My heart is sad and broken.


 
 I have no words to describe the sadness I am feeling.
My heart goes out to the families of all the victims of today's shooting.
God's strength be upon all the families of the lost ones and also for the ones who were there and saw this all happen.

Mellow Yellow.

This is what I wore on Tuesday, but decided to post it today cause on Tuesday I share with you what my daughter wore to school.
I had to wear a jacket with this one on the way to the grocery it was a chilly day for sure, it seems like the whole week it's going to be cold. I guess Mr. Cold came to stay. We have been lucky that November and the beginning of December has been very mild, with the high being 75. My rose bush was in bloom, and the daffodils at my next door neighbor were sprouting they must be so confused.
I found this Tunic while vacationing in Hawaii, I love that it is a bright color cause I tend to wear a lot of dark clothes in the winter. A hat came in handy because of the windy conditions.
Now it's time for a cup of tea have a great day.
 
 
tunic & leggings: F21
hat: Target
belt:TJMaxx
boots: DSW




handmade bracelets:)


Keeping it calm.


I constantly have to remind myself to keep myself calm and to smile more. The month of December is always a busy one I guess for most people, trying to get everything done, your house guest ready, baking, cooking, organizing,  entertaining, wrapping  gifts (which I am not pro at all) shopping and more shopping. I do not like shopping these days cause people tend to be so mean at times, they sigh when they are in line they give you an evil look,  not patient at all.

Last week  I order  a custom  bracelet during a craft show I wanted her to include on the tag my favorite word Smile so every time I look at my wrist I am reminded to smile whether it is at the stranger who is having a hard time in the long line at the cash register or just random people I see at the grocery store.

Speaking about  gift wrapping, I am looking forward to meet with other bloggers at the Container store tomorrow to do some wrapping I can't wait to share more  with you.
So smile...................................

What she wore: Oversized Dress Shirt.

Yesterday evening  my daughter was looking in my closet for something to wear or combine with what she already has.  She got distracted by my husband shirt, this is an old one, since we used to live in the Caribbean so it has to be 16 or 17 years old worn only once or twice cause he didn't like what I have bought him but felt bad to throw it away. Yes he told me this yesterday "thanks dear".
She decided to belt it and wore to school. I really love the look.

Time to Bake some Christmas goodies.

This past weekend I have been baking yummy treats to give to my friends. I got my inspirations in magazines, but mostly on Foodgawker. This was my first time baking, I like it but now all I need is a warm bath. I will be putting these in nice little baggies tied with a ribbon to give away.
I saw a nice recipe for an eggnog cookie that would take to much time so I am saving that to make next week or so.
