Friday Mish Mash

Today’s Show Us Your Life houses is back patios…..er….ours is not much to look at right now, but I’m hoping someday we can spruce this baby up.  Right now we just have firewood, the mower, grill, and looky!  A trampoline!  Ha ha!

Any ideas on what you would do out here?  I haven’t a clue…..
I know a lot of you are great decorators.  I think even a bistro set like this one would be awesome.  My favorite are those bouncy chairs….whatever table and chair set we do get someday.  It must have the bouncy chairs.
Our front yard is white and purple because we are TCU fans!

I’m also linking up today with Fabulous But Evil’s Nail Files
I’m wearing a light coat of NYC gray in “Sidewalkers”

In other news…
This is Connor and Ellie sharing an ice cream cone yesterday.
They love each other so much and share EVERYTHING 🙂 
Including ice cream licks!

We won a 2 night stay at the Gaylord Texan for Shrek Feast!  I am SOOOOO excited!  Connor is going to be beside himself.  I’ll take lots of pics and if you’re coming for Blissdom next spring then I will take some pics of the hotel so you can see where you’ll be staying.

 Happy Weekend Everyone!!!
 AND- Last but not least…..

Dear Santa please bring me a Sprinkles cupcakes ATM.  I really REALLY want one. You can have one too at $4 a cupcake!  Geesh! 

Don’t Believe What you See

These are all the same model and she’s photographed at different angles and lighting to depict aging.  Makeup and Photoshop I’m sure has a lot to do with it as well.  Isn’t this crazy….just goes to show you gals….never believe what you see in magazines.  Everyone is Photoshopped these days!

Monday Mish Mash

Well, the Olympics are over.  I sure did enjoy the closing ceremony….the Olympics are great and I’m sad they are over.  There were several memorable moments.  Check out McKayla’s Not Impressed if you want a good laugh.  I’m ready to watch MasterChef….I’ve been waiting patiently to see who wins!

Donna is coming back to SUITS! Yay!  The show is not the same without her.  I guess all that #savedonna tweeting was totally worth it 😉
What the heck did Miley do to her hair???

I am really wondering what is going on with this girl?  Is she pulling a Britney right now or going through some kind of mental crisis?  Why Miley…WHY?

OUR WEEKEND:
We went to Paxton’s 5th birthday party
Didn’t his Mom do such a good job on his bat cave?

Connor spent the night with his Grana & Pop. He has such a good time with them. Terence and I were able to go out on a date to see Batman and we ate at the Outback. A little anniversary celebration-better late than never!!!! Thank you Grana & Pop!

Every time I look at him he seems a little more grown up….time’s going too fast!
Oh and we had a little bit of this goodness as well 🙂
T’was a fab weekend indeed…..and now back to the daily grind!

All For Color

It all started a few weeks ago when I got a cute chevron cosmetic bag at a local boutique.  Then I looked online to see where they sold this brand because I loved the pattern so much.  I found the site All For Color and ever since then I’ve been hooked!  Everything is very reasonably priced too!

I love the bright bold patterns so much!

Tablescapes

TABLE DAY!
I love to decorate tablescapes it’s one of my favorite things to do at a party and at home.
This is one I did for a baby shower earlier this year
This one area of my counter I always change up with the seasons:

This tablescape is from Connor’s birthday.  I loved it.  I think I’m going to get one of these GIANT balloons every year now 🙂

This is one of my favorites from a Christmas luncheon.  It’s an ornament tree and we used it as a centerpiece. 

In other Friday happenings….
Here is Connor playing in his Dad’s old super hero cape from when he was a little boy!
May your weekends be filled with lots of chocolate and coffee dreams 🙂

Wrinkles Be Gone!

My sweet friend Emily emailed me a couple weeks ago and asked if I would like to try a sample of a product called NeriumAD.  I’ve started to get wrinkly now that I’m in my 30’s and I thought I would give it a try.  While my Mom was visiting we were talking about aging and how much she hates her neck aka her “gobbler”!  I wish I would have known about this product then before we went to Sephora and she spent $80 on something that isn’t really working out for her….

Anyway…..I will show her this NOW.

Here are my before and after pictures after using NeriumAD for just 5 days:

BEFORE
 AFTER

The difference in my skin is subtle, but I can tell a difference.  Especially around the eye area.  These photos are un-touched with no makeup on……GULP.  And very hard for me to post up here on the blog!
NeriumAD is a breakthrough age-defying night cream. Unlike other anti-aging creams and solutions sold at Nordstrom, Macy’s, Dillard’s, etc. – Nerium guarantees an improvement. Yes, I said it – guarantees, in fact, the company has a 30-Day Money Back return policy.
Nerium was founded by the Head of Research at MD Anderson while trying to develop a drug to help his cancer patients get rid of scarring & discoloration.
The product is capable of improving skin in a number of ways:

-Reduces the appearances of fine lines & wrinkles

-Improves uneven skin-tone and hyper-pigmentation

-Shrinks pores

The photo below is of a woman who used NeriumAD for 5 months:

And here is a photo of a woman who used it for SIX nights:

The results speak for themselves, really.
This product is changing lives and best of all: TURNING BACK TIME!

An Update From Bonnie {Twinkie Love}

I wanted to write a little update about what Jarrett and I have been up to.  We moved back home to Arkansas from Las Vegas last fall.  As most of you know I am going through a divorce.  It’s been a rough emotional roller coaster over the past year.  I’m much happier now and things are starting to finally look up.

Some of you know what happened, and some don’t but if you want to get in touch my email is bonniembrown@gmail.com.  All I can say is I did what was best for Jarrett and myself. 

I couldn’t have done any of this without the help of so many family and friends and am so thankful for all their love and support.  It’s hard being a single mom, but some how we make it through each day.
I got a new job at The Pointe at the Divide off of Chenal in Little Rock.  If you are looking for an apartment come see me!  I also got promoted to Assistant Manager recently and I really love my new job.

I started the Brazilian Butt Lift videos and have lost some weight.  Those videos are awesome!

I’m dating a great guy – a DOCTOR 😉 Mom always said she wanted me to end up with a doctor, HA HA. Set up by a mutual friend. Things are going VERY well & he met mom, dad & Jarrett last weekend. One can only hope…
Jarrett is doing great! He loves cats, playing in the water, going to the park with his Poppy & playing with his Nana’s IPad. We are working on our colors right now.
Been through a lot. Things are getting better… thank you for all the prayers.  Much love, Bonnie
Maybe eventually I’ll start blogging again……
