Bedrooms... Our Sanctuaries.
Your bedroom is your own personal space. It's where the most intimate parts of our lives happen. It is a home within our homes. A place to retreat to after a hard day. A place to be lazy and nap. It's where you start feeling better after being sick. It's where we lay our heads down to sleep at night. I love looking at pictures of bedrooms for decorating ideas. Here are some favorites I found tonight.

Tea Time!
Its my last day of rest before I go back to work. I really don't feel well still and have a hard time drinking cold fluids which I am supposed to be getting a lot of. I asked my boyfriend Chris to make a run to the pharmacy for more tea because I drank it all!
He came home with three boxes:
Sleepytime
Fruit Tea Sampler
Chamomile
The Sleepytime Tea is great for unwinding after work. I hate the feeling of exhaustion but not being tired. I hope that the Sleepytime Tea will remedy that feeling.
The Fruit Tea Sampler is pretty neat, full of types of tea. So far I tried the Peach and the Black Cherry!
I got a cute little surprise when I opened up the Camomile Tea Box!
The box cam with a cute little Tea Tin so I can carry Tea with me on the go!
What kinds of tea flavors and brands do you like?

My Birthday Presents!
Google
So I had a really great birthday this year! It just passed and lasted about 72 hours, first with friends and then with family! I thought I would give you a little picture update of the gifts that I received!
I missed out on a trip to Brazil with my family because I had to work. But my Aunt and my Grandparents brought me back some gifts!
1. Japanese geisha nesting dolls (how friggen cute right?!)
2. Gallo (rooster) dish cloth hanging on my stove
3. Some Brazilian seasoning for cooking
4. Some delicious smelling Brazilian soaps!
5. A Energy Charm Bracelet from Alex and Ani
You may remember this post from last month when my friend Peyton and I went to visit my grandparents and my grandmother made us Expresso! Well she remembered how much I enjoyed it and gave me an expresso maker for my birthday as well as some Brazilian grinds! The picture on the left shows my first Barista skilled cup! It is so yummy!
I am really excited about my new Expresso maker and all my new gifts! What was your favorite birthday present this year?

Dinner at Ruby Tuesdays
I didn't have to work on Tuesday so my boyfriend and I went out for an early dinner at my favorite restaurant! I had the Steak and Lobster tail! With parmesan sauce and asiago shredded cheese on my steak. It was so delicious! My birthday is coming up in 2 weeks and this is exactly what I want for my birthday dinner!

A Short Day In the Life: Last Friday!

I don't know about you but I have been a busy bee. My full time job serving and managing has me pulling extra shifts because one of the ladies is out on pregnancy leave. I am happy to stay that I managed to find time to go out and have some fun!
My friend Peyton and I went to lunch at Ron Daos, Fort Myers. It's a sports bar but they have some Portuguese cuisine on their menu! This is right up my cultural alley and reminds me of home cooking growing up!
We started with Shrimp and Garlic Knots!
Then moved on to Portugese Linguica Pizza!
After dinner we went to one of my favorite stores: Old Time Pottery! I dropped a little cash for my backyard. You might have read in recent posts that I am going to transform my bare backyard into a butterfly garden! Make sure you come back and check my progress!

Lastly Peyton and I stopped by my Grandparents house to visit with them and my aunt. I also stole some seeds and plants from the garden in their backyard! With permission of course! I am super excited to have all these different plants now. As well as seeds waiting to be planted! But there will be more on this later! All in all Friday was a relaxing fun-filled day!

Photo Collection: Nails I love!
Google
Somehow I went from doing my nails almost every other day to not doing them at all. They are plain right now. Plain, no polish, not even a clear strengthener. Maybe I work too much? I feel like I can't find time to focus on myself these days because I am too busy taking care of everyone else. My dad's dog needed a hair cut. My boyfriend's broken bones from his motorcycle accident. Working full time. These pictures remind me of all the time I used to have. Now I'm lucky to get a load of laundry done or pluck my eye brows. I just really hope that things go back to the way they were fast so I can do fun stuff like this again.
