I'm still in the recovery process from my eye shot , and I'll post more about that soon.  In the meantime, I didn't want to leave you guys hanging but I don't have anymore posts pre-written.  An interesting topic came up recently && I decided to use it for my post today. "If your lif…

Yesterday [7/27/14] was National Parent's Day. I thought I'd take a minute to get a little personal && tell you about my parents... My mother had cancer when she was a child.  It was the 60s/70s and they did a lot of experimental treatment with her.  One of which was removing her reproductive …

I think that Gratitude is veryyy important in every day life.  For several years now, I've kept a Gratitude journal .  I tried at first to end my day with my gratitudes, because there's something tranquil about your final thoughts of the day being positive.  However, I tend to not go to bed until I'm…

Today I will be receiving my Avastin shot for my POHS.  [ I've obviously pre-written this post. ]  Just wanted to remind you all that today is the day.  I may be absent for a little while, depending on how long it takes me to recover.  I tend to experience severe drowsiness && nausea for several days a…

I'm having a reallyyy hard time writing a review for this book.  I finished it this afternoon and I'm not sure exactly how I feel about it.  It took me two tries and nearly two months to finish this book.  I just couldn't get into it in the beginning.  In fact I wasn't a fan of the whole first hal…

Dealing with a disease/syndrome/illness can be a veryyy trying time.  I've been living with POHS for several years, and only had my diagnosis for a little over a year.  It is incredibly difficult at times to stay positive during "flare ups" .  POHS is an expensive syndrom and has no cure.  The mai…

I hate to start out every "favorites" post by saying how quickly the month went by, buuuut it has!  I don't have a lot of favorites to share with you this month, I was kind of having major brain *farts* trying to remember what my favorites were!   The NOT gently used eye shadow palette in the top…

||UPDATE 07/24/2015|| This post is now over a year old.  While I still love the apps in this post, please note that there may be other apps out there that better suit you.  Technology advances so quickly!  I have a tutorial on my current favorite photo editing app, Afterlight, which you can view h…

Last month I posted a not so nice review on Julep nail polish.  I received my first box from them in May, and was not impressed.  At all.  The polish went on incredibly clumpy && started chipping the next day [using Seche Vite base and top coat].  I've mentioned before that I have over 300 bottles of nai…

Okayyy so this month's layout isn't exactly "summery", but I'm not a fan of summer so I don't care!   Idk .  When I was deciding what theme to go with this month, I was feeling a little fiesty so this is what I came up with.  Hope you enjoyyy!  I decided to only show the h…
