When a Heart Breaks...

Today we will be celebrating JoAnn's life!

I was thinking about her the other day and a song I had never heard before came on Pandora and I thought it was a fitting song for how everyone is feeling about losing her.

"When A Heart Breaks"

I woke up this morning
And I heard the news
I know the pain of a heartbreak
I don't have answers
And neither do you
I know the pain of a heartbreak

This isn't easy
This isn't clear
And you don't need Jesus
Til you're here
Then confusion and the doubts you had
Up and walk away
They walk away
When a heart breaks

I heard the doctor
But what did he say
I knew I was fine about this time yesterday
I don't need answers
I just need some peace
I just need someone who could help me get some sleep
Who could help me get some sleep

This isn't easy
This isn't clear
And you don't need Jesus
Til you're here
Then confusion and the doubts you had
Up and walk away
They walk away
When a heart breaks
When a heart breaks
When a heart breaks
Oh, when a heart breaks

This isn't easy
This isn't clear
And you don't need Jesus
Til you're here
Then confusion and the doubts you had
Up and walk away
They walk away
When a heart breaks

lighting fixtures

I used pinterest for a lot of my inspiration for the new house.  This was a HUGE help for me when picking out lighting fixtures.  My husband, being the electrician, wanted to know exactly what lighting fixtures I wanted, and I had no idea.  So I headed to my pinterest boards to get inspiration, and then headed to the stores to start looking.  Here are some of my favorites...

 I LOVE the look of the black door and the pendant.  I already have my door but it still has to be painted and after a lot of looking I found the perfect light.  I wanted a square one like in the picture but was having a really hard time finding one.

my door

I wanted a door that would let a lot of light in, because there isn't a ton of light from the front of the house.  When the painter comes in, he will be painting the door black!  So excited for that!

I have always loved chandeliers.  My mom has a really pretty one hanging over her dining room table, so I wanted a chandelier for my dining room as well.  I wanted something like in the picture, but more simple because I have very simple taste.

And this is my absolute favorite.  I know these are all the rage right now and I'm not ashamed to say I followed this trend.  I probably wouldn't have, because these lights are very EXPENSIVE.  But, the lighting store close to home had a 50% off sale on everything in their store for the month of October.  I am so happy I jumped on this.  Can't wait to see my orb light hanging in my office.

 Yesterday I went and picked up two of the lighting fixtures for the new house!

My chandelier, which you can sort of see on top and the orb on the bottom.  I really wanted the orb in the picture above but it was WAY too expensive.  Instead, I found another one that was really beautiful too.

'L Bri order

Along time ago I used to wear 'L Bri often.  More recently I've been trying different things like Treskin RX, which I really like.  The good thing about 'L Bri is that all of their products use aloe, just like Treskin RX, and it's all natural, which I love.  I needed to reorder my FAVORITE lotion, and since 'L Bri offers free shipping on orders over $60, I figured I should find some other things that I need.  Here's what I ordered...

At the top is the Deep Pore Cleanser, this is their face wash for people with oily/acne prone or combination skin.  I have been slowly switching over to this to see how I like it and so far I really like it!  Haven't been noticing too many breakouts, or too oily of skin, so it's working pretty well.

The next product is my FAVORITE lotion, body butter in Cucumber.  I actually use this for my hands, more than anything.  I just LOVE how thick it is, and because the main ingredient is aloe, if you have any cuts on your hands, it is very soothing.  They also have a lotion that is meant for hands, and I love that too.  I just get the body butter because I can really make this last a whole year, whereas I go through the hand lotion much quicker.

The concealer I haven't tried yet.  I use their old concealer, which is the stick (like a lipstick almost) kind, and it works really well.  For some reason they don't carry the stick in any other color than dark.  LAME!  So I thought I would try this liquid concealer, but I probably won't use it until I run out of the other one.

The compact, I used to use when I got married about 2 years ago and I loved it, but with how expensive it was, I went through it too quickly to be able to afford it.  Now I don't wear as much makeup, so I know it will be worth it because it will last much longer.  I still love it!

The little packet is a sample of their face and body scrub.  I used to use it, but it is a little too harsh for my face.  I tried it again, and even though it still feels that way, my face was really smooth and soft after using it, so it did what it was supposed to do!  I might consider buying this or they have a different, more gentle, face exfoliant.
