HAPPY SUNDAY

Apartment Therapy

I need a mirror in my dining area immediately. Kirklands, here I come.

The perfect bubble bath

Maybe not what you had in mind....

But as you know, because of work, I have to be very conservative when it comes to my nails. I usually wear "It's Delicate" by Essie.

But I've found a new love for spring...and it's Bubble Bath by OPI. It's 7.99 and you can find it in most Ulta stores or online.

So pretty.

Helllluuuuuurrrrr....

When I say I have been swamped, I have been swamped! The challenges of work, friendships, branding myself and working on my relationship w/the Mister is keeping me oh so busy. But there is no excuse. I forgot my therapeutic outlet, my blog!!!!

Yesterday, I did spend the day w/my new NC fab girlfriends for a day of pampering, shopping and a fun night on the town.

They are so fabulous: one does pharmaceutical sales, the other is a fabulous stay at home mom, and the third is the owner of my new favorite boutique: Poshh.

I'm the youngest of the pack which is usually the case. I find I have very little in common with women my age.

Anyway, I don't think I laughed so hard and felt so good with a group of sassy, polished and financially fit women in a looong time!

Like me, they work hard and play even harder!

Guess who got some new digs? 20-year-old country superstar Taylor Swift.
A cool $1.9 million landed her this bachlorette pad in Nashville. Nice.
Love this bedroom. It reminds me A LOT of my own (minus the view).

Oohh la, la.

Nice kitchen. Good to know she's taking her time to decorate....

Go Taylor!

SASSY SPACES: Kid's Shower

How cute is this tile...and even more so, check out the shower head.

IT'S COMING..... WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

YES BLOG WORLD, I'M TALKING ABOUT VALENTINE'S DAY. IT'S A DAY YOU LOVE OR A DAY YOU LOVE TO HATE.

I'VE BEEN ON BOTH ENDS.... CALLING IT AN AMERICANIZED COMMERCIAL HOLIDAY THAT CATERS TO FLORISTS, JEWLERS AND GREETING CARD MAKERS.--THAT WAS RIGHT AFTER MY BITTER 2004 BREAKUP.

BUT THINGS HAVEN'T ALWAYS BEEN SO BITTER. I'VE ENJOYED NICE GIFTS FROM NICE GUYS, FLOWERS FROM MY DADDY, CARDS FROM MY MAMA...AND LAST YEAR MY HANDSOME NEPHEW SHOWED HIS "TT" SOME LOVE. THIS YEAR OF COURSE, I WILL SPEND THE DAY WITH THE MISTER. WHO REMINDS ME THAT EVERYDAY IS VALENTINE'S DAY. SO, WE DON'T BUY INTO THE HYPE...ESPECIALLY WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL LILLIES STARING AT ME FROM A FEW DAYS AGO;)

ANYWAY, WHAT WILL YOU DO THIS SUNDAY?

WILL YOU SULK BECAUSE THERE IS NO MAN...OR WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE? WILL YOU SPEND TIME WITH SOMEONE YOU REALLY DON'T CARE TO SPEND TIME WITH? WILL YOUR DRAG YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER OUT OF THE HOUSE JUST TO BE ABLE TO BOAST ABOUT YOUR VALENTINE'S DAY?

MY SUGGESTION....

DO YOU. REMEMBER, LOVE IS NOT MEASURED. IT'S NOT MARKED WITH A BIG HEART ON A CALENDAR. AND IT'S NOT WHAT SOMEONE ELSE SAYS IT SHOULD BE.

SO SPEND TIME DOING WHAT MAKES YOU LOVE YOU. WHETHER IT'S WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY, YOUR SWEETIE PIE, OR YOURSELF.

JUST LOVE.

I am a huge fan of Kimora Lee Simmons. She is THE business woman, mother and wife and she doesn't mind telling it like it is. I didn't watch her show religiously but this season, I will. Check out the premier.

She's so witty, I luv it!
