One of my favorite sites {<a href="http://JustLove.lyThings/">JustLove.lyThings</a>} has a Mani Monday link up party that I have finally taken the chance to link up to. No, I don't know what has taken me so long!</div>

I recently pinned this to my <a href="http://pinterest.com/dinah_29inheels/aloha/">Aloha board</a> and is where I got my inspiration for this weeks design. </div>

Is "Buy a pair of pink skinnies? on my <a href="http://29inheels.blogspot.com/p/life-list.html">life list</a>? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well it should've been.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Awhile ago I <a href="http://pinterest.com/dinah_29inheels/fashion-sense/">pinned</a> some super cute pink skinnies on <a href="http://pinterest.com/dinah_29inheels/fashion-sense/">Pinterest</a> and commented…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I'm not brave enough to wear pink pants."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But look what I did!</div>

Almost everyones asks me how I do my nails. And to tell you the truth most of it is done with a toothpick, a nail art pen and some help from Mr. I don't have any fancy schmancy tools and I really try not to spend a lot of time on it. It's just something fun that adds color to my normally dull outfits. </div>

Polka Dots are super easy! You can use just about anything you have laying around your house; toothpicks, cut off the end of a q-tip, pencil, pen…the list is endless. Polka dots are also really easy to do on both hands.</div>

Lines…Not as easy as polka dots (especially on your right hand…Mr to the rescue) but still something that makes it look like you put a lot of time into it. I've tried a lot of different nail pens and Sally Hansen has won my heart. They work great! Now if only I could get them to make a grey pen.</div>

Probably the easiest of all…And they have lasted for-ev-ah!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought some really fine glitter at Target, put on a bass coat, poured on the glitter, shook of the extra and sealed it with a clear top coat. You should see the way these piggies sparkle in the sun!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Because let's face it…</div><div style="text-align: center;">I need some ROCKIN' songs when I'm trying to rock my abs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And yes when I just can't do another reverse crunch or sit up</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just move to the music!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Farmers Markets.<br />
Why have I not visited you more?<br />
The sweet smell of fresh produce<br />
and all your yummy samples for Tre to get his hands on.<br />
<br />
I don't know how it happened but I had TWO Saturdays off<br />
in a row! That's basically unheard of!<br />
So I took advantage and went to our local Farmers Market<br />
BOTH Saturdays. <br />
<br />
Tre couldn't keep his hands out of the raspberries. <br />
It was super cute.<br />
<br />

The following Saturday my sister-in-law and I went and loaded up our bags with freshness.<br />
<br />

That night dinner was a most scrumptious Salad filled with<br />
Cucumber,<br />
Pepper and<br />
Avocado,<br />
Sugar Dot Corn on the cob and<br />
Brown Sugar Bourbon Chicken.<br />

And boy do I need it! I don't know what it is but every time I go shopping I come home with NOTHING! I just can't seem to get into the oversized shirts that are off the shoulder and up past your belly button. Then again I have to admit that I haven't been fair at giving some new trends a chance. And to top it all off I'm not in a city that has a wide variety or good selection of stores. Blah.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Enter… Portland, OR</div><div style="text-align: center;">Enter…Forever 21</div><div style="text-align: center;">Enter…H&M</div><div style="text-align: center;">Enter…STYLE!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our little family took a weekend trip to Portland recently and I was so excited to do some shopping! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I walked around the first store a couple times and picked up 2 really boring shirts. I couldn't believe it! I wasn't finding anything! Then I told myself to step out of my boring black and white wardrobe and try something totally different. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I went to the dressing room with two armfuls of colorful shirts and new pieces…including skinny jeans (no they aren't the newest thing but I have never even tried them!). Mr was SO SUPRISED when he came back to see my outfit…He loved it! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's a work in progress but I'm loving the new colors and pieces that I've tried. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm not a creator, I'm a copier. I love doing all the tutorials I come across in blogland but coming up with one of my own was out of the picture! But then it happened...I got asked to be a part of a surprise birthday party for a friend and I just went crazy! The theme: 90s Dance Club. And of course I'm a picture freak so I needed something fun for pictures. So as I'm making this I realize..."I just came up with something all on my own!" And I was so proud of myself. Yay! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You want to make a frame for your stencil so when you spray paint you're not getting the paint everywhere.

Specifically marriage relationships. I've had a lot of opportunities lately to chat with friends about marriage, observe couples in love, observe couples that are struggling, observe relationships that are suffering and relationships that are fighting to win. It's troubling to see so many marriages that end in heartache and separation. And it's exciting to see marriages that have made it through thick and thin! 40 years! Holding hands in the park!</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mom and Dad celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary this year! Looking back my parents were never really "open" with us about their relationship...but they didn't have to be because we all saw it in their actions. Dad was always so patient and kind. Mom supported Dad in everything he did. They held hands all the time and we could always catch them sneaking a kiss in the kitchen. And when they were apart they would call every night and not want to be the first to hang up the phone. They are like two teenagers in love!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Nude and a very light pink is what I've worn for the <u>longest</u> time. I feel like my nails are bigger than other peoples so putting color on them just makes them look humongous! <br />
<br />
Maybe that's just me. <br />
<br />
But I've decided to be brave…and so far I've LOVED it! <br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Check out the bright and lovely colors I've picked out to wear this summer! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqOtbaMZVkdW0qac_F1LcfbqMeTK-6EviROikoVofnM3nYG32TCJlzutTs3UqfSPteR97_lyJh7WydY2mHe3wBvjAkUxI0EMyaM317G0Sg1dw_JaqyEbTPoUP48m2XVq1whUk_tIj3sMtx/s1600/NailPolish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqOtbaMZVkdW0qac_F1LcfbqMeTK-6EviROikoVofnM3nYG32TCJlzutTs3UqfSPteR97_lyJh7WydY2mHe3wBvjAkUxI0EMyaM317G0Sg1dw_JaqyEbTPoUP48m2XVq1whUk_tIj3sMtx/s400/NailPolish.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I'm a cheap nail polish buyer. That way I can get a ton of colors for the price of one bottle of other brands. And of course I bought them from Target!<br />
<br />
I've tried all the colors already and surprisingly I really like all of them! <br />
The Tangerine might be my favorite.<br />
<br />
The pictures fuzzy but oh well. <br />
I keep my nails really short when I put a color on them<br />

</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So I came across this </span><a href="http://www.lottieanddoof.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">AMAZING</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> blog while following</span><br />

</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These recipes are all so mouth watering and tempting. And at first glance a little intimidating. But then I came across the </span><a href="http://www.lottieanddoof.com/2009/04/chocolate-caramel-tart/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Chocolate Caramel Tart</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> and could not resist. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First thing I do whenever I'm making something new and there are terms and ingredients that I've never heard of....Call my sweet mother! Have a baking question? Ask my mom...she knows it all! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So after I found out what "blind baking" and "creme fraiche" were I headed to the store and got started. And guess what!?! It really wasn't that hard! I mean this is a recipe you could really impress your friends with.</span><br />
