Pray And Push 'Til You Get It Done!

Hello Lovelies,

What a busy week so far, but, if am honest I love it!  Things are getting done.  This year I decided to really work hard on my product line which comprises of mostly prints, totes, and tees. My t. shirts are generally inspirational, God inspired and some are just down right zany...like me. Trust me, it has been a looooooooooong exhausting road to get here but, here I am about to kill it. Advice to anyone with a dream. NEVER GIVE UP!  Ever.

The tees below are my newest creations which are all available now on Amazon! YAY ME! 
Yes honey, she did that! :)

Rip It Good! - DIY Shredded Jeans

So, I have  been fascinated for a while with ripped and tattered jeans, especially the boyfriend style and high waisted shorts.  As you know, they are priced to make your eyeball sweat....hence this post.  Naturally, I think I can do it myself. But of course. If you ever read anything at all on this blog, that is what I ALWAYS think so no surprise there.

This time though I have collected a few tutorials and examples before I plunge in.  I will upload my own results when I complete it so you can see how it turned out, Good or Bad.  Hopefully, it will turn the way  I envisioned it.

There are so many fabulous DIY examples and tutorials available on this, including this awesome video below!  Enjoy and if you decide to try this,  I would love to hear about it. :)

Bad habits & a DIY - Guest Post By Shanda Neighbors

This weekend did not go as planned. Me thinks I may have over scheduled yet again. For the purpose of this post we'll just called that bad habit #1. I wanted to turn the soil in the vegetable garden, and address the weeds there. I also wanted to expand the garden 

area. That was the priority.

Instead, I worked on this dresser. Enter bad habit #2: the unwillingness to adapt focus to ever changing circumstances, and environments. Also known as inflexibility. What is started must be finished, so I finished the other dresser, the sister to this.

From that:

To this:
 

If you look in the mirror you can see its previously finished mate. Yes, our bedroom looks a hot mess! Now you know why I'm doing all of this DIY stuff. I'm hoping I'll have pics of my bedroom redo on the cheap, in a few weeks. Maybe I'll even be brave enough to share them. Anyhow, somewhere in the middle of the dresser redo, I decided the project wasn't living up to expectation. Bad habit #3: unrealistic expectations. I hate when the projected outcome is not the reality. For a number of reasons this dresser is the poster child. I decided, it's time I make my peace with disappointment. Besides, I like it better as it is now, than it was, so I'm gonna keep the dresser as is...for now.  I can't promise I won't cave and fix it later. :)

A little "Cray Cray " In my Life

Let me just say how happy I am that fashion has lost it's ever lovin mind!  And there is only one word for it.  Fabulous!  It is about time! The neon wearin, acid wash color explosion with shoulder pads is here!  Again.   It is taking me back to the 80's and I love it.  As someone who grew up during this era this is so nostalgic and a well needed breath of fresh air. 

           How long this will last, who knows?.....but am enjoying every minute it!

For a while now we have been color deficient, a little pop here and there but for the most part, scurd scared of real color experience.  Well, this is it.  The 8o's revisited in all of it fabulous tie dyed, acid wash, neon CRAZY glory.

Neon colors are making an appearance in nail polish colors, lip sticks, they are on umbrellas, dresses, watches, accessories, and even on pets. And so, if you are prepared to stop traffic and stimulate eyeballs all around you, these fluorescent-colored fashions are the way go!

From high end and famous designers like Christian Louboutin, Chanel, Prada, and Michael Kors to middle rung and unknown designers, they all seem to be weighing in on this trend.  Shoes, bags and accessories with that unmistakable neon edge is showing up in stores all over the US and abroad which makes incorporating this look is so very easy.  And fun!  For those of us who are brave, really brave,...pants, dresses, blouses, jump suits and various other clothing are also available in just about every style imaginable.  So, feast your eyes and try this trend if you dare.

Timeless Beauties

A few months ago my sister and I had a conversation.  It went a little like this:

My sister: (looking in magazine) Wow, Helen Mirren is on fire!

Me: (looking at magazine page over her shoulder nodding my head)  She looks amazing.

My sister: If I look like that when I am her age....(side eye with attitude and and strikes a diva pose)

Me:  Not sure if the world is ready for you just yet.  (cracking up laughing)

My sister:  Well, ready or not.....(chuckling and browsing through magazine again)


Fortunately Helen is not the only one looking great as she gets older.  There are many other women her age and older who are as my sister would put it "holding it down!"

Here are some of them, most of them over 70 years old.  Enjoy!
