I just recently came back from Boston to visit one of my best friends who I had met in graduate school. She had twins last year and I was finally able to come up and meet them. They are just precious! We hung out and played with the babies, drank wine, and I ate lots of this -

While I was on a short vacation, Martini went for a doggie vacation to Grandma's house. She said he was a little helper by pulling out all of the toys from the toy basket and pulling out all the garbage of the bathroom cans. He is just like a kid.

New hair!

Since I have moved back to Memphis from Knoxville, I have gone to a different salon every time I get my hair done. I found a place I liked, but it soon became too expensive for me. Last year before my wedding I found ....Daniel Shay's Hair Studio. and Casey, who does the most amazing things to my hair. For me to come home and my husband to notice my hair and just tell me how great it looks, I knew I had found a winner. They are located on Germantown Pkwy in Memphis between Germantown and Cordova.

Casey does the most amazing job! I always feel so sassy when I leave because I know my hair looks hot! The only thing I wish is that she could do my hair everyday!

Here is a before pic and and after pic (sorry, no makeup today)

Big difference, right?! Love my new hair!

update

Sunner school is officially over! I taught 3 year old deaf children and we spend most of June in the restroom potty training. I have one more month til I report back to work and have a few fun things planned for the month. I have been reading a lot, but I need to be doing some work on the house. Unfun things like caulking my bathtub and scrubbing the outside of the house need to be done. Now I just have to motivate myself to do it. Maybe tomorrow...

I am in love...

Jamie from CSN Stores asked if I would be interested in doing a product review for them. I had done a giveaway with them and loved the variety of items they carry. So of course I had to say yes! I mean the carry everything from wall sconces to kitchenware, furniture to wallpaper! They really do carry almost everything - they have over 200 websites to look through!

I was sent a gift certificate to pick out what I wanted to review. It took me 5 days to decide and I couldn't decide on one item so I picked 2 very different items out.

First thing I picked out is this Hadaki Lunch pod. I just adore it! I have gotten so many compliments on it and three of my coworkers have already went online to purchase one for themselves. It is insulated and there is a magnetic handle so it closes itself. I just love the design too!

Second item I chose was something I needed! I chose the Pixie Sewing Machine by Singer.

It is the perfect size and not overwhelming to use. My husband is excited for me to learn how to fix his torn pants!

I love CSN Stores!

upcoming review

Have you heard of CSN STORES? I hosted a giveaway along with them a while back, and I was amazed at all of their products. They have 200+ stores! Everything from wall sconces to patio furniture, home decor to kitchenware! I will be doing an upcoming product review for CSN stores, and I can't wait to share it with you. I just love this wall art!

It is June already?

I just got back from Vegas with my mom. We had a great time, but I am so happy to be home! We saw The Lion King, Viva Elvis, and Phantom of the Opera - all great shows! But Vegas is not the same without my husband. I missed him so much!

So now I am back home and we have been doing a Sopranos marathon. We started at season 1 episode 1 and are almost finished with season 2. I report back to Summer school on Thursday. I am not ready to go back already.

I have been going to a free running clinic on Tuesday nights to get back into running again. I had a great workout and ran and walked about 2 and a half miles today. By the end my face matched hot pink shorts. It is extremely hot and humid here in Memphis. Let's hope I can walk tomorrow!
