Spotlight Sunday- Jacinda (Sugarbabe Edition)
This week we’ll be spotlighting SugarBabe Jacinda!!
Selfies
I kind of dreaded this post, because I’m really not one for taking selfies. I keep saying I’ll get in front of the camera more, but while the idea sounds good in theory, actually doing it is still hard for me.
Fav layouts
It’s always hard choosing favourites because I think each new layout becomes my new fav. I chose All Aboard because I rarely do extractions, and this one actually turned out pretty good for my niece. Just Be Brave: I love this photo of my girls. They had their hair curled for the first time and I think they looked amazing. I also loved the kit with the richness of colour. Happiness: Simple blocking, beautiful colours and a great photo of my girls and their best friends. Looking at this page just makes me happy. Elisa: I love doing journal heavy pages of my girls. I love looking back and reading their comments, and this page turned out particularly well with the filmstrip theme and bright colours.
SSD products
I adore Janet’s templates. I use her products a lot because they allow me to scrap quickly and cleanly, while still allowing room to be creative and get all clustery if I want. This particular set I used to scrap our Australia trip in October, and I was able to get 16 pages done in just a day or two.
KCB’s kits are always beautiful, but this one is my new fav. I love the rich colour palette, and her flowers and greenery are always amazing.
School kits are one of my favourite themed kits, and this new one by Yari had me at Hello. I can see lots of pages scrapped with this one.
Jenn’s stitches are my go to whenever I want to add a little something extra to my layouts. I have several of her packs, but his one is the one I use most.

USA trip
The last time I was in the States, I was 10 years old, so I was stoked to have the opportunity to return 30 years later. My husband had a work conference in Tampa in May, and I got to accompany him for 2 weeks. We had an amazing holiday, and I got to meet scrap friends Jenn, Juli, Stacey, Lydia and Aly for the first time. For the second half of our trip, hubby went on work visits with his boss while I flew north and stayed with Lydia in Salt Lake City. I got to visit Temple Square and see the Latter-Day Saint Temple and surrounding buildings, which was a very surreal and beautiful experience. We met back up in LA and flew home together. This was our first ever trip away with out the kids, and while we had a great time, coming home to our girls was the real highlight.

My focus
My family of course. I am so blessed to have these amazing people in my life. Raising our girls to be kind, thoughtful, well rounded members of society is a conscious effort and we do our best to prepare them for success and shower them with unconditional love.
Books: I love reading. I can lose myself in a book for days. These are just my latest favs. Fantasy Sci-fi is my preferred genre but I’ll read most anything.
Getting healthy: I’ve started a healthy eating plan and exercise routine this month with Miss Fitness Life. Meal and exercise plans are provided, and there is great support in the online forums. It’s been a long time coming, and I’m enjoying feeling healthier and working my way to increased fitness again.
Essential oils: This is a new obsession for me. After finding out about Young Living oils through a friend, I ordered some and tried them out. They are amazing! Now instead of giving my family medication when they’re ill, we mostly use essential oils. My girls love Lavender on the bridge of their nose to get rid of a runny nose and Thieves for sore throats. Peppermint has helped my headaches and any stomach problems, and hubby swears by the Deep Relief blend for sore muscles. I use Lemon and Grapefruit in my drinking water to aid metabolism and help with detox, and I use lavender and frankincense in my facial care routine. I’m still new to oils, but what I’ve used so far has impressed me so much I know this is just the beginning.

Well I guess that’s about enough from me. I hope you enjoyed getting to know me a little better.
