MOMMA SANDY TIP

So i figured my momma is pretty much a genius and gives me the best tips ever to get rid of smells, stains, decorating, cooking, baking, and they are amazing. So im going to start posting them, because im sure (hoping) that everyone else has these issues too. So hopefully they will help you as much as they help me. :)
So i have 2 scentsys in my house, and they are amazing, but i wanted an even stronger smell, especially for the holidays. I love having my whole house smell like cinnamon, pumpkin, anything that is holiday like. So here s my momma tip

Momma tip #1- For a strong smell of yummyness (angelika word) in your home. Go to wal-mart, smiths, micheals, roberts, anywhere really, go down there candle isle and find the liquid poppuri (spelling?). Then instead of buying a poppuri (again?) burner go home put you stove on simmer and pour a good amount of the liquid in there, then add things like clove, or cinnamon, like the seasonings you cook with and let it simmer. OMG it works so good. and the liquid poppuri is only like $3. so its perfect and it lasts quite awhile too. And if it starts running low i just add a little water too it instead of more of the liquid.
-don't forget to check it every once in awhile ;)

Pretty Friggin Excited

Rainy Day

Today i wish i was home with my sweetheart, sipping hot chocolate with cinnamon, watching a cute movie, and cuddling the day away with laughs and kisses. And then maybe some puddle jumping later. ha. Have a GREAT day!!! :)

Should I or Shouldn't I???

So i have been having some minor health problems that could lead into big ones if i am not careful. I have extremely high cholesterol for my age, and i need to lose some weight as well. I realize that this is a big deal, and i am going to try really hard to change my lifestyle to become more healthy. Diabetes and heart disease run very strong thought both sides of my family, so i am at even higher risk to develop those at a younger age. So pretty much i'm horrified. So after a lot of research and reading, i am going vegetarian. The health benefits alone are a good enough reason to do it. Not to mention that i really am discusted by the way animals are treated and killed. So stating this week i will be a vegetarian. I am also starting to jog a couple times a week and on the days i dont i would love to start doing yoga again. This sounds so easy to say but i know it's going to be so hard for me. Cause anyone who knows me knows i love my prime rib rare and i love cheese and butter, and steak, chicken, fish, all of it. yummy. But i know in the long run i will not regret my decision. Let me know what you think, advice, recipies, anything!

Apple Cider Vinager

I mentioned a couple posts ago about my friend ashley's wedding. Well me and my sister audrey and ashley as well all wanted to be tan for the pictures! Of course! So audy has been tanning for a couple weeks now, and is friggin dark, ashley has gone a couple times and is pretty brown nothing like audy. So i needed to get dark fast so all of us went to get spray tans. They always tell you to tan before you get the spray tan, it makes it look better. So that is precisley what me and audy did. EXCEPT there were new lights put into the bed...BIG PROBLEM....we both also chose not to cover our faces....ANOTHER BIG PROBLEM!!! So, i already have pretty dark skin naturally so i rarely rarely get burned. Well my friends.... me and audy GOT FRIED!!! Especially on our faces!!! and to make it better we both went to get the spray tan after, before we knew we were burned. So lets add this up ...bed with new lights + spray tan = oompa loompa!!! WTF. So with that in mind! we both exfoliated ourselves to death and ended up looking quite nice for the wedding. But only thanks to apple cider vinager!!! We all stayed in a hotel the night before the wedding and pretty much drenched ourselves with this stuff!!! And it totally worked. We went from tomatos to yummy browness!!! So if you ever get fried and need a quick fix for your redness... get a pretty warm to hot wash cloth and drench it in apple cider vinager for as long as you can. Keep in mind it stings your eyes. It has the same effect on your eyes as cutting an onion does. So beware!!!

Happily Ever After <3

So this past Saturday (September 19, 2009) my best friend Ashley Bret Mcquivey (aka my sister)go married to the love of her life. And oh let me tell you when i saw her walking down the isle, i teared up. I have never had my breath taken away by beauty. It was quite the experience. The whole ceremony was really just beautiful. Apart from the preacher having a friggin lisp, it was perfect! The whole night was a party, seeing old friends, reminissing, and laughing. It was amazing! I just havent been able to quit thinking about ashy and how much i love her, and how it really hit me at the ceremony that after all these years of being so close, i understand now how much she means to me. She literally took mine and everyones breath away with her beauty and poise. I will post pictures and you will know exactly what i am talking about! i promise! anyways hope you all have a beautiful monday. today is the first day you can feel fall in the air!!! yay!!!

Was its das?

Furture refrence for all therapists that want a job at a spa. Don't let it be the Primrose Retreat! It's a beautiful spa, but the owner is the worst employer i have ever been hired by. THE WORST!!! can i make it any clearer. She is so unfriendly and rude. I was going to be quitting there this weekend, but got "let go" aka the owner for some reason didnt like me. I was actually really happy, but oh well. ha. I dont mean to sound conceded or anything but i have never not been liked, by an employer and i have had a lot of jobs. Im an extremely hard worker and pretty friendly i think, but this lady is crazy. Even my school said that i should probably not work there. I mean that means a lot when a huge massage school known around the U.S. says dont work there the owner is terrible. Anyways i have never been fired before so that was a first but i dont even consider it being fired, ha. anyways, have a great thrusday!!!

MMMMMM GOOD!!!

I think i am going to make this for dinner tonight! it is going to be a chilly evening. I love fall weather. its so cozy. dont you think?
