Get This.

This is the best $7 I have spent in a while.  And, it will definitely be great for the upcoming dry, winter months.

While on the topic of showering, I also recommend brushing your teeth in the shower.  It saves times and somehow leaves you feeling even cleaner.  (Note:  Please brush your teeth out of the shower as well.   I brush like 6 times a day.  Also, get yourself a little plastic 2 minute timer.  You'll be surprised at how long 2 minutes actually is!)

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Top 10 Reasons I LOVE my Dad:

Guess what I got?

If anyone knows how the heck to use this thing please let me know!

London.

I'll be calling this place home for the first 4 months of next year!  I'm SO excited.  

(P.S.  I'm totally gonna watch Spice World like a million times before I go and make sure I visit all the places in the movie.  Luxury.)

I wonder if Alex could play drums for Jesus?

Oh how I miss Californ-i-a already.  When I am a rich orthodontist I will live there for sure.  We got a lot done in the week we were there.  If I had a private plane I would go down every weekend.  So here's what we did:

Leave it to Camille to find the 'Bentley-Rolls Royce' golf cart at the Swap Meet.  

Haydan practiced her driving skills.  Note her new purse.  I saw it and it matched her room so I got it for her.  Now, she takes it with her everywhere she goes.  Inside she has:  a wallet with $8.25, pink lipgloss, and a digital camera.  I've taught her well.

Gavin is a Rockstar.  'I will say...'

Mr. Kid

Haydan and Bronte had a sleep-over.  In the morning we had a doughnie party and many pics were taken.

Camille really needed to put her feet in the water so we went down to Seal Beach.

After the Swap we went down to Huntington Beach.

We ate at 'El Ranchito' not to be confused with 'Mi Ranchito' here in Orem.

Shacklin and I went to Disneyland one day.  She 'signed me in'.  That's a perk for having a sister that works at Disneyland.

This young man didn't let the fact that he wasn't wearing any pants get in the way of helping his grandfather bring the trash cans in.

Poor Camille LaVona only got to stay for the first weekend.  I was so sad, because I love my 'little' Camilley.

Gavin Basker discovered the art of the self-portrait and always asked to have my camera.  I have like 50 of these pics and they all look the same.  What a funny lil' fella.

Bernic let Camille pull out her first loose tooth.  She wasn't even afraid.

This fine young gentleman spent the majority of the trip being 'over to me'.

Of course, there were many a photo shoot.

Jacqueline came down to attend the 'Mouse-cars', which is like the Oscars for Disneyland.  I was very surprised that she didn't win employee of the year.  She did however look very x-exy in this hot little number.  I did her make up, luckily.

One day X-tina and I went to the library in Cabazon to 'read for the blind'.  Little did we know that there happened to be an outlet mall there with a Dooney & Bourke store.  We were so surprised.  Luckily we both had our Amex's and so we were able to make some great purchases!

(I already had this purse, but I just bought the matching wallet.)

Haydan Olivia finally wiggled her upper laterals out.

A 'luxury' palm tree.

Don't ask.

Gavin Basker and I took a leiserly nap in the backyard on Sunday afternoon.

Saturday was 'Purple day'.  All of us ended up wearing purple accidentally.  Bronte may have been dressed up like a 'little British girl', accent and all.

We had such a good trip!  I am so sad to be home.  I miss my daily life coaching sessions and my nurse Florence Nightingale.  Hopefully I'll be back soon!

It's Official!

So, I got my diploma in the mail today.  I immediately ran down to the bookstore to buy a luxury frame for it.  I really considered hanging it in the entry of the house, but thought that might be a little much.  It is now hanging in my room so I can see it everyday.  I blurred out my last name for security purposes.  Haha.  It's amazing that a simple piece of cardboard paper can make me feel so good about myself.  OH, and please note the extra "Cum Laude" sticker.  That means with Honors.  Highly luxury.  hahahaha.

I have the black lung.

Unfortunately I got sick during the last 2 days of my Cali adventure. I have been coughing up a storm today and had a church holiday. I have a lot to blog about, but no energy to do it. So, you'll have to wait until tomorrow. In the mean time, KK has now ventured out into modeling. You can view the glam shots here. And, then just click on all of the different sections. KK is SO x-exy.

Fancy Nancy

Yesterday morning while getting ready for school Bronte had a meltdown. She was upset because she said she did not look beautiful. She was wearing pink leggings, a jean skirt, a cute pink sweater and a PLAIN white t-shirt. She was devastated because the t-shirt didn't have any designs on it. How very unluxury. The girl just needs to be fancy, and the this t-shirt was clearly NOT fancy. Poor Bernic.

Oh Most Definitely.

I loved Karl Malone back in the day.  But, this, is really funny.  

Also watch this:

So...

I'm off to Cali bright and early in the a.m. for a week of relaxation and life coaching.  I couldn't decide which of these songs was more appropriate so I decided to put them both up!  I'll try to update while I'm gone but I'm not promising.  I might be very busy...

Remembering.

I truly can't believe it has been 7 years.  I will never forget...

Dear L.C.:

These two things were purchased today at the boutique.  I'll see you in the morning!  Let's have beauty night tomorrow night!

Love,

D

Thank you Matt!

I always knew I liked this guy.  I echo his sentiments exactly.

Per Your Request

Dear L.C.
Here is the picture of my new sweater and shoes.  I hope that I am complying so that I will not be fired as one of you clients.  I think that we need to go to our fav little boutique on Friday afternoon.  
Love,

D

And Jenn Jenn,

The green thing is 'Be Delicious' parfume by DKNY.  It's very fancy.

These are a few of my favorite things.

Clean, green, and X-tina approved.

Just the song, "Make You Feel My Love".

Adele also has a good version here.

It really does calm me down and help me sleep.

Put it on before you blow-dry to avoid those pesky 'fly-aways'.

A great wake-up call in the a.m.

This is so yummy.  And, just a few spritz' makes your room smell great for hours.

How could I not love this?  Pink. Cotton Candy.  Lip gloss.

It smells like a lovely Fall day.

My new fav thing from our friends at Costco.

Energy for when I wake up at 5 a.m.

Stress relief lotion.  Yeah, it's luxury.

What post would be complete without my all time favorite thing?
