Tuesday Treasures!

Happy New Year Everybody!

I know I am a day or two late but, what the hey! It's a new year!  
--That means new beginnings and New Years Resolutions!

Here are a few of mine:


  1. Get my office (which is a poor mess) nice and tidy
  2. Keep up with my blog a little bit better (I'm starting out strong don't ya think?)
  3. Read the whole bible this year (Joe and I have received our One Year Bible so that should help)
  4. And of course, Be a better wife!
But enough about me! Let's get on to what this post is really about. When I started this blog, I wanted it to be about fashion and beauty and all of those things that us girls really love. -But it seems to have turned into me just talking about myself the whole time (shocker I know).

Anyways, that's why I came up with this:

TUESDAY TREASURES
Cute name right? 

Tuesday Treasures will consist of several categories in which I talk about things that I like. And as the name gives it away, I will post a new one ever other Tuesday! (It's a bit much to put on my crazy schedule to do one every week. But I will still post in between so don't be discouraged! 

All right let's get to it! OMGoodness I am so excited! 

  1. Trending - In this category I will highlight a current trend that I happen to enjoy and a current trend that I simply do not understand. This should be fun!
Well the trend that I am loving right now is actually just a color but it is showing up EVERYWHERE! I didn't like it at first but I have to admit that it has grown on me. This trend is Mustard Yellow! I know, it sounds like a terrible color! But check it out:

Adorable right? I know! The only thing that I can advise you though is to avoid wearing too much of it otherwise you will actually look like a mustard bottle. And maybe avoid pairing it with red or you will end up looking like this guy

A trend that I just do not get is wearing rain boots when it is not raining outside! Seriously! Giant rubber boots are not cute! No matter what color, pattern, brand, or price tag they have! 
Don't get me wrong, I have rain boots and I like them very much. But I save them for a rainy day ;) 
Let's get this straight:
Cute
(Notice the Rain)

Not Cute
Even if they do match your hair... 

2. Get it For Less - In this category I will show you 3 similar items of clothing with 3 very different price tags. Mostly just to show you that in order to dress fashionably, you don't need to spend a lot of money. 
Ok, here we go. See if you can guess which item has the highest price tag.
                            1                                         2                                          3

You can find Pants #1 Here for $1,090
Pants #2 are Here for a whopping $24
And Pants #3 Here Come in at $240
Did ya guess right?
It's OK if you didn't, they all look the same. (That's the point!)

4. Featured Blog - This category is fun because I will feature another blogger that I think you readers will be interested in. I feel like I am in an online community and I should be a good neighbor.
Today's blog is written by a group of girls


 I truly admire their message. Click Here to go see what they have to say!


5. Yummies - This category speaks for itself! I will post something that is totally delicious!

Homemade Chicken Pot Pie is a favorite of my husband's, and the best part is, it is super easy (and cheap) to make!
Here is the Recipe!

6. Shop Update - Here I will post a new item in my shop!

Here is the latest

Super Cute right!?
Here is the link!

So, There you have it! Tuesday Treasures! 
I'm so excited and I hope you are too! I will most likely add a few categories as I think of them. That's the beauty of having a blog! 

Well, have a good night ladies and gentlemen!
Cheers!

My Beauty Routine

Hello Loves! I've had some questions about my beauty routine and I decided that although I don't have any secret magic make you beautiful potion, I can share what I do have :) I have recently decided that I really really want to be healthy, inside and out. So I've started (trying) to eat healthy(er) and exercising. But I think that should also include beauty products that don't have a lot of preservatives and chemicals. Think about it, you use this stuff EVERY DAY! All of those bad things like parabens and alcohol sink into your skin and scalp and do damage slowly but surely. So I decided to go natural. Now, I know what you're thinking, that going all natural is totally unreasonable and EXPENSIVE but I have searched high and low and I think I have found some very nice and reasonably priced (rhyming is fun) products that I have been using and I can confidently stand by.  Let's start with the hair shall we?   Now, I am no stranger to hair colori...

Pre-Movie Blogpost

Hello friends :) It is Wednesday and tomorrow my husband takes his citizenship test as he is from England originally. He is a bit ridiculous in that he is only now picking up the 100 question study guide for the test. He will probably still get a 100 on the test simply because he is a genius. So frustrating for us regular folks who actually have to work hard just to seem smart.  I spent my day just hanging around the house cleaning things and working on my new online shop  Here is a link to the etsy and facebook page:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/AgainstTheWindDesign http://www.facebook.com/pages/Against-The-Wind/223030597739114 It seems so official! I have been planning on opening a shop of my own for a while now and it's actually about to happen! I am so excited! I will be selling all handmade jewelry to start out with and I will branch out eventually to hair accessories, scarfs, and at some point I'll start my own line of clothing :) We will see how it goes....

The Waitressing Side of Life

Hello good readers! I have missed you all dearly :) Today I want to talk about something that I feel should be common knowledge but for some reason people don't seem to know: Restaurant Etiquette - With the main focus on how to treat your server As someone who has been a server for all of my young adult life I have declared myself an expert in the matter. Before we get started, let's take a sneak peek into the life of a server. Servers do not get to eat at the normal meal times. Servers make $2.13 an hour in the state of Texas. It varies from state to state but the general idea is that they are employed by the people they are waiting on. Servers do not get free food whenever they want. Servers have to smile constantly for hours at a time. - Regardless of how rude people are. Those are just a few of the things that servers have to deal with on a regular basis.  Now don't get me wrong, I love my job. The people I work with are nice, the food is delicious, and there i...
