Renovation Dreams

ATL, Atlanta, Enhancements, Renovation

I am so excited about my continuing renovation. I recently purchased an AKDY tub from Home Depot and I keep imaging what that new tub will look like in my home. I also need to get the updates completed on my kitchen – I’m anticipating a new, large window for the kitchen and I want to update my counters. I’ve been taking my time with looking at items but I still have not found stone counters that I have fallen in love with. I don’t want to do bright white but I might go with that – I have a lovely farmhouse sink to compliment the space. The reflective lighting will be so beautiful.

here is a list of things I’m doing this year:

  • Sourcing countertops
  • purchasing new windows
  • getting pismo door knobs
  • add more solar lighting to trees outside of home
  • replace my dewalt lawn mower with a robo lawn mower
  • knock down some walls in the laundry room and guest bathroom
  • install privacy fence
  • install parking patio

There is still so much to do but I love the house God gave me 🙂 I think the roses and the natural privacy hedge have turned into my favorites thus far. I have recently requested to join the Amazon Affiliate Program and Home Depot Affiliates. I’ll try to link to the items when I can. 🙂

Bra Upgrades – Bare Necessities

Beauty, Enhancements, Uncategorized

My boobs have gotten so much bigger lately, but not my back. Dang it is hard to find size 30-32 bras in store. I mean, REALLY HARD. Why? Even online, at the major retailers, there are not many options. A while back, I tried Victoria’s Secret but no such luck – I guess that I’m not into their quality. I really am more of a full coverage, t-shirt bra kinda gal for most days (A New York and Company bralette works, too), and I used to be able to find some decent ones at Marshall’s & TJ Maxx (Calvin Klein, Nautica, Polo), but when I tried for my real size there were none to be found. I had to go online. Thankfully, I found Bare Necessities – I finally got my order in the mail a week or so ago. Yess! I think that they fit very well and they aren’t too hard too look at either. Here is a quick link to a sale they’re having right now – I got the Fituitive Bras. Such a good deal. Just wanted to put you all onto something great. 😉

Oh Grande (Cosmetics) – Lashes

Beauty, Cosmetics, Enhancements, Uncategorized

Have any of you heard of Grande Cosmetics?

I heard about them via KKFit many years ago, and I’ve been using their products off and on ever since – the twins had such great results but mine seem to be stagnant. Based on my research of the products, they should work pretty well. I know that there are a lot of people that generally have issues with these products, but I didn’t. My eyes didn’t change colors and I do not have a strange line across my eyelid, nor did I develop any strange eye infections. I do believe that it is very important to be careful around the eyes, but I clearly do not have those types of issues.

Have any of you tried any other lash enhancing serums or anything that could aid in the growth of lashes and brows?

I’ve also tried MILK, Absolute New York, Rodan + Fields, Maybelline, and Milani.

I really liked the results I received at first, but is there a reason that they don’t continue to grow? I think it might have something to do with conditioning as well. I do not wear mascara. I’ll have to keep you all posted – might have to go back to using castor oil.

Here is an affiliate link to the product on Amazon. I recommend the 6 month supply – with consistency, the lashes grow very, very quickly. Regardless, I had great success with this product and highly recommend the brand’s products as a whole. Once I have my store up, I’ll link to all the ones I use.
