Little Slice of Heaven.......whole lotta sugar.

The thing about blogs, and social media, is, for the most part people always portrait the "best of life". ie.... I posted that picture because I look skinny and my boobs look killer! or, YOU'D BETTER UNTAG ME IN THAT ASAP OR SO HELP ME GOD!! The flip side of that are the people that air out all their dirty laundry like the internet is their private diary. If you're one of those people please, please, please stop! I have a few friends that are going through some custody issues, and honestly if you show up to the court with pages of profile wall drama they should slap you. Same with break ups, don't throw slander pies all over the place. It didn't work, he's a jerk, you're being dumb, it's OK! Everyone has broken up with someone at some point in their lives. And guess what?!? They survived!! Round of applause to all you folks with former break ups - Check you out, living and stuff!!

I guess the reason I'm ranting about this is because I'm straight up sick of people. I need to crawl into bed, eat ice cream for days, and not come out until I feel better. Don't get me wrong there are still people out there that I love and cherish. But there are also people out there that I could totally do without. I adore my family. I honestly don't think I would be the person I am today without them. Pretty sure if I didn't have such an awesome family (this goes for Justin's fam too) I would be a little grumpy troll that stayed in the basement and excelled at arcade basketball.

Maybe I'm just tired. Or hungry, I can sometimes get cranky when I'm hungry. We call it Hangry. Or maybe I'm disappointed? That might be it. I worked my butt off to clean the house, make a ton of sweet treats and invite everyone I know to my FIRST EVER origami owl party. And do you know who showed up? My mom, Justin's mom, and Karin. Thanks ladies, you're all awesome. Some people had really good reasons that they couldn't come but so many people backed out at the last minute. How many parties have I come to just to support you? How many letters, notes, etc have I sent your way just to let you know I appreciate and care about you? How many times have I done something above and beyond just to make you feel better? That's what I thought. TONS!

I know there is going to be someone out there that says "well you shouldn't do nice things for people to get something out of it. You should do it just because you want to". Well you know what, I do. It's ingrained in me be a thoughtful, kind, loving person. That's how I was raised. Maybe your mom didn't write little notes in your lunch every day, maybe she didn't send you a card just to say she was proud of you but you could still care.

I'm not saying that when I do something nice I want something done in return. I'm just saying the world might be a nicer place if we were all a bit more thoughtful. If you have an extra $30 bucks right now send your mom, or your sister, or your best friend some flowers. Or send someone that you haven't talked to in awhile a text just because you're thinking of them. Take a co-worker coffee because they've been working their butt off lately. It'll cost you $5 to do something nice and they'll think about it for the rest of the week.

I am very rarely a selfish person but I am still more selfish than I'd like to be. Give yourself today.

We all need a pep talk. Then get on the same team you turds.

Owl Always Love You

I'm not sure when my obsession with owls began but I know it's not a recent thing.

That being said I'm so excited to announce that I am now a designer for Origami Owl!!

Yayyyyy!!

What in the world is Origami Owl you ask?? They are 'living lockets' - just like your pandora bracelet - you design them yourself. The company's slogan is "every locket tells a story, what does yours say?".

I love the look of them. I can't wait to get my new designer kit so I can build my first one. I've never been to a party because the only person I know that does them is down in Flint. I was really nervous about getting into something that I had to sell. I am not a sales person. The positive response I got from my family and friends was amazing and now I can't wait to get started. :)

Bella, the founder, started this company with a kiosk in a mall so she could earn money to buy her first car. Talk about brilliant!
The mission statement:

OUR MISSION IS TO BE A FORCE FOR GOOD; TO LOVE, INSPIRE

+ MOTIVATE WOMEN OF ALL AGES TO REACH THEIR DREAMS+ 

EMPOWER THEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

And anyone that knows me knows that anything that says "dream" is right up my alley. (I'll buy almost anything if it says Dream. There, now you know my dirty secret."

I mean really?!? How cute is this? 

This is how it works. Easy! And awesome! and totally you! 

I know it's a little picture but what an awesome idea for....say.... a wedding party? I already know I'll be wearing one on my wedding day. xoxo

I love my Pandora bracelet. My girlfriends got it for me for my birthday & Justin and the fam have added to it. Now it's full, (and heavy) and I only wear it when I'm getting fancied up. This is a nice alternative to that. (and you can build a whole necklace for the price of 2 beads!)

So that's the newest update for me. I'm working on a blog regarding the wedding planning but it's a lot of work!! LOL.
