SheenaEsque

Here is a compilation of crafts, and goodies for the next big holiday! Whether it's for a friend or that special someone in your life, these creations are sure to brighten their hearts and make them smile. Just simply knowing you thought of them is nice, but knowing you spent time too actually make them something makes it so much better!

Also, I'm excited to announce that my friend Courtney will be joining SheenaEsque as a Contributor. This means she will be blogging along with me and will bring some more awesomeness your way! Now this announcement is a little early because we still have to get her set up and ready to go, however I am too excited to wait. :D 

So there you have it. Exciting updates from SheenaEsque. I will sign off by saying, you all have an amazing weekend! I know I will! :)

I'm sure you could use other flavors of Kool-Aid Singles with this... Also make sure you don't use the whole singles pack for one drink. just give it a couple dashes of the stuff. you want to still be able to taste the chocolate lol

The above image shows three Christmas gifts I received from my two besties. I adore how they both know what I love. Photography, my pet iguana Harry Houdini, and elephants are my favorite animal. :) I know that the ring and necklace are from Charming Charlie, but I'm not sure where the earrings were purchased. If I find out, I will edit this post to let you know! 

Here is a gallery of some non-jewelry faves. First is Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast. Now the pic is of what I just created on my own, but here is a similar recipe I found. Next is two of my favorite games to occupy my time, solitaire and Words with Friends. I do have an app to play solitaire on my phone/tablet, but I prefer to play card games with actual cards unless I can't, then I turn to the apps. I just prefer to shuffle the cards myself and actually have something to do besides tapping a screen. I guess I'm like those people who prefer to read actual books instead of using a Kindle. lol. And don't even get me started on Words with Friends. This game is truly addicting and also makes you get frustrated. Which is the classic duo of traits made famous by Angry Birds, where the one who is the angriest is the person playing. (why even have the red birds now that you have all these types who kick some pig butt. and why don't we get rewarded with bacon after killing the evil pigs???) Anyways, Words is another way to feel less guilty about spending time with your face glued to your electronic devices because it's somewhat educational. 
And last but certainly not least, Roach the caterpillar. We had one of our trash bins fall over the other night. So I was picking up the mess and tossed the pizza box to the pile-o-trash and on the underside was this little bright green caterpillar. I was surprised to see him because we have had about 3 different snow falls, and this was shortly after the worst of them. I didn't think he was alive, but when I touched him, he moved. I decided to grab my brother's old bug holder and rescue him from his certain death this winter. You know how they say that when the world ends the only thing that will survive are roaches? So Roach it is then! He has been with us for about a week now and is thriving! He eats and crawls all over the place. He also has redecorated his place a little, making sure every thing is feng shui. 
So there you have it, some of my favorite things right now. Let me know what some of your current favorite things are. I'd love to see what's trending right now in real life and not on Twitter. :) Have a great Monday everyone!

   So yesterday I decided to go out and use one of my gift cards I got for Christmas, and I stumbled upon this little beauty. I was in the works for a new wallet anyways, because the one I had was too big for my purse! lol I always had a hard time taking it out or putting it back in. So with this new purchase, I can checkout faster and not hold up the line anymore! :)

I was so tangled up in wrapping presents that I completely forgot to get all of my computer related tasks done. One of which is to get my blog on. So I didn't plan anything out for today. I know, I'm a party pooper. But I will use this post to not only say that I appreciate the love and support I've been getting and I hope you all will continue to spread the word of SheenaEsque to get others to check it out! My page views multiply every day and I'm loving it. 
Now it wouldn't be a proper blog post if there wasn't a link in it somewhere, right? lol so before I go, I'm going to post a link below for a cute way to recycle plastic bottles. Might have to try this sometime.

Zooey Deschanel is one of america's sweethearts, and a huge fashion inspiration to a lot of girls in my generation. Her style is quirky, feminine and conservative. She demonstrates how to use simple solid colors while throwing in the occasional eye-popping pattern. And as shown below, tights are a must. Whether you use a color or stick with simple black, it acts as a blank canvas for the rest of your outfit to assemble on top of. Zooey is a great example of how to be cute and flirty, without be sleazy. 
If you aren't familiar with Ms. Deschanel, I highly recommend you tune in to watch her show New Girl on Tuesdays at 9/8c on FOX. Also, check out the website she co-founded called HelloGiggles. It truly is "the ultimate entertainment destination for smart, independent and creative females." [site:about]
