Dreams and courage quote

2013-05-18T11:37:00.000-07:00

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them

I always try to have goals and dreams to pursue and I work at it. It's up to us really to make things happen. I dream of a cute and charming house, a fit body I can be proud, a great marriage, happy kids, great friends. For some it is a long lifetime on going dream to work on, like with a marriage and happy kids and for the rest it may be short but we should never stop dreaming ever. It takes some courage to do anything to and I really believe that if things were not hard we would not even care.
Do you have dreams? Give me some advice how you make them happen...
Love,
Isabelle

Mimi is 13 years old

2013-05-16T06:00:00.000-07:00

How did this happen? I remember when I was 13. I wanted to marry Michael Jackson. Why did my Mom get me back to reality? Haha. I was listening to the radio for hours every nights trying to forget about my parents situation. My Mom divorced my Dad after 7 years of separation and we moved from southern France to the city to my Grand ma's apartment in a ghetto around Paris. Life was so bizarre! So sad and hard. I am very glad that I am giving a better life than I had growing up to my daughter.
I can hear you say...How do you have a 13 year old daughter? I look younger than what I am. I actually married at 26 and had a "life" like I say. Traveled, served a mission for my church. I danced for Disneyland Paris...I am grateful for my daughter and I am so lucky. She is a sweet nurturing and caring young woman.
We had flowers delivered to school and donuts, a big chocolate cookie with icing to celebrate.
Did you marry young or late? do you like it?
I think we do what is the best for ourselves. Share...

Ephraim's rescue movie blogger event

2013-05-08T06:00:00.000-07:00

I really loved the movie 17 miracles. I felt more appreciations for the pioneers, their sacrifice, courage and faith after seeing it. As I have said before my husband is a descendant of the pioneers. I am very exited about Ephraim's rescue. I got to meet T.C. Christensen, the director of the movie and Darin Southam the lead actor. Katherine Nelson is also in this movie and I got to meet her few months ago for a private mini concert. The world is really small in Utah and I love it. So many amazing and inspirational people. The movie is out May 31 in Utah and Mesa Arizona, check their website for locations here

A little bit about the movie:

From T.C. Christensen, director of the sensational pioneer film, 17 Miracles, comes the heroic true story of a simple man who was called to do the work of angels. Ephraim’s Rescue relates the story of Ephraim Hanks: a rescuer of the Martin Handcart company.

Follow Ephraim as his adventures lead him to join the LDS Church and ultimately to one of the most heroic rescues in American history. With a unique desire to help and strengthen others, Ephraim learns that each choice we make can prepare us for what lies ahead. He discovers, through it all, that decisions determine destiny.

Ephraim Hanks, a real hero:

During The rescue of the 1856 Martin handcart company, Ephraim Hanks provided buffalo meat to the travelers. "The most remarkable thing about it was that I had traveled that road more than fifty times, and never before saw so many buffaloes in that part of the country. There was not a member of the party but what believed that the Lord had sent them to us in answer to prayer".

Hanks also administered to the sick and dying. Finding many of the emigrants with frozen hands and feet. "Many such I washed with water and castile soap, until the frozen parts would fall off.Hanks provided another important service: Many of the Saints had frozen limbs which were endangering their lives".

Brother Hanks anointed these folks and prayed that an amputation could be done without pain. Then he took out his great hunting knife, held to the fire to cleanse it, and took off the dying limb with its keen blade; many with tears in their eyes said they hadn't felt a thing.

Darin Southam and me

Darin Southam as Ephraim Hanks

A little bit about Darin:

Darin's passion for acting started with a play in his 7th grade drama class and has evolved into a career, with roles that span from indie films, such as Last Man(s) On Earth, to Disney's Halloweentown High, Discovery Channel's I Shouldn't Be Alive, and Fox's 127 Hours. A former student of Playhouse West in North Hollywood (Jeff Goldblum, James Franco, Michelle Pfieffer, etc.)

Darin enjoys the method of digging deep into the characters he portrays. At heart, Darin is a family man with a wife and 3 young children; he hopes his performance as Ephraim Hanks in T.C.'s Ephraim's Rescue will elevate his opportunity to pursue what he truly loves to do - act in film. More info about Darin can be found at darinsoutham.com

What does being a mom means to me

2013-04-27T06:00:00.000-07:00

Being a Mom means lots of kisses, hugs and love.

Making her feel wanted, cared for.

Holding her when she sleeps because I am too tired to do anything else.

Having my life on hold to watch her grow.

No shower and messy hair.

Lack of sleep.

Dressing her cute and looking like crap.

Dressing up and nowhere to go.

Running out the door by myself and feeling on vacation.

Catching her when she falls.

Laughs, funny faces and sounds.

Making a cardboard house, painting her nails.

Eating bananas, cheese and on the go apple sauce.

Seing her feeding the dog her food.

Grabbing everything, pushing everything, pulling everything and cleaning poop on the bathroom floor.

Cute baby sounds...bath bath bath.

Wishing my Mom was here to help me and talk to me.

What does being a Mom means to you?

Haute couture runway hair, hairstyle DIY

2013-04-19T06:00:00.000-07:00

This haute couture runway hairstyle is very easy. I made this tutorial step by step.

It is very Parisian runway inspired by designers like Valentino.

You will sure get noticed.

You will need:

2 anti-slip black headbands elastics.

1 small hair elastic ( I use a translucent one)

3 big bobby pins

Place the 2 black anti-slip headbands on your head spaced few inches apart.
Tease the back of the hair behind your head bands. I used a small brush instead of a comb because my kids lost my comb. "roll of eyes". But that doesn't stop me...
Make a low ponytail with the elastic.
Twist your hair to make a bun and secure with 3 big bobby pins.
You can wear it like this. Great for evening outing or party, church, work. In Paris we dressed a little more up than anywhere else.
Everyday look, still couture.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial

Gros bisous et a bientot

Coconut lavender oil DIY

2013-04-18T06:00:00.000-07:00

Coconut oil is used in the French Islands so I used it growing up. I used the Monoi version with gardenia flowers in it. But you can actually buy coconut oil and make your own scents. My favorites homemade ones are Lavender, rose for the body and face as they are calming. I love vanilla in summer and in the sun.

The list of the many ways I use coconut oil:

-In my hair after the shower, it protects and makes my hair shiny and healthy.

-As a end repair solution on your hair.

-I use waterproof eye liner and a little bit of coconut oil will remove it like magic. Great makeup remover.

-A tablespoon in the bath water.

-As emergency diaper rash ointment.

-On my hands and body.

-In the sun it keeps your hair protected and your skin nourished. -Great to protect your hair from chlorine in the pool.

-Great for cooking. replace oil or butter by coconut oil

Coconut lavender oil

Small glass jars. I got mine for $4 at walmart for a set of 4

1/2 cup Organic coconut oil

1 drop Lavender organic essential extract oil.

Stems of Lavender.

In a bowl add 1 drop of lavender oil to 1/2 cup coconut oil and stir well, fill your jar. Add a small stem of lavender to the side.

Because this oil is used on the face only one drop of lavender is sufficient, for body and bath, you can use 2 or 3 drops.

Side note: Use rose organic essential extract oil and a vanilla bean for the other versions.

I love tags with gifts so I made this printable tag of coconut lavender oil pic in case you want to give it away as a gift at a party or for your friends. This is great for VT also (little gifts when visiting teaching a friend for church ). Just click copy and paste. Print it and make a hole with a puncher. Tie it with a ribbon or twine. For personal use only

Easy Nail art cheetah design DIY

2013-04-13T06:00:00.000-07:00

This is a very easy nail art cheetah design tutorial. You may start to be Cheetah obsessed and paint everything cheetah like me...

Apply 2 coats of Hard candy 623 crush on gold.
Paint random spots with sinful colors professional 947 Mint Apple on one finger and Rimmel London 510 Pink-a-boo on the other.
You can use black polish and a thin brush but I used Sally Hansen nail art Pen in Black/Noir. Line the dots with 3 or 2 lines and fill the empty spaces between dots with "C" shaped lines.
Apply a top coat to protect your design. I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-chip top coat.

I matched my other fingers with the colors I already had and added stickers on my thumb and pinky.

The other blue polish with black and white dots is Hard Candy in 664 Gummy green. A very favorite effect in a bottle.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and start painting your nails and have fun. You can't go wrong with the color you use for the cheetah design. Experiment and do it again if you don't like the effect. This is why I love painting my nails. If you don't like it you just do it again few days later.

This is a new trend. Mimi and I have enjoyed doing our nail and think about new designs.

Do you paint your nails? Fake nails? Shellac?

Pretty pictures from my cell phone

2013-04-12T06:00:00.000-07:00

I have fun with my cell phone. I do a lot of blogging actually with it and I am always amazed of the quality and possibilities. I use Bonbon pic a lot for filters. Erasing imperfections and if it adds me 10 pounds, I use... "make me thin" filter. You can check what happened lately on my blog on my side bar for last month and this month...

Our trip to St George was so fun!

Great Features. I love fabric and those are perfect!

You are loved and Soleil's picture grabbing all the heart attack from my 12 year old on the wall was precious.

My new button and chalkboard art class

We are pretty funny and sometimes I write down what we say. We had a great Easter hunt and day.

Paper craft projects are always fun and those are pretty easy I think. My fun beauty products giveaway. I just love makeup and all that. Makes me happy so I hope that you like to win those giveaways. Mimi and I started doing nails and I will do a post about all our designs. We are having fun. I love cupcakes so you will find a lot of them right now and baby because they are cute together...

I felt so blessed. I was on KSL 5 TV, the browser 5.0 for blog of the week. It was a little scary and my brain froze a little bit but I think I did good. But most of all it was a blast! Got some Easter Egger eggs from a friends. I love chickens and those fresh and beautiful green eggs were such a treat for me. General conference was awesome. Always hard to keep the kids in front of the TV and I was not ready with games to make them interested. I won't forget next time. Zacky got a hair cut. He always looks like a new dog and Soleil was very intrigued by this new "Chihuahua ". Priceless. The poor dog is cold but he doesn't look like a pillow and can actually see where he is going and runs through the house...LOL

You can see the braid and cheetah Technic above. I think we are addicted and I just made a cheetah tutorial, check tomorrow. Sweet recipes at the latest link party. In detail of what I wore on TV. My girl turned 6 and she had a cat in the hat party, Coming soon on the blog of course. I just launched a huge Giveaway for my new App celebration. Hope you entered :)

I am a little back to reply to all comments but I will visit soon.

The Wonder Weeks App Review

2013-04-05T06:00:00.000-07:00

I have a 14 month old little girl. She is the my sunshine and my constant companion at this age. She is child number 4 for me and you would think by this time I would have it all figured out. While I do have some things down well I find myself relearning many aspects of raising a child and learning many new things as well. I recently tried out the Wonder Weeks app and found the information so helpful and useful for any mother or father raising a young child.

To understand the rapid development of a child’s brain and to link that to the child’s abilities, emotions and stages they go through at specifics weeks in age is so intriguing and answers so many questions even for child number 4.

I am including some screenshots from a section called relationships that was eye opening for me and a super useful chart called the 10 Fussy Phases:

I loved this app and will keep it on my phone permanently. Get it here:
