Let 'em breath!

With all of the cute nail art and beautiful polish colors, we are able to do so many cute things to our nails, and honestly, how can we not? For me it gets so addicting, once my polish starts chipping, time to repaint my nails a different color. After a while though I started to wonder, "is this healthy?"

My thought: Scientifically I don't know but personally the way I see it is like this. Nail polish has chemicals in it, oxygen flows from your nails, if you continually put chemicals over it, I would think it would make it a tad harder for oxygen to flow through. But then again I could be totally wrong. 

But since I started thinking about it and since I paint my nails all of the time, I've decided to let my nails breath for a couple of weeks. It will definitely be a challenge for me since I love to have color on my nails. So I hope you join this little challenge with me and let your nails breathe a little. :)

Loretta is so precious....I love her.

We're the 3 best friends...

Freshman year of high school is where it all began. The three of us were in the same pep squad class and we instantly clicked. Now going on 8 years, we've been best friends since. We've had plenty of ups and downs but in the end, we're closer then ever. I am so blessed and thankful for there friendship and that through everything I've been through they've always been here for me. Finding a friendship like this is tough to come by so I'm beyond thankful to have these two in my life.

Today I'm feeling blessed

Today we sent my sister off to go meet her hubby who is in a 6 week training program for his new job. It's only been week 2 but my sweet sister couldn't wait the entire 6 weeks so she's on her way to go see him! How cute! :)

After sending my sister on her way my parents bought me a new Mac computer! It was such a shocker, I knew my parents were thinking about it but I had no idea it was actually going to happen...let alone be this soon! My dad has been eyeing my white macbook for some time now and he decided it was time to go ahead and take my old one and buy me a new one. I'm feeling so incredibly blessed and thankful for this. My parents are absolutely awesome!

And the count down begins. Over spring break this Texas family is heading to the big apple to visit some of our family. I am so excited for this, I have been wanting to go for some time now and it's finally going to happen. Now I'm having my eyes open for some cute warm clothes and scarves for the big adventure! I'll be sharing with y'all what I find and my outfits I put together! :)

Happy Valentines Day & Birthday

Today is the loveliest holiday, valentines day! I have been so excited for this day because of all the love and thankfulness you share with the people around you! But along with this lovely holiday is also my sisters birthday! My amazing sister has been with me through every up and down. She is a true definition of a sister and best friend.

It's been a tradition ever since we were little to wake up and exchange our valentines gifts to each other so that's what we did this morning. I loved all of my gifts from my parents and sister! And to top it off we had valentine day Krispy Kreme donuts, of course they were so delicious! 

I got a cat charm from my dad for my charm bracelet, tons of candy, and a BCBG generation bracelet from my sister that says "sweet". I love the way it looks with the rest of my daily arm candy (alex and ani & forever 21 bracelet)

Below are how my Valentine cards turned out with the name on them. Making cards saved me a lot of money. One card is around $3 each...so to buy my mom, sister and dad a card it would have came out close to $9.
