Paying It Forward With Pyrex

after a drought from thrifting & leaving empty handed, last month (my birth month) the pyrex gods were surely with me. they brought upon massive luck & an abundance of vintage pyrex pieces were added to my small & humble family. i stumbled upon this spring blossom butter dish on an impromptu visit to good will & for the whopping price of $1.99, who wouldn't pick up this cutie?! although i already had this, i couldnt resist and knew i wanted to give it to someone as a gift. spring blossom print evokes a sense of happiness with its retro feel. or thats atleast thats how it makes me feel, so i wanted to pass those happy feelings to someone else.

Feed Me Well & Nourish My Soul

i woke up early to start my day, most of which, consisted with a lot of time by myself. much needed me time was a must as i needed to replenish my attitude towards work. the past two days have been dreadfully stressful that i found myself feeling bitter & extremely frustrated. no matter how hard the work place can be i try to always remain thankful to the fact that in today's tough economy i even have a job. however, these past two days have proved to be so stressful that gratitude was buried amongst the bitterness. thankfully, i was able to get back to that feeling of gratitude with some quiet time & girl nights in.

also, my spirit is in need of nourishment. i realize just how equally important as is nourishing our physical bodies. when negative feelings easily evade my mind instead of positivity & hope, i know i must stay faithful & diligent in my daily devotionals & prayer.

birthday wishes

i wished for something simple that i always pray about. i hope it comes true before entering a new decade next year.

Good Company

theirs nothing like the company of great friends to bring a smile onto my face.

days of our lives

i woke up with a heavy & sad heart. we all have our fair share of struggles & burdens & some days are worse while other days are better. also, after speaking to a few friends it seems we are all just trying to make it through life's up & downs. today was just one of those days where it seemed a bit much. i pray for gods outpouring love to carry us through our challenges.

though every day may not be a good day, their is something good in everyday.

let go & let flow with one of my favorite aroma therapy candles.

i hardly ever buy any new make-up, so to change it up a bit im using different styles of lashes. got an amazing deal on them!

such adorable cupcakes at my girlfriends baby shower.

i was content with making do with my usual hiking attire until the fiance forced me to pick up new gear that was more appropriate.  the shoes have better grip and dri-fit clothing left me to wonder why i waited so long to invest in great hiking gear. they definitely make a huge difference.

italian ice & frozen custard, an east coast treat, that i finally got to try for the first time. i'll definitely be back to try more flavors. what a delicious combination the two make.
