Goodbye is FOREVER so I'll just say: See U Later!



Greetings... This is going to be an informal post as this is just a quick impromptu post.
 As much as I tried to fit EVERYTHING into my daily schedule I found myself doing wayyyy to much and had no other choice but to let some things go!!!! 

Blogging just happened to be one of them! I'm trying to utilize my time more efficiently and maximize my time management. I also, want to give my readers quality posts so as for now I've decided to take a "BLOG BREAK" ~ I'm not exactly sure when I will be able to come back as I have a FULL plate.
 I'm NOT complaining because I've been truly blessed and enjoy eating off the plate that I've been given but I also want to make sure that I digest it all in order to be well balanced.

I've been blogging for 3 years and Blogging is NOT my BUSINESS; it serves as a HOBBY for me and I thoroughly enjoy blogging and reading other blogs but it has slowly started to become more like an underpaid JOB for me. I know it's all in what we make it but I haven't been making it as of late. 

As much as I REALLY wish this was all just an April Fools JOKE it's NOT as I'm NOT sure when I will return to the blogosphere and if I will EVER return but what I do know is I'm only a social media network away! 

So, you can ALWAYS keep up with me on: Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest


NOTE TO YOU: AGAIN, Thank you all for your patience and understanding while I try and get my blogging MOJO BACK! 


~Until Next Time


*** SEE U LATER ***


Peace, Love, Faith, & Fashion

Manicure Monday on Tuesday... Black/Cross Nail Design



   I've been MIA from the blogosphere but this time is for good reason... As stated in my last post on Valentine's Day - I went out of town for a few days and when we returned home we got news that my Father-N-Law passed away. My Husband took it harder than expected and everyday we had a host of family and friends that came over to visit. We are still receiving cards, calls, and texts and I'm so very thankful for everyone who reached out to us during this difficult time. So, with that being said I did my nails last week in honor of my Father-N-Law... Death is NEVER easy but God don't make NO mistakes!

Wordless Wednesday... Super Bowl Party Photo Recap!

This ice storm has me on edge... YES! I know, I know... to make the best of it and I was doing just that  as my girls made me breakfast in bed. 



Breakfast in bed... Thanks to my babies! 



But once trees started falling and my lights went out I was DONE! My lights just recently came back on and 1st thing I did was ran downstairs and cooked! I've been snacking all day but I wanted us to have a decent home cook meal.  Since the lights are still shining and while I STILL have time I'm going to share a REALLY quick post for “Wordless Wednesday” as the "procrastinator" in me never shared our Super Bowl Party that my Hubs & I hosted at our home on Super Bowl Sunday.

Just Another MANICure Monday... AKA Inspired!

Happy Monday!!!! I'm here yet again for another Manicure Monday post... One thing I can honestly say: If I'm NOT here for ANYTHING else I'm here for my weekly Manicures. lol


I was going to go with the typical "Valentine" Mani but figured everyone would be sharing those this week so I decided to do the opposite. This week as the host of "Manicure Monday my nails were inspired by the colors of the soriity AKA. Mimi of (Lipgloss and Binky should be very PROUD of me. *Claps hands* I must say that that the ladies of this sorority has been nothing short of amazing. They have REALLY supported me when it comes to my business. When $ALES are low there is ALWAYS an AKA sitting back ready to place an order. So, I salute and honor them this week w/ my Mani for showing my business so much LOVE!


Personalized Candles hand created by MOI

These colors screams: SPRING TIME!!!!! - Which I'm sooo READY for! 

China Glaze: Neon & On & On - Highlight of my Summer

Just Another MANICure Monday... Super Bowl Inspired!


Happy Monday!!!! I know I haven't been blogging as much as of late and I REALLY don't have an excuse other than the fact that I'm LAZY, A PROCRASTINATOR, and well, I'm about that MICROWAVE life so I've been cheating on the blogosphere with Instagram. BUT WAIT!!!! Before y'all give up on lil ole me... I promise to do BETTER!!!! If you don't believe me... just watch & see. (Tehehehehe) 

Okay, so was I the only one SUPER excited about the SUPER BOWL???!!! Well, actually the EXCITEMENT died after like 30minutes o watching the game. It was hard to watch I mean REALLY???!!!! Well, anyone that's a BRONCOS FAN understands my pain. I won't bore y'all with all the details but I will be sharing pictures from our Super Bowl party in a later post but for now let me just show y'all my nails that I need to hurry up and change the polish on. lol 

My nails exemplify just how amped up I was about the SUPER BOWL.
 









This is going to sound CRAZY but did I mention I'm not even a fan of Football! 
I'm just a FAN of the SUPER BOWL!

Just Another MANICure Monday... w/ Linky!

Wow... I can't believe that we are in the 3rd week of the "New Year" and the days are rolling by SUPA FAST! I haven't blog in what seems like 4 EVA!!!! I don't have a legitimate reason for NOT blogging other than being the BIGGEST procrastinator known to man/woman kind! At any rate, I hope everyone year has started off to a GREAT start. Today, is observed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as he recently had what woud have been his 85th Birthday and in his honor I created a candle in his remembrance... May his light forever shine in our lives!!!!! ~"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." -Martin Luther King, Jr.


I REALLY wanted to do my nails in something symbolic towards "King Day" - today is a GIFT and everyday should be treated as such! Therefore, my mani was inspired by the word: GIFT!
Andddd... what girl doesn't like GIFTS!!!!! Which reminds me of one of my very 1st gifts from my Hubs was a Tiffany Necklace & Bracelet. It was my very 1st time EVER receiving a little blue box so I was STOKED!

So, what better way to present a Tiffany inspired Mani:
