Happy Christmas Eve Eve…

My next few hours will consist of retail shopping, grocery shopping, wrapping gifts, cooking, watching Christmas Movies and sipping on cider!    

This is by far one of my favorite times of the year… I LOVE EVERYTHING about Christmas from the crowded department stores to the Christmas lights. However, I know that some folks are totally opposite when it comes to the “Holiday Season” rather it’s because of No Money, No Job, Lost Love ones or whatever the reason may be. I’m praying for those persons  strength and encouraging each and every one of you to reach out to someone even if that someone is a stranger offer them an encouraging word and/or smile. You NEVER know what someone may be going through.  

Here are a few of my holiday festivities pics thus far:

*** Picture Heavy ***

 

Don’t be a GRINCH… celebrate with what you got and God will bless you with what you need. It doesn’t matter how BIG your bank account is… what matters is how BIG your heart is!!!!

NOTE TO YOU: I did NOT spend out this year like I have in the past and I feel WONDERFUL about it.

I cannot go without saying: Jesus is the REASON for the SEASON!!!!

**** Merry CHRISTmas ****

Wordless Wednesday… Candle Creations!

Happy HuMp Day…

I’m just here for a quick minute to share my latest creations with you all.

 I’m currently still taking orders but Friday December 22^nd will be my last day for all Christmas orders.

These have been a really BIG hit… The small candles are $7.50 & $15 for the Large Candle.

Any picture and wording can be added to the candles... front and back. 

The candles only come in “white” and "beige" as colored candles tend to bleed when heat is applied to them and cause discoloration on the pictures so for now I’m sticking to the white candles.

  

NOTE TO YOU: What’s cooler than personalize gifts????

Repeat Offender… 3 PEAT!

If you saw my Instagram post on yesterday then you may have saw me mention the fact that folks don’t like to post an outfit that they have already worn on social media twice. IDK WHO invented that so call RULE but to me that’s CRAP! But then again I’m not here to argue with the masses I’m just here to state (my situation) “my case” and my case only! I can’t speak for the next person but as for me I do REPEAT my outfits. I’m not in competition with no one nor am I’m trying to impress anyone. I shop on a budget and I know my budget… I try and make the best of that budget by rotating my clothes and shopping my closet to get the BEST wear out of my outfits.

 

Simply put: you can change a top/shoe/blazer and/or accessories to make an outfit look totally different. But with this outfit I pretty much colored inside the lines and didn’t change much but you will see it AGAIN, and maybe AGAIN styled with a different color blazer, shoes, and accessories.

Not everyone is going to like what you wear anyway so why try and please folks on social media that could probably careless about you… Most folks will do anything just to gain a LIKE or too. Oops, there I go ago… Shhh… I’m just going to stay in my lane and maintain my own wardrobe.

 WIW:

Dress: Thrifted

Necklace: Gifted

Blazer: Unknown (old)

Shoes: Blue Booties - JustFab Blue Heeless: Boutique Sponsored Black Boots: Gifted

 As for me… I try to be as authentic as I know how and show you guys what I actually wear to work, church, and/or play. For me this is “REAL LIFE” and I try to give you all just that so what you see is what you get.

My outfit is not quite along the lines but it is casual & sparkly (considering my statement necklace) and I did not know the Mamanista's Mama Fashion Files

& The Baby Shopaholic had already started their link-up party but I’m still linking up anyway. Lol   

*Sorry, for the cellphone pics again… 2014 will be better*

NOTE TO YOU: I know a lot of my readers are Fashionista’s and bless you if you don’t wear the same thing twice… but this post wasn’t directed at anyone in particular this was just my honest opinion. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and witness my 3 PEATS!

Just Another MANICure Monday… Alice & Olivia Inspired!

Ok, so I’m starting to realize that I’m becoming more and more of a nail blogger. Which I’m TOTALLY not that beauty blogger person… I just happen to LOVE nail polish and doing my nails. Besides I made you guys a promise by posting the link-up so if I don’t do NOTHING else I do manage to get my “Manicure Monday” blog posts. Lol

Here we are back at Monday again and I have found myself back for this week Manicure Monday which was inspired by my cute little Alice & Olivia Starbucks mug/tumbler.

Last week nails in above pic... but peep the tutu! Isn't it CUTE!!!!

This mug was definitely LOVE at 1^st sight. When I 1^st laid eyes on it – I just knew I had to have it.

The white & black polish is just that: White & Black by KleanColor & the GOLD polish is OPI but I didn’t catch the actual name on the polish

This was a really simply manicure… The bow tie came out a little sideways but for the most part I think I did ok.  What do you guys think?

Just Another MANICure Monday… (On Tuesday)

I hope everyone week has started out  to a GREAT! As far as I’m concerned… I’ve been supa busy with trying to get my foot back into my business that I haven’t had the opportunity to blog and comment on blogs like I should. I will be around this week blog hoping so you shall see me if you haven’t seen me on your blog in a while. With the limited amount of time I have these days I didn’t even get a chance to do my nails. {Side Eye}  Yeah, Yeah, yeah… I know shame on me.

But WAIT!!!! Lucky for me I did have some $1 Nail Decals (from the dollar store) stored away so I applied them to my last week mani. Please don’t judge me… Desperate Times cause for Desperate Measures.  

  

This is a quick fix for an on the go Mani… the downfall is if you have large nails the decals may not fit. Lucky, for me my fingers are small. lol

Please be mindful that you can stay in touch with me via Instagram (as that’s where I spend most of my time now a days)

Also, If you haven’t had a chance to shop my online store I welcome you to take a peek inside. I’m adding more and more items weekly.

Be sure to visit the store at: LA Lynn's

Just Another MANICure Monday… OPI & Essie!

Happy Monday… I’m feeling good and feeling GREAT! I hope everyone had a wonderfully blessed “Thanksgiving” as I did. There are just sooo many things that I am “thankful” for that I don’t even have enough blog space to share. Just know that that for the most part I am truly thankful for the air that I breathe and that I’m alive and well to share with Family, Friends, and of course my blog world! Without you guys my blog could not be successful and I thank each and every one of you for taking the time to READ or even just click on my blog to see what’s happening with me. Just to know that I was though of means a lot!  

Alright, Alright, Alright… before I get all mushy mushy let me also share that I am “thankful” and super excited to have

re-launched my online LA Lynn’s “Faith and Fashion” Store. For those who have been following, reading, speculating, and truly know me know that this is where my true passion is… Everything I do I try and do it for the Kingdom w/o being too “churchy” Ugh…. (Church Folks) lol No seriously, I love spreading the word while enhancing your wardrobe.  

It actually felt good re-launching the store and having ground breaking $ALES. I’m so grateful for everyone that has shopped and for those who plan on shopping my store. So, if you still haven’t shopped LA Lynn’s yet you can still grab those CYBER MONDAY deals and shop my “already” amazing low prices here à LA Lynn's 

 I guess I can go ahead and share this week’s mani now. J
