Ok, Ladies were getting Dr. Phil real about How to combat under eye wrinkles and dark circles. The skin under our eyes is very fragile and as we age it seems to be the first part of our face to change. I have always struggled with dark circles. It seems to be something that runs in the family. Even my nieces who are 12 & 14 have this problem!

I’m 30 now so I suppose it’s time to get real with that fact that I’m going to be fighting aging skin for the rest of my life… Ugh! Sigh! So let’s talk about something that has me a HUGE difference in my under eye wrinkle & dark circles. It’s a pricey little guy, but totally worth every penny; because a little goes a long way.

Stri Vectin SD eye Concentrate for wrinkles. Now on the Birchbox shops.

This stuff is AMAZING! I have noticed a HUGE difference in the way that my under eye skin has changed. It’s more plump than ever, my fine lines are almost non existent, and my dark circles have lightened dramatically! Yay!

Let’s talk about the science behind this little jewel. A patented molecule called NIA-114+ promotes production of collagen and elastin, thus reducing the appearance of crow’s feet and the dreaded dark circles.

Overall this is a HOLY GRAIL product. Like I said before it’s pricey, but you get what you pay for when it comes to skin care. To learn more about Stri Vectin -SD eye Concentrate for Wrinkles, and Birchbox go HERE.

xo, Tawny!

Well, we had quite the eventful start to our weekend! Breanna had been complaining of a stomach ache for about 3 days. Which was nothing new, she ALWAYS says her stomach hurts, or she doesn’t feel good. Normally she says it hurts before bed, or if I ask her to clean her room. She’s 7. She will pull anything to try and sleep with her mama (Yes, they still sleep with us) or get out of cleaning. Sigh.

Friday we had a birthday party to go to so I gave them a bath, and as soon as Breanna got out she started complaining of stomach pain. I asked if she was ok, and she said she thought so.

I continued to get ready. I was blow drying my hair, and I heard yelling. It was Breanna in my room. I went in to check on her and she was curled up in the fetal position yelling out in pain saying it was her right side. The first thing that came to mind was her Appendix . I called the doctor, and they said to watch her, and if the pain got any worse got to the ER. The pain seemed to go away for about 45 minutes, but came back stronger than ever. Off to the ER we went.

We got to the ER and they got her back pretty quick. The doctor can in and examined her and said, “I want to do some blood work and a CT scan, because when I push on that right side her muscles and tensing up like they are protecting something.” I immediately felt the tears welling up in my eyes. I was so scared, the thought of her going under for surgery made me stroke!

They started the IV which was her first ever IV, and much to my surprise she didn’t cry or flinch! I was so proud of her, and so was the nurse.

Soon after she got her IV she had to drink this solution that had dye in it so they could see her organs when they did the CT scan. About and hour later she was off the get her CT scan.

She thought this was the coolest thing she had ever done! She got done and said, “That was fun mama!” Thank GOD everything was fine. Her appendix looked normal. The doctor did say that they saw a TON of POOP in there. Really??? All of this because she is constipated. I do have to say that she had been pooping. We went home with a prescription of Miralax. By Saturday she was good to go! Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers on Facebook and Instagram.

With moving into a new home comes the need (or want) for new decor. Right?. I thought so. We all know that moving can be very costly. With the moving costs, new decor, and not to mention all of the little things you find along the way to buy.

I knew I wanted a new rug for my living room, but I didn’t wan to spend a lot of money, and I didn’t want anything traditional. I just so happened to stumble upon RugsUSA.

I was amazed by the the selection of gorgeous rugs. I went back and fourth on what I wanted. Then I did some more browsing on their website. I knew, I had found “the one” It was the beauty RugsUSA Home Value Chevron Black Rug

I’m still in LOVE! I get so many complements and So many people have asked, “I have to know where you got that rug.”

I reached out to RugsUSA, and they agreed to work with me! I was super excited to work with them. They have been so kind and patient with me as I took forever to write my post because of our move. I actually received my rug back in December, but I wanted to write my post once we were in the new house.

Here it is!

I LOVE it! After I received my order confirmation I received my rug in 4 days! I know! That was the quickest online shipment I had ever received. I am super impressed with the quality of my rug, for the price it sells for.

I am currently looking for for a rug to put in my dining room under my kitchen table. What do you think of one of these?

I can believe I will be a long time customer of RugsUSA. If your in the market for a rug you should check RugsUSA out first. They also have a HUGE Spring Sale 50-80% off + FREE SHIPPING going on RIGHT NOW.

I’m a super excited to announce that Disney Pixar Finding Nemo has announced the squeal Disney Pixar Finding Dory!!! This is one of out family’s favorite Disney Pixar movies of all time.

We took a family vacation to Disney World a few years ago, and out of all the rides at Disney World the Finding Nemo ride was our favorite!

I know you want to know the details well here they are!

When Dory said “just keep swimming” in 2003’s Oscar®-winning film “Finding Nemo,” she could not have imagined what was in store for her (not that she could remember). Ellen DeGeneres, voice of the friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish, revealed details today about Disney•Pixar’s “Finding Dory”—an all-new big-screen adventure diving into theaters on Nov. 25, 2015.

“I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time,” said DeGeneres. “I’m not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating ‘Toy Story 16.’ But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It’s got a lot of heart, it’s really funny, and the best part is—it’s got a lot more Dory.”

Director and Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton takes audiences back to the extraordinary underwater world created in the original film. “There is no Dory without Ellen,” said Stanton. “She won the hearts of moviegoers all over the world—not to mention our team here at Pixar. One thing we couldn’t stop thinking about was why she was all alone in the ocean on the day she met Marlin. In ‘Finding Dory,’ she will be reunited with her loved ones, learning a few things about the meaning of family along the way.”

According to Stanton, “Finding Dory” takes place about a year after the first film, and features returning favorites Marlin, Nemo and the Tank Gang, among others. Set in part along the California coastline, the story also welcomes a host of new characters, including a few who will prove to be a very important part of Dory’s life.

“Finding Nemo” won the 2003 Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature; the film was nominated for three additional Oscars® (Best Writing, Original Screenplay; Best Music, Original Score; Best Sound Editing). It was also nominated for a Golden Globe® Award for Best Motion Picture–Comedy or Musical. In 2008, the American Film Institute named “Finding Nemo” among the top 10 greatest animated films ever made. At the time of its release, “Finding Nemo” was the highest grossing G-rated movie of all time. It’s currently the fourth highest grossing animated film worldwide. The film has more than 16 million Likes on Facebook, and Dory—with more than 24 million—is the most Liked individual character from a Disney or Disney•Pixar film.

DeGeneres’ distinctive comic voice has resonated with audiences from her first stand-up comedy appearances through her work today on television, in film and in the literary world. Her syndicated talk show, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” is in its 10th season and has earned 38 Daytime Emmy® Awards. DeGeneres has won 12 People’s Choice Awards and the Teen Choice Award for Choice Comedian for three consecutive years. Additionally, her show won two Genesis Awards and a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Talk Show Episode. For her unforgettable turn as Dory, DeGeneres was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Best Comedic Performance.

Sounds really good, right?
