TEAM ISSAC ♥

After reading this post & this one too...from the beautiful (inside & out), Erin from Living in Yellow...to put it lightly...I was moved.

With tears streaming down my cheeks...I read & I kept on reading. I read both Erin words, & the personal journal of Isaac's Parents...here.

I immediately donated, but felt the need to do so much more & of course...spread the word to all of you. I cannot even begin to fathom this amount of pain, and if I can do ANYTHING at all to ease it...I ABSOLUTELY will.

None of us know this little Angel personally, but in an instant...he invaded ALL of our lives...and our hearts.

If this story touches your heart too...please please don't hesitate to reach out. No matter how small...no act of love goes unnoticed, and EVERY kindness counts.

Let us all join in this movement to help make Isaac & his family's Christmas...one to remember. Because after all...THAT is the TRUE meaning of Christmas.

ALL the ways you can make a difference are right here.

Thank you...with EVERY beat of my heart.

In this life...we ALL gotta stick together & help each other...whenever we need it most.
THIS is one of those times.

I love & appreciate you all...SO MUCH MORE than words. 





We ♥ You, Isaac & We Are ALL Rootin' For You!

My "A Ha" Moment

Yesterday was a rough day.

I got it one accident & avoided very closely…2 more.

First…B&I were rear ended & then later…on our way home, now in 2 separate cars…I dodged a dog in the middle of the street, on a country road, with absolutely no lights…and then…a very large deer. It darted directly in front of my car & if I hadn't been paying close attention & not slammed on my brakes (and I mean, everything flying off my seats, pedal to the metal slammed)…it would have been over. 

Yep.

All in one day.

As you can imagine…I was a little shaken today, and absolutely did not want to drive.

But last night, as I laid my head to rest…it hit me.

You see, for a very long time now…I haven't been living. Breathing, but not truly living. 

Waiting for this to be perfect, and that to be right, and me to be "me" again.

Not using my new purses or driving my brand new car, until I deserve them.

Not signing up for singing lessons until I'm cute enough. Because the two are directly related, right?

Crazy I know.

Not taking yoga & pilates classes until I lose a few more pounds. Yep…that makes the most sense.

I know.

And so on. And on.

With tears streaming down my cheeks & B's arms around me…the lesson, my "a ha" moment…just came over me.

It felt like God was speaking to me & asking me how bad I wanted to live. When would I begin to live again?  How bad did I want to be here? Would I use my life to it's fullest & to my fullest? 

The answer…my answer was YES!!! Absolutely 100%…YES!!!

And with that moment…I was changed.

Life REALLY is a gift, and if you wait until you feel you're "enough"…it may be too late.

YOU ARE ENOUGH.

YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Not tomorrow. Not next week, month, year…RIGHT THIS MINUTE.

We've all heard the saying, "If you don't use it…you lose it", and in that moment…that's exactly how I interpreted my message.

Life is meant to be lived.

Meant to be abundant & beautiful.

Meant for us to get everything possible out of it, and one day leave this earth…with nothing.

Completely empty.

Empty because we gave life our all!

So…gorgeous ones…this is my message to you.

If you're insane like me & haven't been living "your very best life"…it's NEVER too late to begin the rest of your life.

I'm here, I love you, I believe in you, & I'm rooting for you us! 

So from here on out…

let us vow to grab life by the balls (LOL) & leave this earth…empty!

Bobby & I are completely fine. Damage to our car, of course, but us…THANK YOU, JESUS…not a scratch. And the other driver…the very same. 

If you've ever had an "a ha" moment…I'd love to hear all about it.

Thank you ALL…for adding SO MUCH JOY to my life & SO MUCH LOVE…in my heart.

I love you & I am oh so grateful.

To the newest members of our VKKD Family…I welcome you…with ALL the warmth in the world!

Thank you SO much for being here!

And as a little token of my gratitude…

SO Grateful, SO Blessed, & SO…ALIVE!

When I count my blessings…I count YOU…twice!

To Paris…With ♥.

Hi Beauties!

Happy Monday.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend & that your week has started out…Beautifully!

I wanted to do a little "Show & Tell" with you & share an ADORABLE Limited Edition Palette from Sigma, that I just got & love! The colors…oh the colors. STUNNING. Perfect for fall & PERFECT for Christmas/Holiday Gifts! If you've never purchased any Sigma products, I can assure you that the quality is amazing & the pigmentation is excellent. This palette was developed by some of YouTube's most popular Gurus & comes with a little booklet explaining the colors, meanings, & stuff! 

If you're interested…all info is here.

And if not…that's totally fine too! LOL!

I'm in no way affiliated with Sigma, just got it, loved it, & wanted to share!

Here's what sold me on it even more.

This Stunning tutorial with the Gorgeous Chloe.

Now you'll know a least one look you can create!

I'm definitely gonna try this.

And here's one more, featured on the Sigma site.

And last but not least…the best news…I bought an extra one for you to add to my HUGE Christmas Giveaway! 

SO excited!

Hope you guys love it as much as I do!

.

Oh & Don't Forget…

This...

And this one too…

I already have the "Find Your Sexy" one all boxed up & ready to ship to one of you, Gorgeous Girls!

Just a couple more days to enter!

Have a beautiful night, Dolls.

I Love & Appreciate you!

Sweet Dreams,

"Find Your Sexy" Giveaway!

Ok Beauties…this one's for you!

This is for reaching 350+ Followers/Friends, kind of for Thanksgiving too, because I'm running out of time to host a whole separate one (insane) & because I love you, of course. 

.

It's so easy in life, especially as women…to get wrapped up in caring for others (Family, Friends, Kids, Spouses, Boyfriend/Girlfriends…) & forget to take the time for us. It's so important to feel as sexy & beautiful & confident…as possible! The better you feel…the happier you'll be! Ever notice how fast your mood can change when you put on a cute outfit, wear your favorite new make up, or get your nails done…every little bit counts! Of course the people you're with benefit too, but most importantly…happiness comes & starts from within! Here's to all of you, & "Finding Your Sexy"... Or keeping it. May you always feel as beautiful as you are! 

Here's How to Enter!

First & Foremost...

You must be a Follower of my Blog & not just a reader. He He. You have to click "Join This Site" & become an addition to the beautiful, smiling faces...on the left side of my blog! I know a lot of you are unsure as to why you have to "join this site" aka "follow", instead of just reading, but in the blogging world...the only way we gain creditability is by how many "documented" readers/followers we have. It's kinda like reading a magazine in line at the store, but never buying it! LOL! Hope that makes sense. Don't worry though...you won't be bombarded with emails/notifications, etc. In fact...you won't even receive one! So even if you're a guy & want to win any of my giveaways for a special someone in your life...you are more than welcome as well!
