My Concealed Carry Class...uh oh! haha

To carry a gun or not to carry a gun...that is the question! Hey..I'm not sayin' I'm packin and I'm not sayin' I'm not, but if I was, I need to know all of the rules and rigors of how to and when it's ok.

So, I decided that I should take the CC class..and let me tell ya...8 hours straight for 2 days is like death for a person like me. lol. I'm sitting there thinking of when I can eat, where can I get my next cup of coffee and scanning the room and trying to figure out all these people around me.. it's a rough life.


But all in all I am happy I did it. Because now I feel that I have the know-how to protect my family if ever needed (not only do they teach about guns..but also general self defense and signs for weirdos..)! I really enjoyed it and knowing that the class was taught by a VERY knowledgable person helped even more.


So don't mess with this Chicka because I'm a tough cookie!....

Turquoise Makes Everything Better!!

I Love Turquoise!! :-)

Whether it's turquoise jewelry or accessories that are the color turquoise I'm in heaven! I think it the new black..haha. Being from New Mexico I am submersed in a culture that loves turquoise jewelry, but suprisingly I see few of my peers wearing it. It seems to be more my mom and dads generation, which is Great for me because it's passed on to me.



My advice: pair one thing turquoise with neutral colors and it really makes your outfit POP! Today I wore a simple black and white polka-dot dress with a chunky turquoise necklace and a black purse. It was just enough color to really make my outfit schnazzzzzzy! :-)

Look at Eva Mendez rockin' that Awesome turquoise necklace!!


Other good ideas: a turquoise or teal purse, shoes, earrings or even some teal eyeshadow to really make your eyes pop. Pair ONE colored accessory with your neutral outfit and you're done!





Find some great buys of solid color turquoise or teal and then try some of these pairing ideas and I promise you'll be turning some heads in no time with your Turquoise fashion! :-) Happy hunting!
