Anti-Stress

So with all the things going on with my life right now a little anti stress routine is CRUCIAL Figured if anyone else is stressing(like most do) you might want to try this.
I found doing this nightly or atleast 3x a week, really makes me feel calm before I go to sleep, which then helps me actually GO TO SLEEP, instead of sitting there with my thoughts racing.

After washing my face, doing my toner and face cream I will use

~ Either the Orange Peels or the Cucumbers Peels for my eyes

~ Then I do This Soothing cool face mask

~Which I then follow with using this Anti-Stress Pillow

~ I then rub Nieva Cream onto my elbows, neck and hands

That little nightly routine, makes me feel so much more relaxed!!!

Something I love about the Earth Theraputic's brand is that they are cost effective. I can still get some pamper stuff and not go broke. Of course there are the products that are "pay raise" type products, but I will save those for another post!

What do you do to help you de-stress?

High End Street Shopping

So I did post any August shoe buys this month, because I am saving my mula for my London trip begining of Sept. I have been there before but not overnight yet. I will be there for 4 days. So of course I will be shopping on HIGH END STREET. I have looked at those stores in my UK edtions of Cosmo, Marie Clarie etc...and looonged to shop there.

NOW I CAN!

I will have to be careful when I am looking at these, being velet or fake velvet they could ruin quite easily. So I will make sure I think about it. But I like the simple look of them.

This reminds me of the 80's like no other, it is really in over here in Europe. Espeically the UK. I looove this dress though. Not to 80's. I have been on a polka dot kick since June as well.

I have nothing floral, cause well I was never really into in my early 20's. I have seen so many wonderful prints this spring/summer so I figured what the heck, I would get some. My first purchase was the nine west pumps. But I hope they still have this dress in the store, I want it, it has pockets too. Plus I could put a jacket and pair of closed toe pumps and it would be professional.

I love the bright pink color and the funky straps, plus the heel is not thick but not thin, A lil pricey though at over 100 bucks.Still should be on the maybe list.

These destroyed boyfriend jeans from Topshop I think were roughly 30 bucks converted to the US Dollar. Not bad I say.

I looooove this dress, I like that it looks like a 2 piece and it is not. The deep burgandy is a good color against my skin tone I think too.

I know I do not normally post clothes, but I figure since a special trip will post some of the outfits I am digging and might buy. What do you think?

This comfy shirt is at Matalan, a really cheap place to shop in London. It is going for less than 20 bucks. That is with the conversion from pounds into dollars. I would wear this with the pair of destroyed boyfriend jeans.

I always wanted a pair of Wellies, these are going for less than 20 bucks as well. Aren't they cute, to bad we adults can not look as carefree and cute running and splashing in the rain. Here in Belgium it rains like it does in London, so I will get good use out of these.

Pink is my new obession, Pink is...

I started setting up this post, to show y'all my shoes, and because they are hot pink, I started singing Aerosmith's "Pink". Sooooo though it was fitting to put some of the words in the title of the blog. I know these are not high heels, but I had to have them. I work with kids at a youth center..so can not wear high heels every day. It seemed like a good idea to get more flats and such.

These of course come from SHOMETRO via EBAY.

I paid $37.99(includes shipping) They retail at around `$80.

Okay, well big hugs to y'all out there in bloggy land.

Happy Slamming Sunday.

Flordia Retirement

These shoes are so soft, and comfy. I really dig them. Don't they remind me you of a print of a couch you would see in Flordia? Like around a retirement community?? The heel is not to high, and the little knot in the front is great.

I am a dweeb, and that is a reason I got these. Well and they were on sale. They are Nine West's: Purchased for $ 29 bucks.

Shoe Dazzle

So this post has been a long time coming, I apologize. I have 3 other pair of sweet shoes to post on here as well. Real Life, got in my way of blogging. HOW DARE IT!!=)

So here is the promised, step by step reaction to Shoe Dazzle.


Step 1. Get the box.

Step 2. Open the box, to get to another box. Eerrrr mmmk, well atleast this one has pretty flowers on it.=)

Step 3. Open that pretty box to see the pretty shoes. I was hit with what smelled like real leather, that can not be??? I figured it would be fake for that price. Well if it is fake, this novice can not tell. They are protected really well. Each shoe is wrapped by itself, then it has foam stuffed it in to keep the shape. Which a lot of strappy shoes don't do. Plus they include a protective bag. I really like that some shoes and bags are doing that more frequently it is nice. That way they are protected, regardless if you keep the box.

Step 4. See the pretty shoes, I tried them on, but those pictures will not be posted. Because my toes were looooking fffffff-ugly. =) It is a real word, well in the Bridgette's Dictionary. I am happy 40 bucks, for a good pair of high, simple white, sturdy feeling heels.

My husband from some reason thinks they are ugly? What do you gals think? I just wanted a pair of white heels, I do not have any, well I did not have any. The other choices seemed to shiny, and sometimes I attribute shiny with cheap. When it comes to shoes, okay well shoes I do not trust.


All in all, I will do shoe dazzle again. I did not do it this month since I will be going to London for 5 days. They are on the pound, and they have AWESOME stores. Soo saving for shopping up there.


I will hopefully be posting a bit more regulary now that life has calmed down. I hope the people who were reading me keep it up, I love readers.=) If you have done Shoe Dazzle, let me know what you thought.

June 2009

So it will be a bit before I can read all of our your fabolous blogs, see your lovely outfits Iwish I had and comment on your awesome style. I have lots to do, I am getting custody of my 3 younger siblings, and it is happening very soon, with all that and college I have missed to many days and already have toooons of blogs to catch up on. It is a long story but in short

I had a crappy childhood, love my mom but she has issues and things she has always needed to fix, in a bad, bad place right now and it is not good for my two brothers and sister(ages 12,10 and 9) soo I mentioned letting my husband and I have custody for a year, let them have a happy home and big bonus it is in Europe. Well she said yes, so have passports, court paperwork, miltary paperwork, looking into getting them into the school system, etc etc etc..getting house ready, make up their rooms,.phew

So this is just to say If you notice the absences of my comments, which I hope you might =) hahah just kidding y'all have so many followers. Plus me not posting any shoe posts. That is why, it might be too much info for some of you, I just wanted to put it out there.

UPDATE*** July 1st

I started to write this back on the 21st of June, even TOOK this long to finish it. I have bought two new pair of shoes, some awesome rings on etsy and numberous other crap to hurry and get some new stuff in before my ban started. I will be posting those pictures..well um sometime in the summer.=) I said I would do it from July 1st to the 31st. It is the 2nd day and I am doing okay. Just have to have the power to delete the emails I get with all the good deals.

Editors Note::::

Please ignore the bug bites on my legs, my swollen left ankle and dirty floors Especially the brown rug...that is in the entry way and the dogs always sleep on it. Hard to keep hairless unless I vaccum everyday, and I all ready do it 3x a week..=) cheers
