Sunday Chat: In The Middle of It

So often when we are going through something, we are filled with fear and panic.  I hope that remembering all the times from long ago when we felt that way and how they turned out will help you through where you are now. I hope that the quotes below help someone.

Elle's Life for September 2014

The most amazing part of September was definitely the time we spent in Maui.  Absolute bliss.

When we returned to the mainland, we were immediately flooded with the whirlwind of work, and by Mother Nature

This is the greenbelt that you see behind me when I film

I was able to meet some girlfriends for a long overdue lunch.  We love going to this rotating sushi place.  

Mark calls it "fast food bait".  I call it "yum".   

I also met some girlfriends for Thai food (I forgot to take pictures) and had my favorite bookclub that is more laughter and fun than anything.

Dressed up for Date Night in black lace shorts and a sheer black blouse.

Our temperature is still 90 to 100 during the day but we are getting down into the 70's at night.  That means our pool is in the 80's which is beautiful during the day but too cool for my cold blood in the evening (yes, you can laugh at me!) The nice thing about lower evening temperatures is that we are enjoying sitting outside at night.  So beautiful.

I have made a fair amount of progress on knitting this scarf that I started in Maui.

It was definitely a full and wonderful month.

Please let me know if you like these "Elle's Life" blog posts.  I want your feedback!  If you don't like this post, tell me (I won't be offended) and if you do like them, what else you would like included. Thanks and I hope your month was as fabulous as month.

Arizona Meet Up

When: Thursday October 23rd @6 pm

Where: Chandler Fashion Mall in the Sephora

Who: Anyone who wants to come!

How: If you can’t find us, tweet us!

I hope you can make it as I would love to meet you! If you plan on attending, please let me know so we know how many to expect.

Sunday Chat: You have at least 3 options

Coastal Scents Hot Pots

If you aren’t familiar with Coastal Scents Hot Pots….you should be.  These eyeshadows are wonderful and, for .99 you will not find a better value.  I have a Z Palette full of these and will be ordering a few more to fill up another Z Palette.  I have no affiliation with Coastal Scents although for the # of their products that I own, I do think they should give me a share of their company lol.  I really do enjoy them so just had to share this sale with you.

Mary Kaye Discount Code

I got a bunch of fabulous samples sent to me by Deborah Wilson.  Unfortunately, I have so many products I am using up and in my B.U.S. that I haven't had a chance to use these samples yet.

Sunday Chat: Shoulds and Have Tos

I believe that the more you turn your 'shoulds' and 'have tos' into 'want tos' or eliminate them from your life, the more free and happy you will be.

When One Door Closes, Another Opens

We encounter the experiences we need in our lives. It's sometimes hard to believe that when we're grappling with disappointment, anger, or loss. Yet everything that comes our way is material for our growth.

September Ipsy Bag

This month’s Ipsy Bag theme is 'Street Style' and featured some of our fellow YTer's

Everything came in this hip silver faux leather bag that is a nice size

I got this Briogeo 'Don't Despair Repair Deep Conditioning Mask' that I am very excited to try. I will put this in my suitcase for traveling next weekend.

I got this NYX Hot Single Eyeshadow in Arrogance.  I love my other NYX Hot Singles but have enough other shadows in purple so think I will regift this.

Pacifica Natural Waterproof Eye Pencil I have more than enough eye pencils but, I like this color and that it is waterproof so, I am keeping this.

Crown Brush Shadow Crease Duet Brush I love the Crown Brushes that I won and absolutely love that this is dual ended.  Perfect for travel.

Hikari Lipstick in Cabernet tThis is the perfect shade for fall - a rich ruby berry color.

Again, I am very happy with what I got and thought it was more than worth the $10.  To like 4 out of the 5 items (and the 5th is only because of I have enough purple shadows otherwise the NYX shadow is great).  It is always fun to try new products and this definitely gets me doing that :-)

They do have some discount codes so if anyone wants me post those, let me know.
