Insta-life (and one other announcement)

{Left to right} My new job. Check it out here if you live near me. So darn yummy. // The newest hoop creation made for this pretty momma. You can get yours here. // My #julyloveclub package arrived and I'm pretty happy about it. Want the hookup? // I once again did the #noheatcurl and it turned out fabulous. Seriously if you haven't tried it you should probably get on that. Instructions here. // Just soaking in my one day a week with this guy. We used to see each other daily but alas my nanny life had to end at some point. // Oh, my man just surprises me during my Saturday morning class with yummy things like crepes. What? // Just the MOST DELICIOUS ice cream ever. Flavors such as Lemon Basil Sorbet and Honey Lavender. Holy yum. Go there. // Uhm, just utterly obsessed with these four Little Liars. May have watched the first two seasons in like a week and now having withdrawals. You know you need to watch on Netflix. // Rocking my JustLovelyThings from my #loveclub box. Oh and some bokeh thanks to PicFx. Love love love that app and my sweet friend Heather for the hair bling!

Are you following me on Instagram? You should. Find me: @beautifulblendings


Also I must note that I waited a very long time for the winner of this giveaway to contact me and haven't heard a peep. That makes me sad. Cause I've totally been there and missed out on winning before too. But the point of a giveaway is that you are an avid reader and therefore winning a goodie for being a friend. But if you missed my numerous shoutouts here and on Facebook and the Twitter... then alas I must give the reward to another.

So.... I will be picking another winner for the SHOES. Whaaat? You thought your chances were up but no! Hopefully this winner will contact me and I won't have to choose AGAIN. Cause it really does hurt my heart.

And the winner is..... THIS CHICA! Please, for the love of all things shoe.... EMAIL me. I want to give you those beautiful Rulla's.

Xo my lovely readers.

7 days in Instagram

So between the holidays, working two jobs, etsy, blogging, OH and that GroopDealz order of 216 bracelets.....I've been a bit crazy lately. My extreme apologies! BUT.... I did take quite a few pictures via the lovely Instagram. So here's what's been going on....

Rocking cute new clothes at my nanny job

Eating delicious food at the pub {my OTHER job}

 

Enjoying all things Christmas for our very first one living together

We had our first stockings {also first time as Santa}, lego building Christmas morning, berry pie and roast beef in the crock.

And for me.... trying to fill 216 bracelets orders from my GroopDealz offer in just two weeks. 

Also...thinking to myself...WHY did I make them FIVE rosette bracelets? Oy. 

But I do feel SO INCREDIBLY blessed to have sold so many and my packaging reminds me that I'm doing what I love. 

Now if only I could get rid of those other jobs. ;) 

Happy Wednesday.

Whew!

I am moved in. I FINALLY have the internet BACK! And I have a wedding this weekend to attend, going out of town next weekend and I'm totally BUSY with work these next few weeks. So NO pictures yet of the new place. It's too much of a mess for me to want to share it with you! But onward to better things.

I have been a Blackberry girl for the last two years. And let me tell you, I LOVE that blackberry. So organized and simple. Oh and tiny. Pocket size----so important to a chica. Especially this one who is busy chasing kiddos around all day.

But the time had come (and the upgrade was calling my name) for a switch. I have been really anti-touch screen because everytime I would try one it made me NUTS. But I've also been REAL jelly over all you guys and your SUPER CUTE Instagram pictures all over my twitter every.single.day. Did I mention that I've been jealous? So this week I caved. I made the hard fun decision to buy an iPhone. And the day it arrived I was waiting at the door (because of course when the Fedex truck pulls up to your place you instantaneously run to the front door and wait like an eager puppy). And it was beautiful in it's simple sleek box.

And what did I download FIRST? Before Facebook, Twitter or any crazy cool games, fashion advice, weather bug, etc.Well of course INSTAGRAM. And I am in LA LA LOVE with it. I take pictures of anything and everything folks. Sorry if you're following me. I'll get over it in the next year or so.

So today I want to share a day in the life of my iPhone instagram. Which I present to you in these glorious photos of course.

{ONE} My dresses arrived from Modcloth and I was so excited to finally try them on. You may remember them from this post. Thanks for all of your feedback and I'll be sure to post the winner after the wedding this weekend!
{TWO} The little lovelies that I work with everyday. They love being sweet.
{THREE} Delicious dinner with my man on the first warm-ish day at the PDX foodcarts. Seriously amazing stuff.
{FOUR} My latest giveaway win that I just adore! Won it from this amazing blog! They promote your shop and even host giveaways. Check them out for reals.
{FIVE}My NEW TOMS! I am so stinking excited about these. The lovely Kim from Yellow Songbird who so SWEETLY bought them for me and sent them as they were sold out online and she found them in her town! Isn't that the nicest? We met over twitter btw. Her blog is pretty great too and she just launched her first line of ADORABLE dresses and makes the cutest coffee cozies. Seriously check her out!
{SIX} Our friends Dan and Mirja are visiting from Germany and they are just the CUTEST. Stealing kisses all the time and they just make me swoon! I wish they could stay here forever!
{SEVEN} Uhhh it was the 4th of July. And we may have had some illegal WHAT?!, I mean regular AWESOME fireworks. First time ever that I could feel firework particles raining down on me. Sort of scary and amazing all at once.
{EIGHT} My man and I being awesome and watching fireworks. I cherish these moments where everything is just....ahhhh.
{NINE} Uh... IKEA duh. Because apparently if you pack your stuff, move it around in the boxes like 5 times in 2 years and then unpack it again finally.... you end up without essential items. Like, eating utensils AND knives. Not sure about that. But for $40 I got everything I needed plus WAY more.


That was my week. I also WORKED alot. And last night got an airbrush spray tan so that I'll look A-mazing in my cute dress for the wedding. But let me tell you....blog post coming about THAT one. Tee-hee.
