Ten Guilty Pleasures

· Brown Sugar Bacon (Yes, I actually take bacon and sprinkle pepper & brown sugar, then bake)
· Salt and Vinegar Chips (really any kind of chips)
· Toe nail polish (I must own 100 different colors)
· Body Lotion/ Body wash (I am obsessed with matching scents!)
· Shoes (need I say more!)
· Good wine
· Nordstrom’s (shopping….love it)
· Lip Gloss (also at Nordstrom’s two guilty pleasures at once)
· Peanut Butter (I put PB on everything….my excise is that it’s all natural and full of protein)
· Magazines (I love reading about other people problems…Sick!)
and the list goes on!!

I’m a show-off

I am so in love with our wedding photos I’ve just got to flaunt them!
I have come up with the idea on how to display our wedding photos. I am going to hang 15 frames (same color/ different sizes) and do somewhat of a wedding photo wall. It will be a mix of key moments from our BIG day (cake, bouquet, favors, and invitation) and not to forget a few photos of Adam and I and our wedding party!

Once my DIY project is complete I will share photos.

This Weeks 5 favorite things

Bubble Baths
Once in a while it's nice to be able to have a nice long hot bath to relax in, especially after a hard day at work. And what better way to have a bath then to add bubble bath! Here's a way to make your own personalized bubble bath.

Things you’ll need:
· Clear Liquid Dish Soap
· Food Coloring
· Essential Oils
· Spoon
· Dried Flowers (optional)
· Decorative Bottles




Instructions:
Step 1
Pour the clear liquid dish soap into the bottle (3/4 of the way). If the opening is small make the bubble bath in a separate container and then pour into the decorative bottle.
Step 2
Add food coloring. Start with a few drops and gradually add more to achieve your desired color. Stir gently while doing this to spread the color around. Do not shake as you will get bubbles everywhere!
Step 3
Add essential oils. Lavender is a good one for relaxation. Again start with a few drops and add as needed. Essential oils are pretty concentrated so usually just a small amount will do.
Step 4
Optional: Add dried flowers or other decorative items to 'pretty up' the bubble bath.
Step 5
Enjoy a nice relaxing bath!
