Real Life: Live & Unscripted

Encouraging Tuesdays #Selfie

 

I love instagram. Seriously. If you haven't followed Adrienne's Essentials on my Adrienne's Essentials Instagram ya need to do so lol. I show a little personal side of myself over there, but most of the time it's just pretty pictures :)

BTW, I did knit my scarf lol. The pattern is Gaptastic. I love it.

I took this picture yesterday after having a hard, hard, HARD day.  When I tell you I cried, cried, cried, prayed, cried then cried some more I did.

I've been doing a LOT of reflecting the past couple of months. Even more so the last few weeks. It has been pure insanity around these parts.

I talked to a friend the other morning (like when my phone rang at 7:25 am in MY time zone I was like whoaaa lol) and we talked for a couple of hours and it was just what I needed.

What I love about Singlema is that she keeps it totally 100% real. FOR REAL. Between her,Oldgirlladylee 

and blogless Lisa (Hey Boo! LOL) These ladies keep me on my toes.

Even though I talked to Singlema last week, something I went through yesterday made me think about ONE thing she said that really made me take pause," You can't fix everything Adrienne." Say WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT?!?!

I'm a perfectionist at heart. When I make a mistake, I'm angry and upset but mostly disappointed in myself. I really can't fix everything. Not at all. I do try but I'm trying harder to just do my best. Give it my all and be happy knowing that I did the best I could do.

I want to be the best wife, mom, friend that I can be. If I mess up along the way that's fine. No one is perfect. I did my BEST. That is all that counts.

I'm trusting God to give me the strength I need to walk though all these different situations that arise. He might not fix it right now, but He will give me the strength I  need to get through it :)

I've noticed over the past few weeks people will try to use what they think you want to see or hear to pacify a situation. I want to encourage ya'll, don't pacify the situation. Be honest and straight up about whatever is going on and tell the truth. Don't say what you think the other person wants to hear. Be honest. Because when the truth really does come out, it's just bad.

Alright, that's all I have for today.

Y'all be encouraged! I know I am :)

 

 

Modest is my style.

I was talking to a friend the other day and we started talking about clothing.

In today's society EVERYTHING is short and tight and just overly revealing.

I believe you can be sexy, trendy and fashionable without being half naked.

More and more women (not all) leave NOTHING to the imagination.  N O T H I N G.

IMO, there is a difference between something being SUPER tight and something fitting very well.

Some have said that I feel this way because I don't "have the body to show it off". I don't think so. I don't want to walk around with MY HUSBANDS BODY ON DISPLAY. I believe what the Bible says when it speaks of your body not being your own. But if that is what YOU want to do, then by all means, go ahead. It's just not MY thing.

That doesn't mean I'm going to walk around wrapped in a big blanket, nah. I just know I don't have to wear something super short and super tight to look cute.

This is MY opinion.

Between me talking with my friend and some of y'all emailing me and asking why I wouldn't show my mid-section when I posted this entry

kinda got the wheels turning. No I don't have stretch marks, I'm not ashamed of my body or anything like that it's just NOT me. But this is coming from someone who still says yes & no ma'am/sir, please & thank you and will NOT address a grown person by JUST their first name. I almost always put a handle on it.

Jaelyn can find clothing in stores pretty easy. Kayla on the other hand can not, she is tall and EVERYTHING is supershort. Now, I don't mind short dresses in the proper setting, but we were looking for her a dress for a church function and she can't wear over half of the stuff that is in stores to church. Even with leggings/tights if it's supposed to be a DRESS, it needs to be a dress. A lot of the dresses that she DOES buy she has to wear with leggings OR a pencil skirt. She wears them as tops lol. Yes she is THAT tall lol.

I ended up making her a dress and she loves it lol

Alright, that's all. Just a little something on my mind :)

Toodles!

Being your own boss...

 

I saw this quote on instagram a few weeks ago and it has truly stuck with me.

Having my own business and being my own boss is THE BOMB. Seriously, but as the quote states, it truly is a way of life.

I know some people think that having your own business, setting your own hours and all that stuff is wonderful and it is, but there is this discipline that goes along with that.

My brain hardly EVER turns off. I'm constantly working, but I enjoy what I do so it doesn't feel like work.

The best thing I could have EVER done was hire an accountant. I mean really. The only thing I don't like about all of this is all the paperwork that goes along with it. I'm very organized, I always have been but this takes it to a WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL. Yes, I said whole nother.

I don't do a whole lot of marketing. Most of my business comes from word of mouth. I work hard to  make sure what is coming out of peoples mouths is nothing but praise. Sure, there have been a couple of people who haven't been happy and that's fine. You truly can't please everyone and you also have to consider the source.

Every person that contacts me doesn't automatically become my client. NERP. When it comes to custom sewing, I just won't make any ole thing just to make some money. NERP. It's not about that for me (although the money is very good) I want you to look good in what you have made. It's my name and reputation on the line.

Even doing my photography, I don't accept every job. Some things I just don't want to be a part of or associated with. Not gonna happen.

My spa products? I don't go to just any event and set up my products. NOPE.

It's not hard being a business owner. It takes discipline and dedication. Most of the time you are the ONLY person doing everything. Thankfully I have a team of people who always help.

I couldn't do any thing that I do without God and my family. When I get SUPER busy they always step in. They see what needs to be done and they just do it. I'm blessed.

I have to balance my time. That can be hard sometimes but I get it done. I block off days where I don't work or even look at my work email, it's strictly about my family it works and it works well.

Don't think just because I mainly work from home (for now) that I have it easy.  Not really lol. I still have a "house" to run. Since I'm organized AND I have a great support system normally everything runs pretty smoothly.

You wouldn't know it looking at my house today because everything is in shambles lol. The entire family has been BUSY and we ALL took a few days off lol.

That's it. Just had that on my mind :)

Talk to ya in the comments!

Toodles!

 

I'm Glad...

• I'm glad my  relationship with God is back on track. He's always been there, I moved.
• I'm glad I have a kid that drives.
• I'm glad my husband supports everything I set forth to do.
• I'm glad I have a hot cup of coffee.
• I'm glad I don't have a day job where I can't dress like I want to.
• I'm glad I love to sew.
• I'm glad I have many options.
• I'm glad I have everything my heart desires.
• I'm glad my family is healthy.
• I'm glad my parents are still alive.
• I'm glad I have three brothers. THEY SPOIL ME lol.
• I'm glad I have common sense.
• I'm glad I stopped drinking sodas.
• I'm glad my daddy taught me not to be anybodys fool.
• I'm glad I know who I am. There was a time when I didn't.
• I'm glad my heater works.
• I'm glad I no longer live to please people.
• I'm glad I'm honest with ME.
• I'm glad I have blessed hands and I'm talented.

• I'm glad I can look back and see how much I've grown.
• I'm glad I have new scissors.

Ok that's it. Just had a case of the glads this morning. What are some things you are "glad" about?

Today you are YOU!

There is so much inspiration. It's everywhere you look.

I look at fashion a LOT. Magazines, pinterest, blogs it's everywhere.  I have to be mindful to always be ME. My character doesn't change. If it does, I hope its for the best.

When it comes to fashion and style I have to remain true to who I am, even though I'm changing.  I mentioned here that my trip to NY in August really caused me to see fashion and style in a whole new light. If you go through my album from this year you can see the change happen right before you eyes. I absolutely LOVE the new direction I've been taking and I'm having a good time with it all.

Back to the post though lol. It doesn't take a whole lot to pick up on what others do. ESPECIALLY  when you are looking at it daily. Inspiration is fine, but totally copying someone isn't. Just be you, but really I'm saying JUST BE ME. 

 

 I LOVE being inspired by someone or something. Taking something that someone else has made or purchased and I'll buy or make the same thing but it has a totally different look. THAT is inspiration. Even if I wear it the exact same way, my personality makes it different. I'm still me, I've just been inspired.

What I don't want to do is turn into the people I see (blogs, magazines, instagram, pinterest) everyday. I want to always remain ME. I want to be true to who I am and not let who/what I see change me into WHAT I see. Does that make sense? My logic may be a little different but I'm sure you get what I'm saying.

I've followed fashion bloggers for a LONG time then suddenly they look like another fashion blogger. EXACTLY like them. They talk/write the same, do everything the same. They have taken on the other persons personality. I stopped following them because they weren't who they used to be.

No matter what, I want to ALWAYS be Adrienne.

That's all :)

Go jump in a lake...or just take a swim.

Swimming is something that I've loved to do as long as I can remember.

I learned to swim as a child but not the traditional way. My dad threw my brother and I in the Warrior River and told us to have fun lol. My mom about stroked out so she made SURE to put us in swim classes after that.

After that incident she wanted to make sure we knew how to swim. We did great in the river. It was natural to both of us, thankfully.

Swimming is my favorite thing. It's my favorite type of exercise. It's the ONE thing that I can do and totally forget about anything and everything that's on my mind. I HAVE to focus on breathing.It's necessary. I listen to my breathing, I count my breaths. The higher my count goes it seems like the better I feel.

Before I realize it, the timer on my watch has gone off and I've reached my goal of 108 laps.

My mind is clear. I feel renewed. I'm focused and ready to face whatever is ahead. I'm also starving at this point lol

I took this picture on 9-3-13. It was the last day that the outdoor pool would be open. That's aways sad because I LOVE swimming so much but the indoor pool is my favorite because it's open all year long :)

Other than prayer, this is my favorite thing to do in order to clear my mind.

Before this date, I hadn't been swimming in a few weeks. I've been so busy.

I was walking around the house and I kept saying...I need to go swim. I need to swim. I need to swim. I stopped EVERYTHING. Didn't cook dinner, didn't check that last email, didnt' respond to that last text message.

I took a long swim.

So very glad I did.

What do you do to clear your mind?

 

Sooooooo....

A few of y'all asked me what I did for my birthday. Well, this was a different birthday for me.

I didn't want any of the normal fanfare.

In early September I knew I wanted to invite my firends and family to my church. I LOVE my church. LOVE it. The Word has totally changed my life. So I did just that.

This is the invite I sent out. You can click it to make it larger so you can read it.  I mailed out a good number and for everyone else I either tagged them  in the picture on FB or sent them an evite.

It was a beautiful service! I even had my good good blogger/real life friend come from Atlanta That

oldgirlladylee lol. . My parents were there. It was just great! I was super happy.  

A few of us went out to dinner at Gengis Grill and then we hit up Yogart Mountain. It was a great day indeed!! (That's my oldgirlladylee coming out lol)

This is the most memorable birthday I've had to date. Just beautiful.

Four books.

I love to read. This year has been different. I've been working more on my relationship with God so I haven't read as much as I normally do. I honestly just haven't had a desire to read anything.  I recently went to a huge library book sale and I took one in the bedroom but didn't get past the second page lol. I'm going to have to MAKE myself read lol.

Here are my favorite four books. Let's see if I can get it down to four lol.

Redeeming Love

I read this book I KNOW back in 2000??? Kayla was a little girl when I read it so I know it's been a GOOD ten years. This is STILL my all time favorite book. I STILL buy this book and I STILL read it and I end up telling someone about it and giving it to them.

32 Candles

This was my favorite book last year. AMAZING!!!! I look forward to more books by this author.

Didn't I feed You Yesterday

This was the most hilarious book ever. I LOVED it so much lol. One of the funniest things I've read in a LONG time lol

The Help

Have a good one!
Toodles!

I LOVE Sean Connery AND I love Nicolas Cage so this one just fits the bill lol.

Love Jones

Mannnn, NO WORDS NEEDED!!!!!! I want to go look at it right now lol.

I hate the term guilty pleasures. I mean, we all do what we want because we want to right? LOL

This one was actually hard because I don't have anything I consider a guilty pleasure, because I do what I want  lol.

Soooooooooooooo lol

1. That MTV show If you really knew me. It's SAD but it's good lol.

At first I thought I wanted an Infiniti QX56 but it's the EXACT same car just more expensive. I'll take the cheaper one for $500 Alex!

2. A Macbook Pro

1. I do NOT always clean up behind myself...immediately. I will make a mess and leave it until I feel like picking it up lol. I have an empty bowl right now on my night stand that had raisins in it lol. I had it last night. There is also a water bottle thats empty that I need to throw away lol.
2. I do not always go through my mail on time. Now, this has not been a real problem until the past few months. When Tony was in the hospital, I wasn't home to get the mail and when I did, I looked to see what needed my immediate attention. Everything else went into a stack. That stack is HUGE today. It's on my to do list for today.
3. I don't always check my email. If we are having a conversation, you are straight lol. If you send me something ummm. I kinda scan the sender and the subject line and answer accordingly. Lately I have been doing better.
4. I do NOT always put away my laundry lol. I have had laundry in a basket before that needed to be put up, and I just got things out of the basket as I needed it lol.
5. After I finish sewing, I don't always clean up all the mess that I've made...immediately lol. I'm so glad to be finished with a project I'll leave it until I get ready to start something else, BUT I can't start a new project if my studio is messy. Ever lol.
6. sometimes i ignore the kids when i know they aren't talking about anything. shhhhhhhhhhhhh. don't tell them because they think I'm listening lol.
7. I hit snooze WAAAYYYYYY too many times in the morning. WAY too many times lol.
   

Day 3 - Wrath

Seven things that piss you off.

1. People who lie to make themselves look better. OMG, telling HALF truths is just as bad as not telling the WHOLE truth. I won't keep typing because I'm getting pissed.
2. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Seriously. HOW HARD IS IT TO DO? If you don't mean it, don't say it. Simple.
3. People who break promises. All three of these go hand in hand. But don't PROMISE me something, and you not follow through. SMH.
4. People who mistreat people. I hate to see a good kind hearted person get mistreated or taken advantage of. Hate it.
5. Some of the women sports casters on ESPN. DRIVE ME BATTY!

7. BUGS. Thats why I have a cat. Wall-E kills ANYTHING that moves.

Day 2 - Envy

Seven things you lack and covet:

1. Having a  sister. I've ALWAYS wanted a sister. I LOVE all my brohters,but I've always wanted a sister. Someone to tell my secrets to, someone to laugh with, to put on makeup with, to go shopping with. To be my best friend. My sister. *sigh*
2. People who can draw. I can't draw to save my life lol.
3. Applying makeup. I know it sounds trivial, but I just can NOT get it right. Always looks crazy to me, BUTTTT I'm working on that lol. I used to model and I could do it flawlessly...NOW? Not so much lol. I do okay, but I want it to be POW! LOL
4. Women with perfect boobs. Yes boobs lol. If I could change ONE thing about myself it would be my boobs lol. Now leave me alone lol.

3. My smile. I think it's beautiful :)
4. I'm silly, but not a clown lol. There IS a difference. We can share many a laughs together.
