Pinterest Coveting

To say Pinterest is an obsession of mine, would be an understatement. So much on there to love. DIY ideas, inspiration for home decorating, tutorials on hair and nails, style, etc etc etc...L.O.V.E. love.

I've found some things recently that I'm coveting. And as soon as that summer school paycheck comes in...I might be splurging on some recent loves I found:

iPhone case and money/card holder...inspiration found here

Chanel lipstick "Coco Shine #56"...Pinterest inspiration found here

Striped maxi dress with a cut-out in the back. Super breezy and adorbs for summer. Pinterest inspiration found here

Herb cutters. This seriously would save me SO much time in the kitchen! I hate chopping. Pinterest inspiration found here

These shoes from Bebe. Obsessed. Pinterest inspiration found here

Frayed bikini - in teal. I would be outside every single day if I owned this. Every. Day. Pinterest inspiration found here

Debating getting my first tattoo. I love Infinity signs, and I'm always working on hope and a prayer, so I found this picture on Pinterest and have been debating going for it! ...Pinterest inspiration found here

Anyone else obsessing with Pinterest? Have you found anything I should be re-pinning? :)

G.I. Jane(t)

My mom decided to not wait until the chemotherapy took her hair. She decided to be in control. She knew she was going to lose it anyways, as the A/C drug causes hair loss in every person that has done that therapy. She knows that cancer does not define her, it does not control her life, it does not take away her happiness, hope, faith, strength, or will to live a full life. She knows that it didn't take her breast either. It took over her breast, but it was HER choice to take away the breast. Not cancer's.

My mom knows that cancer is not in control. She knows that God is in control, and here on earth, she has the means and tools to carry out God's plan, which is to never let evil win.

So here we are, just our little family of 4, gathering together to take control, and support our very own G.I. Janet.

I could explain the "shaving event," but my mom did it oh so perfectly and beautifully on her own blog. So please click HERE to read it.

I truly, honestly believe that she looks way sexier without hair (is that inappropriate to say of my mother? Too bad, it's true.) I think she looks tough. So badass. She beat cancer to the punch with this one. Remember that G.I. Jane movie with Demi Moore? The one where she just kicks guys asses? Well, in my real world, cancer is the guys in that movie, and my mom, Janet, is G.I. Jane. I call her that and she rolls her eyes at me. Oh well, I love her, and I love her new look, not only because it shows her immense strength, but because it shows that the chemo is working, and she is closer to defeating cancer.

We will conquer cancer. We will kick it's ass. We will continue to surround our G.I. Janet with love and prayer. We will continue to do good, because despite all the bad going on in life, it's the GOOD that will prevail. And our G.I. Janet is good. So so good. :)

So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.  ~1 Peter 4:19
