Silent Sunday

In the past few weeks, I have been having tattoo envy.

Probably because I recently got a new one myself.

Anyway, I have been looking for some ideas on new ones that I want to get at some point, but first I need to finish up the piece that I have planned for the rest of my back.

No, it is not something that is taking over my entire back, but it will be going up the right side of my back.

OK, on to the photos!



Since I am a nurse, I would really like to get this. I just don't know where yet.

Unfortunately, breast cancer took a family member about 3 years ago.

I want to get this in memory of Mayuri and to show my support of breast cancer research.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."

I really like this one, but my goodness, that spot would really smart hurt!

Some day I will get up the courage to do this one!

These last two are just so pretty! I love the spot on the inside of the wrist.

I don't think my hubby would be too keen on me getting all of the tattoos that I desperately want, but I think as long as they don't take over my entire body, he'd be okay with it.

Happy Veteran's Day!

For my husband who is a Veteran.

For all of our friends that are either active or retired military.

For all those men and women we don't know that are active or retired military.

For all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live in a free country!

Thank You!

Happy Veteran's Day!



“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.”

~Elmer Davis

“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”

~Mark Twain

“For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.”

~Former Georgia Senator and Governor Zell Miller

“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day (now know as Veteran's Day) will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service, and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us, and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.”

~Woodrow Wilson

Thursday Pinterest's

Lately, I have been somewhat anxious about my skin.
Not sure what the deal is, but I have started breaking out like a teenager!
Seriously, a woman of 33 my age, should not have to deal with "teenager" skin.

So I have been coveting researching different home remedies and not-so-home remedies for blemish-free and glowing skin.

Here are some of the things that I have found...
Oh, some really pretty make-up ideas too.


Homemade peel-off pore cleaner


Baking soda and orange juice mask


Apple Cider vinegar and Aspirin toner

Well, I was hoping to have a better list for you today, but Pinterest was being stubborn and kept giving me a "502 error." Whatever that is?!?

Anyway...
That's all for today.

**Check back soon, I am doing my first ever product review and giveaway.
If you like to scrapbook, but don't have the time to sit down and get everything out, this giveaway might just be right up your alley!**
