my favorite missionary

You've probably heard me mention my awesome brother, Allen who is serving a full-time mission for our church.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Allen is serving in Lithuania.  He sort of struggles with sending home photos on a weekly basis, so when he does it's like CHRISTMAS.  Here he is with some of the other missionaries in a park in downtown Kaunas.
They were singing Hymns and had many people stop and inquire about the church.

I just love my brother.  He is an awesome example to me.  Can't wait for him to come home this October!  woo hoo

versatile blogger, whaaa???

So, I've been MIA, AGAIN from the blogging world.  But I think I am back...I've got nowhere else to go.

My sweet friend Alexis gave my the VERSATILE BLOGGER award...pretty shnazzy, eh?  Naturally, awards don't come cheap...so I have to answer the following questions, then pass the award along to seven other bloggers.

If you receive the award, you link back to the person who gave you the award, and then pass it along to seven others.

The ten questions:

1. Why did you create your blog?

I've had my blog for several years now.  I first made it to keep a little journal for myself, since I am terrible at writing in a journal.  Now my blog is my 'go to' place.  I can vent here, tell my stories here, and I've enjoyed making new friends here.  I just LOVE to blog.  (even though sometimes I may suck at it)

 
2. What kind of blogs do you follow?

I love to read blogs that make me want to be a better person.
I love reading blogs that are optimistic, happy, and where you can feel like the blog authors friend.
I don't necessarily "follow" too many blogs, but I do have my favorites.
You know who you are ladies!

3. Favorite brand of make-up?

I love makeup.  I am a brand mixer.  I adore Lancome foundation/powder.  I love MAC eyeshadows and blush.  I love grocery store mascara, or SEPHORA.  If you ever see me in a Sephora store, you know you're in trouble.  As of late I usually wear mascara to work and thats it.  I only get really 'dolled up' to go out on the weekends.  I typically get super ready for CHURCH, funny huh?
4. Favorite brand of clothing?

There are too many to name.  I love love love anything and everything from Nordy's and Anthro, but I am not rich...yet.  So I typically mix and match my brands.  I love to shop at Target (yes, they rock), Nordy's, Forever21, Down East Basics, Anthro,

5. Indispensable make-up product?

Lipgloss and Mascara.  Nothing makes me feel prettier

6. Favorite color?


Green and Black.  Possibly together :)

 

7. Favorite perfume?

Oh my heavens to betsy!  I have tons of perfume.  Ready for the list?

Versace "Bright Crystal"

Vera Wang "Princess"

Anthroplogie "Amber"

Express "Express Love"

Coach "Poppy"

Chanel "Chance"

True Religion "Perfume"

Buckle "Coral"

Ed Hardy Perfume

Ralph Lauren "Ralph Rocks"
Ralph Lauren "Romance"

Victorias Secret "Sweet Kisses"

8. Favorite movie?


Meet Joe Black, Beauty and the Beast, Top Gun, Tommy Boy, Ghostbusters, Oceans 11, The Italian Job, Casablanca, The Blind Side, Singin' In the Rain, Indiana Jones

 

9. What country would you like to visit and why?

I would loveeeeeeeeee to visit France/Italy/Germany/Japan/India/Nepal

Lets just say I wanna marry someone who loves to travel as much as I do!

10. Would you rather forget to put mascara on one eye or forget blush on one side of your face?
I would rather put mascara on one of my eyes...I've actually done this before! :) eeek

She has been starving herself & has lost over 30lbs.

The One you just called stupid?
He has a learning disability & studies over 4hrs a night.

The One you just called ugly?
She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her.

The One you just tripped?
He is abused enough at home.

There's a lot more to people than you think.

{sting}

"Sting, is an English musician, singer-songwriter, activist, actor and philanthropist. Prior to starting his solo career, he was the principal songwriter, lead singer and bassist of the rock band The Police."

Can I just tell you how much I adore this man.

He is a musical genius.

I love his music.

I've been working a lot of 12 hour days the past two weeks and this man has become my best friend, I mean, hello...he's been singing to me non-stop.

My boss came in yesterday and said, "Wow!  Another Sting day, really?"

He's just that good people.  Have you ever really taken the time to listen to his music?

It's like a musical heaven.

He first was with the rock band called The Police.

They had some great hits.

Roxanne

Every Breath You Take

work-a-holic.
that's been me the past two weeks.

I worked from 8:30 AM - 9:00 PM tonight.
Do you see a problem with that?


ehhh, I do!  Especially when I dream about being at work while I am supposed to be dreaming about hottie men, or dreaming about shoes and perfume...

I had a nightmare that I had a customer call me and yell and freak out about their order being delayed because of their credit card problems...oh wait, that happened several times today.

do you ever feel like you've become a work-a-holic?
Is there a cure for this problem?

I went to the mall last weekend and bought myself this pretty little thing.

I know it doesn't cure my newly developed disease, but it sure smells sweet.
