Pink Decor...

Since I posted some Purple home decor inspiration,
I thought I would follow it up with some Pink as well!
I love PINK too but, it is a lot harder to ger away with...
My husband...well, he's not that into it! :)

Random Fact: Did you know that Honeysuckle Pink is the Pantone color of the year?
This is what is says about the color on the website... I kind of love it!
"A Color for All Seasons. Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day – with nothing “everyday” about it."

Aren't these pretty!....


I collect design photos that I find on random design blogs for future home ispiration...
This blog is a great way to keep them all together, hopefully you don't mind ;)  

PS- My favorite design blog is http://www.thedecorista.com/ 
Most if not all these pics were found there, check her out!

Hope you are all doing good!

Just Bitten

Okay, So Lately I have been thinking about switching this blog up a little? Not sure yet, we will see??? You have been warned!

So, This is me today, at my awesome yet usually boring desk job...and what's on my mind?
My new lip color, Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain in Gothic. AH-Mazing!
(sorry for the self portrait-kinda of embarrassing)
So, here is the story of why it is so Ah-Mazing (that is fun to say type)...
I have always been the girl that wore Red lipstick
even when it wasn't soooo cool in Jr. High...
(I LOVE that is popular right now, FUN!)
But, I have always had a problem with it "bleeding" and I have been in search of a magical non-bleeding trick forever! Nothing ever works, Nope not cover up or lip liner, Nothing (it's probably my lips)!

Enter Just Bitten (color: Gothic)
Ahahhh... Magic!
This stuff is awesome!
 I have tried the MAC stain before and didn't like it.. But, this one is perfect and lasts ALL day!
I mean through talking, eating, kissing, and sometimes even sleeping and (the best part) NO BLEEDING!
Also, it moisturizing... since one end is the stain and the other is a glossy chapstick!

I think I need all the colors now....
Next on my list is CRAVE-totally a Jenna Color, right?
(FYI- this is not my arm)


Oh man I am in for it!
I might have to get a BIGGER lip gloss/stick/stain (whatever) holder for my purse...
It already overflowing!

Have any of you tried it?
What did you think.???
(I heard the chapstick part can break, be careful)
Does your lipstick "bleed?" I swear I am alone here....
What are your favorite LipSticks???

Maybe- I will even post of pic of all of the of my favorites that I have in my purse right now...(it's a lot)

i HEART my valentine!

I really LOVE Valentine's Day, Always have...
This year is extra special since I got to spend it with my wonderful husband!
 The good new is...
I am lucky enough to be able to spend the rest of my Valentine's days with him!
He is my Forever Valentine!

My presents to Mike- (I couldn't find any red wrapping paper anywhere..oops)


 The Longest Rose Ever! - he gave this to me before our V-day date and asked me to be his Valentine!
 Top View, it really was the Longest and Prettiest rose ever!

Dinner at Cheesecake, and yes we are on the patio... Crazy but, Fun!
Then we went and saw, King's Speech! Awesome movie.. then back home to open presents, eat dessert, and be in Love! What a fun date!

Mike always gives me potted flowers as well! He says he doesn't like flowers that die! Too bad I have still killed 2 out of the 3 he has already given me! :( I have one orchid in my kitchen that is still living.. aparently these lilies are easier to keep alive (I hope)! :) They are stunning in real life (they are huge and smell amazing)

He also got me this purse, a down pillow, a Shih Tzu (my fav) calender, and some goodies!
I have the best husband!
He has amazing taste and is SO sweet to me!
 As for what was in my presents... well, that's a secret! :)
 I will tell you that he loved them though!

I can't wait to go home and spend "actual" Valentine's Day with him!
We have a night in planned, he is cooking of course and I CAN'T WAIT!
I Love Him!
Happy Valentine's Day!
-XOXO Jenna

Date Night 2/4/2011

So, Last Friday we drove up to Midway to see the Ice Castle and get hot chocolate. It was a fun date night!




These pics don't really do it justice... My iphone doesn't take very good low light/night pics. You should go check it out yourself! It is located in the main park in Midway.. it's hard to miss and cost 5 bucks!

After, we stopped in a local coffee shop for hot chocolate to warm us up! The shop was SO cute and fun! They had sorts of hats, glasses, and costumes to dress up with and the whole places was decorate w/ vintage car decor. Here are a few pics...



I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I am really looking forward to Valentines day! I CAN'T WAIT for my V-day date with my cute husband!

xoxo- Jenna
