Thank You!

Rebekah over at Cupcake Caramel recently bestowed upon me the Versatile Blogger award and I am honored that she chose to include me with some other fabulous ladies.  Last spring Rebekah and I almost met by accident out in Texas Hill Country ~ we missed each other by one day apparently, neither one of us knowing the other was going to be there ~ it would have been fun to actually meet her.  The blog world is such a fun place and I have "met" some amazing women that I would love to meet in real life someday.

For my acceptance speech I must now tell you seven things about myself, so I thought I would tell you about seven of my favorite things, so here we go  . . . .

1.  

I have extremely dry skin and the have tried many, many products supposedly formulated for dry skin that all left my skin still...well, dry!  The product I have found to be the most effective has been Ponds Cold Cream.

Now I just need to find a moisturizer I love.  Still trying to find one of those because aging skin and dry skin makes skin look older even faster if you ask me.  I recently heard of an esthetician in Hollywood that uses only essential oils on her clients faces~ I might investigate that and give it a shot.

2.  

I am seriously old school {and drugstore chic} because I love Aquanet hairspray!

It's the best hairspray I have tried that gives my hair the lift and hold that it needs ~ even better than some of the salon brands I have tried.  Whatever works!  :)

3.  

I don't live near too many high end stores.  I shop mostly at places near me like JCPenney, Kohls and Target.

But I would love to shop brands like Kate Spade or Lilly Pulitzer.  They both have such fun, happy selections most of the time!

4.  

I love good music but prefer to listen to things that uplift me.  I don't like songs that have questionable lyrics, suggestions, inuendos, or bad words in them etc.  Currently I am still pretty obsessed with The Piano Guys.  They make the piano and cello cool again!

5.  

I love green and white.

When this trio showed up beneath a blog post one day it seriously made my heart so happy!  There is just something calming to me about green and white whether in a natural landscape, or in home decor.

6.  

My favorite flowers are lillies and gardenias.  I prefer them over any other flower.And that's what I put in my wedding bouquet nearly 18 years ago.

All white though, see?  In fact, now that I think about it, my wedding colors were white, green and gold.  Apparently I've loved white and green for a long, long time!

7.

I love fresh, healthy foods.  And apparently I love colorful foods too.  Check out some of the foods I have pinned on pinterest. 





Yum! That's how I like to eat!

Thank you for the award Rebekah!

 

 

 

I am thinking of who to pass this fabulous award on to next.  A lot of the blogs I like to read have already received it.  I think I may be passing it onto some of my friends with more private blogs that I appreciate so much!  I love the blogging community, friendships and inspiration I find out here on the ol' world wide web!  Cheers!
