BLACK AND PINK FOR A FUN COLOR COMBINATION

Are you a gardener? I “used” to be flower gardener, not a vegetable gardener. I would plan where I was going to plant the flowers so that they could have blooms throughout the entire garden and they would bloom at different times through the year. I went through hundreds of magazines and I would plan and plan and plan. Then, I would spend all day long with my rear stuck up in the air weeding and mulching and planting. Lol!
However, when I went to Tennessee last weekend I ended up doing some gardening but not the fun kind. My mom and dad have a large shelter that has lots of table, chairs, a grill, etc. We haven’t used the shelter since the Eclipse party (see here) that we had last year. We had planned on having a cookout after Matti’s recital last weekend. The problem was that the shelter needed to be cleaned and the weeds had taken over. Mom got to work on cleaning the furniture and dad started cleaning the grill and that left me to do the weedeating. I HATE weedeating!!! I called Joe and told him that I had done this and he couldn’t believe that! He wanted proof like a video. Lol! After I had almost got all of the weeds cut down my brother shows up and says ” I could probably take care of the worst of that with the lawnmower.” What the heck????? Now he tells me that! Bright pink is one of my favorite colors. This blazer/jacket is really old but it is still one that I wear often. It is velvet so maybe it is already too hot for some of you but those who are in the cooler areas might like a little added warmth. I am not even sure where this blazer came from since it is soooo old.

Wouldn’t you know that none of today’s Plunder jewelry is still available? I loved the Sam earrings and I really wish they were still available. ? May is my 2nd year anniversary with Plunder and I am celebrating all month long. When you make a 50.00 purchase (excluding taxes and shipping) you will receive a FREE piece of jewelry from me as a gift! Go to plunderdesign.com/taniastephens and hit the shop tab. Pick a party with my name on it and then have fun. I love the lattice style shoe. I normally struggle with shoes that go around your ankle and I feel like they cut my leg off. However, I guess that it is because of the lattice opening but these don’t seem to do that to me. I think everyone needs a pair of black heels to wear with dresses, etc. and you might as well make them cute and sexy. Lol!

Here is the back view of my little black dress. This is a swing dress that I bought from Old Navy last year and I still wear it a lot. It looks great with a blazer, it looks great by itself and with sandals, and it looks cute as can be with jeans or leggings. Talk about versatile!!! When my daughter went to the dermatologists for help with scaring that acne had left they did laser treatments on her. She was left with little dots where each scar was located. I asked why! They said when your skin is put in “distress” that it heals itself by sending collegian which plumps the area.

That is what this little tool does. It signals mild distress and your body sends collegian to the area. This only takes a minute to use. This can be used on your face, your neck, and even your stomach. Basically, any area that you want to achieve firmer skin.
