Words...

Actions speak louder then words, but sometimes words can hurt more then anything else. Words don't have power to hurt, unless the person who said them means a lot to you. Think before you speak! Once those words are said they can be only forgiven but not forgotten. We all do it... we talk about people to others whether it is venting about them to others or just straight talking about them. Be mindful of who can hear. you may be hurting that person who over hears more then the person you are talking about. 

That's my wisdom for this Wednesday! Like Thumper said, "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all."

I decided to make my own Flash Back Friday playlist on my ipod!

Wednesday means....

I'm sure you have heard that Wednesdays are WCW meaning Woman Crush Wednesdays. Well, I want to participate although I am probably not doing it the correct way and looking at this "crush" as a wonderful role model I was blessed with!  My mom! She is a beautiful woman inside and out and that would be why I chose her for today.

This is my mom and I at one of my favorite times spent with her....at a Keith Urban concert! 

There is so much I can tell you about my mom. She is an amazing woman and means so much to me. She has been my number one fan and would always tell me that she would be. If she was to ever go missing on her own, you could catch her at the beach. She smiles like a kid in a candy shop when she is at the beach! 

She Home schooled me in High school and we became oh so close! She passed down her love of dance and abilities to me. One of my favorite memories of when I was little was she would be cleaning the kitchen with music playing and the song "Everything I do" by Bryan Adams was on and she would pick me up and slow dance with me to it. One of our favorite things to do together was go to the local zoo take a picnic of food and sit in front of the Monkeys and have our lunch! Which we will be doing this spring/summer because I am going to be taking her there!

She fixes the Best Lasagna and Brownies ever! I try to fix them and they are close but never the same so I wonder why do I even try. Then makes me wonder what are my kids going to have that they can never get just right? Because really I don't have anything I make from scratch or really good.... 

She decorates her house and parties up like something you would see from a magazine. It really is Breath-taking!

We were like Lorelai and Rory from the Gilmore Girls and 4 years ago I did something I thought would never happen, I was Rory with Logan. I chose the worse guy ever over my mom. Watching the show I always thought why can't Rory see that Logan isn't for her and why can't she see he's a little punk. I did it it too! I went for a year not talking to her I regret doing that every day! 

I hurt her so much over an idea I thought I had. I did move back in with her and my dad and it wasn't the same I had so much anger and disappointment until I started dating Kris and now I feel like I am back to who I was before I messed up my life. 

 Some days I feel like I am an even better person now then I was back then. Everyday, just like back then I ask myself "Would my actions I made today make my mom and dad proud?" That's really all I care about most days. I always want them to be proud of me that's why I would love to just erase that time of my life. 

I ask Kris all the time, "why couldn't you have found me sooner?" It would have saved a lot of heart ache, tears and money. 

The past makes us who we are and be grateful for what we have and I am glad I am who I am today and was able to see the excitement she had from getting ready to go on a tropical vacation with my dad, who she has been married to for 27 years now!

That picture is so true! Just last night in the grocery store I had a moment where yep the sign fell right after I picked something up and that would have never happened to anyone else my Mom and I. I rolled my eyes giggled and moved quickly to the next aisle. 

So happy WCW! Hope you have a wonderful day! 

Make sure you stop and enjoy what you have today and Listen to your mom! She is always right! This was such a hard post to type because the tears kept falling! I love you Mama!

Tasty Tuesday!

Ring the bell.......Eat Ready! Dinner is served!  Tonight, I fixed Chili -cheese dogs and french fries! They were so good! It totally hit the spot! I don't know why but when ever the temperature rises I crave a Hot Dog! I got my fix tonight with my dinner! 

Pulled out that George Forman grill, put those Hot Dogs on it for about 10 mins rotating them here and there while the fries baked in the oven with Old Bay seasoning sprinkled on them and on the stove the can of chili simmered. It all came together so yummy! It was for sure one of those nights where I didn't care If I got an "I Like" from my boyfriend because it hit the spot for me!

Hope your dinner was as good as mine! Comment below any recipes you feel like sharing or ideas! I would love to try some new things! I gotta keep earning those brownie points!

Manicure Monday with a touch of sparkle

Good morning! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter yesterday! Well, I know I said last Monday that the nails colors I had gotten I would show you each manicure Monday.... well over the weekend I got a new color... so I am going to show you the new color today....

Of course they are from the Sally Hansen Nail collection.... the Triple Shine is called Dream Sequins and the Insta-dri color is called Petal Pusher.

I love the color it took about 3 coats for my nails to get the full color and then adding the Dream Sequins color to my ring fingers was such a cute and subtle touch. It still kept my nails classy. The colors work very well with each other. 

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Please leave a comment below... I haven't gotten any comments in forever.... it is kind of sad.....not feeling the love readers......

Sally Hansen Nail Polish

It worked for me!

Hello! Happy Saturday! So I went to Walgreens to get one thing and came out with a few other things. One of them being a Conair Hair kit on making a perfect bun for your hair! Having layered hair it has been hard for me to have a nice bun and not look like I should be part of the Fraggle Rock gang!

The only thing that bothered me was the kit came with so much but no instructions..... so I looked on Pinterest and found how to use it!

I tried it today and I am sure after a little more practice, I can fix my hair in the bun quicker then I did today so I can wear my hair like this to work.  

Hope you all are having a great day! Comment below!

Can I get an "I Like?"

Good morning! Last night, I tried to be a little experimental and I made Grilled Chicken Sandwiches! They were so good! I was very proud and if you get an "I Like" from my boyfriend it is how he says things are  like the best thing ever! Which the grilled chicken sandwiches got an "I Like!"


So all I did was seasoned Chicken breast tenderloins with Mcormicks Montreal chicken seasoning and  cooked them on the George Forman grill.

The broccoli was our side and it was so good just fixing it in the bag! YUM!

Then we added our own toppings Mayo, cheese, pickles, and lettuce. I added Pepper Jack cheese for a little spicy taste and my boyfriend just used Colby Jack cheese! 

I also toasted the buns slightly in the toaster to make them a bit stronger so it wouldn't be as messy!

While, we ate dinner last night we watched Ride Along and the dinner was much better.... Honestly the funniest parts of the movie are the parts you see in the previews in my opinion.

Hope you all have a great day! If you like Grilled chicken sandwiches try and make your own! It was very easy! Leave me some love!

At The Bon Fire...

Hello! I had a wonderful weekend and I hope you did as well! Last night my boyfriend's family and I had a cookout to kick off the Summer festivities since it was so beautiful! I can't wait to do many more! 

We started off with making "The Brittany Concoction" which is a Pink Lemonade and Moscoto mix drink. It was very yummy! We sipped on that while the Hot Dogs and Hamburgers grilled! One of my favorite things about summer is cookouts! of course we started a little early I know it's not Summer yet....but having a Hot Dog and Pasta Salad is my favorite but last night it was Mac and Cheese! 

Ending the night with a Bon Fire was beautiful. The full moon was showing over the lake and well the fire didn't last long since the wind was blowing so much. It was all around a fun and beautiful experience!

Leave some love! I'm going now to my favorite Restaurant Buffalo Wild Wings  with my boyfriend and my best friend Natalie!!

Really... It's only Tuesday?

Hello everyone! Can you believe it's only Tuesday night..... I feeling like it should be Thursday night. I am very sleepy, had a pretty busy day. At work, we had our spring party where the class got to do an egg hunt and then eat some healthy and not so healthy treats.  It was fun! Although I was very surprised that none of the kids did I what I did when I was their age at the egg hunt!

 Let me explain and to do that we need to travel way back.....back.....more.....yeah keep going.....back....back.....back.... alright....no wait more.... okay perfect! Sorry got a little carried away.....anyway, so when I was in preschool ,the little blonde that I was, was wondering how and why all my friends were running past all these eggs I was finding  in my egg hunt well come to find out the girl I was following had a hole in her basket and I was just picking up all her eggs that were being dropped from her basket......

I wanted to share with you all that the Mark. Island Elegance Maxi Dress that I told you about in my What's Next? Post came in! It is so beautiful! It fits perfectly and for sure will be my new favorite! It has swirls of blues,greens,and golds in the high-low type of dress.

Sorry the picture isn't perfect my boyfriend took it for me and out of the 40 he took this was the best. I can't wait to wear this dress this summer! 

The dress will be available for you to purchase in about 2 weeks. It is featured in the Mark Campaign 10 & 11!

Be sure to visit www.youravon.com/aeanes to make your purchase!

Hope yall have a wonderful night! Sweet Dreams!

Talk nerdy to me....

Hello! Happy Monday to you! I hope you all had a wonderful day! It was a rainy one here.... Rain on a Monday...seems just not nice

How exciting! I received an overwhelming request to post a picture of myself in the outfit I talked about in my last blog post. Messages saying, " post a picture of you in your Superman shirt and maxi skirt." " the outfit sounds so cute I wanna see!"

Okay Okay Okay.... Here you go!

 Plus I wanted to share with you a funny moment I experienced while wearing this outfit!

Now at the time I didn't have my glasses on but I had got to the grocery store and two boys, I'd say about 16 or 17, were walking down the same aisle I was stopped on reading the back of the brownie mix box. Well one of them says, "Dude... look its a hot nerd." I didn't think anything of it... I mean they couldn't have been talking about me right? His friend says, " No... she is hot but I don't think she's a nerd." They walk closer to me and the first one says' " she is she's got lactose milk and all."  Yes ladies and gentlemen I did have lactose milk in my cart because I am lactose and tolerant to milk... at that moment I simply bowed my head and walked on then busted out laughing! 

I'm not sure how to really take that.... take it as a compliment for being a hot nerd or be upset I was called a nerd?! 

Either way it was so funny and it is a story I will be telling for a while! 

So if you are looking to recreate this outfit for yourself...get you card ready to do some shopping!

Spring Styling Saturday

Hello! Hope everyone had a great week! We had some gorgeous weather here this week and I believe I wore a maxi skirt everyday! It was Fantastic! I also was able to catch a sale on the Wetseal website and ordered 9 outfits for $110. My boyfriend was very impressed with my thought process of the things I ordered and how cheap my total bill was! My cart was filled with Maxi dress and maxi skirts! 

I feel so comfortable in a maxi dress or skirt and right now I am liking that the skirts are hiding my white legs and are still breezy enough to where I was hot. I also love that you can dress them up or down. Like today I have on my Superman tee and a red maxi skirt. I feel super cute and comfy! I feel as if you can do so much with them to where it looks like you have a different outfit on each time even though it's the same skirt or dress. Just from adding a belt, wearing different color accessories, different shoes, different hair style, or adding a vest you get a different outfit. Plus adding the vests or short sleeve cardigans to the strapless dresses or spaghetti straps will cover the straps or lack of so you can wear that dress if you have a dress code to follow where you are wanting to wear the dress at. I have so much fun piecing together different things with each dress or skirt.   

Charlotte Russe Dresses · Forever 21 Day Dresses · Forever 21 Cocktail Dresses

jcpenney Long Skirts · Forever 21 Long Skirts · Charlotte Russe Long Skirts

True Blue Vests · Swell Vests · Vanilla Star Vests

Forever 21 Belts · Mossimo Belts · Style&co. Belts

Hope these ideas help you with you Spring fashion! Have a wonderful day and Enjoy every bit of it! Leave me some Love!

I just ordered the dress and the first thing that came to my mind seeing it was, "OMG! I found a dress for my cruise!" Yes that's right this girl right here is going on a cruise in 242 days!!! Jamaica and the Bahamas HERE I COME!!!

My boyfriend and I are going with 3 other couples and I can't wait! I am trying not to talk about it too much since it is so far away. 

I have a lot of Maxi Dresses as it is now but you know you always want to buy something new for your trips and I know I won't save the dress for the trip because...well I want to wear it now and it hasn't even gotten her yet

I did get myself and the girls an outlet item from Avon the Mark Sunny Disposition Hat  I would love to have a picture taken of us from behind with our floppy hats on!
