I'm back...and how!

Hello everyone! I know it has been ages and I have so much to tell you! All summer I was staying with family in Michigan while I worked at a quilt shop doing my internship and finishing up my MBA. The summer was long and crazy and wonderful!

So here is a list of my favorite summer memories:
1. Staying with family when they needs me most.
2. Working with amazing women in a fantastic quilt shop.
3. Church and my relationship with Jesus!
4. Watching others grow.
5. Discovering Downton Abbey.
6. My sister got a puppy!
7. Letters from friends.
8. The excitement of new product in the shop.
9. Finishing my MBA!
10. Getting a job!
11. Getting an iPad?!
12. Craft show failure.

I know! A ton of things, wonderful things happened in my life and I cannot wait to tell you about them all. I think for the next 12 days, I will write a post about each of the things on the list - one item per day!

Havertys

How do you make your house a home? I love putting little touches here and there, but furniture goes a long way toward making a place livable! Speaking of furniture have you ever been to a Havertys: Discover Something You
? We have one here in Indy in the Castelton area. Anyway! Havertys has a really cool program called Inspiration Sessions going on this fall. Once a month, through December they are having events where you can come in and learn how to create a new type of space in your home. And the events have cool names too! Like for September (the 15th) they are hosting "Now Showing." Can you guess what kind of even that is? It is about designing your entertainment space or your home theater. October 13th is Seasonal Scapes all about Holiday design. Then November 10th is Winter Colors which is about incorporating winter colors in to your interior designs. The last event is December 1st and is about putting the finishing touches on a room and finally completing it.
I love this idea! Don't you? You can change a room just by putting different accessories in it - you can totally change the feel of a place and make it into a comfortable happy space. Here are some of my favorite pieces from Havertys:


They also have great ideas about making your family room transformable so that you can have a home theater too!

If you are considering changing your living space, moving, or just want to change some things go to Havertys and see what they can do for you! 

Awesomeness in the Mail!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Revlon for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I got the coolest package in the mail the other day! It was full of cool Revlon products and was part of the Revlon Expression Experiment!

Inside the box there was lipstick, nail polish,makeup primer, and eye shadow. How did I get such a great surprise? Well, I was selected to be part of the Revlon Expression Experiment!

As a part of this cool experiment I was given some great products to test in an effort to help me express myself.
One of the great things that I got was some orange nail polish! And it is so great!! I mean, how fun is orange nail polish?

I mean really! Orange nail polish?! How awesome is that? I just think that Revlon has a very cool way of empowering us girls to be ourselves through such things as nail polish!
You can join in the fun of the Revlon Expression Experiment too by using the Facebook app!
So what do you think? How would you like to express yourself? Leave your thoughts in the comments!
I wish I could post more pictures, but my camera battery died! Ugh! I hate that!!
Well, have fun experimenting with expressing yourself. I tell you it is so much fun!!
