I decide to go in to the inside of the recycling center building to see what they had. When I came across this stripe cardigan. Which it not my size at all. Its an x-large. I told myself I would make it work. So I brought it home with me. Washed it and put it in my closet for a day I want to be warm but comfortable too. Which that day is today. To give the sweater some shape. I just add this skinny belt with rhinestone on it.  

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. So I'm wearing this cardigan because it has grey in to honor the cause.  My mom, My MIL, Grandma and a few friend all have this.  In December 2007 I almost lost my mom to diabetes.  I will never forget this day. It was 3am in the morning and I got a call from my dad. Say you need to come home. The Dr's don't know if your mom going to make it. After  I hang the phone up. I called my mother in law up and told her what was going on. Mind you I was crying like blood Mary. That I woke my husband up.  That morning he went to work and they told him to go home. I didn't even brother trying to go in to work that day. When my husband got home from work. We hop on the computer and book our flight to go from Germany to Michigan. 

I had friends come and watch Priscilla(my dog) and stay at my house. Then the next morning we were off to Michigan. The first thing we did was go to the hospital. My mom end up being in a diabetes coma for 3 week. Also she had a stroke as well. I'm so happy that my mom made it out of this. I'm also happy that she has manger to get her sugar under control.

Inspire Swap


Hello Everyone. Back in June I sign up for the inspire swap. That  Rachael of The Rachael way and Meghan of They call her Meghan hosted. The swap reveal was on July 2. The reason why this post is over a month late. Is due to the package I sent to my partner Becky of  Mise En Place. Took a month to get to her. Which I was super worried it got lost in the mail. So I was super happy when she told me last week she got her package.


I had so much fun getting to know Becky. With the little time we had to get to know each other before we had to ship are boxes out. The reason why we didn't have much time was due to Becky live in Australia and I live in Germany. So we were trying to get are boxes to each other before the swap deadline. Which as you readied my box didn't make it in time. The box Becky sent me took only 2 weeks to get to me but for some odd reason my box decide to take forever.  One thing we learned about each other is we are July babies.

Thanks aging for being an awesome swap partner Becky. I truly love everything you sent me. I will be used and eating everything you sent me. Even the box you mailed the package in will be getting reused. 

What Becky sent me
~Australia Post Card~ Which will be hanging up on my cork board
~Paper Mate Pen~ Which I'm always on a hurt for a pens to use
~To do list~ I love making list. So this notepad is going to come in handy
~2 Celebrity balm~ These lip balms smell amazing
~Allen's Killer Pythons Gummy~ If you read my blog on a regular basic. Then you know I'm a gummy bear fan.
~ 2 Pink cupcake oven mitten~ Which are going to be put to good use. Since the ones I had were going bad.

You can see what I got Becky HERE.

HAVE A GREAT WEDNESDAY.

  Elf Cranberry From Valentines Day Swap Gift From Tiffany of Endless Bliss
  Kiss Nail Artist Flat Sticker Christmas From Scribble

Hello Everyone. It's getting close to the end of the month. So I decide it is time to do my nail recap for the month. Which this month I painted my nails 4 time. Almost all the nail polish I used this month were new. Only 3 nail polish I used this month. Have been used in the past. Which they were the O.P.I. Almost Famous, O.P.I Havana dreams and Sally girl in Vernis a Ongies. 

A couple new nail products I try this month were insta gel strips. Which they are super easy to do. They do take longer to do then regular gel nail polish. I also try out another color in the Emma-easy UV polish. Which I totally like the Emma-easy UV polish better then the Blue Sky Gel Polish. One reason I say this is. The Blue Sky polish only last a week. Which the Emma Easy UV polish it last 2 weeks. Like gel nails are supposed to last.  

I also try the Kiss Nail Artist Flat Sticker for the first time. They are super easy to use. You just let your color polish dry. Then you put the sticker on and add top coat. 

Since its starting to get warm out. You will be seeing my toenails in this recap. Which I know I didn't do a great job paint my toenail. I need more practice at it. I will get it one day.
