Sales, sales, sales....  With the Holiday Season... they are everywhere. ;) I will try to list them all here on my blog so you have some ideas on where to shop.

Have you ordered your Naked Palette 2 online Urban Decay's website yesterday?  If so - I can't wait to see photos.  I have the original first edition palette.  I have been doing some comparisons and wasn't too thrilled about the new one... it really did just seem like the same as the first edition... and if there are colors that I don't have... I'm sure I can find dupes of them. ;)

Stay tuned for more posts... I will surely be trying to blast those out this weekend. <3 Honey

Fun time in the Halloween Aisle... lol

The last few years that we celebrated Halloween - the boys really weren't that interested in any of the costumes, masks, etc... and when I say boys - I mean my twins.  Now, they laugh and get excited at all the really cool things. ;)

Today - while doing some shopping and waiting for my eldest to finish with school - we walked through the Halloween aisle in our local CVS.  The twins were so excited to try on masks and look at all the fun things.  There was nothing but smiles.  Dad and I even got in on the fun. ;) Here are a few pictures from our 5 minutes of exploring the Halloween section. ;)

above - Isaiah, wearing the Jason mask.  You can't see through the mask, but Isaiah kept giggling and laughing... constantly smiling. lol

above - here's Luke - he thought it was so interesting that his nose was no longer soft... but really hard.  He kept pinching it. lol

above - this mask looked so cute on Luke.  His big brown eyes shown through and it really did match him.  His brother Isaiah was laughing the whole time.

above:  lol - Isaiah's chinese kind of pulls strong in this photo. lol

  

of course,  my hunny and I had to get in on the action too. lol ;) The boys were cracking up.

Such an awesome and fun time and the twins had a blast.  Too bad big brother wasn't with us - he would have loved the fun too. 

Have a great Thursday.

Date Night with my Love - celebrating 14 years together

I wanted to blog about my awesome night out with my love last night - but was busy working on I-Candy Couture's website and lost track of time.  But - I didn't forget. lol

My husband and I almost never go out by ourselves without the kiddos... so when we do - we enjoy the quite time, we talk and really enjoy one another.  We miss our babies after an hour - but, we try to make use of the time we have together ;)

We ate dinner at Sansei - one of our favorite Sushi Bars & Restaurants.  The food and service is always awesome. ;)  Here's what we ate.

Panko Crusted Ahi Sushi Roll

Rainbow Sushi Roll and in the middle of those - a lobster asparagus roll

fresh Uni sushi

shrimp tempura roll

Miso Butterfish

teriyaki steak

Shrimp & lobster Ravioli with Truffle Oil drizzle

Macadamia nut crusted fried ice cream with chocolate & caramel sauce. 

Everything was so delicious although we usually order the exact thing all the time.  I always enjoy my special time with my husband.  With the hustle and bustle of every day life... we often don't have any time with one another. I was extra excited to have this time and enjoyed my date with him.

Last but not least... the best part of our dinner...

This EXTRA HANDSOME Man! ;)

It's Quarter after One, I'm so alone and I need you now!

I don't know what it is about this song, but since the first time I heard it, I loved it and it remains to be one of my favorites.  Obviously - the words don't completely pertain to me or my relationship... but imagining myself without my husband... I know I would turn to this song consistently.  Not to mention, when he isn't near me, I feel so lost... I am complete wreck, I can't think straight and I am always so tempted to call my husband... even if  he is only gone at 1am because he has to work... I'm nothing without him.

So - this week's "Ear Candy" is Need You Now by Lady Antebellum... Enjoy! xoxo Honey

My twins... just a few months old.

I was in trouble the moment I found out I was pregnant... They absolutely stole my heart from the beginning. ;)

Just because...

So much is going on over the next few weeks... so you may be seeing "short & sweet" blog posts from me. :)  It's not necessarily a bad thing... short & sweet is awesome.

So, I know that those of you who have befriended me on Facebook have possibly seen these photos... but it truly is some of my favorites of me & my love. I wanted to share them with all of you.

If you follow me on any of my social networking sites... you know how much my family means to me.  

My husband is absolutely AWESOME.  He has made me a better person...  he has inspired me to love life and live each moment to the fullest.  He has made me a mother to 3 wonderful boys (who can drive me crazy from time to time...lol).  I love him.  

I wanted to share these few moments with my friends...  to those that have yet to find this kind of love... don't worry - you will, and when you do - you will have butterflies all the time, just like me.  And, those that have found this kind of special love... I'm sure you know exactly how I feel every single day of my life.

Day 4 - Blog Challenge, What is a song that matches your mood?

Day 4 - What is a song that matches your mood - post a video or lyrics if possible.

Things have been crazy for me lately... this week is especially trying as we have photoshoots back to back for my photography business and an 8 hour wedding on Saturday... not to mention that Halloween is on Sunday. I chose this song not only because I consider it a favorite... but because I am really feeling like I could use a mental relax day. With the kids and the home business... there hasn't been much time for sleep or to get much personal stuff done.

So - Amy Winehouse... cheers to you. And, to the rest of you... wishing you all a great rest of the week. ;-)

Money Can't Buy Me Love...

I was reading through one of my old blogs and came across an old entry from Jan. 22, 2007. I can't remember exactly what was going on at that time, but I do know that I was out of work due to a bad injury to my left ankle (I had a class 3 sprain on my ankle). I just had to copy and paste it in this post... because almost 4 years later - I am happy and content on my decisions and where I chose to be and who I chose to be with. Thank you Lord for guiding me in the right direction. Now - all I have to focus on is financial freedom and life will be at its absolutely perfection. ;-)

January 22, 2007 -

I'm about to head off to go sleep, it is 11:57pm and my eyes are getting tired. I've been out of work for almost 3 weeks, and frankly... I'm losing my mind. I enjoy and love being with my son everyday and spending extra time with my husband... Don't get me wrong... this is not the complaints I have. I'm just irritated at the world and all it produces sometimes... I've had weeks, with really nothing to do but to contemplate on how much I need to change my priorities... My husband and son have always been a priority in my life... but I've allowed work and people who I see everyday run how I live and what I allow to be important. From now on, my family & myself come first... I'm not going to let work or other things tell me when to stop, drop & roll. Forget that shit! Yes, it's important to work, but I think I do more than work everyday. I eat, sleep & drink my job & it needs to stop. I will vow to go to work each day, work my 8 hours I'm supposed to... and go home.

It's already bad enough that I work over 35 miles away from home. that's over an hour worth of driving one way... I gotta start focusing on what's important in my life & stop letting my job rule it...

Money Can't buy me Love!

Because You deserve to be loved, just the way you are...

It seems like everywhere I go - someone asks me... how is it that after 13 years, you and Kevin (my hubby) are still going strong? Or - many will comment on how cute we are together...

It takes two people to make a relationship grow and thrive and first & foremost - communication is the key to a successful relationship. But, in my experience... there is so much more... and Bruno Mars completely captured it in his song - "Just the Way You Are".

If you have a guy or gal in your life... this song really explains it all. Does he/she express to you how beautiful you are.... Everyday? Everyone wants to know that they are beautiful in their loved ones eyes' - without judgement.

A true love - a soul mate, will love you exactly the way you are... and will love everything about you. If a man (or woman, for my male readers) tells you that you need to alter your appearance, I think that you as a person must do a lot of soul searching to see if this is what you really want in a relationship. You don't need plastic surgery, there is nothing wrong with a little junk in your trunk and you certainly don't have to run a marathon. Love yourself and if he loves you - he will love you just the way you are.

~ I love you my hunny Kevin ~
