Black Card Centurion Card … once named for you to use, in the […] […] of the card, the black card: American Express only invites the credit card
The world 's most unique credit card. I see it more frequently than I ever did, maybe this is my travel circle, maybe people are making more money, or maybe American Express is just inviting more card members than in the past (although American Express will not reveal how many members actually
I see this very heavy VIP card in restaurants, hotels and nightclubs around the world, which is very normal … but one day I saw a lady using her ] A credit card, but I have a strong emotional feeling for my small platinum plastic) Know, what do you need to get a centurion card invitation? I need to be an Oscar-winning actress, maybe a politician with a very wealthy wife or business tycoon to buy $ 25,000 a week for dinner? Is it harder to get a black card than to enter a small world?
There is a lot of gossip needed to get this card. I would like to hear directly from the source, so I am in direct contact with American Express. This is what they are willing to reveal: [1945900002] # 1: The Centurion Card is Only Invitation . No online application, no, your friends working American Express may not let you in. They have standards (they will not be fully discussed), but it definitely includes high spending. I asked them whether they had $ 250,000 per year, neither confirmed nor denied. But some people say that they always look at card members, not just spending habits. Maybe it's like dating, they just want a great personality and enjoy a long walk on the beach (except the beach might be in Bali if you want to get a centurion card). [1945900002] [1945900002] There is a one time initial fee of $ 5000 to all New Centurion Account Payments Becoming a member of a very private club has great benefits such as access to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, exclusive cooking and cultural events around the world. [1945900002] Once a year, once a year, once a year, the cost is $ 2,500 Again, you pay for the benefits of people. If you travel around the world and need super professional services and all the other incredible benefits, it's a small price to pay! Also, if you can get this card and you are so loaded, you will not even feel the $ 2500 hit every year!
So, this is the exclusive and elusive black / centurion card. Now, go out to spend enough, travel a lot, maybe one day this welcome package will appear in your mailbox!

The Perfect Paint Palette
The first thing I did when we got our offer accepted for our house was go out and pick up as many paint samples as possible. I have followed many decorating/DIY blogs for years and have already known either the type of colors I want in our house or the exact color names. I had been dreaming of painting walls for a LONG time!
Little did I know when our offer was accepted, that we would be doing a major renovation that would push back painting for many, many months. That didn't stop me from dreaming, however, as I painted multiple swatches in every room in the house. Our bathroom, second bedroom, and master bedroom still have those swatches since we haven't completely decided what we want to do in those rooms.
When dreaming about decorating our house, we definitely wanted to keep the rooms bright and airy and let the accessories do most of the talking. I love more subdued paint colors in grays and aquas. I want our home to feel like a happy cottage, and to me aqua/mint green are the colors I think of when I think of a cottage. Gray is my favorite neutral, and I love how it looks with white and different shades of aqua, so we knew there would be a lot of gray in our house.
This is our current paint palette of colors we have used and colors we plan on using (or similar colors to those shown):
The process of choosing our paint colors was very easy. I began by going through my Pinterest boards and blogs with homes I love and I kept note of the paint colors I liked. In a Word document, I simply dragged photos of rooms with paint colors I liked and kept track of the paint names and makers.
Then, I showed San the photos and we picked out ones we wanted to buy samples of. We bought eight different samples of our favorite paint colors and then painted swatches and wrote the names underneath in pencil. We painted swatches on multiple walls so that we could see how they read in different lighting at different times of the day. We knew we wanted a bolder, darker aqua in the kitchen because of all the light it gets and the amount of white from the cabinets that would need to be balanced. I also knew I wanted a soft, light gray in the living room and bedroom hallway with a darker gray in the dining room.
Here are the rooms that are currently painted and what color we chose:
Living Room – Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore
The living room is painted Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore. We got it color matched in Sherwin Williams paint. I am in love with this color! The coved ceilings and white furniture looks so beautiful with this paint color! We are hoping to add more color in with curtains, more pillows, and art, so this paint color is a wonderful, soft, light neutral to balance all the colors that we plan to bring in. I love how this light paint color mixed with the white ceiling and coved ceiling allow the light to just flood in and fill up the room. Gorgeous!
Here is Stonington Gray in other rooms around the web (so you can get an idea of how it looks in different spaces):
Dining Room – Stonington/Coventry Gray by Benjamin Moore
Technically, the dining room is color matched in Sherwin Williams paint to match Coventy Gray by Benjamin Moore. When I originally picked up paint samples and painted them on the walls, I bought them from Menards. This was a bad idea because the way they color match and the way Sherwin Williams color matched Coventry Gray were different. I imagined the dining room being a much darker gray with the same undertones as the Stonington Gray in the living room. I wanted it to be darker because we are going to add board and batten to the bottom two-thirds of the dining room walls and I want a darker gray that can balance all the white. Right now, it is impossible to tell a difference between the living room and dining room paint colors, so we will probably be painting this Timber Wolf by Benjamin Moore or a similar dark gray once we have the board and batten done.
Here are some rooms with a dark gray like we want to use:

Cinder by Benjamin Moore – Source
Mombasa Mist by Ralph Lauren – Source
Unknown color – Source
Kitchen – Stratton Blue by Benjamin Moore
Ahhh, the kitchen! This is my favorite paint color in the house! The kitchen is painted Stratton Blue by Benjamin Moore. We used actual Benjamin Moore paint for this room, so the color is exact. This color reminds me of Nantucket or of Cape Cod. It's the perfect cottage blue and it looks amazing with white and black (and red). I love that it is a bolder color than the living and dining rooms because it draws people in, which is exactly what I think a kitchen should do! The white we are using in our house for the cabinets, dining room buffet, and eventually the trim and doors, is Cloud Cover by Benjamin Moore. I won't lie, this is the only paint color we didn't see on the walls before choosing. That was bold considering we have it all over the house, but it looks perfect! When seen next to stark white, it is actually more of a cream/gray, but it looks bright white in our lighting and with our other colors.
Here are some other rooms from around the internet that are painted Stratton Blue:
Those are the only rooms we have painted so far. I would like to share the paint colors we are thinking of using in the rest of the house. I'd love some advice or recommendations if you have any before we dive in to painting these rooms!
Bathroom – Light Aqua Blue
I would really like a light, pale blue in the bathroom. The floor tile has a lot of brown, and the square wall tiles have little tan flecks in them, so we want to stay away from gray in here because I am not a fan of brown and gray unless it is dark brown wood with gray. I'm really in love with the photos I have seen of Rainwashed by Sherwin Williams such as these:
However, I also love Palladian Blue by Benjamin Moore:
Master Bedroom – Some Shade of Blue or Blue/Gray
Our master bedroom definitely has me torn as to what color I want to paint it. We are planning on painting all the trim white as well as adding white closet units on the right wall (where the dog bed is and along that side wall in the photo above), and we will be keeping our rug and bedding. The headboard will probably be recovered either a fun pop of color (a sherbet orange? coral? yellow?) or a dark charcoal, so that it won't clash with the walls which we want to paint some shade of aqua blue. Part of me wants to go a very light, happy shade of aqua blue, almost like the two blue pillows on the bed, but part of me wants to go a little darker to make it more of a cozy sanctuary feel (does anyone get what I mean???). I love the idea of a lighter blue to lighten this room up, but I am hesitant because our bathroom and second bedroom will most likely be lighter blues. Thoughts?
Here are some other blues that I like that could be possible contenders:

Serenata by Benjamin Moore – Source
Nimbus Gray by Benjamin Moore – Source
Second Bedroom – Stay Tuned
Much like we have done nothing but fill this room with stuff we don't know where else to put, we also don't have a paint color picked out for this room yet. We have decided not to work on this room until we have news that we are going to be having a baby. We hope that will happen in the near future, so we don't plan on decorating this room only to change it right away. The gender of the baby probably won't matter when it comes to paint colors, and I already have a lot of ideas in mind for when that time comes, but for now we are going to keep it a secret.
So, there you have it! Those are our current paint colors and our plans for painting in the future. I have kept this post centered on the interior only because I have not put too much thought into the outside. If we paint the stone, we will probably go for a darker blue/aqua color, but if we don't paint the stone, I have no idea! That's a project for another time, but we will keep you posted once we know!
I'd love if you could share your favorite paint colors in the comment section! I would also love to read any suggestions you have as we paint the rest of the rooms!
Eat/Fast/Eat:How Intermittent Fasting Works for ME
In my last post, I mentioned that I started doing this new schedule of eating (if you will), called intermittent fasting (IF). If you don't know what intermittent fasting is, please click here first and enlighten yourself.
I'm not here to say that you, your friends, and dog should start intermittent fasting. I'm not here saying that it will be the best thing since sliced bread to help you with your fitness goals. I will be sharing my thoughts, my dislikes, and my over all opinion on it.
If you have at least got a decent understanding what IF is, then you understand the 'feasting window'. Since I have chosen a 16/8 time frame, I had to first decide what would be the ideal time to break the fast and end it. Since I typically work a random schedule as it is, I can almost guarantee that my first break comes a little after noon most days. Since Sarah does not get home until later in the evening, we usually don't have dinner until about seven. So, through a perfect guess, I found that by breaking fast around 1-2 PM and starting the fast a little after 8 seemed to be what works best for me.
I'm not going to lie, the first day was unbearable, considering that I had to wake up a lot earlier than normal and have to work with food all day. I almost pulled a 20/4 window without even trying. I felt more tired, I felt more irritable, and I obviously felt much, much more hungry. After a couple of days I finally got the hang of it and it's pretty much been smooth sailing since. Since I'm on a cut (meaning a caloric deficit from what my maintanence caloric intake is), I'm only allowed a set amount of calories a day and doing IF has allowed me to distribute my calories between two larger meals, rather than three or six of them (as some people do). Who wants to eat six small meals with less than 400 calories a piece?
By doing IF, it has taught me to have a lot of self control. Knowing that I'll be able to have two larger meals later in the day makes me fight my cravings throughout the day. My training at the gym has gotten better because I don't have something sitting in my stomach weighing me down. I've also have really embraced the idea that food is a gift, a privilege, and a blessing to have readily available. Time and time again, I'll vacantly stare at my plate of food. Take it all in. I remind myself that I'm so lucky to have what it is I have in front of me and that each meal acts as a reward for working so hard throughout the day. Eat to live. Not live to eat. Not only have I noticed weight loss, I've also had better looking skin with less breakouts and I also am more focused in the mornings.
The first negative was not having breakfast anymore. I'd say it was the hardest part about starting this for me because I love breakfast. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, sausage, etc., I love it all. Skipping that meal was mentally challenging for me because I was so used to having a fluffy omelette or egg sandwich every morning. Although I've learned self-control, it's so easy to be tempted by anything and everything around our kitchen at work and at home. While the idea of two larger meals later in the day sounds peachy, it's not the easiest feat to shove down a large plate of food. I made the mistake my first few days by trying to eat too much in a short window and it immediately turned me off of IF. It took over a week but I finally figured out how much I could eat without making it so that I was literally forcing food down my throat.
Overall thoughts:
With all of the new ways of eating and dieting that has come up in today's time, I've finally found the one that works best for me. It's not easy starting out either. It took me a while to finally understand the timing and to finally build up enough mental strength to continue on. Since I've started IF, I've lost about ten pounds in three months. It would be more if I actually ate really healthy, but hey I'm only human. I also enjoy doing it because it's allowed me to prove to myself that I can follow through on my fitness goals and stick with a new program/diet.
Do I recommend IF for everyone? Not at all. Do I think people who are struggling with weight loss should give it a try. Yes. Of course people assume, "so you're starving yourself to lose weight?". To a degree, yes and no. Yes, in the fact that there is a large window of time where there is no food consumption. No, because I'm still getting all of my calories and macro-nutrients in for the day, just at a later time.
With patience and time, I managed to find my stride with my new eating routine. Has there been new trends or diets that seem to click with you and your body? What were the ups and downs of those programs? What helped you refocus and attain your goals?
Planning My Way to a Saner Sarah
Have you ever stopped to think about how much your life has changed since you were a child? Now that I've been in the "real world" for a couple of years, it is easy to feel overwhelmed when I compare my life to how it was back in high school or even in college. I've always been motivated to do things and often over-fill my plate, but working fifty hours a week with a business on the side is a lot different than working 25 hours a week and taking a full college course load. As easy as it is to feel overwhelmed when thinking about how much more I have to do these days, it is also just as easy to feel optimistic when I think of all that I have learned about time management over the years.
One way I have always stayed organized is through the use of a planner. In high school, my school gave out planners to each student to stay organized. I diligently wrote down my extracurricular activities, assignments, and social engagements (because I was super fancy and called them 'engagements' back then – not) so that I wouldn't forget. In college, I scoured stores for the perfect planner that would give me enough space to write everything I needed to do while not being too large to lug around everywhere. However, as more was piled on to my "to do" list, more time became devoted to finding the perfect planner.
During my final years of college, I transitioned to the Erin Condren Life Planner. I loved that it was colorful, inspirational, and more structured than a lot of other planners I had used. But, once I started my business and began teaching full-time (which I am now no longer doing but am nannying full-time), I needed something more. I wanted a place to do long-term planning, daily planning, keep track of our meal plan, budget for the month, remember important dates in the future, and track progress in my health. I wanted something that no store had prepackaged and ready to go for me. I needed something customizable.
Enter the Filofax brand back about a year ago. I purchased a Dakota personal size Filofax that I used for a few months. I loved the customization capabilities but ended up hating the size. As nice as the personal size was for carrying around, it was horrible for me when it came to writing things down because I tend to make very long, detailed (sometimes sloppy) lists that I constantly had to rewrite because the personal size didn't have enough room for me.
I know not everyone carries a planner, especially in adulthood if you don't have a job that would require you to keep track of meetings and things like that, but they have been a lifesaver and timesaver for me! I love to share things with others in the hopes that it can encourage, inspire, and inform them. I created a video tour of my planner so you can see how I have it set up, what I used, and exactly how I use it. I hope it helps you in some way!
I would love to know how you keep track of things to do! I'd also love to know of any products that you love for staying organized and accountable! Happy planning!

For The Sake Of Time
Ever since Sarah and I purchased this house back in May, it seems like our To-Do lists are never completed, or they just keep growing. The responsibilities of being a homeowner often plays a large role in controlling how we go about our day-to-day tasks, which include eating. Sometimes, takeout or a drive-thru seem to be a better option than coming home at around nine o clock most Saturdays and firing up the skillet.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love using my kitchen tools, making up things as I go, and trying new flavors out, but there just isn't enough time in the day for me to cook each and every meal. If I also have to get up earlier the next day, I don't want my sleep to suffer, and I love me some sleep (who doesn't). So, for the sake of time, the wife and I often break out our trusty and always reliable crock-pot. It's pretty common for the misses and I to use our crock pot at least once or twice a week depending on our schedules. Sarah gets home later in the day because not only does she have to work about ten hours a day, she also has to commute 30-45 minutes each way. Since I do the cooking most of the time and my schedule is so random, this leaves little time for us to make much at home that isn't a frozen pizza or pasta and red sauce. Here are some reasons why we love our crock-pot:
#1 Convenience:
It's pretty much common sense, but most people really underestimate how simple it is to make a wonderful meal without having to labor over a stove or keep checking on the oven. Just throw a bunch of ingredients in there, turn it on, and forget about it. Sarah loves using it because it requires her to think less about making dinner and more about getting our home back to order after a chaotic week.
#2 It makes meal prep easier:
Since I've started intermittent fasting and plan on dropping a lot of weight this year, I have to keep my calories in check (a caloric deficit). This means that I will be bringing all of my meals to work instead of having what is on hand. Using the crockpot allows me make a rather large amount of chicken breasts (that are fall apart tender) that I can't do in an oven. Sure, I have to wait longer for them to be completely cooked, but while they are in there, I am free to clean up the house, shovel some snow, or even run a bunch of errands. Once they are finished, I weigh out the correct portion sizes and put them in microwave-safe containers to take to work with me. By doing this method, I am able to make lunch for myself and Sarah for 4-5 days, which is about 8-10 meals! Talk about efficiency!
#3 Clean up is a breeze:
Self-explanatory. Just throw a liner in that bad boy and your set. Don't forget that most crock-pots have removable stoneware so you can store the left overs (if any) in the fridge.
#4 It's great for entertaining:
Love pulled pork? Love spinach dip? Then a crock-pot will become your best buddy. Once you've finished making either dish, you can keep it on warm for as long as your guests are there for, just make sure to check the crock from time to time (to prevent burning or scorching). Sarah and I love making hot dips and keeping them nice and warm for our friends when they come over. If you don't have a chaffing dish for keeping foods hot and delicious, the crock is the next best option.
So that wraps up the biggest and probably most obvious reasons why Sarah and I (or probably most people) love using a crock pot. We love being able to come home to a wonderful smelling home cooked meal after a long day of working. Why is a crock pot a useful tool for you? Do you have any favorite recipes that are always being used?
The House Made of Really Long Lists
I have been an avid decorating/DIY blog reader since I was a sophomore in college, about six years ago. I've dreamed of owning a home my whole life and have "designed" my dream house over and over again growing up, both in my mind and on paper. However, I never realized how much anxiety was tied to the excitement of home ownership. My dream decorating never took into account funds, or lack thereof, experience, or time. Now that I'm 24 years old, married for two years, with a full-time job and a business on the side (plus a dog and a social life), I'm realizing that a beautiful home of my dreams is not easy (and not always fun) to achieve. After finally finishing our major renovation, I can't help but look around the house and see all of the millions of little things we still want to do. I'm extremely excited about these things and in love with our home even the way it is, but I'm a forward thinker and have trouble not thinking about all of the stuff I want to do.
Since I'm a list-maker by nature (just look in any drawer, notebook, or purse in our house and you will find proof of this), I thought I would share a list of all the things we have planned for our home. This makes me feel much better just knowing it's all written down and helps me stay motivated. I have no idea how many of these things will actually happen or how long we will live here, but we adore our house and want to keep loving on it as long as possible!
This list contains more than just major decorating, it also contains things we want to buy and organizing projects as well. I also included the rooms that are not created yet (the basement family room and basement bathroom) or used as such yet (the two basement bedrooms that are sheet rocked but are being used as storage).

Whew! Like I said, a lot to do! I'm excited to see which we actually do and how this list changes over the years. What are your favorite things you've tackled on your home's to do list? What is something you never anticipated doing?
Set The Bar High and Crush It: San's 2014 Goals
Happy New Year's! Today I'll be talking about my personal goals for the year of 2014. It seems like every year, whether I like it or not, I end up setting goals for myself that seem all too unrealistic for me or that seems out of reach. This year I actually had to sit down and think about it for a while. What do I want out of this year? What person do I want to become? For a moment I drew a complete blank. It took a while but I finally narrowed it down to three main goals. Let's dive in!
Goal #1: Become a more knowledgeable and gain more skills in my career as a Chef
If you don't know me by now, I did attend a culinary school. There I gathered a lot of useful information that has led me to my current job right now. I don't think that there is ever a time to stop learning. Once you stop absorbing new ideas and not gaining any more skills, maybe it's time really reconsider if your career is keeping you happy.
The first step is to read. Read more books, articles and blog posts that will fill my head with not only more knowledge of the culinary industry, but to also gain other chefs and cooks opinions on their techniques, what worked and failed for them, and ultimately take something from them to use in my own way.
Another way to build up my skills would be to learn about new and old ingredients and how I can utilize them in my cooking at work and at home. Of course I do enjoy making Alfredo sauce, but what's another way that I can really make it awesome? What's another technique I can use to clean a tenderloin to be more efficient? You get the picture. There's tons of new and old techniques that I can discover.
The last skill I guess you could say I already have, but it never hurts to become better with a knife. Not just slicing, dicing or chopping, but rather getting more uniform slices, chopping more to be more efficient (i.e chopping onions all together rather than three different times for three different recipes), and try my hardest to have each item I cut be as consistent as possible.
Goal #2: Make fitness and health a priority
I say this every year, but I think I've got more motivation this time and more tools to use. I will continue hitting the YMCA 5-6 days a week with a set routine in mind. I will continue to eat clean, eat in moderation, and healthier too. I recently started intermittent fasting and it has helped me with weight loss, but controlling myself and really understanding how much food is a blessing (I'll explain more in a different post about it all). Of course, being the food-lover and chef that I am, I will still enjoy the foods I love but not as big of portions as I used to take. I need to keep my sanity right?
Goal #3: Learning to let go and stress less
Mentally and physically, last year took a toll on my body. We were going through changes at my current job and we decided to do a full blown renovation that lasted seven whole months. Yikes. The misses and I argued a lot more. The house was in total disarray and things that we needed to use were incredibly hard to find. I found myself suffering from a lot of stress and it showed in our marriage and health. I gained ten pounds in a matter of 2 months. Sarah and I often yelled at each other for no reason. It was awful.
This goal is very important to me because it will keep my heart and mind at ease. I just need to learn to breathe, take it easy, and understand that things could always, always be worse. It was just hard to see through the fog we were surrounded in, but we feel so blessed to be where we are in our careers and to have a wonderful home now.
I feel so pumped about this year , not only for myself but for everyone in our lives because we all want to become better people and improve ourselves. I hope that this year brings everyone lots of love, joy and laughter. What are your goals for 2014? Will they be quick changes for the year or for a lifetime?
A Refreshing Start: Sarah's Goals for 2014
Happy New Year! Okay, it's a little late at this point, but this week is the first full week of January and a big week for me! I'm beginning some huge changes that will impact so many parts of my life. I've spent the first days of January reflecting on last year and what I learned. If you haven't followed her or even heard of her, make sure you head over to the fabulous redhead motivator, Lara Casey's blog. She is the creator of Southern Weddings magazine and also is one of the faces behind Making Things Happen, a workshop designed to set people on fire (motivationally-speaking) and put people on the path to make things happen in their life. She hosts a wonderful goal-setting series on her blog at the start of the year that asks just the right questions to help people reflect on their past year, on what they want for their life, and what goals will help them get there. I've filled up many pages in a notebook reflecting and goal setting. I want to share these goals on our blog as something that will help me look back at where I started. I also want to help encourage anyone reading this to really focus on what their vision for their life is and to start now at working to achieve that vision. It's never too late to start!
I'm definitely not going to share everything I wrote down when reflecting on 2013, but I feel some information is important so you have an idea of where my new goals are coming from. 2013 was a change-filled year. So many things happened, such as:
- We bought our first house
- We renovated our first house with my parents for 7 months
- We used Dave Ramsey's envelope system and budgeting tools we learned from a financial coach for a whole year
- We adopted Clementine Louise
- I quit my teaching job so that I could find a job that would allow me more time to work on my photography business (and less stress overall)
- We started spending more time with friends by planning monthly dates with our friends who live closeby
- I got very organized with the help of the Filofax planners
- For a period of time, I started waking up early to read the Bible and reflect on the Word
On paper, it was a great year! Lots of things happened. However, when I was really reflecting on the year, I was left feeling down. Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful for our home, our dog, and the help of my parents to get our home to a modern, open point. I am proud of the year overall. But, I feel like I lost a lot of momentum in the areas I had started working on at the beginning of 2013 because of the progress we made in other areas.
Renovating a house is not for the faint of heart. That's the honest truth. Our weekends were filled with chaos. Think plaster dust everywhere, tools on the floors, rooms full of furniture placed in other rooms. Not knowing where things are. We got a lot done on the weekends, but I also had business stuff going on which I started to resent because it was just another thing added to my plate. Instead of my business feeling like a blessing, I started wishing people wouldn't want to book me. That's horrible, but true. However, when I would actually get to sessions or weddings, I felt rejuvenated and I remembered why I was doing this. I just didn't have any rest time to refocus and remember why I was doing all of these things. The weekdays were always full of catching up on things we couldn't get done on the weekend.
After reflecting on the year, I realized that at the heart of why I still felt down about the year even though so much happened, was that a lot of things happened that we didn't spend time planning for. When we put in an offer on our house, we never realized the amount of renovating we would do. It makes so much sense now and we are glad we did it, but had I known that we would have been renovating for seven months, I would have setup systems in advance for my business, incoming papers, bill-paying, etc. so I wouldn't have to be stressed out about those things. I would have planned time to stay dedicated to my business blog, to friends, etc. beforehand instead of scrambling to make these things work in the midst of chaos. A renovation is chaotic no matter how organized a person is, but setting up some systems beforehand and knowing it would be so chaotic, would have allowed me to find some peace during that time. I'm glad I know these things now because they will help me later on. It definitely was not a wasted year, and it gave me the motivation I needed to make this year insanely awesome!
With all of this in mind, I decided on the word "REFRESH" as my word of the year. I learned a lot in 2013. We made some great progress. However, in my heart, I didn't feel like myself a lot of the time. Just like a webpage gets frozen and wonky from time to time and needs to be refreshed, I feel as though parts of my life were frozen with no progress (or I went backwards). My health definitely suffered, my stress level were high, and I wasn't resting enough or reflecting on my goals. I want to refresh this year and take from it only the progress I made and leave behind any backwards-action away from my goals. I want to start fresh, clean, and happy. I am ready to move on and mentally get to a place I was in 2012 when my life was very focused an orderly and I want to start this year with that mindset.
Whew! Now that I got that off my chest, I want to share some of the goals I set for this year. I set 18 goals total, but a lot of them have to do with the same things. I'm going to share the shortened version of them:
- Goal 1: Become closer to the Lord.
- Goal 2: Work on creating a deeper relationship with my husband.
- Goal 3: Make health a priority because my body is something to be treasured.
- Goal 4: Begin preparing to be a good mother, whether I become one this year or not.
- Goal 5: Create new habits and force myself to be uncomfortable so I can grow.
- Goal 6: Look into a way to help/inspire women to stay at home with their children. This is something weighing on my heart lately, and although it is not even in the cards for us right now, it is something I feel God pulling me to look into and help others with.
- Goal 7: Strengthen the relationships I have with my loved ones.
- Goal 8: Organize my life (both physically and mentally).
- Goal 9: Inspire happy marriages.
- Goal 10: Document my life through writing and photography.
- Goal 11: Simplify our belongings.
- Goal 12: Honor God with our finances.
- Goal 13: Work on branding for my photography business.
- Goal 14: Fill my days with thoughts of gratitude and hope.
- Goal 15: Take (and plan) time to reflect, refresh, and relax.
- Goal 16: Carve out times and write them on the calendar when San and I will devote time solely to each other (not our phones).
- Goal 17: Continue to make our home a beautiful, cozy, inviting place for ourselves and our loved ones.
- Goal 18: Streamline my business so it is more productive and lucrative for the time I'm putting into it.
This seems like a lot, but I have a whole year! This won't all happen in a day, and many of them are things I've already made progress on but just need to continue doing.
The main goal I am working on right now is becoming healthier. I have read The Daniel Plan and have become super motivated to clean up the food I put into my body. Already, San and I went through our fridge, freezer, and pantry and got rid of anything with high fructose corn syrup, MSG, anything hydrogenated, and other processed ingredients. It felt so good! Here is a look at just some of the stuff we got rid of via my Instagram photo:
And here is how much awesome food we got to keep:
I also started (yesterday) a 30-day detox where in addition to not eating foods with the aforementioned ingredients, I will also be omitting gluten and dairy from my diet. I'm doing this to see if I feel any changes without these things because so many people have sensitivities to them. I've eaten them both my whole life and may not even notice any damage they are causing, but I might once I omit them. Either way, my diet is going to be so much better now and I can feel proud knowing exactly what I am eating (and being able to pronounce it all). I will definitely be updating throughout this process.
I am so excited for an amazing year to shine and inspire others! I hope these goals inspired you and I would love to read about your goals for 2014, reflections on 2013, or advice for anything I posted! San will be back this week to share his goals as well.

one sweet girl Welcome to the e-catalogue of "Melbourne's Mary Poppins of Desserts", One Sweet Girl. Within these pages you will find projects I have worked on, plus a selection of the cakes, cupcakes, cookies and desserts that I am now sought after for. I created the business that is now known as One Sweet Girl from nothing more than my love of baking; since I first stepped into the kitchen in Form 1 at High School, I knew that baking was my Happy Place, and I am so thrilled that it has taken me on such a wonderful journey to where I am now. I draw a lot of inspiration from the 1950's, where masculine and feminine were truly defined and perhaps at their best. Classic sherbet colours of pink, green, aqua and yellow. Soft ruffled edges, buttons and bows, and beautiful tailoring are all reflected in pieces I create. I create all my flowers myself, cutting petals by hand if necessary in order to achieve the desired outcome. Cookies are iced with royal icing - no shortcuts using rolled fondant here - and of course, as you would expect, I source only superbly fresh ingredients. When you engage One Sweet Girl for your next special celebration, you can be sure that your guests will indeed make room for dessert. Best wishes

Flowers - The Bouquets of Ascha Jolie
Holly loves Fred The 'Holly' cake was created for a studio shoot where I first met Virginia of The Bouquets of Ascha Jolie. Virginia was desperately ill at the time with pneumonia, but still soldiered on and put on an amazing display of flowers just for this cake. The idea for 'Holly' came to me when I stumbled upon the closing scene from the iconic 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' movie starring Audrey Hepburn... that final scene where she finally realises in the cab just who it is that loves her, and just what she stands to lose if she ignores her heart's desire. Iconic colours of white and black are the main feature, with a touch of bling to echo the diamonds that every girl loves. The top and 3rd tiers feature quilt embossing, and is decorated with a swag of sugar blooms. Everything is grounded on a black presentation board, and some polka dot ribbons added for just a touch of whimsy. Cake serves 45 as shown. flowers - The Bouquets of Ascha Jolie - www.aschajolie.com.au Ambiance Image Photography - www.ambianceimagephotography.com
Matching cupcakes were created in black cases, and feature white fondant over butter cream. Each cupcake is topped with a double ruffled blossom with black piped centres to echo the main cake.
Cake flavours: Vanilla Bean, Rich and dense, chock full of real vanilla beans. Chocolate Fudge, A cross between chocolate cake and mud cake, this is intensely chocolately, but not heavy on the palette Caramel Dream, A white chocolate cake base with the addition of pure dulce de leche into the batter Lemon Delicious, Lemon curd, lemon rind and lemon juice make this a sensory delight for lemon lovers Mango Royale, Real mango pieces mixed through a velvety smooth vanilla cake White Truffle, Lashings of white chocolate in this cake make is smooth and morish without being cloyingly sweet White Truffle & Raspberry, White truffle cake with the addition of real raspberries to the batter Wild Berry Fudge, Chocolate fudge cake with the addition of mixed wild berries Dark Chocolate Almond, Rich dark chocolate cake with almond meal for a flavour to delight the palate Classic Carrot (with nuts and fruit), Voted by clients as the "best carrot cake ever�, this custom recipe includes pecans and bourbon-soaked sultanas, along with plenty of spice.. Java Fudge Rich dark chocolate cake with the addition of espresso for a caffeine jolt and taste sensation Coconut Ice Smooth and heady, this cake is made with coconut milk as well as shredded sweet coconut for the ultimate tropical experience.
Cake fillings: White, dark and milk chocolate ganache Flavoured ganache Buttercream - vanilla bean, chocolate, espresso, orange, caramel, lemon, almond, coconut
order of the garter
'Garter' cake consists of 4, 3/4 height tiers, and serves 140 as shown. The cake features a sugar peony {plus optional real feather} topper, a sugar garter ruffle and sugar pearl buttons

a step back in time The 'Vintage Lustre' cake was created to celebrate a timeless approach to marriage. Brides have opted for classic designs that are timeless and beautiful for decades, and I think that this cake echoes that sentiment perfectly. A classic stacked arrangement of round tiers is updated by separating the bottom tiers by a riser, into which a ring of sugar blooms has been inserted. The centre tier is then highlighted with edible ivory lustre, and finish the cake is topped with a circlet of the same sugar blooms. Cake serves 95 as shown. - Matching cupcakes also available. Stewart Leishman photography - www.stewartleishman.com
'Martha' is a birthday cake with a difference - it's all at once beautiful, pretty, girly - yet not overly fussy nor age-specific. This cake was created originally for an Octogenarian whose favourite colour is pink, but this style of cake would (and has) work perfectly as a wedding cake. Featuring my signature ruffled blooms, with a black sparkly centre, in a swathed cascade down the face of the cake, and a polka-dot ribbon around the presentation board for just a touch of whimsy. Cake serves 95 as shown. - Matching cupcakes also available. Stewart Leishman photography - www.stewartleishman.com

little red riding hood
Stepping straight out of the fairy tale comes this dessert table project created by Thetis of Little Sooti. I was asked to create deserts that were unexpected, a bit left of centre, vintage, and definitely not what people would expect. The table was brought to life in the woods of Mt Macedon, on a bitterly cold and wet day in July, and the entire project was featured in the launch issue of Tickle The Imagination magazine. For the main cake, I wanted to tell the tale of the fable, and drew inspiration from Japanese ink drawings - their perspective runs vertically up the page, rather than into, the way most Western art is created... so the base of the cake is marked by wolf prints that vanish into the centre tiers of forest, with the fabled red apple atop the cake as a crowing piece. Using a combination of 2D and 3D effects, the cake is unlike any other LRRH cake I have seen before or since! The other desserts prepared included: Apple pies in mini mason jars Red velvet cakes in small mason jars with vanilla butter cream and red sprinkles Red velvet cupcakes topped with glittery sugar mushrooms and apples Sugar cookies with royal icing Chocolate brownies {Cake serves 60 as shown} Flowers, moss, tree stumps - The Bouquets of Ascha Jolie - www.aschajolie.com.au
For as long as I can remember, I have loved and adored peonies. White peonies, pale pink, dark pink, doesn't matter, just give me peonies! One day I was dreaming of peonies, and cake, and was looking at a picture a friend of mine had snapped of his clients on their wedding day at the Williamstown Botanic Gardens, and suddenly I could see this table in my head complete with cake and swathes and swathes of peonies, positioned at the end of an avenue of very green trees. Of course, there could be no-one else but Virginia of The Bouquets of Ascha Jolie to create the florals I had in my imagination - and as soon as Gin heard what I had in mind, she was as excited as me to see it come to life. Having been inspired so greatly by that wedding photograph in the gardens, there was also no-one else to ask to shoot this creation but Steve of Steve Koukoulas Photography... and he stepped straight into my imagination, and brought my visions to life. The table itself was completely covered in 30 bunches of peonies in varying shades of pink; they were draped down the table legs, and also suspended above. Anchoring all this floral beauty is an ombre ruffle cake - but not just any ombre ruffle cake - no, this cake has ruffled petals in shades of peony pink, topped with some ruffled blossoms in the same colours. I also created some signature ruffled blossom cupcakes to match, peony sugar cookies, cake pops, raspberry marshmallows and some rosewater meringues. When it came to the desserts for this table, it was less a case of 'where to start' and more a case of 'where to stop'! Our Perfectly Peony table was featured on Polka Dot Bride in Jan 2012.

True Love A Getting Married Melbourne Event
FAQ' s 1. I like the pictures in the gallery, but can I have my own design? Certainly! The pictures in our gallery are examples of my previous work - they are not an exhaustive display, merely a showcase for you to look at. All my designs are created in consultation with clients, and while you are welcome to select any cake from our gallery, I do expect to create a custom piece just for you as part of my service. Helpful things to consider when planning your cake design are: * The theme of the day, for example, casual and laid back, or formal and elegant? * The colours of the invitations, flowers and outfits chosen * Any favourite design motifs that have already been selected for your event, such as butterflies, stars or the like. I understand that the cake is the focal point of the evening, and work closely with you to ensure that your ideas are brought to life. 2. Can I have more than one flavour for my cake? Yes, certainly. You are welcome to have a different flavour for each tier, which does not affect the cost. 3 Do you deliver and setset-up? As I consider our cakes to be edible works of art, I do deliver and set-up your order as a standard service. The fee for this is based upon the location of your event. 4. Can you supply glutengluten- free and/or vegan cupcakes? Although I attempt to accommodate all flavour choices, at this time I am not able to offer these options, as my recipes are only based upon genuine wheat, egg, and dairy products, and therefore cannot provide any guarantees of a quality cake result. 4a. What about nutnut -free products? At this time it is not possible for me to offer any nut-free products, as some recipes do contain nuts, and therefore I cannot be certain that no cross-contamination may occur. 5. When should I book my event? For weddings and engagements, I prefer at least 2 months notice. For birthdays and other occasions, I prefer a minimum of 2 weeks, but preferably 4 weeks notice. During some periods of the year (Feb - April, and Sept - Nov), I book up very quickly, so if your event date is within these periods, the sooner you book your date, the more likely it is that I can accommodate your order. Often I can accommodate last minute requests, but acceptance of these is entirely dependent upon availability, and I do not recommend at all that you chance a last minute booking, and be disappointed.
FAQ' s 6. I want a cupcake wedding cake, but can I get a cutting cake as well? Yes, certainly! I offer a cutting cake service in sizes up to 6" diameter, in round or square shapes. Cutting cakes are approximately 4" in height, and are baked in either the same flavour as your cupcakes, or a complimentary flavour. It is quite popular for cutting cakes to be served to the bridal party, or the parents of the bride and groom, as a ceremonial part of the cake cutting. All cutting cakes are decorated to match our cupcakes. 7. How long before my event is my order prepared? If you have ordered a Traditional Bourbon Fruit Cake, then it is baked as far in advance as possible in order for the cake to mature and fully develop its flavour. All other cakes and baked goods are prepared as close to your event as possible. 8. Can I taste your cakes? Yes. When you call to arrange a consult, please tell us which flavours you are interested in trying (max 4) 9. My Mum/Nana/Significant Person has baked my cake - will you cover it? At this time, I am not able to accommodate any request to cover a third party cake. 10.
I've booked you for my cake, when will I need to pay?
A 30% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date in my diary. The balance is then due 14 days prior to your event. If your event date falls within the 14 day prior time period, then full payment is required at the time of booking. 11. Why is my deposit nonnon -refundable? All bookings are date specific, so if you change your mind about your function date, your deposit is forfeit against other orders I have declined in order to take your booking. 12. I want to order cookies, but I don't live in Melbourne! That's fine - I ship your cookies to you via Australia Post Express Post Parcel service. I also ship some dessert table items upon request too. Please contact me for information on postage rates for your requirements. Do you have a question that hasn't been answered here? Let us know by sending an enquiry to firstname.lastname@example.com

One day I was searching for inspiration, and stumbled upon a website - Cookie Couture. Long after that day was over, the name stuck with me and struck a chord. "Cookie Couture"... wearable cookies. But, I thought to myself, you can't wear cookies! At least not in the traditional sense of dresses and pants etc... but that thought kept turning around in my imagination... wearable cookies. Wear. Cookies. Of course! You don't just wear clothes, you wear jewellery too! Cookies could be made into jewellery - Cookie Couture! But these cookies couldn't just be cut out cookies to look like jewellery - you know what I mean, a wedding ring cookie cutter shape, or a purse shape, much like you can buy a tea cup or a flower cutter... no, no, no,. these had to be wearable cookies! A necklace, and a ring, and earrings too - plus a belt, and what about a bracelet - a charm bracelet too? And to cap it off, a couture handbag, one-of-a-kind, just like the meaning of the French word "made to measure" - well, every piece of this collection was made especially for its purpose, so it fit perfectly! When I mentioned my idea to my friend Penny Adams of P. S. I Love You, she knew instantly who to ask to model my creations - none other than the amazing Candice DeVille, who is renowned for her impeccable vintage style. And here we are, everything I could imagine, brought to life and immortalised in perfect Vintage Cookie Splendour. Idea, concept and designs - One Sweet Girl Image Styling - P. S.

...with the photo taking part of Ali's Week in the Life. I'd like to get a shot of the living room and our mail that we, or should I say Matt, stacks on the island in the kitchen.
I pulled out some scrap stuff that I want to use in this album. A lot of 7 Gypsies stuff. I'm going to keep it neutral in color. Use tags, maybe some paint, and labels... stuff like that.
Here are a couple of photos to share:
A view from above. (See the pug on the rug? LOL!)
Louie with his handkerchief on after his bath.
Little beggar here. No drool yet. Sometimes she makes these big bubbles on the sides of her jowls... it's hilarious. I've always had pugs, so this drooling thing is new for us. (pugs don't drool, at least mine didn't)
3 PM snack, this was on Friday.
Went to the Liquor Store on Friday. You can't buy wine in the grocery store in Pennsylvania.
The biggest bluest jaw breaker ever! This is what Ethan spent his field trip money on.
Emma got her new glasses, but had to go home without the contacts... she couldn't get them in her eyes. We'll try again next Friday.
That's it for now. Blog ya later!

OK, you just made me want DQ. LOL! I'm blaming you if I sneak a trip through the drive-thru on my way home today. WOW is that a big blue jawbreaker! Her glasses look great... hope you can work out the problem with the contacts. Did anyone look at you funny, taking pictures of the booze? LOL!

Solid Electrolytes for Lithium Ion Batteries
Posted by MSE Supplies on
A lithium Superionic Conductor: Li10GeP2S12
Nature Materials 10, 682–686 doi:10.1038/nmat3066
MSE Supplies has special offering of Li10GeP2S12 powder with an Ionic Conductivity of 8.1 × 10−3 S/cm at room temperature.
Batteries are a key technology in modern society1, 2. They are used to power electric and hybrid electric vehicles and to store wind and solar energy in smart grids. Electrochemical devices with high energy and power densities can currently be powered only by batteries with organic liquid electrolytes. However, such batteries require relatively stringent safety precautions, making large-scale systems very complicated and expensive. The application of solid electrolytes is currently limited because they attain practically useful conductivities (10−2 S cm−1) only at 50–80 °C, which is one order of magnitude lower than those of organic liquid electrolytes3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Here, we report a lithium superionic conductor, Li10GeP2S12 that has a new three-dimensional framework structure. It exhibits an extremely high lithium ionic conductivity of 12 mS cm−1 at room temperature. This represents the highest conductivity achieved in a solid electrolyte, exceeding even those of liquid organic electrolytes. This new solid-state battery electrolyte has many advantages in terms of device fabrication (facile shaping, patterning and integration), stability (non-volatile), safety (non-explosive) and excellent electrochemical properties (high conductivity and wide potential window)9, 10, 11.
MSE Supplies has special offering of Li10GeP2S12 powder with an Ionic Conductivity of 8.1 × 10−3 S/cm at room temperature.
MSE Supplies is a leading supplier of high quality anode, cathode and electrolyte materials for Lithium Ion Batteries research and manufacturing.

This doesn't look like a burnt out person to you, does it? Just another happy person at a fun party. That's what I thought too. I was too busy to bother with bathroom breaks or looking in the mirror very often, but I felt like things were going OK. At least, it seems I was doing a great job of keeping up appearances.
I have been a stressed out person and delinquent blogger for the past 3 weeks. Princess Lisa came to visit around Halloween and I had so much to tell you about…but I never got around to it because work became insanely busy. I've been prepping to host an event for a very persnickety and demanding client, and as that date drew closer, I was torn further and further away from the things I love: blogging, reading, exercise, good meals, good sleep. I'm happy to tell you that despite quite a few hitches along the way, the event went quite well, and in the eyes of my superiors, seems to be a career high for me, which is great. But for me personally, this joins the list of my "never again" health lows.
You know how when you read that a celebrity has been admitted to the hospital for exhaustion, and you roll your eyes and think "We're all exhausted, sweetie. Repping your perfume line can NOT be that hard. Get a life." Well, I thought it was ridiculous too, until this weekend. The week was jam packed and I was literally in charge of everything, running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I was operating completely on adrenaline, and it worked. But then Friday hit, and I had no more event to contend with and no more adrenaline available. And I felt like I got hit by a train. My heart was racing, I was dizzy, had a headache, breath was shallow. I was scared. My friends told me to eat, drink, and sleep, and I would get better, but I didn't. I was too tired to eat, too wired to relax, and so utterly exhausted, but I couldn't sleep. At 3am on Saturday morning, I got out of bed and drove myself to the hospital. Enough was enough.
I got stuck in a lovely bed beside some girl who was super high on mushrooms and wouldn't stop crying. That was great for my headache. But the doctor was very nice. They ran an ECG and all vitals on me and assured me that I wasn't dying; I just needed to get back to my regular routine. At 5 am they sent me home with some Ativan so I could sleep. I chugged a Powerade and took my pill and slept for five hours straight. It felt like heaven.
Looking back, I had been sleeping 2-4 hours per night for two weeks. I had been eating maybe 1000 calories a day, and most of them after 5pm. I had exercised twice in two weeks. What had happened to my life? My whole universe had changed in pursuit of appeasing others, and to what end? A very scary one, personally.
I know sometimes we get tired: tired of our jobs, tired of our kids, our work, our commitments, our workouts, our meal plans. And that is OK. It is OK to admit you are tired. And it is OK to ask for help. I didn't do either of those things and, in an attempt to look like some sort of office hero, put on a great show…but landed myself in the ER. I'm happy to say that with just that little bit of medication, some real rest, hydration, and food, I'm back to feeling like myself, and will be back to blogging soon. But take this as a real warning for yourselves: we all try to be superwoman and save the day…but don't forget to think about how far you will go before YOU need saving.
Princess Lindsey
