So earlier this week I noticed that many of my friends on facebook had changed their profile pictures to celebrities. Little to my knowledge it is "Doppelgänger Week," which apparently means that you're supposed to change your profile to a picture of the celebrity that you have been told you resemble the most. This made me think... "WHO DO I LOOK LIKE?" I honestly had no clue. I love to hear how different the opinions of others are too! I had to ask my roommates and this is what they came up with:
Valentine's day is right around the corner, and I am alwayslooking for sweet little ways to show those around me how much I love them. I stumbled upon a few creative and inexpensive goodies that are sure to make your loved ones feel warm and fuzzy.
This is so simple, and how fun that the candy bags are personalized.
I think my preschoolers would love to see pictures of themselves on the outside of a candy bag!
For the decorator in all of us.
I can see these hanging from wooden coat hooks in a hallway. What an easy way to spread Valentine cheer throughout your home.
For the child inside all of us.
These flower petal/heart lollipop treats are divine. They would look so cute bunched together with some fun ribbon or raffia. I like that they are not the cliche bouquet of roses too.
For the riddler.
The play on words makes truly makes these DIY crafts so charming. Anyone who gives a gift like this will have a very happy recipient.
To warm someone on the inside and outside.
Something as simple as cutting out hearts, adding a special note and placing them on someones favorite tea is just so thoughtful. I love that this is so unexpected, but so very meaningful.
I think I may dig out some of my crafting supplies and get to work now. The way this year is flying by, Valentine's day will be here tomorrow!
So many of you know I have a sister that is 11 years my junior, and today was the day she got her braces taken off. YAY! I don't think she could have been more excited. she literally told me, "I didn't want to wait until after school, that is too long to wait!" As a 13 year old this is huge, and I had to share with all of you how adorable she looks now... Even though she was a doll with them too.
Congrats Ali!
I was lucky enough to never have to have braces, but for those of you out there who did have them...wow you have to go through a lot of pain. Thank goodness its all worth it in the end.
I keep seeing rain in the forecast for the Portland area, which is only typical for this time of year, however it is not really raining! When it is sunny like it is today, that means my class of preschoolers gets to run around at the park...YAY! There is nothing like being inside for 10 hours with rambunctious 3 year olds. Not that I am complaining about the lack of rain, but I do really enjoy curling up inside on a rainy Northwest day.
Yesterday however was an extremely wet day, so I took advantage of the crummy weather and put on my snuggly clothes. I also decided that I wanted to see what all the fuss was about Grey Gardens, the HBO movie. Here is the trailer so you can have a sneak peek!
Two of my roomies and I gathered around with blankets in tow and settled in to enjoy the show, and boy did we enjoy it. I was a bit unsure because I knew it was a remake of an old documentary. Now don't get me wrong I enjoy some documentaries, but they have to be really interesting or I get bored easily...hehe. This movie kept me captivated the entire time. I can see why Drew Barrymore is winning so many awards for her role as Edie, she was simply made to play this role.
After we watched the entire movie, we looked on our netflicks queue and began watching the original, and wow...Drew nailed the accent on the head, it was pretty much unreal. If anyone has been wanting to see this film, take the leap and do it, you won't regret it! My only regret was not having popcorn while I watched :)
All of the fabulous dresses and red carpets can only mean one thing... that AWARD SEASON is upon us! After watching two shows already ( parts of the Golden Globes and the SAG awards) I am loving so many of the dresses, and not to mention the shows that are nominated for awards too. These are a few of the dresses I can't seem to forget...because I love love love them :)
Makes me proud to be a Courtney... however I am kinda partial to the way I spell it ;) sorry Courteney!
She can rock this dress so well. I love the elegant yet dare devil-ish side.
Another flawless moment from our friendjen.
This is too chic. I am obsessed with Glee and Lea Michele just happens to be my favorite, so of course I love this dress!
Loved the splash of color, since it seemed that black was the color of the night.
Hands down Sooki takes the best dressed...Anna looks stunning...could not have been a more divine decision! Kudos :)
Toodles for now!
Don't worry there will be SAG award photos too my loves!
Too many times we all make resolutions we obviously won't be keeping, however I am bound to keep a few this year. One of my goals is to blog more, which is for some reason a task for me. I have all these ideas that would make for great blogging material, yet I seem to have a hard time getting it together. So here is my official pact to all of you...I WILL BLOG MORE IN 2010 :)
So here is to a new year, a new outlook and new fabulous things! CHEERS :)
XOXO~Courtney
P.S. I am on my short lunch break so I will be sure and blog this evening...stay tuned;)
