Making a STATEMENT

I saw this DIY statement necklace ages ago (okay a bit exaggerated), and fell in love with how adorbs and totes wearable it be! I just had to take a stab at it! 

Thanks to my Pops and Step-Mom's birthday gift (Michael's gift card), I snagged these cute buttons from Michael's! Without further ado, the easy peasy materials needed and few steps to get this puppy hangin' from your neck!

I love how you can pick and choose different buttons to put together for whatever kind of statement you feel like making! What do you think? Will you give this a shot?

Uplifting Pins

I N S P I R A T I O N... something we can all utilize each and every day, and from multiple sources! While trying to head this blog in a different direction during my second year of blogging, I've made it a point to try and blog about a topic that is inspiring... that can reach out to those who need it, including myself! From this post I wrote a few months ago, you all know I love to dig for inspiration through Pinterest!

I'm linking up with Michelle at The Vintage Apple for an OHP, and sharing more words of wisdom, a continued edition from the last round!

Fashion Week Faves

Man oh man Fashion Week has been a blast to watch! The fall colors are so deep and rich and just lovely! There were a few playful lines that seem to me like they can cross over from Spring to Fall. Here are some of my faves of the week!

It's been way too long since I linked up with Michelle at The Vintage Apple for OHP! Oh how I missed it so!

Outfit LOVE

Feelin' the love this month thus far, and my outfit says so! Since my bad lighting snaps I took indoors last week, I managed to make it outdoors for my hubs to snap a few pics of me (thank goodness it was dry for at least a day!).

Hubs was able to capture the key pieces I told him are my "outfit highlights" (bless his soul for listening!)

Have you been bitten by this February LOVE bug?!

Light my Heart Up!

Happy Monday!! For those of you who called into work today because Superbowl Sunday was just TOO much fun, a super duper happy Monday to you! As you know, February is a FAVE of mine, and I've been all about the red/pink/heart-sy DIY's! I'm kicking it off with my Heart-Jar Candle!

If you want to finish it off extra cutsie, you can add a bow to the brim of the mason jar! And VOILA!

I tried lighting a votive and tealight in the heart-jar, and I think the tealight is best suitable because you can see the entire design of the heart more clearly. You can make a ton of these, and light your house with tons of love!

My LLL's of the week!

LOVE

I LOVE MY FAMILY!! In case you haven't caught onto that by now, I seriously honestly love each and every 32498237498 of them!! This week I talked to so many family members that there wasn't room to feel discouraged or alone!

LEARN

I learned (again) that it's okay to feel sad or discouraged. Just don't let it dictate each and every day you wake up! Dust your knees off and keep it pushin... it's all about your ATTITUDE!

LAUGH

I had some great chukkles with my gal pals when we went to a birthday lunch last week. We gabbed and laughed our pasta and salad away!
