My First Garden

April 20, 2015

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Did you ever in a million years think you’d see a post titled My First Garden on my blog?!  Haha!  Yes, it’s true!  I have wanted to have a garden my whole life.  I’ve always had the thought in my head but never followed through.  Well, this past weekend I planted my first garden and I am so excited and happy about it.  I’m probably not going to feed my family from this small garden.  However, I will be so proud and satisfied when I can go outside and pick the things that I’ve grown.

I did a little bit of research and decided to start with a small raised garden in a sunny spot in my backyard.  My husband and i purchased the raised garden at Home Depot.  It was very simple to put together but was probably not necessary.  I’m sure I could have put together some wood trim myself instead of buying the kit.  My daughter helped me with this project and we enjoyed the experience.  We even beat the storms that arrived a few hours later which our newly transplanted fruits and veggies appreciated, I’m sure.

We built our raised garden bed and filled it with an organic mix.  We conveniently installed it right next to a sprinkler.

I purchased a cherry tomato plant in a container a few weeks ago and it has been flourishing.  I’ve visited the plant and all of the tomatoes on it daily, sometimes several times a day as if they’ll ripen before my eyes.  This weekend I decided to purchase two mature strawberry plants and five cucumber plant seedlings.  We’ll see how it goes.  I will definitely update you again as my garden continues to grow.

The finished project

I guess I now have one more item checked off my bucket list.  I’m trying hard to not put off until tomorrow what I can do today.  Do you remember that quote?

    That’s so great you planted your first garden! I’m sure it will be so rewarding when you can eat some of the yummy goodies you are growing! Can’t wait to see how it grows. Maybe a picture each week?!

I am so blessed and so thankful for the wonderful women I have met through the #omaginsiders (brand ambassadors for The Oprah Magazine). I was recently notified that I was just renewed for my 4th term.💗💗⠀
⠀
These ladies inspire me every single day to be a better me. And for that I am forever grateful!⠀

Cheers to the 20th anniversary of The Oprah Magazine in 2020. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for everyone.⠀

Instagram post 18084186709140860 The Dermstick for Pores was formulated by Dr. Schultz to decrease the appearance of pores. It contains a proprietary blend of ingredients that have proven results on 100% of people who participated in a clinical trial. Pretty impressive!! Dermstick in used in conjunction with your regular skincare products. It’s only applied to the areas with enlarged pores.

I’ve been using this for about 6 weeks and there’s definitely a visible improvement. Go to the @beautyrx website for more info on this product as well as many others that can improve every aspect of your skin’s appearance. Are you looking to improve your skin? #prsample
Instagram post 17868177487550527 The holiday season is in full swing...⠀
⠀
Do you gift yourself during the holidays? I always seem to pick up things for myself when I'm shopping for others. I recently purchased this gorgeous set from It Cosmetics for under $40 on QVC. They have the best value sets, especially on beauty products.⠀
⠀
This is the Naturally Pretty Lip and Cheek Holiday set. It has 3 products that are perfect for everyone.⠀
⠀
1. Blurred Lines Smooth Fill Lipstick⠀
2. Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Serum⠀
3. CC+ Ombre Radiance Blush⠀
⠀
These are all repurchases for me, so that should tell you something about the quality of these products. I linked the set on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app. Follow me there as I try to post links to the products that I love.

Instagram post 17878236964470394 Do you ever take a leap outside of your comfort zone? Afterwards you look back and wonder what you were so worried about, right?! ⠀
⠀
I said yes to recording a podcast with a friend who wanted me to give tips on beauty and skincare for busy moms. I’m obviously passionate about the topic and maybe even a little obsessed. ⠀
⠀
All that worry about recording was for nothing. Everything went great and the podcast is now live! You can go to my blog to listen. ⠀
⠀
How often do you do things out of your comfort zone?
Instagram post 18013091887259196 I’m so happy to have been introduced to Mr. Incredible! ⠀
⠀
My hair is thick, wavy and gets frizzy really easily. I recently bought this leave-in conditioner when I had a blowout at Drybar.⠀
⠀
It keeps my hair smooth and frizz free and that makes me very happy!😁⠀
⠀
Have you tried this or do you have another powerhouse hair product that I need to try?
