Friday Favorites & GIVEAWAY

I wanted to share some of my favorites for the week. It has been so crazy trying to adjust to living in Germany, but I think I am starting to get better at it. I still need to take some German classes so I can go out and not make to big of a fool or myself :)

I was going through some old pictures the other day, and one of my favorite pics is of my sweet sweet Grandma & two of my sisters. If you would of known this lady you would love her like we all do. We all miss her so much, but I see her spirt and personality all the time in my Momma and family.  We were at Hogle Zoo in Utah & it was a fun day. Do you remember those little machines where you could make something out of wax? Well I got a wax mold of 3 monkeys, and I also used the machine where you smash pennies. 

I also had a few favorite makeup items I turned to a lot this week. I didn't use the Naked 3 palette when it came out at first, but lately I have been LOVING the colors. They all Mix and Match so fabulously together. Then you pair it with another favorite which is the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara.. My eye makeup can tend to run, but using the bottom lash mascara not only helps with looking like your lashes are fuller but the mascara doesn't run all over when I use it.

My all time favorite for the week, and Months is my Christian Dior Creme de Rose lip balm. This has been a life savor. I breathe from my mouth when I sleep, so dry and chapped lips are always an issue. I have found that when I put this on right before I go to bed, I wake up and my lips are hydrated and smooth. I also LOVE the smell. It is just perfect. I plan to give these as birthday gifts because I love it so much & I know others will as well.

Well I wanted to thank everyone for the support and for taking the time to read my blogs and tweets and checking out my Instagram photos and Facebook. I love putting these blogs together and can't wait to start You-Tube someday. This blog helps me express myself, because normally I tend to be very shy when I don't know someone so I find it hard to talk sometimes. So wanted to say Thanks by doing this Giveaway for this:                    COACH WRISTLET IN PAINTED DOT COATED CANVAS :) :)

I love this Coach wristlet. The colors pop & it is perfect if you only want to carry a few things. Giveaway is worth $50 bucks. Make sure to enter below & if your interested in any of the items above you can find them all here:  Luvocracy ..

Thanks again!  MUCH LOVE,

LOTS OF LOVE coming your way from Hawaii !!

Aloha Hawaii

Aloha from Hawaii. I have the lucky chance to come here and chill in the warm temps thanks to my sister and her husband. We are here with two of her sweet boys and having a blast together. The flight over had its difficulties, but thankfully the boys were perfect which made things so much easier. We were able to hang out in Delta Sky Bar on our quick layover until we took our last 30 minute airplane ride to Kauai. It is so nice to go from cold smoggy Utah weather, to warm Hawaiian air. We have already gotten out a few times to play and eat some great food. Above is a fun waterfall just a few minutes away from where we stay in Kauai.
We also went to see another waterfall that my nephew Jett really loved. At the waterfall some locals hang there and make items out of certain types of tree leaves. They made us this CUTE bird for my nephew, and a butterfly rose for my sister and me. It is amazing seeing what they can make out of the huge leaves.

The views in Hawaii are so amazing. Every which way you turn it is something new. The ocean, waterfalls, flowers or a bird made of leaves. I will be here awhile longer so I will try to post two more times. The internet service isn't great here so sorry if it takes awhile to get back to your comments. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful week & stay safe. I will be ending my Michael Kors giveaway the day I get back to make sure to enter here: MK Giveaway!(giveaway over)



Lots of Love :)

Michael Kors Giveaway & New Years Resolutions

So hello there everyone.. I am a little late at getting this post out, but I am so Excited about it. This is the first time I will post my resolutions for everyone to read (SCARY)....   :)

First thing I want to do is the same old thing most people want and it is to become a healthier person.

1.  I intend to eat at least one type of fruit & vegetable each day. That might not seem like a lot, but   I have been lacking on the healthy stuff lately, so I will start with baby steps so I can keep my goals.
2.  I drink So much soda each week, so I want to limit myself to 2 soda's a week.
3.  Have one day a week in which I can eat any type of food I want, and the other 6 days a week keep the food as healthy as possible.
4.  I had knee surgery end of September so I am not 100% better yet, but I want to go to the gym or workout outside 3-5 times per week to start with. I will do whatever my body allows and move up when I get stronger and start losing weight and gaining muscle.

Next thing I want to happen in 2013 is for me to be a Happy, Friendly and Sociable person.

1. I have always been super shy, so I always tried to get out of certain situations. So I want to live life completely and accept invitations and not cancel situations that make me a little nervous and shy :)
2. When meeting new people I want to always repeat there names so I never forget them
3.  If feeling down in the dumps I need to get outside, go running or call a friend to help lift me out of my funk.
4.  Smile more and keep my head up when walking around.
5.  Always look people in the eye and completely listen to what they have to say.

Last thing I want to do is be a little less technical.
1. Have one day a week where my husband and me are technology free.. Turn off everything and enjoy each others company!

Well I might come up with a few more goals for myself and I will add them later on.. NOW comes the challenge part of this blog post. I challenge you all to tell me your goals for 2013 and stick to them as best as possible. Make sure to post them in the comment section below, because I would LOVE to read all of them and reply.

My love for Harley Davidson

                                                         My love for Harley Davidson
Hey there everyone~ Today I just wanted to share my love of Harley Davidson Accessories! It is true I do not own a bike and I am sure I never will, BUT I seriously love all the Harley Decor, Accessories and ETC.

My favorite purchase at Harley Store is my ring. I have bought 3 total Harley rings in the past. Due to the fact that my hands shrink in the winter I lost two of the rings so on this third ring I made sure it was a snug fit. I have also owned hats, pens, pins, scarves, shot glasses, t-shirts, boots and etc. Harley makes quality products so they are meant to last! Make sure to check them out and see for yourself how many wonderful products they have :)



Thanks for reading! Have an awesome day:)
