button my jar

What do you do with those extra buttons that accompany your freshly purchased garments ? i always keep them , you never know when you might need them. they've started to make a nice mountain in the corner of my closet, so i decided to park them in a mason jar. if you follow me on Pinterest you already know my love for mason jars. what do you do with your extra buttons  ? do you keep ? or not?

garden bliss

We made it to Friday ! TGIF! if you follow me on Instagram (@my_beatboutique) you already know i love my garden. my wish for our first home was to have a large garden with tomatoes, peppers, jalepanos, lettuce, spices etc. you name it. however in the 3 years we have lived here we always say "next year." well it's another year and my vegtables are still in pots , i kick myself now because when i bought my plants they were TINY and in a matter of weeks poof enormous and i wish i would have maybe done a DIY or taken pics of them as babies. next year. lol

Nine years later...

Today marks NINE years the hubby and i have been married. Not a day goes by that i don't thank my lucky stars for his love and friendship. noone has ever loved , supported or accepted me for me quite like my husband. he is the funniest man i know and i am blessed to have married my bestfriend.

happy

anniversary

hunny ! 

Love thy self...

I started watching The Conversation on LifeTime incase you haven't watched it you must- ladies that is. Amanda de Cadenet {photographer who also happens to be the wife of Nick Valensi of  The Strokes} interviews  gals such as Jane Fonda, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rita Wilson, Zoe Saldana just to name a few and asks them to speak about questions and concerns that women face at any age. I was hesitant at first -not really into the whole "girl power" movement however my curiosity got the best of me and i watched episode one and it spoke to me. Now on to why i am talking about this show and this ring----
Well every now and then us women have a tendency to forget about our needs and most importantly US as an individual. "I" gets lost in the everyday we live , either it's work , a family or being too busy to stop and take a breather for ourselves. So i decided to purchase this ring i saw on Etsy - Moodi Chic as a reminder for myself to remember the following :

I am important

My thoughts and feelings are important

What do I want

and more important LOVE MYSELF.

Just because...

i'm
