If you knew me you'd know...

(inspiration from this blog came from Shug in Boots)

...I absolutely, beyond anything else, hate being late.

...I hate anyone else being late just as much. I'm anal about people being on time.

...I love my dog more than almost anything else in my life.

...I brush my teeth when I'm nervous.

...I'm OCD when I'm at work and I'm an organization freak when it comes to paperwork but at home, my messiness comes out. (sorry Mack)

...I have a Lily Pulitzer planner, which I love, but I'm constantly erasing and re-writing things because I can't stand my planner looking messy. 

...I'm a terrible cook.

...though I do the laundry, I hate it, with a passion.

...I drive a car that's manual and though I enjoy it (except in traffic) I do wish for a bigger, more spacious, automatic SUV.

...I love days when I can open my windows and air out my house.

...I'm way too forgiving at times and I tend to give people way too many chances (friends, family, whoever)

...I love to read. 

...My mom is one of my best friends, though she still puts me in my place when needed.

...I love babies. I know my purpose in life is to be a mom and though I can't fulfill that role yet, I'm happy to love on all my tiny babies at work.

...I love my family (both mine and Mack's). I value my relationships will all my family more than anything else. They are who I depend on at the end of the day.

...My life is far from perfect but I try to stay as positive as possible.

...the way to my heart is through chocolate covered strawberries.

...I dislike Valentine's day and therefore buy zero presents for anyone. I only believe in giving cards on this Hallmark holiday.

With Valentine's day fast approaching, I'm sure there's plenty of you who, unlike myself, celebrate all it's wonderfulness and good for you! I hope everyone has a happy Valentine's day!

It took me 23 years...

...to find an awesome unbelievable miraculous face product.

Image skin care has some amazing products.

Check it out

I recently took my mom to a spa to get facials for her birthday and the nice woman who did my facial opened my eyes to these new products.

I've struggled for the last 10 years, literally, with my rosacea. It continuously got worse through my high school years and thankfully my mom, who has it too, introduced me to Merl Norman. Merl makes this super awesome face powder that's done wonders for covering the immense amount of redness from my rosacea.



I prefer to not wear make up 24/7 and though it doesn't bother Mack that I have rosacea, whenever I take my make up off I can't help but be self-conscious. Maybe that stems from all the rude remarks in high school about me looking like Rudolph? (Because my nose was always bright red)

Either way, it led me to citrus facial cleansing heaven. I bought this nifty little trial pack from the spa just to see how it worked. This is my SECOND day using the products and my face is lookin' like the bomb, not to brag or anything, it's just taken a while to get something that actually worked.


There's a ton of different lines of facial cleansers/packages you can get for different skin types this one's just the one made for people who have sensitive skin. 

As I research these products more, I realize the larger bottles sell for at least $30 a bottle, per product. I've never been one to believe in paying a ton for things like make up (with the exception of Merl Norman) but I guess when you find something that works this great, it's worth it right? Let's hope so. It looks like I'll be dishin' out at least $90 for the parts of the pack that I really need.

I hope everyone had as great a weekend as I did!
