Married with friends

Now that I am married, it seems like my whole life is in renewal; and it feels that the more I resist this change, the more painful the process becomes. I wonder if this is what a butterfly goes through, and is the chrysalis just a beautiful torture chamber? Being someone who likes to maintain a constant state of complete control over every aspect of my life, on a visceral level this kind of chaos nauseates me, and in the past the anxiety that would result would make me go a little crazy!

Over time, however, I have learned to let the universe take the wheel and enjoy the ride (and hope that my eventual destination is the one I intended/desired).  People that I thought were like family and would be friends for life are simply people in my life. While that is a bitter pill to swallow, nonetheless having a great husband seems to make anything more palatable, so it's going down.  I guess getting married put it all into proper perspective. The most important person in my life is my husband, everything else is at best a distraction and at worst a disappointment. I see now why I would always lose friends when they got married. The universe forces you to change everything (even in the Khaluaverse).  

My April Fools Day is over and now it’s existential tax time, so every single one of my friendships is going through an audit. I need a new social circle, one that supports me as a happily married woman.  It’s called “growth,” and even though the growing pains may suck at first, inevitably the results they yield are for the better. We have a trip to Jamaica coming up in the next  few weeks.  I'm looking forward to this vacation because I only know 2 people going.  It's the perfect opportunity to form new healthy relationships as a married couple. I feel it's very important in marriage to have friends that didn't know us apart.

Having a Psychic helps!


I have been going to a psychic for about 2 years and it's been the best thing ever. My psychic is 81 years old and the sweetest person I've ever met.  I knew a friend that used her for years before I started  and that friend seemed to have all the luck.  
I finally got my invite and she has been instrumental in my learning to trust my own intuition.  She told me I met my husband 9 days after I met him.  Warned me about things in work. How to give bad news the best.  She helps me to avoid drama and predict baby's.  She knows about those babies.  
She has been repeatedly on TV making amazingly right predictions.  I think everyone needs someone that can tap into their energy and help them make tough dicisions decisively. 

So how does it work?
 First, I get my palm read. Next, is the tarot cards. Finally, I make a wish and there are 3 piles of different tarot cards, these are numbered cards, the top 3 cards make my lucky numbers, each pile represents a situation, pick the situation I like most and then find out when the wish will come true.  After all that she answers specific questions.  

I have been teased by some people that think she is fake, a witch, or demonic of some sort.  This is not my religion in any way!  I know she does consider this her religion or consider herself Wiccan or pagan.  I think she could be considered a therapist.  I've never had someone talk about going to therapy and have people say, "Your therapist is fake." If it's helping then negative opinions should be kept quiet.  

The last comment I get often is I'm crazy for believing in psychics.  I guess the best part about being crazy is you never know. So we have to go with ignorance is bliss on this one.

Spring Lust List

I recently got a new convertible.  I bought it during the winter so I have not really had my chance to a enjoy the fun of the drop top.   The spring lust list is all about what will look good in my super cute car. 
This bag is my new must have!! I think it will tide me over until I can get my birkin money saved. $2500


What is a convertible without the shades and scarf to blow fashion in the wind. 





These earrings are so cute. Not what I normally go for but timeless and cute.

This nurturing body cream melts into skin to help leave it deeply moisturised, smoothed, supple and rejuvenated. Sensual Ylang Ylang and Jasmine nourish and condition while Wild Yam and Soya Bean Oil stimulate natural collagen to help firm and smooth.

I LOVE Venus Freeze

Venus Freeze works by incorporating Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Magnetic Pulsed Fields into one device and delivering it safely and effectively to the patient.

Skin tightening, wrinkle reduction and cellulite reduction occur because the multi-polar radio frequency causes a thermal reaction in the tissue which stimulates the body`s natural healing response. That restoring response causes new collagen to form, and the production of new elastin fibres. The active collagen in the skin contracts, causing skin to look and feel firmer and the elastin fibers unravel making the skin appear more elastic.

I found out about Venus after I got engaged.  I needed to make some quick extra money for the wedding so I got a second job just for 6 months.   I'd never heard of it and the people in the office did not have the right entusiasium to make me believe in it right away.  I didn't care at first, I was there for my wedding.  After 2 months of going on the journey with my first patient, I was a believer!  I immediately started treatments on my face. The Venus tightened and smoothed my face back to the way it was when I was 18.  


My favorite patient allowed me to blog her transformation.  She had back rolls and was married to spanx.  After 12 treatments of Venus she no longer wears spanx at all!! 


I love the fact it does not hurt, no cuts, and no down time or restrictions.  I doubt I'll ever get a facelift now that Venus is in my life. I can get one treatment every other month to maintain the results.  Forget forever 21 I'm forever 18. 

I am still working at Sono Bello Atlanta because I love Venus and I can't let go of the access.  I'm completely hooked!

Aura

 An aura is a field of subtle, luminous radiation surrounding a person or object. The depiction of such an aura often connotes a person of particular power or holiness. 
I don't see them very often but when I do it's special. 
The first time I saw one I was 17 and I snuck into The Gold Club with Jimmy the Greek.  We were VIP and I had only one request, introduce me to the girl on the VIP card in the blue bikini.  I found out her name was Baby.  Baby was the most beautiful human being I had ever laid my eyes on.  When she walked into the room she was glowing blue, her hair was huge beautiful curls and everything she touched was glittery.  I was convinced fairies were real and I wanted to be one.  We crossed pathes a little later and became the closest of friends. 

The next time I saw one I was 21 and I got a job where you had to shadow someone to learn the job.  There was this tall, red head, girl that wasn't my buddy but all night she was glowing a bright white.  It felt as if she was walking back and forth off in the distance.  At the end of the night she walked right up to me and said, "Hi, I'm Amber! Do you want to come over my house and hang out?" 
I kinda wondered if she thought I was glowing too? I went over her house, we told each other our whole life stories, fell in love and when the sun came up swore to being best friends forever. She has been so special to me.  We can be apart for years and we pick up just like no days have past.  We are a love at first sight best friends story.  

The third, most current time I've seen one was when I met my now husband. He was meeting me for a quick drink to test the chemistry between us. It was a super casual meeting at my night job.  I was away from the store when he arrived and when I was walking back he was standing in front of the door dimly glowing yellow or a light golden color.  Our meeting was soo familiar, we danced, laughed and I fell inlove right then.  After he left my co-worker asked me what I thought about him and I told her, "I think I just met my husband."

First purchase together


I won't embarrass myself and show you the before couches, but we were in desperate need of a furniture facelift.  My condo was on the 29th floor, amazing view and very modern. I did not focus on furniture and decorating the condo because I knew it would be too hard to leave if it was perfect, it was too small to be anything but a bachelorette pad. 

It's been about 12 years since I last couch shopped and when I did it last time it was all alone.  As a married couple we went to By Design, my favorite store in my budget, and picked our top 3.  The next day I went shopping and found a more expensive better couch. 


My accountant husband immediately fell inlove with the top pick from the first store and gave me orders to go buy the original less expensive couch. Sometimes you need to show them how good of a deal you have. 😉 I'm so glad we went with the brown leather. It's the leather version of the couch we had.  


Doing these things as a couple makes me feel like a grown up.  I love consulting with my husband. I love that he pays even more!  He has made sure to make me happy in every way.  I swear marriage is a hard decision but when you find the guy it's the best thing ever.
