New Year, New Beginnings & 7 Resolutions for 2013…
I’m not big on resolutions really. Mostly because I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like to wait or set dates or to plan really at all. In other, and far less flattering words, I’m very impatient. My husband is the patient planner and I’m the DO IT NOWer, which admittedly leads to certain conflicts, …

NYE Nails: Abstract Art Black, Silver, & Blue Glitter Manicure
My New Year’s Eve manicure is directly inspired by my NYE outfit, which is generally in this color palette, and of course, abstract rather than precise. It actually kind of reminds me of a bathing suit I had in the 80’s, which I loved, obviously 😉 I was originally leaning towards black with blue only …

Once or twice a week the husband and I go exploring in our new land and last week it was to Cedar Glen, which much like everything else, is about a five minute drive, and it is adorable. We stopped at the local hardware store to pick up a few supplies {snow shovel, gloves, kitchen …
My DIY Rustic Christmas Tree {in blues & browns}
In our new neutral living space, with little hints and pops of blue, I couldn’t imagine a tree in any other color palette. Being that I’ve never done a tree in these tones though, I only had a few ornaments that I could use. I grabbed some vintage ornaments in blue and teal, a few …
