Beautiful People

So I created a list of all the women I think are beautiful, apparently randomly lol.






Scarlet Johansen represents the casual sexiness of a typical american female. Her facial features are so great: beautiful cheek bones, great nose shape, and perfect luscious lips. Arg the envy haha.






Do we have to mention her perfect body shape? She has some meat on her bones, but I think her proportion knows where to put it! Talk about great great body shape...



Kim Kardashian is pretty much the exact same body type with the same facial features. She is like the darkenend dusky version hehe.




Anne Hathaway is my next pick. Her facial features are also rather prominant, but I think she has more of a light friendly look to her. I do love the dark dark hair and porcelain skin!!

If I could have any features I definitely would want dark dark curls with green eyes and porcelain skin.






Finalement, Natalie Portman! Ok, not your typical but she is so cute! She is just a natural wonderful beauty. Very ethereal I guess.

Snow!!!

I have been waiting for this, for several years now. It snowed!! The entire day yesterday! From morning to midnight, large real snowflakes drifted down over everything. It was so beautiful. This first picture is from my patio that morning, and the following was this morning once the snow storm had left.




Look at the difference in the snow loading all the tree branches!!
















We actually hit the record for the most snowfall in one day EVER in Dallas. We hit more than 8 inches I know so far.

Before last night, the pathway to my car from my apartment looked like this.....:

This morning when I left for work bright and early, this is what it looked like. I literally had to dig myself out! I still think it was awesome though!!!!

Since I had to work today, I am hoping nothing much melts today so that tomorrow I can enjoy all the white beauty.

Campground Sites

After hunting online endlessly for campground sites within driving distance of my apartment, and feeling almost hopeless of finding anything remotely appealing, I finally stumbled upon a perfect website that had everything I needed to find the best places!!


This first site is Caddo Lake State Park, the only natural lake in Texas. I really like not only that there are trees everywhere (not the usual ones I lvoe but at this point I am not greedy) but that it has a lake! There are canoe and paddle boat rentals as well so I plan on exploring the lake thoroughly the weekend that I go. I can't wait for the weather to warm up!!

This next one is quite close to the other: Martin Creek Lake State Park. The most exciting thing about this site is that theres actually an island on the lake connected by a bridge to the mainland. The island has tent camp sites so I am looking forward so much to that! So much fun! And of course there are boat rentals here as well....

This last place is actually west of Dallas rather than east, and the vegetation shows this. The great thing about Lake Mineral Wells State Park though is Penitentiary Hollow Trail. Its a perfect site for rock climbers and rappelers and such, but can be hiked as well. Who doesn't love feeling like a kid again climbing all sorts of rocks?? There is also a great biking trail too, so yet another plan.

Oh how I can't wait for the warmer weather to set in... although its snowing at this very moment outside right now which is pretty awesome. I need snow boots hehe.

White Wine Spritzer

For one of the rare times, I again drank at home hehe. I had my last bottle of wine left, a white zinfandel, and for the superbowl I decided to celebrate in style!



The dried flowers I use on the tray are actually roses from a wedding last summer that dried beautifully. They were a pale pale pink and turned into a beautiful creamy yellow with a dark rose edge to the petals.

For my great tasting bubbly beverage, I combined 3 measures of the white wine with 2 measures gingerale. I loved the combination. I think next time I might try a Sprite just to see if that added sugar changes the overall taste.

I was just happy to enjoy an alcoholic beverage for once at home hehe.

I did do some research though and found out I can purchase the vodka and gin and other liquers at a store 4 minutes away from where I live as well though, so I am looking forward to trying out some of the other cocktails I have in my recipe book.

Really, I just want to know how to make a good selection for parties, as well as know what I like. I am well stocked on lemon and lime juice for sure...






Doesn't the drink just look pretty?? So shiny!

Coffee Set

I finally found the perfect creamer sugar bowl set! Right after christmas I found this great teapot at Target for $7.00, but no matter where I looked I couldn't find the right creamer and sugar bowl for it. I don't drink tea... ever... so I decided to use it for coffee instead because I frankly live off that and would love serving lattes and such to guests as well with my oh so suave barista skills lol!




Then, on a shopping whim, about a month ago I decided to muddle on over to Marshalls and Ross again just to see what I could find. Even though I didnt find these at Marshalls, I DID fall upon these two rectangular trays that are the exact design I want for all my serving ware! They are so perfect for appetizers or other small things so I was really happy about that, and they were only $5.00 as apposed to $10-$15 at Target and Walmart. So happy!!

THEN, I went to Ross and found the creamer and sugar bowl!! Along with these though, I also found a great butterdish, gravy boat, and pitcher in the same exact style! Now all I need are the perfect salt n pepper shakers..... I bought the butterdish, pitcher, gravy boat, creamer, and sugar bowls all for $15.00. Can you believe it?! So exciting.

Everything goes together so well!!! I love it when that happens hehe. And I am pretty much in love with the whole all white cermamic look, so when I finally am able to have a great server ware set (Target won't know what hit it hehe) I so want to throw a great party just to show it all off.
