Today my marriage turns 18…. I am not sure where the years have gone. On one hand I feel like I have been married a lifetime and on the other it feels like we just got married yesterday. I know the years have marched on…..sadly we neither look the same nor are we quite the same size. Yet, we are still that same couple; two strangers who fell in love and have become each other’s best friend and constant companion….
I still love a bootcut jean and a sleeveless puffer jacket…..are they completely out of fashion am I a walking fashion faux pas?!?!?!?
We can use this time to reflect upon where our focus should be…..and for me and my family it is by coming together in prayer and in our faith in God.
Ever since then, when my feet have touched the sand of a beach, I have brought a little of it home with me. I usually save some in a water or soda bottle, but I have been known to take a sock from my kids foot and bring sand home in it.
……by far my favorite is the Aperol Spritz. With its bitter orange flavor, served over ice with a slice of orange as garnish….it makes a perfect pre-dinner cocktail.
What an indulgent idea, buying flowers for yourself just because it is raining, springtime or it is simply a Tuesday. The little bouquets that are available at the supermarket (or the farmer market) are so inexpensive and very good quality. So while it may seem indulgent and luxurious to buy yourself some in season flowers, in actuality it is really quite the bargain.
Can I live without Botox? Warning: this post includes close up views of my face….scroll down at your own risk!!!! Almost two years I decided to get Botox. I think I needed it: Just kidding…..but I really did need it. I had sworn up and down that I would never, never, never do it. Idid not love the deep lines that were etched into my forehead, but I had earned each of them…….every laugh and every frown had left…
When my husband gets reassigned, I, as the military spouse, also get reassigned along with my children and my dog. We have very few options……we must go with him, because he is what is known as our “sponsor” and also we love him and want to be with him.
I have a lot of what I like to call “junk jewelry”. I love beads of all colors and finishes, especially for my wrists. I bought the bracelet and necklace organizers from Amazon.
But the truth is that Korean beauty is actually the most simplest of beauty. Everyone talks of the ten or twelve step Korean beauty regime, practiced twice a day by the Korean girls. But in actual fact it is not that complicated.
