Happy Thanksgiving! Better late then never :p

Hello dolls!
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving with lotsa turkey & yummy food, followed by food comas, and seconds! I know i did :p

I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, cuz of all the delicious food, the packed grocery stores which excite me, all the giving people do around the holiday, and how the excitement doesnt stop right after the holidays! Its actually just the beginning! Black Friday, packed shopping malls, Christmas music, all the holiday cheer and decor! LOOOOOVE IT!

Here are some random Blackberry shots i got from this years Thanksgiving! Not enough, but it'll do!



This years Thanksgiving dinner consisted of Honey Baked Ham Store oven roasted turkey! Simply thee best i tell you! Ham, stuffed peppers, green bean casserole, rolls, potato salad, mashed potatoes, & corn! 
& i made my first Spinach Dip! I found the recipe on Pinterest, & its a Keebler recipe. It was absolutely delicious! And even better the next day! I was actually in Target yesterday and gawddd everything was on sale! So i stalked up on tons of spinach and cream cheese and i shall be making it again soon! If youd like the recipe i followed, let me know :)



Our day started out with snacking on Spinach Dip with crackers while we girls prepared all the food and table, and the boys watched the football game! Then my sisters boyfriend & my younger cousin arrived and we all sat down to dinner! After dinner we watched Christmas classics like Home Alone & napped before we headed out to do some Black Friday shopping at our local mall, which opened at 11pm. I met my friend Kaitlin there, & shopped till my feet gave out. Unfortunately i didnt score too much, but did get some fabulous deals on what i did actually purchase! 

I got 2 pairs of boots at a small store in our mall called Sheikh Shoes.
They were having a buy 1 get 1 free on all their womans boots! OMG you cannot beat that!
So i got this pair...(Which happens to be superrrr comfy and padded)

& this pair....

for $58!! Unbelievable!!
Im liking the wedge boots this year, cuz theyr more practical! I can wear them for hours, and walk further before my feet start to kill!

I also got a long sleeve grey with black lace trim sweater from Windsor that i couldnt find an image for, sorry!
It was my first time shopping at Windsor and i was very impressed with how affordable it is!
You guys should check it out here.

Did you score any Black Friday deals?
Or do you prefer to catch some Z's on Black Friday?

Thanksgiving Decor

Happy Sunday!
Hope your all having a good one.
Mine consisted of napping and tv, which im grateful for! 
I needed a relaxing day.

I cant believe its Thanksgiving this week! Omg, where in the world did the year go!
Every year i decorate the Thanksgiving table, and this year isnt going to be any different! I love it!
Im obsessed with Pinterest and have been searching for great ideas for this year!
Heres what ive pinned for inspiration! 
And FYI, most of my picture posts are picture heavy :p

Would this be an amazing Thanksgiving dinner spot or what?!




Pumpkin, leaves, and modge podge! Love it!

Im deff gonna be implementing burlap into my tablescape this year! Love this little detail!

How easy would this be to make? Just a candle hurricane, small wreath, and leaves! All things you can buy at the dollar store!

I am in LOVE with this! Its perfect if your doing flowers for your centerpiece!

Cinnamon Sticks wrapped around a candle would smell amazing!!


Love the orange runner!


Super easy to make and would add beautiful light to the room! I plan on making this and putting them all around the room for a warm glow! Just take tissue paper, fold the bottom about an inch or two, take another piece of tissue paper and do the same, and put it in the first slit, building up, until you reach your desired candle height! Did that even make sense?


Love these felt leaves! My dollar store has them. Check yours! :)

Easy! Considering most of what you need to create this look youll probably be purchasing on your Thanksgiving grocery run anyway! Grren beans, asparagus, and artichoke! If not, pick it up anyway! Very inexpensive way to achieve a nice earthy elegant centerpiece!


Also very inexpensive! Although id probably use a white candle, just to break some of the color up.



And can some one pleaseeee buy me this exact outfit for Thanksgiving? Is it not the most perfect outfit for the holiday!


Are you decorating for the holiday?
What are you planning on doing?
Have a great Monday!

Hi Ladies!!!!!

Hi lovely ladies!!!
OMG has it been FOREVERRRR or what??
 (was that just a lil obnoxious? ha)

I MISSED YOU GUYS! and i dont lie..not this time anyway...

Im sorry i have neglected this blog of mine for farrrr too long! What happened was i got a little busy, then when things cooled down, i was completely uninspired to write. We've all been there before ladies, right? or maybe im just a bad blogger...
I had the longest brain fart everrr and didnt know what to write about at all..Writers block, lets just say...
Ive missed emailing with some of you ladies!
And to those who wrote asking if i was alive, that was very sweet of you :)
Anyways, i can apologize forever but my excuse is really lousy so lets just move on, shall we?
How have you all been?!
Ive been good. I wish i could report all kinds of fun shinanigans that have been going on in my life but i cant..sadly. Ive been job hunting for something better for monthsssss and no matter how many resumes i send out, i either get 10x more spam the next morning or no call at all. Blehhh. This friggin sucks! I miss being able to get a job easy peasy like i used to! On numerous occasions in the past id come in to apply and get hired on the spot, or called back the next day with a job offer. I hate you freaking recession!!

Anyways, who's excited for the holidays?? EKKKKKS! <----can you tell i am?! 
Abotu 2 friggin weeks and its Thanksgivinggg! I love you orange and brown and red, and turkey and biscuits and everything else thats gonna go straight to my thighs!! And Starbuckssss! I find it funny that im not a Starbucks fan much, as i dont like anything with the coffee taste in my drinks, but once the holidays roll around, im willing to sacrifice my taste buds for the feeling of drinking Starbucks on a chilly day wearing boots n a scarf like millions of other Americans! ha!
ive decided this year im gonna help my mother out with the Thanksgiving menu! That'll be a whole other post tho..
And we've come to a decision about Christmas this year...We're doing Secret Santa with my family, that way we ALLL participate in GIVING as well as receiving! Every year we say we're all gonna get each other presents, and every year my siblings never fail to find an excuse not to participate in spending the money on getting the rest of us gifts but WILL gladly make a lengthy wish list for the rest of us. So ends up my parents and i are the only ones who ever buy anyone gifts. And because we're the only ones doing so, we always feel we gotta buy tons and tons more to compensate which results in an empty bank account on my end. Little rascals...

Anyways ladies, im glad to be back!
Im gonna ask you to pleaseeee help a sista out and let me know what you guys would like to see here on the bloggie, if theres anything youd like for me to write about, or cover.

Ill be doing a picture post soon with some random shots from the last few months that ive been MIA.

Have a snuggly evening pretty girls!

& ps. WTF happened? everyones expecting!! 
Like woah!!
Ill leave you soon to be expecting mothers with a lil somthin..
