Living Room Update

It has been quite a bit of time since my last post. I have not been a very good blogger lately...to catch up with everything let me start with: Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! HA, I know I am so late on this but I hope everyone had a wonderul holiday season!!

I decided a few weeks back to order some fabrics for several different projects I had in mind. One being the living room. I ordered this awesome fabric (from fabric.com) with the a goal to make some new pillows to update the living room. I got around to making the pillows last week and can not be happier with how they turned out!!

Living room fabrics

I love these fabrics together and can't wait to get everything put together. For now, I am so happy with how my couches are looking!



What do you think of the fabric?

 

One more major update is...we FINALLY got a mantel! I am really so excited about having a mantel. When we moved in the house there was nothing on this bare old fireplace. I updated the brick with a chocolate brown color last year, you can see all the details here.  But, we still never had a mantel!

Last month, my friend and I went to Scott's Antique Show and I found a mantel that I thought would be perfect for our living room. The one they had there was just a little longer than what we needed so they built a custom one for me! They came and installed it last Thursday!!

Couldn't be happier with it! Georgia Woodworks(Fayetteville, GA) made it for me. They did a great job!  

These are a few of my favorite things...[Favorite Skin Care Products]

It's about time that I devote a post to all of my favorite skin care products. Considering the fact that I do sell Mary Kay, I definitely think it's time! So for all you skin care loving ladies stay tuned! 

I will admit that it is hard for me to narrow things down because I try new products all the time and use many products daily! I have managed to put most of my favorite skin care products into this post!

I will start with my weekly favorites..

Timewise Microdermabrasion Set:
This is a two step process that immediately fights fine lines and wrinkles and refines pores. This product makes your skin feel so incredibly smooth and is sure to make a difference in those fine lines! It is recommended to use this every 2-3 days so I use it a few times a week.

Satin Hands and Satin Lips:
...need I saw more?! This product is amazing! The satin hands pampering set is a three step process that leaves your hands feeling like satin!!

Satin Lips is a two step process leaving your lips feeling silky smooth!Cannot live without this in the cold/winter months especially!

Indulge Soothing Eye Gel:

This also is exactly what the name says...soothing! It has a cooling affect that feels awesome!

Now we are on to the fave daily items...

Timewise 3-in-1 Cleanser:
This product cleans, exfoliates and refreshes your skin while fighting signs of aging!

Timewise Age-Fighting Moisturizer:
 Did you know that one of the main causes of wrinkles is lack of moisture?! You better believe I am using this moisturizer twice a day!

Timewise Night Solution and Timewise Day Solution:
The night solution helps fade away deep lines and wrinkles. This is one of my favorite things to use for sure; I love how it makes my skin feel! 
The day solution includes SPF in it to protect skin from the sun throughout the day.



Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover:

This is the absolute best eye make up remover I have ever used! It is Amazing! I am convinced that it conditions your eyelashes helping them stay strong!! It doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy either, which I love! 

Intense Moisturizing Cream:
I am loving this product right now with the weather change! It is great for those target spots that seem to get dry more quickly than the rest of your face.

So these are some of my absolutely must have products! Hope you enjoy!

Election...

I have withheld these past few weeks from voicing political beliefs or from stating my opinion on any social media sites. I know that everyone has a right to voice their opinion but, I think that people should stay informed and learn through their own knowledge rather than reading peoples' personal opinions on Facebook.

Last night was hard to swallow, to say the very least. I have been so tired of seeing peoples' political standpoints for the past couple weeks that I thought I would be happy it was over. Wrong! Reading WHY people voted for our president last night made me truly feel sick to my stomach.

Although I have not lived in a country that currently practices the kind of health care we are headed towards, my husband has. It truly breaks my heart to think that in a few short years we could have children living under this as well. I could not imagine my child breaking their arm and having to wait weeks for care. For all the health care professionals that worked so hard to get their degrees and to be informed to take care of us...why should they have to take a pay cut?? There are so many viewpoints that I disagree with, this one is just standing out a lot right now!

I just have to remember that ultimately my God is in control! That is truly so comforting to say out loud!
This verse is more comforting than ever right now...

"Know that the Lord works wonders for the faithful; the Lord hears when I call out." Psalms 4:4

We just have to remember that the Lord will take care of us! This election will not change my faith! I am still going to work hard for everything I have and I know that my family and I will be successful!

Wedding Festivities

The past three weekends have been filled with wedding festivities. These things seem to always come in waves! We will start with the first of the three weekends...

We celebrated the engagement of my best friend, Andi!! This was so special to me because we have been best friends for over 15 years now! We have shared so many special times together and I cannot wait to celebrate on her wedding day! Here is the whole crew...

And here we are..we have come along way since bangs and braces..

The next weekend we headed down to New Orleans to celebrate for Andi's bachelorette weekend! We had such an amazing time, mostly because we had these awesome hats..

Seriously check out these hats.. Andi's sister in law made one for each of us! She seriously has a talent for this! They were a huge hit to say the least! Andi's even lit up! It was so much fun!

And finally, this past weekend we celebrated the marriage of one of Tyler's closest friends, Derek! He and Derek have been friends longer than Tyler and I have been together(which is over 7 years now).

I believe they met back in high school! I am so glad Derek found his perfect bride and that we were able to celebrate with him!

Their wedding was such a dream! The location, weather, decor, everything was beautiful! Not to mention the bride was also stunning!

Here's to a lifetime of happiness and many, many blessings to come for Mr. and Mrs. Hasley!

Bedroom Remix

I have been thinking about redecorating our master bedroom for a while now. I was looking on my pinterest boards two or three weeks ago and realized I had pinned the same master bedroom three times...three times..the exact same thing! (here is the pin) That is when I realized I really need to start working on the master. I started putting together an idea board(I got this idea from my awesome friend Ashley) that included some of the things I had pinned and things that I would like to incorporate in the room. This is what I came up with:

(Sources-Pottery Barn, Etsy, West Elm, and this blog for the curtains )

So far I have the Duvet Cover (West Elm) and a Quilt (Steinmart). Still debating about pillows, curtains and lamps!

{Side note: if you need a quilt RUN to Steinmart! Their prices are ridiculously awesome.}

 

Also to make an appearance in this room are these awesome mirrors I found at Homegoods:

Carter is here! (about a month ago!)

On August 27th (early in the morning) I got a call from my sister. She thought she could be having early signs of labor. She called the doctor and although she already had an appointment scheduled that day, the nurse told her to come in early and they would check everything out! Sure enough, she was right! They sent her straight over to the hospital. What did that mean for me??  I was running around like crazy trying to get everything ready to leave ASAP!! (this is one of those times where I really hate living so far away from my family)..

Tyler and I left as soon as we could. The 4.5 hour drive felt like a year and I felt like I could have a panic attack at any moment! My sister was in labor...Ahhhh! We arrived at the hospital around 3:30pm. I was beyond excited that I would be able to see my sister before she had the baby! She was progressing pretty well and we knew it wouldn't be long until we could meet that precious baby! About an hour later the nurses sent us out...it was time!!

At 4:56pm baby Carter was born, 6lbs 7oz! He was absolutely perfect!  

I love this baby so much already!

Who couldn't love this little face?
