitter Nails
Every morning, the thing that helps me get up is my morning routine. There’s comfort in knowing that a hot cup of coffee in my favorite Hello Kitty mug will be my happy place as I let the dogs out, let the dogs in, get their treat, and sit with my coffee as I gather up the inertia to start my beauty routine and get out the door. Hello Kitty cracks me up and makes me happy on the inside. She always has. I find happiness in peaceful moments and the little things. In the morning, I like my quiet time. As for the nails, I’ve gotten a wee but crazy with the glitter powder. Considering that I wear a lot of black, the nails don’t look too insane. I look like a total kooky character with my morning coffee and the nails, so I thought it was a great Saturday morning shot for Instagram!
5. MY HURR
I got a hair cut from my friend Angel and posted a quick picture on Instagram. She’s a really fun lady and knows everything there is to know about hair. She understands that everyone can’t have the same hair cut. Your head shape, hair texture, face shape and thickness of hair all play a part in how a cut will turn out. If you live in Houston, you should call her for a consultation if you’re in that place where it’s time to change hairdressers! Click her name above and it will take you to her site!
6. VIAGRA SALES WOMAN
This is a fuzzy cell phone picture that I took while that annoying Viagra commercial came on t.v. for the millionth time. I can’t figure out why they put these types of women on Viagra commercials. ( Natural, seasoned by time.) I am positive that tons of research is done, when attempting to decide on what type of woman is needed to sell Viagra.
My husband laughed when I commented that this spokesperson has “slutty” eyebrows. I then checked with ladies I knew, and everyone agrees…this is a slutty eyebrow.
If we could see the research, they chose a woman clearly over 40, in shape, but loose fitting clothing, good looking, and speaking suggestively, yet still maintaining a somewhat professional demeanor. I believe the loose clothing on a fit woman, makes a man’s mind wander more than a half naked woman. Slutty eyebrows are a necessity. I believe they send an unspoken message. The make up isn’t perfect. Hair is messy. So she either just got out of bed, or is about to go to bed, or wants to go to bed…if only her man would pop a Viagra! Too funny.
On a personal note, Viagra is not needed in my house at this juncture. Just sayin. I was married before, so I chose very carefully this time.
