Show and Tell!

Monday, October 15, 2012




1. When you were 17, tell us what kind of car you drove, where you worked, and what you were usually up to on the weekends?

My car was a 98 Chevy Cavalier and I loved it. I whipped that thing around like nothing and enjoyed how wonderful it was on gas. I had that car through college, minus air conditioner and with overheating. 


I was a looney tunes so get ready for this. I had 3 jobs when I was 17. They were at a local deli, a waitress at a pizzeria and ShopRite. Yea, I have no idea how I did it. 


My weekend always included Friday and Saturday nights at the pizzeria, early mornings at the deli and late nights spent not doing what I should have been doing. How did I ever manage all of that?



2. Show us a picture of you when you were 17 {roughly}.


very roughly...I was a little over 18 here but all my other pictures are in storage :(


3. When you were 17, tell us what you wanted to be when you "grew up."

At this time I wanted to be magazine editor. Had decided I was going to college for journalism and loved to write. I wanted to be a city girl, even applied to NYU because I knew that would get me there. Life had other plans, for the better :)

4. When you were 17, tell us the kind of boys that you dated. Did you have a type? Do you have a relationship you remember well? Tell us about it.


I had the athletic, jerky Typical girl saying I wanted the nice guy but always found the jerk. But I would just like to say the Rascall Flatt's song, " Bless the Broken Road" that led me to you :)

5. When you were 17, tell us where you pictured your life 10 years from then. Did it turn out the way you expected it to?


Well, I am not to 27 yet but I would have to say half yes, half no. The biggest was I never, ever though my mom wouldn't be in my life a mere 5 years later. I had thought I would already have a little babe by now but I know that was not meant to be and am kind of glad. God has his plan I guess. I love my sleep and would never be able to handle a baby right now. He knows that. 


I did think I would have a job I love and be more successful in my career. Isn't that why I just applied to all those colleges? That is the one area of my life that makes me go crazy. But everything happens for a reason, right?


These are always so much fun and I can't wait until next week!!


Friday's Letters

Friday, October 12, 2012














Time for a Friday's letters after a wonderful week vacation. Linking up with Ashley at Adventures of Newlyweds!

DEAR WEDDING DRESS- Seriously in.love. I CANNOT wait to get you and wear and everything!! You are everything I never expected and I want you here tomorrow to stare at everyday!

Dear bridesmaid dresses- So excited I found you so fast! And you are absolutely perfeccccccctttt for my theme ;) Can't wait to see all my beauties in them :)

Dear blog- what is up with that tab? And why can't I get rid of you? Any suggestions very welcome.

Dear iPod-I might have a slight serious obsession with you already. Might have broken the record for amount of apps downloaded in a certain amount of time. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Dear Lily-As much as I love your nightly dishwasher watching sessions, there is nothing there. I swear. We even did the little kid " Lily, look.There is nothing there." And you still sit there. Please stop freaking me out and thinking there is a mouse living in the dishwasher.

Dear vacation- You were very much needed. You saved me my sanity and helped get a lot of wedding planning situated. I hope there is another one of you in my very near future. But who am I kidding. I'm in retail. See ya in February!!

As my fiance would say...mind blown, right? We only have two more years of these cool days. Just feel bad when it's on weekdays and no one can get married on these days. Well, I mean technically they can but you know what I mean. 

So what are you doing on this day? Today, I will be doing wedding activities that include sister, cousin and best friend! Finally, trying to get some things going with this wedding. I am just a little bit sad my vacation is coming to end. It definitely went too fast but I did get a lot done. I will try to post some pictures later next week about my great organizing skills. And I loved having so much mommy and Lily time. I know she loved it. (crazy cat lady alert)

I would also like to say this.
someecards.com - I'm sorry my recent absence from work caused you to have to do your own work.





Wedding Wednesday: Wedding Loot!

Wednesday, October 10, 2012




Ok, this week is filled with wedding fun. Basically because I feel like we are in crunch mode 8 months out. We definitely did procrastinate a bit. Oh well. Can't turn back time. Can only panic from here on out ;)

But what can make that all better? My Bride to Be VoxBox!!



What in the heck is that? Many of you might ask. Well, let me just start off by telling you where it's from. I joined the site Influenster a few months ago. It is a site that sends you free things to reviewand write about on their website. Basically, helping them promote products. And they are shipped in a certain group, called a VoxBox. It is catered to yourlifestyle and personality based on the surveys you fill out and what reviews you do. You can find out all the infomration on their new and improved website! Seriosuly, if you love social media, getting free stuff and reviewing products then you should join. Don't think about it, just join.

You can watch here and see all the great stuff I got for my first VoxBox!

this was my first video so I do apologize. also, how do you change the awful still frame?!



There you have it! I have started using the Shampoo, conditioner andrepair treatment and let me just tell you how amazing it smells. Everyday I just want to sit and smell my hair. And I do already see some change in my hair so it is helping the hot mess of hair I have.

That is the only one I have tried so far. Will try the eyelashes possibly this weekend and the Relax Gum will come in handy tomorrow I am sure. I have a hotel meeting for the wedding, dress shopping for myself, dress shopping for bridesmaids and maybe dealing with the maid of honorzilla ;) So I will be popping that gum in and putting it to the true test. Will let you know how it works!
