Thoughtful Thursday
What are your Core Values?
I'm sure someone has asked you,"what are you going to do with your life?"
The great question, "What are you going to do with your life?"
Most common answer... "UM, I don't really know at this moment. Maybe get a job, make some money, get married etc"
Now, how many times has someone asked you, "what makes you, YOU?"
Wowzers, do people even talk about that kind of stuff.
I think people are afraid to ask that question, because they aren't sure themselves about what they want to do!
So I am now asking you, "what makes you, YOU?"
"What are your Core Values?"
Wait, what are Core Values?
I like to look at someone's Core Values as a road map to life.
Example, if you are extremely creative you might not want to work with the IRS, or if you are super social and good with people you might not want to be a field researcher in the dessert, or if you are really brainy and great at science you might not want to be a semstress. Get my drift?
So, when we can define ourselves and who we want to be it makes your path that much straighter.
Knowing who you helps you to know what you want and where you want to go.
So take the time today and write out your Core Values.
I recommend choosing 5 Core Values.
Write them out on a piece of paper and tape it to your bathroom mirror. Remind yourself everyday of who you want to be. Change starts with you and you have THE power to make big changes in your life. Just take the time to get to know yourself and who you are.
Have a beautiful day!

In a 5 quart pan heat up the olive oil. Once heated add chopped onions and garlic and cook for 10 mins. Add the Tomato puree and milk. Let heat for about 2 mins. Add chopped basil and then blend with the blender till the mixture is extremely smooth. Let stay on stove with lid coverd on Low for 10 mins.
How to (Grilled cheese croutons):
Make grilled cheese on skillet. Transfer the grilled cheese to the cookie sheet lined with baking paper and cut into one inch cubes. Cook in the stove at 350 degrees for 10 mins. Take out and enjoy! Serve on the side or in the soup!

How will you spend Valentines day!
(you know it's not just for couples right?)
I think Valentines day has to be one of my favorite holidays of the year. I know people say that it was created by the greating card companies, but when you think about it what holiday isn't just a day to do something special. Which is why I love Valentines day, what a great idea to spend a day celebrating love.
We still have a little time to plan for Valentines day, so how will you spend it? Who will you spend it with?
Here are some interesting links to help get you started:
- Here are some cute homemade ideas
- Just incase you're single try some of these ideas!
- It's fun to celebrate holidays, but it makes it even cooler to know the history behind them
- If you want some inspiration for that valentines style check out this blogger!
- Here is a great gift to keep anyone warm and cozy at night
- YES PLEASE!!!!! Cute make-up for the date night!
Need a cute idea for Valentines day? Try this super cute nail polish idea.
Just give yourself a french manicure and on one nail (I choose the pointer finger) take the tip of a mechanical pencil dip it in the red and make two dots on top and bring the paint together in a point at the bottom. It's super easy and it is understated. Make sure to let the paint dry all the way before you put the top coat on.
Just in case you were wondering I love ciate nail polish in budoir!
(so worth money, the polish lasts forever! It only takes about one coat too!)
I hope that you are having a wonderful Tuesday! Do something great today! Make today count, and really go out of your way to be nice, eat healthfully or just make an awesome dinner for tonight! Remember, Tuesday, January 29th will never ever happen again, make the day last!
