A Random Assortment of Things.

Thank you guys for your comments on my last post. You guys gave me the confidence-boost that I needed, which helped me feel like I really can do it. Knowing that I have great friends and family to help me along the way makes the journey much easier and enjoyable.

Well, I was fartin around getting ready for the day and decided to grace my pits with some deod (pronounced: dee-ode. We've always called it this in the Sikora family for some reason.) Deodorant has at times been a sore spot for me. My puberty-strucken body decided to go haywire in High School and I began to sweat like a faucet. This was obviously humiliating and I prayed to PLEASE take this curse away! And away it went! But the usual problems remained. What is a good deodorant that will help me not to sweat too bad and won't make me stinky when I do? I've gone through many. And I have found this one to be the best. Try it! (Even my husband uses it.)



Also, I wanted to share a cool idea! A few months ago, my husband and I took a vacation to San Antonio. There was an Anthropologie in a shopping center by where we were staying. I keep hearing hype about this store (which seemed way out of my price range and was too trendy for me- sorry but $75 dollars for a skirt "on sale" is just plain ridiculous). I walked in and didn't fall in love with their out of this world expensive clothing line...but I DID find myself obsessed with their home decorating section, whose prices were pretty awesome! I found these hooks and thought it would be fun to hang these above the stove with a mug. So that's just what I did!







The hooks were $8 and the mugs were $6. Not bad! We use our cups all the time and we don't have to go digging through the cupboards to find a clean cup. My husband told me the other day, "This was a good idea to put those mugs here!" so I thought maybe some of you would like to do it, too! I didn't end up putting them over the stove because they re-did the backsplash which consists of actual tile and grout. (It was easier to hang them over the sink). Anthropologie also had a ton of cute vintage doorknobs (some of them were $2!) and bath towel hooks. They have a plethora of affordable, cute things for the home with a lot of bright and fun colors. But in my opinion, you would have to go to an actual store because looking online, I found some not-so-cute things that were not-such-a-good-price. Have a good day!
