The July Issue // Friendships & Family // From Winter Blues To Sizzling Spring
From Winter Blues to Sizzling Spring
Is your Winter wonderland not so wonderful? Kick your cabin fever and get ready for Spring!
Prep your wardrobe! Go through last season’s clothes and get rid of what you don’t love. Find a few colorful pieces to layer under long sleeves and cardigans now to brighten things up.
Get in bloom! Fill your home with flora to perk up your mood. Get a low maintenance house plant or just buy some pretty flowers at the grocery store.
Tyra:
"I try to have fresh flowers in my house all the time! My favorites are orchids- check the picture on the right- aren't they pretty??"
Throw an indoor beach party! Make a playlist of your favorite summer songs, get your friends to wear cheesy Hawaiian shirts, and dance until you’re hot enough to think it’s July. Make sure you serve frozen drinks with tiny umbrellas in them!
Have one last cold-weather hurrah! Get the last of wintry activities out of your system. Grab your girls and go ice skating, for a fancy hot chocolate, or another treat that won’t be as much fun in April!

I would like to receive help from an inspiring person like, Tyra Bank but behind closed doors, no camera, everything. But, the question is…”Whose willing to help without in return of help like by spreading the word of how generous the person is for their own career, name, title, and pride?” Why can’t that Famous people just help others in need just because in general, deep inside their character, they just are a caring, loving, passionate, and generous person within?

Colorado weather is very unpredictable. We will also be having a Birthday party for my youngest daughter Madison who will be e in April. Of course Easter egg hunting for Easter!!! I love yellow roses so they will be in my house for Easter. I love Easter lillies but I sneeze like crazy. I have an allergy to those which stinks. At least their is only 1 flower I have an allergy to and not several. Love ya!!!

Got several tropical air fresheners for the house and my car. Did some major cleaning, went through everything and if I haven't used it within a year then I got rid of it. And I have updated my Ipod with alot of upbeat music.
