I HeArT my K- PAK Flat Iron!

I know that my posts are few and far between, but my life is crazy right now. I just had to mention this little piece of heaven right here. I bought this K-PAK from my stylist about 2 weeks ago, and it's better than my C*i iron by a landslide. The secret is the bottle of vapor that you put in the iron. It totally reconstructs my hair and it gets it really straight with usually one pass. I have highlights and lowlights, and I use my flatiron everyday, so you can imagine that my hair is fried.....BUT, this helps tremendously! It's not cheap....Thankfully, my stylist gave me a discount. (It's around $175, but you may can find it cheaper.)

Here's a link with more info.... Let me know if you have one or buy one! It's really the best money you will spend for your hair.

My China Collections

I'm linking up to Kelly's "Show us your Life" China Edition this week. I have 2 sets of what I would call "good" china. I did not register for formal china when I got married because I knew that we would never use it. And so far, I have been right!
I love this Johnson Bros. Old Britain Castles pink china. It's actually red, but it's called pink. I registered for this when I got married. I had a red dining room back then, and I kept my dining room table set at all times. That was waaay before my 3 yr old came along! I loved it because they also make a holiday pattern with Christmas trees. I don't have any of those, but I may buy some eventually.

I bought a complete set of American Atelier Athena china the summer before I got married. I found it at a good price and fell in love with it, so I bought it. I also have the canisters, pitcher, and serving tray. I have been able to mix and match it with my other china and use it with so many different tablecloths and such. Last year I decided to take it out of storage and use it for my everyday china.

If you are getting married, I would suggest gettting a great neutral pattern like this one. You can dress it up or down.

Also I purchased my flatware at Overstock.com I bought a huge set instead of registering for place settings. It's heavy and has a fleur de lis on it. I haven't seen anymore, and I LOVE it! I chose it because it was French inspired, which matched the Athena china above.

Have a great weekend!

Wedding Time!

My inspiration

I've been traveling alot here lately and just don't have time to post. I'm also planning my sister's outdoor July wedding IN MY BACKYARD! She was supposed to get married in Orange Beach, AL, but due to the oil, it's not going to happen. So.....we moved to plan B, which is my backyard.

I'm just worried about 1) The HEAT! 2) The mosquitoes 3) Rain

Not too much to worry about, huh?!

It will be at sunset, we're getting a tent and I'm lighting tiki torches, so hopefully I will have my bases covered.

It's going to be a crazy couple of weeks!
