double the fun!

I'm the type of person that when I find something I like, I usually buy two of them. So, I was in The Loft the other day and saw the cutest clutch ever on sale and just had to scoop it up. It was on sale for $11.99.

And of course... I couldn't get just one.

So True

Hope this inspires you!

Q : What's your general pet peeve?

Noor :

My biggest pet peeve is traffic. All the smoke and noises just freak me out. If I could do one thing, I would get out of my car and shout for clearance!

Areeba : 

Pet peeve? It's staring! No matter who is staring me, this thing is annoying. Why you stare? I mean if a bird has pooped on me head tell me to wash this but DO NOT stare. It's kind of horror for me!

Your turn to answer!

Outgrowing Relationships

Thought shoes and clothes were the only things you could outgrow? Guess again! You can outgrow people too. Here are some signs that will help you realize that you may be outgrowing someone.

1. You no longer find their stories interesting. Gone are the days when you would cling to every detail. 

2. Talking to them becomes a chore. 

3. You realize that the person is more into themselves than anything else. You can hardly get a word in. 

4. You no longer race to the phone when they call.

5. You find yourself nodding off or rolling your eyes midway through a conversation.

So, the point of this post is....

I have decided...

Yesterday, as I sat in quiet reflection I made some decisions. 

I have decided that....

1. I won't let anyone's negativity affect my state of mind. Even if it means cutting some people out of my life, I no longer wish to have another human being unfavorably alter my mood and disposition. 

2. I will live my truth. That means being myself. Even if it makes me seem unpopular. There is only room for one personality in my life, MINE.

                                     

3. I will walk in my purpose.

               

4. I will surround myself with positive, like-minded people.

               

                   

  

What should I get hubby for his birthday?

My hubby's birthday is just a few short days away and I need your help deciding what to get him. Here's what i've been toying with in my mind...

1. He's really into watches. I saw this Thomas Sabo watch and figured he'd love it.

2. Can't go wrong with a dress shirt and tie for work. Paul Fredrick is one of his favorite brands.

3. Tech gadgets are high on the list of most men.

Which ever item gets the most votes between now and Monday, that's the one I'm getting. So, what say ye?

What present should I buy for hubby's birthday?
	Thomas Sabo Watch
	Paul Fredrick Dress Shirt
	Google Nexus 7 Tablet

Cool Kicks!

Aren't these little tennis shoes just the cutest? I was blessed to meet an amazing group of women when I joined a prenatal exercise class a few months back. After I gave birth to my daughter, they gifted her with her first pair of shoes. They're adorable!
