Oh, Monday

{via Pinterest}

There's so much negativity out in the world. It's hard to remain positive when everyone either brings your down or has ceased having hope. When getting rejection after rejection for job applications,  I just have to get back up and keep at it! So, stay positive, folks!

Now, I'm not so sure that I would recommend doing this out loud unless surrounded by a group of friends as I'm sure you'd get several strange looks, but it does makes you think. Anyone who reads knows that at any moment the plot can change. So, why not apply that to your life? Your life is obviously going to randomly change, and I think it's genius to relate it to a plot twist! If it didn't change, life {and books} would be very boring. Enjoy your plot twists this week!

Monday...again?

Monday's are always rough for any one. I want my weekend back! I don't know what I'd do without coffee. I'm also envious of the Starbucks cup picture Cassie posted this morning (share, lady!). Coffee in tow, I'm ready to take on this week! Let's do it!

After a long and busy weekend out of town celebrating at a family wedding, I just couldn't bring myself to think deep. Also, I'm pretty sure my Monday will involve lots of cookies or multiple cups of coffee or both...

Another Manic Monday

Lately the lack of job has really been getting to me. I'm getting restless and losing hope of finding something. However, my support system helps get me through the days of doubt. They give me words of support and motivation. I need to make myself more of an asset and be more assertive. That's at least what I'm telling myself lately. I need to stay positive!

So, I know that last week my quote had to do with champagne, but I just had to share this one. What's better than champagne? Champagne and sequins! They make life worth living.

Well...not really, but they are pretty awesome and make every day better. And, I totally agree that a smile is a woman's best accessory. A simple smile can change anything!

Do What You Love [Hump Day Hugs]

This week's hug:

Work at something you enjoy and that's worthy of your time and talent.

We all have different talents. Some are great communicators. Some are artists. Some are meant to challenge your mind. Some are meant to pick you up when you fall. Some are meant to put you back together when you break into a million pieces. The question is: are you using your talents and time to do something you enjoy?

When you are doing what you love, there is no greater gift than the happiness that comes with it. 

{via cdn.indulgy.com}

You are given the opportunity to make the world a happier place because of the positive energy that flows through you when you do what you love because you feel unstoppable.

{via briantracy.com}

There is no weight on your shoulders when you get up each day because you know that no matter what happens, at the end of the day, you'll still be doing that one thing you are meant to do. I think we all want to feel this way about our day. It is something we need to pray for and work for. 

{via stylentonic.com}

Happiness comes from within. Find your happy place and work hard to get there. Take your talents and turn them into a career that you can be proud of, that you will love, and that will be worth your time and effort each day.

Monday, We Meet Again

{via Pinterest}

I feel as though through this blog, we hope to reach people and have people relate to us. Sometimes, I am worried that what we say won't have any significance. C.S. Lewis says everything so beautifully. Sometimes it's more important to live life rather than try and document it. So all of you, check our blog (leave us some comments) and then go out and live! :)

I have a deep love for champagne and white wine. There are definitely days where nothing I do will make my day better except enjoying a glass of bubbly. There's something about the feeling of the bubbles travelling down my throat that makes everything better. It's perfectly soothing, especially when enjoyed during a bubble bath.

I truly hope that several of you guessed this weeks Chick Flick just by the title alone. If so, bravo! If not, you need to go watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days immediately! 

{via Pinterest}

For those of you who have yet to have the joy of watching this movie, it is basically a hilarious guidebook of the crazy ways women go wrong when approaching a new relationship.

Kate Hudson plays Andie, a writer for "Composure" magazine. In order to save one of her recently dumped friends from a bad situation, she volunteers to write a How-To article entitled How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. For the article she will begin dating a guy and perform all the common mistakes women do in the beginning to scare a guy off. Trouble is her test subject, Matthew McConaughey, Ben, is also in it the relationship under false pretenses for work.

As much as she tries to scare him away, he just won't run! 

{via Pinterest}

Can they push aside their lies and give the relationship a real shot?

We'll give you a hint...it's a happy ending!

I Just Like to Smile

Hump Day Hugs have been revamped and are ready for action!

This week's hug:

Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.

Now, we have to say, we're pretty good at this. We look for the silver lining in most situations. That's not to say that we don't have our Debbie Downer days because we are human so we totally do, but for the most part - this is us: positive and enthusiastic about life!

{via pinterest}

But, we get it. Some days it's hard to plaster on that smile and face the world. You may be having a bad day, but your smile might be the only one someone sees all day. And, just remember that somewhere out there in that great big world, someone's got a smile waiting for you too.

And, in case you didn't know, it takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown. So, put on your happy face and make someone's day today. We promise it'll make you smile more!

For Beautiful Lips: Speak Only Words of Kindness

{via Pinterest}

I think there is something very truthful and elegant to this quote. Not everything we think we want is meant for us, and there is always a reason for that. It's best to let go and move past that. Every day should be a new day to choose to love and live in a meaningful way. As Cassie and I both like to remind ourselves, every day is a new day to start over. :)  

{via at home in love}

Now, if you grew up with a daddy like mine, you've probably heard something similar to this quote. Whenever anyone did something remotely foolish, he would chime in with a smile on his face, "Don't quit your day job!" Luckily, we knew he was just being a smart aleck and wanted to get a rise out of us.

But, the day I came across this quote, it really resonated with me. It gave me a sense of hope. I mean, everyone's got a daydream, right? Or, if you're like me, you've got several thousand...just ask my husband! So, who's to say you should just give up on it? With hard work, perseverance, faith, trust, and maybe some pixie dust, you can do anything you set your heart on!

Why Are You Naked?!

Today, we choose The Proposal as our chick flick. The combination of Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds is masterful. Their comedic timing and chemistry is positively uplifting, and right now, we could both use a little happy in our week!

{via 1001moviequotes}

Sandra Bullock's character Margaret is from Canada and is threatened with being deported since her visa is no long valid. She then comes up with a scheme to marry her assistant, Ryan Reynold's character Andrew, who thinks she belittles on a daily basis.

{via pinterest}

They go to Alaska to visit Andrew's family for Gammy's 90th birthday and to prove that they are really getting married. Once Andrew's family finds out their "engaged," hilarity ensues.

You also get to catch Betty White in all her glory, singing Get Low...what's not to love?

{via ifyoucantsayanythingnice-quotes @ tumblr}

{via pinterest}

The days spent together in Alaska made both Andrew and Margaret realize how much they knew about each other and how much they love each other. You must watch to find out how they get there and what happens when they do.

{Side note: If you love The Office, Oscar is in this movie and is hilarious.}

If you need a little laugh and love in your life, this is the movie for you!

Or, if you just want to stare at Ryan Reynolds in all his beautiful-ness {and a lot of it is shown}, we'll join you. :)

Enjoy!!!
