sometimes we pull hair

but MOST of the time we like to let the air fill our skirts & laugh. around our house we do a lot of laughing & this is why i love my sisters. i thought these pictures were priceless xoxo

it's practically nothing

4 months from today spencer will walk

down those elevator stairs & on to the

map on the floor of the SLC airport.

4 months from today the last 2 years

will feel like just a strange dream

and for a moment i imagine that all

time will stand still as i see my best

friend, & imagine that all this anxiety

will fade away true love will conquer all!

(no i'm not planning on a kiss for at least a couple of weeks but

i'm just sayin you know after he's set apart i can imagine us

running towards each other in slow motion embracing with a big

huge kiss on the CHEEK right? who am i kidding its gonna be

just as wierd for me as it is for him, not kissing for 2 years

will definitely make it feel like a first kiss all over again, can't wait)

this lady and i have one thing in common

we're both very happy owner's of NEW bernina 230 sewing machines

i googled bernina 230 for a picture for this post and came

across this gem boat and her new machine.

who couldn't be completely stoked after realizing that

you have the same taste as this little adorable lady?

for those of you who didn't read the previous post

about buying a sewing machine i'm gonna clue you in.

buying a sewing machine is not a walk in the park,

in fact this little lady probably started "shopping" around

for the perfect machine when she was my age, for real.

i have gone through 3 sewing machines before i landed

this sweet deal, after 39 1/2 hours of bargaining this deal

and a few tears later, i signed my soul to nuttall's and

purchased a new bernina 230 pe sewing machine.

here's to grandma and her crooked fingers

CHEERS!!!

big purchase

so, i orginally purchased a sweet sewing machine

from target, got home and with further research

returned it.

then i went on recommendation from my mom

to nuttall's and bought another sweet machine

then returned it.

because, alli decided to get one and talked me

into the "cooler" one with a croc stitch

we're so excited, and definitely spent our

budgets for the next 6 1/2 years, so worth it.

i have big dreams for my sewing career

i can't wait

(the machine pictured above is the machine i ended up with)

lucky

where did he come from?

heaven, straight from heaven.

favorite thing he said on mother's day

oh wait- i don't have a favorite

it was perfect his broken english and all.

how did i luck out so hard?

mothers

i know this picture is refering to war

but war refers to life.

everytime i see this photo i think of one

woman

my mom kim p redd who

can do it.

whatever it is.

happy mother's day to all!

(mine was extraordinary)

you know i love some good make up

and i have to tell you about this little package of

goodness. l'oreal double extends beauty tubes

mascara.

it's the illest.

i've been known to spend a few bones on makeup

i love channel, mac, and really all expensive makeup

i've been using a mascara that bed head puts out called

"wigged out" i've really liked it, until one day

i got a call from my best friend colton elliott.

he says "olivia, i've been watching tv and i just saw

a commercial about a new masacara that i think you

would love. l'oreal double extends beauty tubes."

i laughed, & i think you probably did too after reading

this, we were best friends we talked about things like

mascara and beauty and such.

my other tube of mascara still had a little life in it

so i didn't take his advice until last week.

i bought l'oreal double extends beauty tubes mascara

and haven't gone a day without wearing it since!

it's amazing it's like a 50 dollar tube that costs

a whole whopping 8 dollars at kmart! i actually got

asked if my lashes were fake, and you know us redd's

we don't have that greatest of eyelashes and this

product is well worth a trip down to the local drug store

and the entire 8 dollars! now i just need to get my

hands on that lash curler of emily's! which is

from sephora if you wanted to know

i'll get the brand, make and model!

so, if you like long, lucious, thick lashes

go with l'oreal and then take yourself out to

lunch with the extra bones you're saving yourself.

xoxo,

OLIVIA
