Top 2 Things You've Learned About Relationships

1. Learn to give and receive apologies.
Relationships are very difficult and people inevitably disappoint one another. I have learned the importance of saying I'm sorry when I'm guilty and have realized the signifance of forgiving my husband when he makes a mistake.

2. Remember the Golden Rule.
Throughout life, in any type of relationship, the Golden Rule offers the best advice......Treat others the way you want to be treated. Respect everyone and demand respect for yourself.

Strange Addictions

1. JERSEY SHORE

I classify my obsession with the Jersey Shore as a very strange addiction. I am actually embarassed to tell the people at work how much I truly love the show. I just can't help myself!

2. THE SNOOZE BUTTON

If you ask my husband what he hates the most about me, he will always tell you how my obsession with the snooze button irritates the life out of him. My alarm clock is very loud because nothing less than a train horn can wake me from my sleep. I set the alarm for at least 1 hour before I have to get up, then proceed to repeatedly hit the snooze button until I actually HAVE to get up. Every morning, Robby screams, "If you hit the snooze one more time, then I am going to throw your alarm clock against the wall. Get out of the ----- bed!" That's how we start everyday!

TOP 2 TUESDAY

TOP 2 FAVORITE HAIR PRODUCTS

1. Pureology Hydrate Shampoo

http://www.pureology.com/

I love all the Pureology shampoos, but this is my favorite. It leaves your hair feeling so light and clean. There is no build up with the Pureology shampoos so your hair never feels heavy, dull or weighed down.

2. Pureology InCharge

I love this hairspray because it holds your hair in place, but still feels soft.

I really love ALL the Pureology products, but these are my top 2.



Top 2 Tuesday....Favorite things about Fall

Favorite Things About Fall

1. One of my favorite things about Fall in Kentucky is the beautiful scenery. Throughout October and November, the hills of Eastern Kentucky become covered with the most breathtaking hues of Autumn color. It is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world.  

2. I love the Fall holidays of Halloween and Thanksgiving. Halloween is just so much fun. I love the haunted houses, scary movies, costumes, and CANDY! I also love Thanksgiving because you have the opportunity to visit with family without the stress and cost you have to endure at Christmas.

TOP 2 TUESDAY--INDULGENCES

BIGGEST INDULGENCES

Believe it or not, I am a very frugal person when considering most expenses, but there are a few splurges I can't resist....

1. WRINKLE CREAM

Robby tells me I believe anything, no matter how ridiculous! After I hit 30, I really began to stress over the ever-increasing abundance of wrinkles that seem to be overcoming my eyes. I have tried almost every facial system or wrinkle cream--no matter how expensive. I have decided my favorite skin care regimen is the Nu-Derm system by Obagi (mainly because it includes Retin-A in the regimen). The only downfalls with the system are the cost and the fact it has to be prescribed by a physician. You cannot order the complete system online, which makes purchasing the products a time-consuming inconvenience. I am also a supporter of The Eye Concentrate by La Mer. Robby says I am crazy to spend so much on an eye cream, but it lasts  4-5 months and really seems to work. I usually save all my loose change and I use that money to purchase my wrinkle cream every few months.......I don't feel as guilty about making the purchase when I use my left-over change.

                                                  

2. VACATION

My other indulgence is VACATION! I love the beach and we try to visit a different island in the Caribbean every year for our anniversary. We consider the annual trip as our anniversary present to each other.

#1:  THE HILLS

I just want to live like them for a little while! Their lives seem to be way more interesting and         

luxurious than mine. However, I don't know if I could spend 5 minutes in a room with Spencer Pratt!

#2: BIG BROTHER

I love Big Brother. I cannot wait for each new season to begin. I wish there was a Summer & Winter series. Once per year is just too long to wait!

I would definitely love to be cast for the show, but I am sure I would be eliminated in the first round!

Top 2 Tuesday-Guilty Pleasures

TOP TWO GUILTY PLEASURES

1. CHEAP WINE

        Don't get me wrong. I love a nice, expensive bottle of wine, but I also adore inexpensive wines (I'm a girl on a budget!). One of my favorites is Yellow Tail Riesling. It is delicious and perfect with appetizers, a light meal, dessert, or all by itself! Best of all, it is very inexpensive and can be found almost anywhere.

2. MURDER, SHE WROTE

        My husband is hiding his head in shame as I write this, but I have to admit that I love and often watch reruns of Murder, She Wrote. Please don't laugh out loud!
