Shelby turns 3! ❤ ❤ ❤

You’re turning three. I can hardly believe it! It seems like just yesterday we were holding our tiny baby and wondering what life would hold for you, for us and for our family. In those early days there were many tears.


We couldn’t imagine the joy waiting for us.
We couldn’t imagine the things you would teach us.
We couldn’t imagine the way our hearts would grow and change.

Your smile lights up the room. It chases away shadows and replaces them with hope.
You’re turning three.
You show us that life isn’t easy but it’s beautiful.
You make every day a celebration.
You make every activity an adventure.
You inspire me to greet each day with joy and an open heart.

I am honored to be your mom. I love you from the tips of my toes to the top of my head~ ❤ ❤ ❤

My Birthday Wishlist

My birthday is exactly in 7 days and like what I always say, I never receive a lot of gifts on my birthday. Most of the time, I buy my own gift! hehe. 

There are few things that I would like to have and it would be so nice if I could have them all for my birthday! Here's my birthday wishlist. :)

1.)Bear Hug

2.) Olivia Burton Watches 

3.) GUESS Floral-Print Sling Bags

4.) ETUDE HOUSE - MAGIC ANY CUSHION

Those are the things I want for my birthday. Some of you may already have everything I wrote here... But that's exactly the reason why I shared this wishlist. It's not always what you have that matters, sometimes it's about what you do to achieve what you want. I am thankful that I don't have everything that I want yet. Because then, I always have a reason to move forward and work harder. I always have something to look forward to and to be excited about. I hope you guys feel the same way, too. 

Happy Birthday to me!

I Have Always Wanted Too.

Since I was a little girl growing up into a teen, there were always 4 things I used to say I wanted to do. Some may call it a dream, because lets face it, they may never happen but some people will tell you there's no reason why you cant do what your heart desires.


I'm always sitting down discussing this topic with friends, so I thought why not type up a little post on the matter as there are probably lots of you out there that sit down and dream of things that you think are out of reach.


People will always tell you that life is too short, and a lot of the time it takes something drastic to happen in someones life for them to open their eyes and start living it. At the age of 25, I feel like like at times I've been dealt the 'rough times', but I've constantly picked myself back up and kept going, but I've realized as I'm getting older, I've let my dreams go.

Castor Oil in Thickens Eyebrows

Use of castor oil promotes hair growth and hence helps thicken your eyebrows and eyelashes. It stimulates rapid growth of hair. The unusual chemical composition of the oil helps to keep your eyebrow and eyelash hairs from breaking. Here are the directions to use:


1.)Rub castor oil over your lashes and brows before bed.
2.)Repeat this procedure every night to get best results.
3.)An alternative way is to gently massage each eyebrow with castor oil for a couple of minutes
4.)Leave it on for half an hour.
5.)Use lukewarm water and a mild cleanser to wash it off.


This too needs to be done daily to achieve desired results.
