Only three more days and we're moving to the other place. I really like where we live right now, but with the baby on the way we just need a bigger place. So, we have been packing for the last couple of weeks and are almost done with it. Of course I was not allowed to move anything heavy, so my husband has been taking care of most of the things. Anyways, the new place where we're moving is nice as well and it's just a few blocks from my office, so it will be very convenient. It also has a back yard where Pancho will be able to play and hopefully stop barking at other dogs. Speaking of yard I got some seeds from Bolivian hot peppers and decided to put them in a wet paper towel to see if they would germinate and they actually did!!! I'm so excited, so once we move to the other house I will plant them in our yard. Here is a picture of a few of the seeds. I really hope the survive the weather here.
Ok, but now to some Handmade Goodies. With the move I decided to check out on Etsy if there was anything interesting related to moving and here is what I found.
I'm so happy it's Friday!!! This week has been very exhausting. Lot of work at the office and then all the excitement of seeing for the first time my baby in the ultrasound, plus all the discomfort that comes with the pregnancy....I just need my Weekend! But before I close my computer for the day, or at least for a few hours here are some great findings for the Winter season.
The new year has started and with it a long list with the resolutions. I normally don't make those lists but normally have a few things in mind. For this year I'm expecting a few changes that hopefully I can accomplish.
1. I definitely need to be more organized. What started as a hobby now converted into a part-time job and I need to define my work space. You can see beads and findings in various rooms of the house and I just need to put them all together into one space, by categories, colors, etc. This will take me a while but it's absolutely necessary.
2. I need to start doing some exercise. I know it's probably one of the most common resolutions for the new year, but I have been very lazy regarding exercising during the last year. So at least walk 3 times a week or use the Active on Wii, which by the way is a great exercise.
3. Time Management. That's something I need to improve urgently. Most of the time I feel like 24 hours a day is just not enough. Between my day job, jewelry making, marketing, family, etc. I just never finish! So many things to do and so little time. So I need to find the way to organize my time better.
Ok, I think that's already a lot of work for me and let's hope I really can make it :)
How was Christmas for Everyone? We stayed at home and had a cozy Christmas Eve, just the three of us and it seems like New Years Eve will be just similar. But for those who like to party, here are a few finds...
Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas! I hope you can share this day with your families and beloved ones. Here are a few pictures where I'm with my husband at Union Square in San Francisco during Christmas time.
Ok, so far we've covered home decor, your outfit and now let's jump to the Makeup. I like everything sparkly and that includes the makeup. Very colorful and very focused on the eyes. Take a look at these options:
I like them all, but not sure if I could use the Rhinestones over my eyes. I absolutely love the Blue glitter eye shadow with the smoky look. So much mystery and very sexy! Don't mix too much eye makeup with glittery lips, make sure to use a very light lip gloss with strong eye makeup colors.
Absolutely too much for me but I love that blue eyeshadow! I can totally see me wearing those colors but not so excessive. It has a great mix with purple and black, very soft lip gloss.
I know, I know....another one that is too much, but I still like the colors. You don't have to use them all together or that strong, but they're beautiful colors!
What do you think about these sparkly lips? That red lip gloss is just very sexy and attracting. I just wonder how annoying the rhinestones could be. Still, it looks gorgeous!
