Top 5 of the Week

1. Journal. Every year I keep a journal.  I always keep an eye out for the "perfect one." This year I found my journal at TJ Maxx.  I also found the perfect planner, but sadly, I already purchased one for this year.  If you ever want a pretty notebook, journal or planner, TJ Maxx & Marshall's are the way to go!!!

2. Healthy Snack. I'm always on the look out for a goof healthy snack.  I also found these at TJ Maxx.  Holy cow are these good!!!!!!! Sorry it is such a crappy picture, but I finished them off and wanted to snap a quick pic before I threw it away. I hope they have more the next time I go back!

3. Current Read. If you are stuck in a rut, feeling down, and need a pick me up, this is the book for you! I recommend any book from Joel or Victoria Osteen.  They are always inspiring and uplifting!

4. Sick Food. I had a stupid head cold this week. What's the best food to eat when your sick? Chicken noodle soup!  I always make my own.  It's super easy and wayyy better than any can soup!

5. Current Mag. Got my shape magazine in the mail this week.  I love looking at all the recipes in the back!!!

#1 I have trouble sleeping at night and I don't like taking NyQuil or Tylenol PM as a sleep aid. I have tried Melatonin pills before and they did nothing for me.  I saw these VitaFusion Beauty Sleep gummies at Walmart and decided to try them on a whim. So glad I did! These are awesome!!!! Just be sure to chew them up thoroughly before swallowing them. 

#2  My cousin and her husband came up last weekend for a visit.  Before we all went to bed, we decided to watch the first episode of Stranger Things. Boy was that a mistake! We were all hooked and we made a pretty tight schedule for their visit, so the struggle was real to stop watching it and sleep.  As soon as they left, we watched the rest of the season.  It. was. AWESOME!!!

#3 I went on a Dollar Tree haul the other day. I purchased Suave Moroccan infusion body lotion, 6 blade razors, lavender scented Epsom salts, Yeti pot, (Generic Neti Pot), USB car charger, hand mirror, and scrunchies.

#4 I borrowed this audio book from the library on Friday.  I like to listen to audio books while I am at work. Mr. Peanut by Adam Ross has a Gone Girl like feel to it.  I like it so far!

#5 My furbaby enjoying her pool.

Top 5 of the Week

1. I love my Lady of the House Downton Abbey coffee mug!

2. My sister made me a grilled cheese!!!! I know this is something unimportant to others, but to me, its a big deal! My sister was so sick for so long. Just the simple act of walking across the room completely wore her out and made her tired. Now, since transplant, she is doing so many normal activities of daily living that other people take for granted. I was so grateful for this grilled cheese.

3. Oh my goodness!!!!!! Y'all know how much I love Kimberly Jones Pothier.  I have mentioned her before.  She is very inspiring and empowers women. I was scrolling through facebook the other day and saw this.  She is going to be on a show!!!! Preachers of Atlanta. I can't wait to watch it!

4. I picked up some amazing beauty deals from Target clearance!!!

5. I am a forensics junkie/lab nerd. (I am a Laboratory Technician...so that may explain a lot!) I am obsessed with this new crime show that is happening in real time. If you like forensic files, you will probably like this too!!!

How was your week?

Top 5 of The Week

1. Favorite bible verse of the week- I have the YouVersion Bible app on my phone. I love this app. I can read the bible anywhere I go, plus it gives me the option to highlight the passages I like. It also gives me the option to take the bible verse of the day, and make a beautiful picture out of it. This was especially fitting for me this week, an extra reminder to always be nice, even to people who have hurt me.

2. Yogi Tea- I love Yogi teas! I have 3 different kinds in my cupboard. What I love most about this brand is the inspirational quotes on the tabs.

3. Zulily- Have you seen that post on facebook that has been circulating about one woman's customer service on Zulily? She said she had an issue with an article of clothing on Zulily and wanted to send it back and they told her they would fix the problem, but not send back the clothing, just give it to her favorite charity. Well, I ordered this jacket on Zulily. When it finally arrived, they sent two.  I checked my billing statement to make sure I didn't accidentally buy two. I didn't, so I called customer service. I explained to them what happened and was going to ask about how to return it when the lady from customer service told me that it was totally their fault and to just go ahead and give it to my favorite charity or someone in need.  This just made me love Zulily even more! 

4. Adult Coloring Book- I jumped on the adult coloring bandwagon! I love it and I am not ashamed!!! Perfect for the snow day I just had!

5. We got snow! About 23 inches to be exact! I am over the snow. Yes, it is pretty, but I hate being snowed in!

1. Happy New Year! This year, we rang in the New Year with my sister in the hospital! We are so thankful to for her donor.  Because of their selfless act, my sister can spend many more New Years with us!

2. Organizing- I started off the new year cleaning and organizing! This is only 1/10th of my whole makeup collection! I have way too much.  I threw out the old, and giving away the good products I don't use. 

3. Calendar- I found this awesome calendar at Hobby Lobby. I love anything positive or inspirational! I am trying to surround myself in positivity this year.

4. Hat- I absolutely adore my new hat from Target! It was $19.99 and I got it for 25% off with my cartwheel app!

5. Devotional- I like my new Devotional for this year. Unfortunately, this one doesn't have 366! As I was writing in important dates on my new calendar, I realized this year is leap year!

Top 5 Of The Week

1. Christmas. As you have read before in Our Christmas Miracle post, we were beyond excited to spend this Christmas with my sister. So blessed God has given her a new life! We spent the majority of the day in the hospital, but hey, we were all together!!! That was all that mattered!!! She has had a few really good days this week. We are so thankful for that! Nothing I love more than seeing that beautiful smile on her face!

2. I am soooo in love with these leggings my bestie got me for Christmas!!!! Super comfy too!

3. Ugh! I saw it. It made the boyfriend very happy so that's all that mattered!

4. I now have Sirius.  I am loving it! I listen to 128-Joel Osteen, 117-HLN on weekends and evenings to listen to Forensic Files, (I know, I am a huge nerd!) And occasionally 184 for current hits and sometimes christian praise music. 

5. We went on a road trip today, and since we missed church today, we listened to Joel Osteen. I just love him! He is so full of inspiration!!! He inspired me and gave me a little hope on a situation that I am at a crossroads at this point in my life.
