Can't Get Enough!

It all started with a conversation I had with one of my very favorite neighbors (I ♥ you, Amy), & I have been hooked ever since! We were talking about our favorite shows & she brought up PLL. Now of course I've heard of it before, & have seen all these stunnas in my magazines, but until she brought it up…I had no idea what all the hype was about! Bobby was out of town, and I was home with a very bad headache, so I thought…what the heck! Off to the store I went! With a cart full of snacks & Season 1 in hand…it was about to be on! 

Season 1, turned into Season 2, & since Season 3 is not out on DVD yet…I watched every single episode on Amazon! Hey, don't judge. $1.99/episode is nothing to finally find out who "A" is! LOL! 

My name is Veronika & I am addicted to Pretty Little Liars!

The gorgeous guys & girls, their style (obsessed), the bond between friends, the suspense, my future baby's name (I am IN LOVE with the name Aria! No stealing!)…I just adore it all!!! 

I have no idea how far this will go, but I hope it's around for many more seasons!

So girls & guys (if B were home he would have loved it too! Maybe I'll watch it again with him!)…if you happen to have a rainy-day schedule when you live, or just wanna spend the day curled up & cozy…you have GOT to check this out! Be prepared though…if you scare easily…don't watch it at night...alone. I don't & I loved it, but I know not everyone is a freak like me!  

My Sister has all my copies now & hopefully she'll love it as much as I do!

And if you check it out…hopefully you will too!

I wanted to post a little preview, but they all give too much away!

Don't cheat & look/read ahead! Otherwise the fun is gone & you'll ruin the surprise!

It's gloomy here today & the perfect night for movie night & a fire! 

Just wish I had a few more episodes to watch!

It's ok though. 

Movies, Fire, Snacks, My B…is heaven…no matter what I'm watching!

Wishing all of you a cozy day/night!

And if it's hot as hades where you live…hope it's spent any way…with the people you love most!

Happy Saturday, Loves!

Enjoy.

Newest PLL Fan,

  

I Almost Wanted A Kid Yesterday.

Almost.

If you've seen this movie…I'm sure you can see why.

I am completely & utterly…in LOVE with this kid!

I mean…just look at his adorable little face!

I die.

If I could "create" my dream kid…just like this insanely sweet boy…I may or may not…try extra hard tonight! 

Not only is he the cutest thing…ever... this movie is too!

SUCH a feel good, pull at your heart strings, make you believe in the beauty of this world, family, inspirational…kind of movie. 

My Mama, Sister & I…all bawled our eyes out.

Don't judge. It's genetic.

But we couldn't have loved it more!

We ALL gave it 

Now I'm just trying to convince B to go see it with me!

He's always hesitant to see something new, but when he does…he always loves it, & I know he will love this one too! 

If you haven't seen it yet…I highly recommend it! 

Perfect feel good movie & if you happen to need your spirits lifted…GO NOW! 

I can't wait to see it again!

Hope you're having a wonderful week & that all is beautiful in your world…and in your hearts.
Thank you for being here & for letting me share mine…with all of you!

Have a beautiful night, my loves & don't forget to link-up with me for tomorrows "Friday Favorites",

In LOVE with a little boy named Timothy, 

"Friday Favorites"!



Happy "Friday Favorites", Beautiful Dolls & Guys!

I'm so excited to have you here with me & read all about your favorites!

If you missed my first post, explaining all about it...you can read it here.

"Friday Favorites" is day where you post all the things you're loving each week, such as...

Here are mine this week…

1. Favorite New Shorts!

Aren't they adorable?

I got mine from another one of my obsessions, Ideeli. Just like Hautelook, where they have insane deals every day & different products…every single day! So…if you want to check it out...here's the link for that, but of course this sale is over, but I found a site that has some of Black Orchid's products & if you just Google it…you'll find more as well! 

Here's where I saw some.

I just love the colors/prints, black studs on back, & even the tag is adorable!

LOVE the black resin orchid! And since Orchids are my very favorite flower…of course I think it's extra cute! 

AND…they're as soft as can be! 

LOVE them!

2. Favorite Healthy Snack! 

So I was playing on Amazon (surprise, surprise) & I came across these & let me just tell you…I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! 

Ok…so have you ever heard of/had these…

If you have & you like these…you will LOVE the Fruit Chia! IF…you don't mind seeds. If you're one of those people that hate seeds in your smoothies & stuff…you won't be a fan, but if you like them like me…you'll be in love! The taste JUST like "Fruit Leathers", but have WAY more "healthy-ness" to them!

Great snack to keep in your purse,  just in case starvation mode kicks in & you're car is turning into the nearest McDonalds! 

STOP. Take a deep breath. And pull out your bar!

You'll be happy you did.

Each bar contains only 155 calories.

I got mine here.

But you might wanna start small…just in case you don't like them.

Compared to these…

You'll be in absolute heaven!

I love you, Giuliana…but these are most definitely not…"AMAZEBALLS!" 

Anyone want a year's supply of chalk?

3. Favorite ETSY Find!

How freakin' adorable are these stamps!

And the font…I Die.

And the creator of these little masterpieces…as sweet & adorable as it gets!

I mean…a real sweetheart.

Her little notes, her packaging…love her!

I've bought 4 total so far & love them all the same.

These 2 & 2 address ones with 2 different fonts.

She has many to choose from & can create anything you wish! 

I have a few more ideas in the works right now!

Stop by & see her & if you see anything you love (which you will)…tell her I sent you! 

She'll be so excited!

Her name is Lindsey & here's her link! 

4. Fun New Site!

A fun little site that has all kinds of bedding, accessories & fun little "junks"! LOL!

PERFECT for someone in a dorm, or a grown ass woman like me! Ha Ha!

Who doesn't love fun little goodies!

These are the 2 things I bought!

This wall hanging...

And this adorable pouch! 

Big enough to fit IPAD's…or anything you wish!

Here's a deal if you find anything you like!

 Here's the link to play! 

5. Favorite New Make-Up Products!

Another one of my "treasures" found at Hautelook, but all are available all over the internet, so…search away! First stop…who guessed right? Amazon, of course. 

It's been back a few times on Hautelook already, so stay tuned & you just might find it again.

In fact…you know I stocked up, so I just might have to do a "Balm" Giveaway! Hay! LOL!

Everything is awesome & very pigmented, but I am loving the Highlight (MARY-LOU MANIZER) & the Bronzer (BETTY-LOU MANIZER)! 

6. BEST Air Freshener…EVER!!!

Ok so…I have no idea how Bobby discovered this (years ago), but let me just tell you…it's in all our cars & every where we go…people are like, "What is that smell?" 

Best smell…EVER!!!

Can't even begin to describe the scent. It's just the best smelling "clean" you can imagine & I  am in LOVE! The scent is called "Squash", but have NO IDEA why! NOTHING smells like Squash at all! Great for guys & girls. Not girly at all, but OMG…it smells good! 

TRUST ME…you will not be disappointed!

Oh & I can't believe I almost forgot to tell you…the scent lasts forever & is very strong! 

Excellent quality!

Again…only available…that I know of…on Amazon. 

Here's the link for that!

7. AMAZING Soda Replacement!

If you're like me & despise the taste of aspartame, or anything "diet" & are trying to give up Soda…these are about as good as it gets!

0 calories & perfect if you're over water for a minute & just need a little something.

I've tried all these flavors & I like & can tolerate them all! 

Sold at most grocery stores, but if you wanna stock up…don't trip…Amazon is where it's at! 

HOLLA!

.

And Lastly…

I've reached 250 Followers/Friends & that my Dolls…is most definitely a favorite! 

(HUGE SMILE)

Like I've said a million times before…hopefully that means I've touched…in a very small way…250 hearts!

I couldn't love or appreciate you all more & to show you…you bet your little butts I'll be posting a new Giveaway tomorrow..."Sun Kissed Doll", AND will also post my "Urban Decay Dreams" Giveaway later this week!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

A Happy, Grateful Girl,

Having Trouble Sleeping?

Simply Being - Guided Meditation for Relaxation and Presence

By Meditation Oasis

.

Ok Beauties...

This post is something I've been wanting to share with you for a while now, but was brought to light last night, by a comment my beautiful "K" wrote to me on my "Let It Go" post. (You can read it here if you missed it, & if you're interested, of course).

"You might be a bit of a psychic my friend... Just last night I was tossing and turning in bed over a wrong that some insignificant person dealt me. I had a glass of wine just to try and fall asleep to let it go. This blog is such spectacular timing, its a bit scary! Love you to pieces!!!!! K"

I would bet money that we've all had our sleepless nights, & I would also bet money that we'd all agree…nothing sucks more! LOL! Whether you're up thinking about a big decision ahead, a way to confront someone about something that's been bothering you, a huge argument you had with your man/woman, or something as simple as what you're gonna wear tomorrow (yes…I've had those nights. Don't judge), etc. THINKING SUCKS! Especially when…for the love of God…all you wanna do is sleep! Even more annoying…is when the person you're sleeping next to is out in 5 seconds flat, already snoring & drooling all over themselves, and there you sit. And even worse…when the reason you're awake is because of THEM! Really??? F ME! (Love you, Boo!) LMAO! And I will not sleep on the couch & give up my beauty sleep! No sleep + stiff neck/back =even more pissed! Ha Ha! 

So…without further adieu…I introduce to you…my savior! 

If you have an IPhone or IPad…you need this app! 

I have it on my phone & IPad & keep both right next to my bed…for all kinds of emergencies!

Also a must…headphones.

Plug those suckers in, click on this pink little face & off to dreamland you go! 

I kid you not…you will be OUT!

It'll shut off on it's own & you'll wake up, without even knowing how long it took you to fall asleep!

GENIUS!!!

I always set mine for 20 min & use "voice & music".

And the cherry on top…get ready…it's $0.99!

HOLLA AT YA GIRL!

Insomniacs…who do you love?
Imma pray this works for you too!

If you want all the details…here you go!

Customer Reviews

Would pay more! 

     

by Deadshot Jack

I used this app for the first time last night, and this morning I am almost in tears over how well it worked, especially given my level of skepticism. Like some of the other reviewers, I have suffered from insomnia all my life, and have learned to with it. My plan was to listen to this app for the 20 minutes, then switch to an ambient noise app I have. Well, I don't even remember removing my earphones, but when I woke up my IPad and earbuds were lying on the bed next to me! I woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the day, not groggy and feeling like I wanted to stay in bed like usual. Thank you so much guys, this app will definintely get recommended to friends!

I've been trying to meditate on and off for years. This has finally got me feeling like I've done it. Mary has the perfect pacing and tone for me. I particularly like how she doesn't proscribe a visual or even a breath....so I don't get that feeling of, "oh shoot. I'm out of sync".Also the benefit of meditation has been a great relief of anxiety. thanks.

Hope it helps you as much as it's helped me!
