Likes for the Moment

This is just a little collection post of what I am liking right now that can be purchased. I of course will always like/love my family, God, food and such.. but this is stuff you have to put money to. 


Lululemon has some amazing workout/lounge clothes. I have actually bought more items then I should have via this site.. but I am hooked. My favorite items is this.. 

Press on nails by imPress have become a favorite of mine lately.... 

Jolly Ranchers are big hit too because I am sick of blow pops, and lemon heads to keep the nausea down. 

I am a huge fan of this tote...  

and last but not least.. my boss sent me a gift for the end of the school year asking me back next year, hoping my illness allows it...and I love it.. It is a beautiful necklace and I want to share it with you guys.. 

All of these photos of course are not mine.. links to where these photos can be found are attached to the image.. click for more information. 

Have a great day! 

Bracelets Beat Brain Cancer

Hey ya'll!

My name is Rachel and I blog over here at  Mafamilledetrois.

I hope all you lovely readers are having a fabulous Wednesday.

 I only came across Olivia's blog a few weeks ago, and ever since I cant stop reading. She holds a special place in my heart, thoughts and my prayers. The Lord has placed it on my heart to do something for Olivia. Through talking with her we have agreed on a way for me to do so. 

I make these brass hex nut bracelets and sell them in my etsy store along with other things.

From now on half of all proceeds I make from the bracelets will go to Olivia to help with her treatment and or anything she may need for recovery. Bracelets are $10 each with a flat rate of $3 for shipping.

{I would like everyone to know that I will not be making a profit off of the sale of bracelets, only enough to buy the product to produce more bracelets and ship orders out.}

I can also make the bracelets in silver instead of brass is you would like.

{Bracelets are 8in with a loop knot and a brass hex nut to latch. If you need a different size please note when ordering}

To order bracelets, in support of Olivia, please email me directly at Rachenichols11.12@gmail.com

I accept paypal. 

Let's help Olivia kick this cancer in the butt!

Rituals

Rituals....?

We all have them... 

From some important pen we write our best papers with. 

panties we wear knowing we will get a good date at the club... 

well maybe those two sound more like lucky items... Either way they are part of a ritual you have... 

Feel free to share any you have with me! 

But back to why I chose this topic....

Having this cancer has led me to do things in a ritualistic manner on the day of any doctor’s appointment or treatment day. These rituals help keep things more calm.. help me to be more calm. With these rituals I have power to control at least something in my day… considering it isn’t very often at all that the hostess of cancer gets control. So what is my ritual you ask… I will be delighted to share it with you.

• I get up bright and early… we are talking like 5 am.
• I take a shower.
• I brush my teeth while in the shower, floss and use mouth wash once I am out…
• Get dressed.
• Put on makeup. I know it sounds odd putting on makeup for a thing such as this… a friend recently told me that she applies makeup before her appointments because that way she will not cry… I cry no matter what.
• My last and final task is putting on a pair of RED high heels. Yes high heels… and yes they must be RED. Que Kelly Pickler now.. I am ok with that… Red heels bring out my inner kick ass girl…

So I need them to get me through all my cancer issues.. with confidence, and the thought that I will kick cancers ass.

Well now you know my ritual.. Im off to make cancer my bitch today..

Love you guys! 

Hello

Hello everyone!

I have decided that after countless hours of blogging that I have new readers and that I need to get with some basic introductions now.

For those of you who do not know me, I am a 24 year old girl born and raised in Augusta Georgia! I'm a dawg cheering, sorority supporting, church attending, music loving, and a University of Georgia graduate! I am in love with all things southern, vintage, sweet smelling, and black and red. I am so blessed to have a great family and amazing friends! Since finding out I have cancer I’ve also developed a passion for living life to the fullest.

Few more things to know about Me

I love reading romance novels.

I have a huge obsession with cupcakes.

I have to sleep with the fan on, no matter what the weather is like.

I hate driving.

I have a superhero addiction.

I sell Mary Kay.

I have been out of college for 3 years now, and life has thrown me some punches. I can attest to life being a little difficult after college and trying to find your way is never easy. I have never felt so out of sorts as I do right now. Cancer struck me my first year out of college, and I don’t want to sound cheesy but I am glad it waited to hit when it did. The illness is not an easy one, and each day I wake up wondering what next.

I got married right after 1 year of graduate school, and lord I thought I was giving it my best and my all. But life loves throwing you curve balls, and what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger right? ..

Topics I promise to write about … (any suggestions email me)

 I cannot wait for all of you to dive right into all my posts on my life, thoughts, and tips for you gorgeous ladies, but for now, I am going to call it a wrap, and a successful 2^nd introduction post!
