Faves



Summer Faves Head to Toe


Hair ~ conditioning with the tube that comes in the hair color box (I seem to have lots of those little tubes...wonder why?)


Face ~ enjoying wearing just mascara and lip gloss


Neck ~ adoring my pendant from a recycled skateboard (here on the blue side)


~adoring my husband, too~

Heart ~ loving my family "Forever 5"


Summer wardrobe ~ finding lots of great buys at local thrift stores (some new with tags)
favorite "thrift"purchase so far...White House Black Market white shorts ($2.50)

~skateboard pendant on the gray side here~

Daily (almost) destination ~ sunning on and running on SandKey Beach


Workout ~ running barefoot on beach is a great workout and pedicure, too!

Shredding with Jillian


Bible ~ reading 5 Psalms and a Proverb


Prayer Book ~ perusing The Valley of Vision (a collection of Puritan prayers)


"Let me find thy light in my darkness,

thy life in my death,

thy joy in my sorrow,

thy grace in my sin,

thy riches in my poverty

thy glory in my valley."


Projects ~ creating, writing, organizing

Eating ~ preparing this salad: spinach, pickled beets, crumbled goat cheese, red onion rings, sea salt and ranch dressing
poaching this dish from my friend Jen: black bean & corn salsa


Florida's official footwear ~ skipping around in the flip flops my daughter got me for Mother's Day

  4. I think you look wonderful and I love how you always find such good sales at thrift shops, (is it because you are so tiny)

    You look so good Mel and to be able to write and enjoy your favorites is wonderful progress.
    Keep moving forward sweetie.....:-) Hugs

  5. Great list of favorites! I also save the tubes of conditioner that come with haircolor to use on my hair. Before using the straightening iron, I dab a little on my hands and run it through my dry hair. It cuts down on the frizzies throughout the day.

    Please remember my husband, Clarence in your prayers. He fell yesterday off of a step (ONE STEP) and broke his hip...had surgery last night...is in horriffic pain today and not happy about going to a rehab facility after his hospital stay.
    Wish it were as warm here as it is there. I still have not worn flip flops...too cold!

  12. Love "the valley of vision"... I keep it on my nightstand. I don't do flip flops, though. They hurt my toes! And the skateboard pendant... well, who can say enough about that... I know it is precious to your heart and keeps you intricately connected to your boy.

    As it should be.
