I am suffering from PVS: Post Vacation Syndrome (he he! I made that up) so I needed a little Monday Motivation to get me back in the swing of things.

Like I said in my previous post, Christmas is my favorite time of year. Mostly because of the looks on my kids faces (when they were younger) when they would come downstairs and see all the stuff that "Santa" left them the night before. Now they are older, but I still love shopping for them. I also love receiving gifts! My favorite gifts to get are pajamas!!! I love comfy pj's! Here is my Christmas Wishlist!

What's on your holiday wishlist?

Christmas Gifts For Him
christmas,
cologne,
dewalt,
game systems,
gold by jay z,
jayz,
lebron,
nike,
ps4,
sneakers,
tools,
xbox
It's that time of year again: Christmastime!!!!! Although I love the holidays, I am not a big shopper. I love stuff, but I don't like going out to get it..... I know that sounds a little strange, but hey, that's me. This post isn't about things that I want. It's about helping you shop for your special guy.

{1} The New XBox One. If your guy is a gamer and already has the 360, this is just the natural progression. You get this for him and he will be putty in your hands... (for at least 3 weeks. Then your on your own)
{2} The New PS4. The same rules apply as above. I'm more partial to the Xbox...
{3} Nike LeBron 11 Miami Nights. I'm a sneaker head so my first instinct is to buy my dude some kicks. I'ts a good thing he's in to sneakers also!
{4} DeWalt Tool Set. I think every man should have a good tool set. They will never have an excuse not to fix things around the house! LOL!
{5} Gold by Jay-Z. My guy is really into "smell goods". This will definitely be one that will be added to his collection!
I hope my list helps a little. If you have some suggestions, please feel free to share! I'm always looking for new ideas!

Manicure Monday {Zig Zags}
Hey Everybody,
I'm back with another Manicure Monday post! I know it's been a while, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. For this manicure my daughter used two different greens and some zig zag nail tattoos. Quick and easy, but still fun. Take a look!

The dark green is Exotic Green by Sinful Colors and the green under the tattoos is Tudor City Teal by NYC Colors. What colors are you wearing for Manicure Monday?

Sunday Funday (The Flea Market Edition)
Yesterday I took a trip Eastern Market with my daughter to see what treasures we could find. As we were walking around, we saw so many nice things. I was looking so hard, I forgot to take pictures until right before we were getting ready to head out. Here are a few.

Once Upon A Time~ A Wedding Story
Have you ever felt like you are in a stand still in life because you are either
1: Not fulfilling your purpose in life,
2: Scared of the what-ifs,
3: Running from what is supposed to be, or
4: some other reason or all of the above.
A little background so you can follow where I'm going with this:
In another life I used to be a Wedding/Event Planner, and I was/am pretty damn good at it too. I loved everything about planning weddings, bridal showers, parties, etc. until that one fateful day that I decided to take a last minute wedding that in my heart of hearts I should not have because everything that could go wrong did go wrong from the very beginning.Without going into to much detail, I was doing a favor for a family member of a friend but said family member bamboozled and hoodwinked me through the entire 3 week (yes, 3 weeks!) process of planning said shotgun wedding. Then tried to blame all of her errors and lack of planning an honesty one me!
After said wedding, I took a very long hiatus from all things wedding planning (even my own). I second guessed all of my abilities (when it came to event planning) that I trained for, I am certified in, and I had a passion for. I let the dozens of perfect events that I planned be out shadowed by the ONE bad event. Everyone that was there to help me, even guest at the wedding told me that it wasn't my fault and that it would've been worse if I wasn't there, but I didn't believe any of it. It took me a long time to come to grips with it wasn't my fault.
With that said, in the time since then I have tried a few different things that just wasn't for me or my heart was never fully in it. Will I go back to wedding planning: probably, but in the mean time, I am working on some super, dope wedding related things (as well as some other stuff) that I am super excited about. Stay tuned!!!!
Until tomorrow,

Blog Challenge x H&M Online Shopping
Hey Everybody!
I know I have been very neglectful in my blogging duties, but I am going to make it up. Pinky swear!
I have decided to take part in Awesomely Luvvie’s blog challenge.
Did you see this:
H&M now has online shopping!!!!! After 2+ years of them saying “Coming Soon”, it’s finally here! As much as I like going into the stores, their Plus Size section (at the one near me) is severely lacking or non-existent. I am pleased with the few pieces I saw online (and ordered). Oh, and they have a home section online!!!!!!!
I can not explain how excited this makes me!!!! Everything is so cute, modern and right up my alley! When you get a chance, please check it out!
Until tomorrow,

Influenster Spring Fling Vox Box
Hey Everybody!
It has been so long since my last post I feel like I have forgotten how to.... (but that's a post for another day)
Today, I am posting about some cool products I received from Influenster. I love receiving the Vox Box from them. You never know what's going to be in there.
Included in the box was:

Today, I am posting about some cool products I received from Influenster. I love receiving the Vox Box from them. You never know what's going to be in there.
I'm not a big fan of gel deodorant, but this stuff is AMAZING! It smells so good! It glides on really well and the staying power is the bomb! I think this is my new favorite! The only downside: I think my knob was broken. It was very hard to get it to work.
First the good: The design is super pretty. The staying power was almost 8 days.
The bad: These things are for baby hands! If you have adult sized nails, these are NOT for you! I put them on my daughter because she has little finger nails. Broadway nails: please make them in bigger nail sizes.
I'm not a big fan of face powder, but this feels really good on the skin. It has the consistency of coffee creamer, then it blends extremely well and even. Great product!
I'm in love! This Lip Balm feels good! It has a slight pink tint on the lips and glides on so nice. It conditions and my lips felt so moisturized! Another hit for NYC!
I'm not a big fan of S'mores, so I gave it to my daughter and she LOVES it! She asked did I have any more.
All in all, I was really pleased with this box. Keep them coming Influenster!
***Disclaimer: I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.***
Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition Presented by Pureology
This post is about Green School makeover competition presented by Pureology.
Here is a little info a bout the competition:
When a school goes green, children benefit—as well as the environment! Green schools lead to:
Improved student performance. When children learn in classrooms with natural daylight, improved sound quality and non-toxic building materials such as non-VOC carpets and paints, test scores can improve as much as 20%. Attendance also improves!
More funds for student resources. When green upgrades are made to a school, water and energy costs can be reduced by as much as 40%. These savings can be channeled back into resources that directly benefit students, such as textbooks, computers and other essentials.
Reduced carbon footprint. Greening a school significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming.
I entered my son’s school into the competition because I truly believe in going green and doing my part to save the Earth. Just like we only have one life, we only have one Earth and we have to take care of it or it will not take care of us. These are values we have to start teaching our kids at an early age.
Open For Business!
This has been a long time coming. I finally opened my online store! I launched it last night/this morning after almost backing out and giving up. I have put this off for years! I let my fear of failure take over and kept putting it off, but my love for my kids made do it. I want them to know that they can do whatever they set their minds to.
The name of the store is: The Lingerie Lounge.
Yes, I'm selling lingerie!
No, it's not a direct sell company.
The pieces I sell are carefully chosen by me. It's not just lingerie. I have leggings and jewelry also. I will move into other clothing areas soon, but for right now, the passion for me is in the lingerie. I feel that when I put on pretty/sexy lingerie, I feel a little more pretty/sexy, and I want other women to feel the exact same way. No matter the size. Some of the pieces go up to a 4XL! Take a look:
If you have any questions about any of the pieces, feel free to drop me an email at: lingerielady2@gmail.com
Thank you for stopping by! Don't forget to follow the blog and like the fan page! I have a giveaway coming up real soon!

MANICure Monday
This week I decided to step out of my box and use colors I NEVER use as main nail colors. Yellow and White! I'm kind of digging it. Here are the products I used:
Left to right: Sally Hansen top coat, Revlon Liquid Quick Dry
The Revlon Liquid Quick Dry is the BEST quick dry product EVER! I love it! My nails dry rock solid in less than 5 minutes!
Here are some pics of my manicure... (before the clean up) Check out my blue leopard print pajama pants! LOL!
