Sunday Lovelies...

After some prodding from my friends, I've decided to start posting some of the deals and items that catch my eye. Sharing the wealth so to speak.

So, here are a few things I'm lovin' right now...

Revlon Grey Suede Nail Polish

My sweet friend, Whitney Rice, works with Revlon which means she has access to tons of samples. Thankfully, she donated this gorgeous Revlon Grey Suede polish to my collection and I'm obsessed with it. Such a classy and simple color, this polish has easily become my go-to color.

Whippy Cake
(www.whippycake.com)

I found this website, Whippy Cake, a few months ago which sells the cutest hair accessories. Each clip is the perfect vintage, eclectic accessory that elevates any outfit. I kept my choices a little on the neutral side for my first purchase, but there are so many other clips with fun patterns and colors that I can't wait to try.

Also, the owner of Whippy Cake does great hair and makeup video tutorials...which is how I found her website in the first place.

Happy Sunday everyone!!

Best. Decision. Ever.

3 years ago today, I married my best friend for time and all eternity.

Best decision of my life.

The Jig is Up...

For Mike's graduation vacation, we are going to Cancun!

I'm super excited for the vacation, but really bummed out that Mike figured it out. I was keeping this surprise for 2 months!

And that is hard for me since I hate surprises.

But in the end, I guess it doesn't matter when Mike figured it out. The important thing is we are going together.

He was pretty shocked too since I had him thinking we were going to Texas or Idaho for a week.

Yeah...that's right. I can be sneaky when I need to be.

We have 2 more weeks people! 2 MORE WEEKS!

Home Stretch...

We are entering into the last month of Mike's schooling and I cannot believe we are so close!

But now... it's Crunch Time!

Final Senior Project deadlines, job interviews, finals, etc. The last month of college is not for the weak. And for the wife of a student, there isn't much I can do to help...except keep him fed, clothed and somewhat rested....oh yeah, and dish out encouraging hugs and kisses.

My hugs and kisses are amazing for those of you that don't know.

So, life may be bullying us a little right now, but the tables are turning my friend.... Soon I will have my hubby back on the weekends and no more conversations revolving around school deadlines.

26 days!

Where is the World is Jess & Mike Pless...

Does anyone else remember the show 'Where in the World is Carmen San Diego'?

It use to be one of my favorite shows when I was a kid.

I've been singing the show's theme song all week this week since I've just booked Mike's Secret Vacation for his Graduation Celebration.

Except my version is tweaked just a little bit...

Mike is probably getting sick of my singing, but I am just so excited!

Mike has been working so hard and he will finally be graduating next month. So, as a little present, he and I are going on a vacation for a week and he has no clue where we are going.

And just in case he reads this blog - highly doubtful though - I'm keeping my lips zipped about the vacation location.

I'm so excited I could almost just pee my pants! No more homework, no more senior project, tests, etc. and I get more time with my hubby!

Plus I get to share in the vacation celebrations.

I am actually surprised I haven't spilled the beans yet...

Whoo Hoo!

Decluttering

My little mission this month has been to de-clutter

our house
my closet
my life... etc., etc., etc.

So, when I was cleaning out our extra closet, I found our DVD collection, I was super excited to find this little gem...

One of my favorite movies that didn't get that much publicity.

Love Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro. Love them all.

If you haven't seen it, go rent it. Just a cute movie that leaves me wondering if Michelle Pfeiffer ever ages!

Resoultions for the New Year

I'm a visual person.
I like pictures to illustrate my thoughts and feelings.

So, when I saw this gem...I knew it perfectly depicted my feelings after a season on indulging.

Anyone else feel the same way?

I'm so ready to crack the whip on my new resolutions.

Here's a few things on my list:

1. Handle my Stress-levels better

I'm not ready to admit my shoe addiction. Maybe 2012.

2. Stay positive, slow down and just enjoy the little things

3. Embrace all my quirks and nerdy attributes since that is what makes me unique

We will see how it goes this year. So far, I'm totally rockin' my new goals.

Never-mind that it is only January 1st.

Happy 2011 everyone!
