Finally a new light fixture

Our foyer entrance light fixture was an eye sore the moment I saw it before we bought the house. Its dated and GOLD and old. I never understood why the previous owners did not replace it because it did not go with their decor at all. The second worst thing about the fixture besides the aesthetics of it, was that it put out poor light. It was not bright and pretty at all.

Look how ugly this thing looks. Its was so dingy and bad in every way, shape and form. We replaced it with this beauty. I apologize that the images are sideways. They are uploading sideways. This new fixture is from Pottery Barn and we got it at a steal at more than 50% off because it was a floor model and because it was missing a few crystals. I do not mind the missing crystals. I can't tell unless I stare at it long enough to notice there are missing crystals.

It is so much brighter and really makes the foyer feel more welcoming. The picture above is taken during the day time and the picture below is at night. 

Current Favorites

1. Yoga. 

I took up yoga a few months ago and immediately fell in love with it. I have been taking Vinyasa style yoga which is  fast paced and all the movements flow and are synchronized to your breath. I always feel really good after every class and I can tell a difference in my posture and the way I function when I take a class compared to when I do not take a class. I would love to take it more frequently during the week but something always comes up and I only manage to find time on the weekend. I will try to go at least 2-3 a week in the next few months.










My preferred yoga mat thanks to the awesome Chris.  PrAna Yoga Mat




2. Tea

I have always been a fan of tea. We grew up having it for breakfast every morning. I kind of fell off the tea train and started drinking more coffee. Although I love coffee and all its glory for perking me up in the morning, I love tea more. I started having a cup of tea in the morning and a cup at night. I try to have one at work in lieu of coffee but I have not managed to stick with it. 2 cups a day is better than none!


3. Maybelline The Rocket Mascara

I have a love and hate relationship with this mascara. I have read great reviews and not so great reviews about the end results of this mascara. I have been using it for a month now and I still do not know how I feel about it overall. I have found it to be clumpy after  multiple coats. The formula is a bit drying and I find it to tug on my lashes because it dries so quickly. On the bright side it does give a substantial amount of volume and it does have good separation among the lashes. Would I say its my favorite? No. Would I repurchase this again in the future? Most likely not.
