Winter Blues: Quick Pick Me Up

{via}

Don't get me wrong, I love the holiday season.  It brings me much joy and happiness.  The cold and dreary grey skies can get to me now and again.  So here is a quick "pick-me-up" on those days where you have the Winter Blues:  the scent of oranges.  It is energizing and can quickly change your mood.  Start your day off by showering with {this} scrub.  Next spray some {orange scented fragrance} on.   And if it wears off during the day, keep a bottle of {orange scented lotion} in our desk at work or in your purse.  And remember, breather deeply.

Be sure to enter in the {$25 certificate giveaway} to my online vintage shop.  It's the last day!

Hot Air Balloon Salute

Photos by Moi.

Yesterday I watched in amazement as over 25 hot air balloons danced in the sky. 

In Provo, Utah every year there is a celebration called Freedom Days around the 4th of July.  For three straight days about 25 hot-air balloons take off at about seven in the morning.  You can go early to see them inflate.  This was the first year I attended.  It was magical.  I ran around in awe with my little brother.  I think I was acting more excited than he was.  I am sure I embarrassed him.  But aren't they lovely?

The Reason Men Put on Weight Once Married

Hubs: I have an idea that will make this sandwich better.  You can make us eggs.

Me: I don’t want an egg.  You can make an egg.

H: *Blank Stare*

M: You’ve made a fried egg before.  Right?

H: Who are you?

M: You haven’t made an egg!?

H: I did once.  I boiled one. You know how? I cracked it open into boiling water.  It didn’t go well.

M: *Raise Eyebrow* then a burst of laughter.
