#MamanistaFriday

This week Trina and Aracely started a new theme segment on Mamanista Friday. This week the theme was prints/patterns.

I know some people like to stay away from mixing prints but I am a huge fan. I don’t do it often but I try to do a little something when I can. One of the keys to making this trend work is to make sure the prints are in the same color family.

One day this week while out running errands I wore this:

#MamanistaFriday

Sweater: Thrifted Blouse:Thrifted Jeans: Thrifted Rainboots: Target Necklace: Target Cuff: Tory Burch

I tell you this weather really has me home bound. I thought I would spice things up by moving from my dining room to the kitchen this time. Change is good. Can’t wait to be able to go outside.

Are you a fan of mixed prints? Have you dared tried the trend? Are you ready for Spring?!

Project 52 – Week 4

This week stumped me because I hadn’t picked up my DSLR. In my head I assumed I had nothing to share creatively, then it dawned on me that every picture I post for my Project 52 won’t have the perfect white balance or composition but that the purpose of these projects are to capture everyday moments in life and frankly some weeks only my iPhone gets those real raw moments. This shall be one of those weeks.

B&W

Piano lessons

When I say she STAYS doing the most. She was supposed to be in the bed

It’s Party Time…Oh, It’s Party Time

….or not.

In a few short weeks I will be turning 35. Oh, 35 you came too soon. I’m like 5 whole years to 40.

I’m normally not a party girl, but I do recognize certain milestones require special recognition and 35 is one of those years.

I’ve been tossing a few scenarios around in my head regarding whether or not I want to get down with a shin dig. I’ve been given a budget and I even have a party planner. However, the cheapster in me can’t see paying that type of money for people to come and celebrate MY birthday. Keep in mind I didn’t have a wedding so this would be a first for me in the arena of shelling out big bucks for people to eat and drink in celebration of a life milestone.

So I have to make my mind up soon and very soon because invites will need to go out in the next week. I’ve taken to Pinterest. In the event I do partake in the party life here are a few inspiration photos:

What do you think? Should I stop being so cheap and just have a party or put the money in my pocket and hit the spa and the mall?!!

Just Another MANICure Monday – Sinful Colors Pink Forever

I know. I’ve been slacking on getting my MANICure posts up but with all of the house painting around the house I haven’t really taken out the time to get my hands together. Hopefully moving forward I will make this more of a priority.

Anywhooooo. Alisha is pouring virtual wine and showing off mani’s. She’s hosting the link up this week.

I am always raving on the fact that I like Sinful Colors better than some of the higher dollar brand polishes and this color is one of the reasons why. I admit it needed a few more coats than an Essie but for the price I can do that.

Sinful Colors Forever PInk

I’m done with winter and in my head it is spring so that is why I went with this color. I love it.

Sinful Colors Forever PInk

Don’t you dare say a word about my cuticles. Not a word. These nails barely got painted.

The link up this week is over at Alisha’s. You have until Friday to get over there and show off your MANICure. Don’t be like me. Take the time out to pamper yourself. I tell you a shiny, pretty nail goes a long way!
