Hello Everyone! What a crazy week! I just want to thank everyone again for all of the love and support in the passing of my Grandpa! Yesterday was his funeral. He received a beautiful military ceremony with a final resting place of peace within a military cemetery that is breathtaking. During the ceremony, a couple of birds flew into the pavilion. With the beautiful sunny day and slight breeze, the temperature was perfect and it was a very comforting setting surrounded with loved ones. One of the birds rested on a bar above the casket and I thought it was almost like a sign or something, as it caught my eye. It actually had a nest there that it flew to and stayed there for the rest of the service for our family. With so many people around, I was surprised it felt so comfortable in there.
Later, my Mom reminded me how when we were little, that my cousins and I would call my Grandpa, Grandpa Birdie. He actually would whistle like a bird too. I can't believe I forgot that. Of course, being so young and as time passes by, it's not until events like this that you start to think and really remember. I have to say what a perfect closure that was to saying goodbye to him. It may have just been a coincidence, but I love to think of myself as very intuitive and in touch with nature. I am constantly amazed by this world and the nature within it. It makes me appreciate these little types of moments and signs like this, and I will always cherish them when the coincide.
I also wanted to explain part of why I've been MIA lately! I was offered a position downtown (Chicago) and will be starting in a couple weeks! It is an incredible opportunity and I am looking forward to the change in atmosphere, both in business and location. Since I had been interviewing a lot, it made it difficult to keep up on everything. I know I still have A TON to do, so I apologize for the delay, but thank everyone for being SO extremely patient with me. It means a lot to me to have the support.
I'll be going from an Executive Assistant to a Legal Staff Accountant. I'm excited to join a law firm and experience that aspect of business. I know that my transition will be a lot of work as I adjust, so I ask for more patience (I know, I know, I have been asking for that for a while now). I do really appreciate it though and do have a current giveaway (Enter HERE!) and a couple more coming soon! I just want to thank you all for sticking by me and hope that you'll stay for a while as I figure things out. My hope is that while commuting on the train, I'll be able to blog and work on social media before and after work :-) It will be an extra 2-3 hours of commuting, while I previously only worked about 5 minutes from home! haha! Crazy, I know, but how else do you think I got my blog name? hehe
So how about some swatches? I know it's been a while, so I have a bunch of stuff from Disturbing Potions to show you! Some was for review, but I also love to buy polish and lotions!! Annette, the owner, is fantastic! She offers great stuff for great prices! You can shop with her at http://disturbingbehavior.net/. She is also on Instagram and regularly updates information there - @playwanet. She sells lots of polish (naughty names) and amazing lotions! Polish + Lotion = Potions ;-)
