Monday Questionnaire! December 16, 2013



This month is once again flying by, and Christmas is literally right around the corner! I'm very excited about the Holiday season this year, because for once I'm able to spread my cheer with many of those around me, and hopefully make their holiday season that much more special! Another Monday is upon us, so here is another questionnaire to start the week off right. 

 1. Mood:
-Worn out. As always, Mondays are tough and I am not an early morning person.
2. Which is your favorite holiday to celebrate? 
-Christmas! I feel like it's the one holiday where everyone is festive. 


3. Who do you typically spend your holiday with? 
-I always go home on Christmas morning, and after breakfast we all go to my grandmothers for the day. 


4. Current nail polish: 

-None. I want to get acrylics either today or tomorrow. 


5. Holiday shopping--do you get it done early or leave it until the last minute?
-I usually always forget something and have to shop last minute, but this year I'm done, and it's early. 
 
6. Current outfit: 
-Straight blue jeans from American Eagle, Royal blue loose top from Forever 21, Grey cardigan from Target, Leopard flats from Charlotte Russe.
 
7. Holiday gifts--do you enjoy giving or receiving gifts more? 
-Both? I mean who doesn't enjoy getting gifts. 


8. What is your favorite holiday tradition? 
-Since my boyfriend and I have been together, we go and get an ornament for him, his daughter, and myself. I write the year on it and save it. Now, 20 years down the line, we can look back and see everyone's choices! 


9. What is your favorite holiday treat? 
-On Christmas morning my step mom makes us monkey bread and pigs in a blanket! I get excited about it every year. 


10. Weekly goals:
-Stay strong! Stay positive. Be happy!

Blogtober Day 24! DIY Remove Black Stains from Hardwood Floors

      This blog is coming to you by accident, of course. I don't know if I've mentioned it much on this blog, but I have two pitbulls. I know, a lot to handle, and one of them is a puppy. She is horrible sometimes, but I can't help but love her. Our whole house is hardwood floors, which I love! With my two dogs, if the happen to have an accident it's really easy to clean up...or so I thought.  We have had a large living room rug down for about 6 months now. Over the weekend we decided to take it outside and air it out and do a little "Fall Cleaning". Low and behold underneath the rug were huge dark black spots on the hardwood. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to see what to do. It turns out dogs urine causes the wood to turn black (who knew?). So I found a solution that I'm really excited to share with you.  Peroxide! Awesome, I had plenty on hand and immediately started to try it out. At first I used a paint brush to apply it to the specific areas.  Almo...

Personal Planner Setup

I have been using a planner for as long as I can remember. My little OCD self needs something to keep me grounded and on track. About 3 years ago I discovered Erin Condren as well as the planner community on social media (if you are a planner person check them out, it is such a positive and supportive group of people). If you're not familiar, the Erin Condren Life Planner is an A5 size planner (7" by 9") and is a thick planner. For me, this type of planner is not convenient for every day use so this planner stays at home on my desk and is used mostly for my creative side, not functionality. This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock....

Why I'm No Longer Purchasing from Erin Condren

  I'm fully aware that some people might not agree with me on this topic, but I really need to share my experiences with Erin Condren as well as my opinions on why I do not plan on purchasing from this brand any longer.  Customer Service Good customer service is what makes a company, and unfortunately that is NOT Erin Condren's top priority. My personal experience with the customer service has been half and half. The policies and responses to customers is never consistent which makes me believe they make do not have any rules and guidelines for dealing with customer issues. In my opinion a company should have guidelines for handling issues and complaints.  Quality Control I have placed a total of 25 orders with Erin Condren over the past 5 years. Within the last 2 years 4 out of 5 orders have arrived either incorrect, flawed, or completely wrong. Again, only in my opinion, the way that this company lets orders leave there facility tells me that they don't...
