Hey Guys,

It’s been a while. I took quite a bit longer off from blogging than I planned. But it’s the new year, and I’m back and am going to be going to be blogging and video blogging at least a couple times a week! So, be sure you are subscribed to my blog, youtube channel and  Facebook Page so you don’t miss anything! :)

Today I made a video on the topic of “perfection.” The obsession with being perfect. Since it is a new year, and everyone’s making resolutions and goals I wanted to have some input on this topic. Hope you enjoy the video! I can’t wait to share more with you guys this year.

Ecclesiastes 7:20- There is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins

1 Samuel 16:7 – …….the lord sees not as man sees; man looks at the outward appearance but the lord looks at the heart.

Love, Lauren

Speaking of Jewelry, my husband got me this bracelet I had been eyeing and surprised me with it along with earrings and flowers and a really nice hand written note on our 1 year anniversary. (I absolutely love elephants..I think they are so fascinating and when I was younger I used to collect everything and anything with elephants on them).

 

 

 

 

  

  

  

  

  

 

 

 

 

Is there such thing as a recipe book???  Not BOX but BOOK that you can fill in yourself with recipe’s ???  There must be something like that, but for some reason I have been unable to find one. I wanted a book that I could fill with recipies that I get from friends, internet etc..

So, I got creative and made one! I bought a notebook I liked, stickers and tabs for the sides! I think it’s cute… I love anything colorful!

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Next post will be about an amazing new soap brand I discovered and an awesome giveaway! :)

Hey Guys!

I can’t believe we are about to celebrate another new year. Tomorrow (New Year‘s Eve) will mark the date of my wedding, 1 year ago…and will be Royce and my first year anniversary. This past year flew by, and I feel like so much has happened. We moved to Vancouver and back, got our own apartment, started new jobs, I graduated college and Royce began his masters program.

In the spirit of making New Years Resolutions, how about making a resolution that you can keep for once?!

  • LIVE
  • LAUGH and
  • LEARN

    Philosophy's Resolution Trio

     

Philosophy, the bath and beauty brand will be launching their “new years resolution trio”. This consists of 3, 16 fl oz. shower gel/shampoo/bubble bath bottles.

Here is QVC’s Whole You Weekend Showcase where you can find more information on all the products they will be featuring: http://bit.ly/72bp8C.

The Philosophy Shower Gel/Shampoo/Bubble bath Trio’s make a great gift and these 3 in honor of New Years reminded me that you don’t need elaborate resolutions. Make the resolution to Live, Laugh and Learn.

  • Live (Fig)every day to it’s fullest.  Wake early to watch the sunrise.  Sing out loud and long…
  • Laughter (Pomegranite) is the best medicine.  Laugh until you cry.  Let your smile light your eyes and curve your lips…
  • Learning(Cranberry) is growing.  Learn to say hello in another language.  Pick up a new hobby…

These 16 oz bottles last quite a while and come in the most delicious scents. I love these 3 Cranberry, Fig and pomegranate, because they’re not as sugary sweet as some. They smell very refreshing and delicious. They are great winter scents to keep you clean and smelling great in the months to come!
