Things My Grandma Told Me: Yard Sales

I LOVE yard sales, thrift stores, and flea markets. thanks to my mom and grandma. My grandma used to love to get us up super early on the weekends to hit up all of the yard sales in the neighborhood.  She could also haggle prices and get the best deals, like a pro. She knew just what to say to people to get them to lower their prices or even give things away for free! I'm serious. She had a lot of friends that worked at flea markets around town. We went practically every week and had the best time. Her favorite flea market even had a little bar with live music in it that she would take us too. It wasn't such a big deal back then to take your kiddos to the bar with you... We would go listen to music, my sister and I would sometimes dance on the stage when it was dead, and yes, we were allowed to. My grandma and mom would buy us some pumpkin bread and we'd shop around.  Best time ever. To this day, I am obsessed with going to these places. If we drive past...

Behind Closed Eyes: Kiss

This is from a few months ago I'm really starting to freak out with these "dreams" I'm having these days. I put it in quotation marks because these are more lucid than ever. I've never been the type to confuse a dream with reality, but these days... Before I mention the dream, let me start by saying, I have always  b elieved in ghosts and other paranormal things. I've seen and heard one too many things in my life to be a skeptic. Anyway, Yesterday my daughter and I were sitting on the living room floor playing, when a spatula in the kitchen fell onto the floor. Now I know that sounds like no big deal. The thing is- I had placed it on a level surface. It really shouldn't have fallen the way it did, but, it did. The baby and I jumped when it happened because it was so out of place. Then I went and cleaned up the mess. Shortly after that we heard some papers being thrown off the counter, but I could not find them. It was hit a loud sound of...

Summer Fashion from #pinkbasis

Do you guys remember me talking about Pinkbasis before? I've talked about their beautifully stylish dresses, shoes, accessories, swimwear, and costumes.  Best part about the site is that the prices are unbelievably low.  They also have amazing sales ALL THE TIME. I recently picked out a couple of dresses, as well as a nice little ring.  Check them out below Look at the cute stars on this denim button up dress. It also includes a belt. The sleeves are somewhat long, and it has a collar. It is fitted and pretty short. I like the material, the stars, and the style. This is the first dress I've worn, in this style, in years. I like the way it looks and I can myself wearing occasionally in the spring, but probabl ... y more likely in the fall, since the material is thick and the sleeves aren't short.    Purchase this Sexy Denim Star Print Quarter Sleeve Dress I really like this skater dress. I think that the lace is so pretty, ...

#Circo Mini GPS Tracker

As a mother of two, I always like to know exactly where my kiddos are. At all times.  I've heard of people using GPS tracker apps on their kids' phones, but I don't plan on buying my children a phone anytime soon.  That's where this new product comes into play. Check out the  # circo  GPS tracker, which is great for parents who want to make sure their kids are in a safe place, pet owners who want to keep track of their fur babies, keep track of an elderly relative, your spouse, your keys..... it's small enough to fit into a bag, backpack, purse, pocket, or attach to your keychain.  There is also an SOS feature for emergencies!

Download the free app (instructions on the product box), and keep track of any of the above.  It also comes with a charging cord and small tool for removing SIM card and pre...

Things My Grandma Told Me: Presents

My grandma was the type of person who didn't like to wait to open gifts. If you gave her a gift early, for instance, for Christmas, she refused to wait till the day of. She was eager, like a little kid, and would rip right through the wrapping paper.  Also, my grandma would always tell you right away if it was something she actually wanted or liked. Okay, well, she was usually a little easier on us kids, but... I remember making her something in school. It was so long ago. It was a card that I made in class.  She smiled and thanked me for it and I was so relieved that she liked it. The next day, I caught her throwing it in the trash! When I asked her about it, she told me, she no longer needed it, which was why she was tossing it.  It hurt my feelings a bit, but I didn't cry, and I told myself that next time I'd just have to get her something better. As I got older, I learned that for gifts, she sure loved fresh flowers, porcelain dolls, jewelry,...

Behind Closed Eyes- Abduction

This is actually from a while ago. I kept forgetting to post it, but here it is: Slept, had a nightmare of a woman with no eyes in sockets watching me. Creepy. So then, I woke up at 3 am, couldn’t sleep, so I put on chakra binaural beats. Could feel it working very well. Never felt my base chakra open like that. Helped soothe me dramatically until I fell asleep. I was in a barn with some people. There was a big field. I was drawn to it. I told one of the people to come with me. The sky had strange clouds. We were pulled up into the sky slowly. I could feel it all. I felt like I was awake and it was very real.  I was in a room with greys (aliens). I was kind of scared, but I think they calmed me. I was hovering and nude. They turned me over. It was kind of like a hospital set up. Big eyes, peach beige skin, very skinny fingers and nails. I think they poked me with  something. I can’t remember where. The grey was trying to comfort me. Spoke telepathically. I was...

May Bookcase from #Bookcase.club

So, I really liked the books that were in the last box, especially the one by Francesca Lia Block. Here is what I received in this month's box: Shadow Falls After Dark: Reborn by C. C. Hunter Synopsis Enter Shadow Falls: After Dark  and meet a vampire named Della, who's about to discover what her own story is meant to be. . . .

She takes refuge at Shadow Falls, a camp for teens with paranormal powers. It's where she and her best friends, Kylie and Miranda, heal their heartbreak with laughter, and where Della is training to be a paranormal investigator-and she refuses to be distracted. That means there's no time for romance with Steve, a gorgeous shapeshifter whose kisses melt her heart. When a new vampire named Chase shows up at camp, Della's world is thrown into even more chaos. Arrogant and annoyingly sexy, ...
