Michael Kors

Dear blog, lately I've been obsessed with Michael Kors. Recently I liked their page on Facebook and read about their lipstick line and I fell in love. I like Michael Kors because the products are so classy. I purchased these wedges and absolutely love them, they are so comfortable. I have been on the look out for some Michael Kors sandals or Tory Burch. I bought a pair of sandals from Tory Burch, but had to return them because they were $60 for just sandals. Also, it only had one logo on it. So I found these on sale at Dillards for $30. These sandals are very comfortable. This purse was given to me by a friend. I love this bag; it is very large. This is more of an everyday use purse. My husband bought this one for me. It is more of a fancy style. This is my Michael Kors wallet that I like so much, but I would like it in the tan pattern like the purse above. I purchased these MK earrings for my birthday. They look great. This is my phone cover fr...

Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Image
Dear blog, about two months ago I read the book Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple. I really enjoyed this book, but it left the ending very open to interpretation. I would like to think the best happened; that the family worked out their issues, but I just don't know. Never the less, the ending did make me mad not knowing for sure, I read the ending several times making sure I didn't over look anything important. I read the book in about two days. I couldn't put it down; I had to finish it. It's funny and it keeps you on your toes through the whole story. If you have not read this book I will tell you a bit about it. The story centers on a lady named Bernadette, her daughter Bee, and husband; they live in Seattle. It starts when Bee received her report card and she asked for a trip to Antarctica. At first everyone was excited, Bernadette talks to her helper from India to get her the tickets and plan the trip. Bernadette started to learn more about Antarc...

July Favorites

Dear blog, I'm so sorry that I'm a little late writing about my favorite books for May. For the month of May I read four books, who wouldn't? School is out and my reading list keeps getting longer. I read Emma by Jane Austin. I enjoyed the book, but it  dragged on for a while, it took some time to get to the point, but overall I loved the story. I'm a sucker for romantic novels. Following Emma I read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I also enjoyed this novel. It had my attention from the very beginning. The bad thing that happens to me and books that have movies made of them though, is that I try to compare the two and I always need to remind myself that they can't do it exactly the same (a perfect example is The Silver Lining Playbook) . Anyway, this book made me cry, it was such a great book. I would read it again. Jane Eyre is about a girl who has no parents and is left in the care of her aunt who does not like her, she sees her as a burden. Jane lives with h...

Red Juicing

Image
Dear blog, I recently had surgery in my mouth and have not been able to chew my food, so everything has had to be processed through the blender. I have been following and watching itsjudyslife for quite some time now and I always see them drinking green juices; so does other YouTuber's like anniejaffrey . The reason it's taken me so long long to start drinking these juices is because I always see them use a specific kind of blender and I don't have one like that so I can't make any juices, but I recently experienced making juices using a Hamilton Beach blender and it does a great job. Don't be afraid to try it. If you have just a regular blender at home, get it out and start using it. Here is one of the juices I've been drinking.  ingredients:  Half a red beet Four mini carrots Four asparagus A piece of ginger (only if you like ginger) Half an apple or mango Six leaves of spinach  Once my carrots, red beet, ginger, asparagus, and spinach are c...

Texas de Brazil

Dear blog, my younger graduated sometime this week and for lunch after his graduation my parents, brother, and  I went to the restaurant Texas de Brazil in Miami Beach, FL. This was my first time at this restaurant and I really liked it, I would love to go back again. This restaurant only has a few locations, here are the states where you can find the one; Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia. The buffet at the restaurant is $25 with a large selection, from salads, soups, and many other foods. Now if you want meat the price is $50 and includes mashed potatoes and sweet banana. The sweet bananas were delicious. There is a huge selection of meat, the meat servers come to your table if you have a little piece of paper saying you want meat. If you get tired of eating meat than you turned it to the other side that says no more meat. The restaurant is decorated beautifully, the food was...
