Classy Lady needs to come back!!!

                   Classy Ladies need to come back to society again!!


In today's society we are missing lots of things one happens to be good strong classy lady! Us women over the years have come accustom to acting and dressing as something other the respected women which I happen to find shame! I happen to like leaving something to the imagination of men! Don't get me wrong I'm not saying cover yourself up or anything like that I'm just saying we need to set positive example for the younger generation, it seems that some women have just decided that acting like hoe is good example well it's not!!!! I will show you some photos of very classy women past and present who know and know how to act like lady, I'm sure your sitting their saying but wait Nicole you say your all east meets west,vintage  type of person well I am however it's all about how you act as well as dress that make you classy! I'm sure you are wondering who I find classy and what is the definition of classy lady so here goes.

What is the definition of classy lady might you ask?
Well after doing some research I have found the answers for you, yes their is more then one answer for this question so her goes:

Floaty fall scarf pattern in progress

For my next crochet project I'm going to make Floaty fall scarf, that is what the pattern is called you can find the pattern here:http://www.crochettoday.com/crochet-patterns/floaty-fall-scarf I find it super easy this pattern is not challenge for me which I thought that it would be.This year I want to take my crocheting to new limits where I've never going before it's all part of my taking chances more. Here is how the pattern is coming along. I chose to use verigated crochet cotton because I wanted something fun and full of color, when I make this again I will use another color.

Beret I crocheted

I think that I have gotten over my block or whatever it was that I had with my crocheting for while. I got an idea while I was in the shower [of all places to get an idea for something] to crochet beret since it happens to be winter up here in PA and I could wear it right into the spring after all. After my shower I went to http://www.ravelry.com/ to look for pattern but after about few minutes I remembered that I have tons of Crochet Today Magazines, so I went right to http://www.crochettoday.com/ as reference point so I knew what magazines that I wanted to dig for and look at to see which one I wanted to try out, after looking at two berets in two different issues I decided that I want to make this one:

I just happen to think that this us such lovely beret that I had to make! Pattern said that it was not had to make at all well the skill level was not hard to make so I decided that it was time for me to makes this which I went fourth and did so.

Lip Scrub Homemade!

It's winter here in PA and most of you know that what means besides snow, it's time for those dry, cracked,peeling sore lips! I've tried tons of over the counter lip balm you can get at Wal*Mart and such places, when you get them they seem to start to work but then after little while they just stop! Ever wonder why that is? I know why it's because they are filled with chemicals that don't work they keep our lip from not healing to be depended on them, I've learned this past year that chemical free stuff works wonders for us and our bodies! Okay I know enough preaching get to the point all ready!

Their are few things that I totally love one is sugar scrubs! This begin said I decided tonight that I would make my own lip scrub to help my lips out in addition to great Lip Bliss that I use from http://www.soapothecary.com it's amazing stuff it help my lips out amazing it's natural you know what you are putting on your lips! however that 's another blog! Onto my lip scrub you may wonder where do I get the products well they can be found right in your home! The photo over here on the left is my lip scrub that I just made and applied to my lips, don't worry if some gets in your mouth while applying because it's made from sugar,olive oil,glycerin mixed it together rubbed it on my lips for few minutes nothing hard but just enough though.You can store this in any container that you have round the house just make sure that it's clean and you have lid that you can place on it, that is if you want to.

Here are my lips before I place the scrub on them
they are dry,peeling,cracking thanks winterLOL


















Here are my lips after the scrub they feel much softer and lot better, now right after I did this I place some Lip Bliss on it the scrub helps take off the dead skin on my lips and helps with keeping the new skin soft and moist!

Next I plan to make my own lotion and custom lip balm as well
