christmas bulb garland, candle holders and cookie baking | hello holidays!

Holiday decorating, cookie making and present wrapping is here! Finally. I get really into the Christmas mood every year. I plead guilty to listening to Christmas music for months on end and decorating my apartment way to early.

This year I put up my tree in mid November (which is early) and I am still adding last minute touches to it. Along with my Christmas tree I have put up bulb garlands, Christmas colored candle holders, and hung stockings. My apartment is so small that I don't have much space to work with so I had to narrow my decorations down to my favorites. My boyfriend on the other hand is not a fan of all the holiday clutter. It puts me in the holiday mindset but he thinks it is to much clutter. But he will have to deal with it :) Christmas is my fav.

boots, boots, Sorell boots

Do you have all your Winter wear basics? Tomorrow marks the first day of December, aka it's officially winter. Although we haven't gotten any snow where I live, it is getting chilly out. However, I'm not one to complain about the lack of snow. I do love snow but I don't love having to deal with the roads, traffic and going out in the cold.

But, one great thing about snow, or Winter for that matter, is the excuse to wear cute boots like these. These Sorel boots are perfect for frolicking around in the snow or just for cute. Yes they are practical and heavy duty but also super adorable. If you have to go out in the Winter wonderland why not go in style?

Read About Tungsten Carbide And You'll Be Sold

My husband and I have been married for ten years now, and we wanted to renew our vows very soon. Doing this we definitely wanted to get new wedding rings. I started looking around for the perfect rings because our first ones didn't seem to do as well as well we thought they would. We were young and didn't have as much money as we would have liked. This time we wanted to get wedding rings that would last a life time while staying beautiful. I am not really familiar with wedding jewelry or just jewelry for that matter, so I needed to do some research and get some reviews. We picked what we wanted and by far after reading about tungsten carbide we have definitely made our decision on that. They are permanently polished and lasts a life time. It is such a precious metal and needs little to no maintenance which is just what we want. I cannot wait to renew our vows and relive one of the best days of our lives and make so many more memories. 

Shocking Black Mens Titanium Rings

I decided to get this gorgeous black mens titanium ring for me and my husband's anniversary. I don't think I have ever bought him any jewelry the whole time we were married to be truthful. He hardly wears anything except for his wedding ring. When I saw this ring, I just thought it was really unique, simple, and different.

When I showed it to him, he was shocked. I think he really likes it, and so far he has worn it out a few times. I don't expect him to wear it all the time, but it's nice to see that he likes it and he wears it. I'm thinking on finding him a new wedding ring to wear. He got me one last year, it was like an upgrade. So, possibly, something like this could happen again in the future. I really liked all of the pieces I've seen when I found this one, so maybe I could find something for him again.

Custom Designed Rings

To be honest I though shopping for my engagement ring was going to be... painful. Now not painful physically, but metaphorically. I mean I figured choosing one ring for me to wear forever would be easy, afraid not, it was a scary decision! I saw so many I fell in love with. My fiance saw how hard this decision was for me that he suggested I just make my own. So we went a made a custom designed ring, just for me! I finally incorporated all the ideas into one perfect ring. Now I have absoultely zero worries that I made the perfect choice in my wedding ring.

Prom Hair Ideas!!

So with prom coming up I bought my prom dress already and now i'm looking for the finishing touches. My shoes are already picked out now all I've got to is incorporate all of those looks into my prom hair... if that's possible.

I figured my dress is a sweet heart sleveless dress, so I had to get an up-do. I was looking for more of the natural wavy look. My dress is kind of fitted so I had to keep the hair laid back. I was looking up prom hair styles and found this one. It's absolutely perfect! I love how the front is kind of plain to keep the attention on my necklace I'll be wearing. The back is kind of a messy bun and I love the ides of putting a jeweled barret in the back. I keeps the back of my hair exciting. With this hair style I'll be styling from head to toe!!

Nat King Cole: Unforgettable

Everyone's valentines day playlist needs to have the father of romantic blues. Playing his music while cooking valentines day foods can really get you into the mood. Also Nat's voice will just give you that extra swag to really make your valentine feel loved.

I always play Nat King Cole: Unforgettable when I'm getting ready for a date or just playing music. I love how his music can go to anything. This time though I'm playing it for my valentines day supper with the boyfriend. I was going to go with maybe Billie Holiday, but I thought my man Nat could really pull through this time! Another good point is, playing classics is a really good ice breaker. I mean there's nothing better than listening to the soulful voice of Nat King Cole. His lyrics make you realize what you love so much about your valentine, and really make you love them more!
