Summer time and the livings easy

I have no clue why I am excited about summer this year..

I have never been a fan of the 100+ degrees it gets over here, or the sweltering humidity.

For some reason though, I have hopeful wishes for a sunburn free, ice tea drinking, porch swinging, swimming pool dipping, wonderful summer!!

Here is to a wonderful summer!!!

The joy of books

I discovered this video via 'Her Library Adventures'

My husband/brother/mother/and grandfather have tried to convince me to switch from hard back books to a kindle...

I tell them to same thing every time..kindle does not have the smell of a book, the adventures this book had been through, the creased pages, the coffee stains, the hard cover that is peeling from age..ect..

This video describes exactly why I do not have a kindle, why I prefer to go out and buy a real book..

Jumping on the band wagon..

I must admit..I NEVER follow fashion designers.

Im just not that interested in today's 'fashion'.

I am a lot more interested in vintage fashion (era 1930s-1970).

So I could not be happier to show off (in my opinion) one of the greatest fashion designers..Which I am pretty sure EVERYONE has heard about this woman..

Ulyana Sergeenko

She is bringing sexy back..haha I am in love with the Bridgette bardot inspired clothing and hair..

Everything is just so feminine..

Pin Up Love

Ladies of the blog world..through years of trial and error, research, and observation (I was majoring in Psychology before getting married..I love to study people) I have discovered a secret about men..

Men treat women entirely different ( and with a hell of a lot more respect) if she puts forth effort to actually look good, and dress like a 'lady'..(you think it would be common sense, but apparently not to most girls/women)
here are some examples of real ladies:

If you have not noticed, all the ladies have simple makeup; eyeliner, mascara, foundation, and red lips..

I have been doing my makeup (like the examples above) for 2 months now, and every man I have come across has complimented it.

This new makeup routine of mine only takes 4 minutes in the morning..and I usually put sponge rollers in my hair at night and wake up with beautiful curls..

It really is so easy for women to look beautiful, you just have to put in some effort..

I honestly believe there is NO reason for a women to look frumpy, when you can take 5 minutes of your morning to put on foundation, eyeliner, mascara, and red lipstick and look like a bombshell.
