I played around a bit with my new camera (the Canon Rebel T2i) this weekend and wanted to share a few of the shots I took. Right now I'm only shooting in full automatic or automatic without flash. I will try other modes once I've watched the DVD about how to use the camera in its various settings. Photography is just really inspiring ...

Make Your Holidays Beautiful: Shutterfly Holiday Cards (Bloggers can get 50 Free!)
I usually wait until 2 weeks before Christmas to send out my holiday cards. This year though, I am lucky to be participating in Shutterfly's Holiday Card Promotion! I've done photo cards before, but they were NOT as cute as the ones offered by Shutterfly! I was seriously impressed when I saw the wide variety of designs they had to ...
Saturday Notes: Kate Middleton’s Loveliness,Tennis & New Nike Eclipse Shoes
I am so glad that I was able to have a 4-day weekend. After the traveling, jet lag and turkey dinners, I was exhausted and it was nice to sleep in today! I started my morning off right by watching some DVR'd shows all about Prince William and Kate Middleton. Can I just say how much I adore her? I mean, her hats, her gorgeous blown-out ...
(Black) Friday Shopping: Best Buy, Express, LOFT & Bath & Body Works
I hope everyone had a safe and happy thanksgiving! Ours was spent with my husband's wonderful parents and my best friend who joined us for a turkey dinner. Candice even baked an apple pie (from scratch) and it was delicious! I couldn't have asked for a better thanksgiving. I was able to get some reading done this weekend. I had ...
My Top Mascara Picks: Dior, L’Oreal, CoverGirl and Make Up For Ever
I've been on a roll lately with my product reviews so I thought I would continue my review-a-thon with a post about my favorite mascaras. Plural, because, uh, I love too many of them to choose just one. From L-R (please note that I only use waterproof mascaras. I don't like any formulas that aren't waterproof) Cover Girl Lash Blast ...
It’s Been Awhile: My Trip to Slovakia
I know it's only been about 5 days, but it feels like forever since I've written here. I am back from Slovakia, safe and sound with a little jet lag and a lot of lower back pain (I'll explain that later.) My trip was nice, even under the sad circumstances. It was so great to see my family members that I hadn't seen in about 18 years. ...
Product Reviews: Urban Decay 24/7 Liner, YSL Touche Eclat, Ole Henriksen Ultimate Eye Lift Gel
I've ordered a lot of products from Sephora lately so I wanted to give a little review to 3 products that I'm really excited about. For Lining Your Waterline Number one is Urban Decay's 24/7 Eyeliner in "Zero." It's actually much better than my Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner for the waterline, specifically. It goes on smooth ...
Weekend Shopping: Sephora & Victoria’s Secret
Last night I went on a cleaning spree. I think that anytime I'm stressed or sad, I turn to cleaning to center myself and feel "in control." I spent at least 2 hours cleaning out my closet last night (I also cleaned the bedroom and bathroom.) I even took all of the socks (mine and my husband's) out of the sock drawer and threw all the ...
Weekend Shopping: Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Target
This is my second blog in a day---I love coming here. I love that every time I open my inbox I'm met with such beautiful, wonderful and kind comments. Thank you a thousand times over. As I mentioned earlier, Candice and I went to Forever 21 today at Baybrook mall which is a drives away for us, but well worth it. Once again I tried on a ton ...

I consider myself incredibly lucky to have such amazing readers who have such beautiful hearts. It really means the world to me to have this kind of ...
