Thanksgiving Eve

Well it's Thanksgiving Eve..boy how times have changed. years ago i'd be resting right now before a big night out! I had some really great times..but I must say that they are pale in comparison to the fulfillment that I have with my family. Just being home with them is a blessing in itself. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it isn't about the gifts although I'd be lying if I said I don't love me some presents! The reality is that we can all get caught up with the materialism of Christmas but Thanksgiving is different..it is a time that most people ponder on the blessings in their life. I call them blessings because I know they come from God. Well just put the kiddies to bed. They are so excited for tomorrow. They love their family time! Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving! Let the holiday season begin!xxoo

PS

Black friday is sure to have some amazing sales but no need to get up and out at 4am! One of my favorite sites is Grechenscloset.com she is the online coupon code queen!! If there's a sale code to be had for online shopping, she will have it, as well as some exclusive giveaways! So check her out and if you don't know now you know!!

So I am soo happy I pushed myself to go to kickboxing today..I had an awesome workout and since Thursday is Thanksgiving and the dojo will be closed I needed to kick butt today! When I got back home I was so happy to see a FedEx box outside of my door. My new Chanel nail polish arrived! Trapeze..I tried it in the store and loved it but for some reason didn't buy it. Boy do I hate when I do that. It wasn't long after that I had to order it online. Ladies it is such a beautiful neutral color. A taupey frost that is soo flattering and perfect for all of your holiday outfits. I am obsessed with Chanel polishes. At $23 I know it is an expensive indulgence for the nails but since I do them myself I say it's worth it. Don't get me wrong, I haven't abandoned my OPI's , Essie's , or Zoya's..there is just something about the way Chanel polishes go on and last that I love, and the colors always have something special about them. take Jade for example..yes there are many other light green shades available but if you were actually able to get your hands on the real Jade, you know what I'm talking about. Ok so I will post some pics of Trapeze later so you can all see what a beautiful color it is. Lot's to do before Thanksgiving!

Janet Jackson AMA Awards HD American Music Awards 2009 Live Performance

One of my fave performances of last night!

American Music Awards

Well last night I was able to catch some of the AMA's. While they haven't peeked my interest in recent years, I was especially tuning in to catch Janet Jackson's opening performance. She was amazing. I was really devastated by the sudden death of MJ and to me she is the only other member of the Jackson family that can do him proud. Her medley of greatest hits brought back so many memories and she is a true icon in her own right. Another one of my fave performances was that of Whitney Houston. The raw emotion he displayed was a true blessing. Her humility and gratitude toward God for keeping her in her darkest hour was touching to say the least. But I cannot end this post without mentioning JLO, or Adam Lambert for that matter. I guess it was a slippery stage because both of them had slip ups. It wouldn't have been so bad except JLo was singing about being in her Louboutin's and fell while she was in her kicks!! I usually enjoy her performances but this one left much to be desired. On to Adam...Adam , what can I say..I mean after his extreme theatrics on Idol there isn't much left. To be honest the AMA stage in my opinion swallowed him up. the slip on the stairs didn't help either. He has amazing vocal capability but I think all of the dancing took away from his voice. Another note worthy performance was Mary J's . She looks amazing,even better than she did back in the day. Keep doing what your doing Mary because it's definitely working. From a fashion stand point I wont get too much into best dressed and what nots but I will say that Rihanna hit a high note for me in her white cut out jump suit. She manages to pull it off and I don't know of many that could. Lady Gaga needs to hang up the leotard and get an actual outfit! well that's my take on the AMA's. I must be off now, get my kiddies ready for school!

So excited to have created this blog. Writing has always been a passion of mine and being a full time homemaker I find myself pondering on the coulda woulda shoulda's of my life. Don't get me wrong being home with my kids full time is what I want to be doing, but I would be lying if I said there weren't times and usually those are the bad days lol that I imagine myself at work or writing full time. Actually I am under the weather. I went to the doc yesterday and I am now on the zpack so I should be better soon. Spending the entire day home can sometimes drive me crazy but today has been great. My boys were playing with their legos and I decided to start my blog! So welcome..I hope you enjoy my posts, they will usually cover what is going on in my life as well as my latest fashion and beauty obsessions!
