A pretty bicycle picture and random thoughts from the week....

It is disturbing to me how few people actually wash their hands after going to the bathroom.  Everyone does know that soap is required, right?  And you have to do more than just a quick splash of water.  I mean, why even bother if that's all you're going to do?  You're just wasting paper towels at that point.

I think the open hearts collection from Kay jewelry would be better named the boobs and butt collection.  Sorry Dr. Quinn, that's what it looks like to me!

So glad I don't have to listen to Brooke Burke ask anyone "How does it feel?" for a while.

Is it weird that during savasana last night at yoga, all I could think about is how hilarious it would be to sit up and scream a horror movie worthy scream, just to watch people jump and scare the crap out of them?   Am I the only one who thinks things like that?

At 4:00 on Wed. I went to the bathroom and saw while washing my hands what appeared to be a large mole peaking out from underneath my v-neck.  Shocked, I investigated, only to discover it was a melted mini chocolate chip from some trail mix that I ate.  As a mid morning snack.  Yes, apparently I had been walking around with chocolate smeared all over myself all day.  No wonder I kept smelling chocolate!

Oh boy, it's been a crazy, awesome, wonderful, busy week!


My head is spinning a little with the amount of orders that have come in through our Etsy store this week!  Holy cow!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!


I now have 10 gift boxes, 8 piggy banks, 6 santa plates, 3 popcorn bowls, and a partridge in a pear tree to paint this weekend!  I'm still accepting orders too.  Only 3 plates left!  Get 'em while the gettin's good!


Needless to say, I'll be painting most of the weekend.  I plan on having some Christmas movies in the background.  I also still need to order my Christmas cards!  Eeek! 

What are you guys up to this weekend?  Whatever it is, I hope you have a great one!

Oh, and in case you missed it yesterday, make sure you check out my Legxicon review and take advantage of the promo code for 40% off your order with them!  Just enter jdavispromo at checkout!

Have a great weekend! 

Legxicon Review and Special Offer...

I don't know about you guys, but I love me some leggings and cute tights!  I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to review some products from Legxicon.  Their selection is huge, and with all the options, it was difficult to narrow down what to add to my wardrobe!  I eventually came to terms with it, and decided on a pair of leggings and two pairs of tights.
My selection was shipped quickly to me, and I couldn't wait to wear them, especially once I saw how pretty they all were!  I was also impressed immediately at the quality.  I could tell by looking at them that they were made well. 

First off, I broke out the Riyo Leggings.  {Mine are grey, not black.}  I paired them with my trusty basic black skirt, a green shirt, black sweater and my green shoes.  So comfy and cute.  I love the ruching on the side.  It adds just a touch of flair without going overboard.  These are serious keepers.

Next I wore the fun Jungle Patterned Tights with the same black skirt and my ankle boots.  I kept the rest of my outfit pretty bland, since these tights make a big statement!  They are super fun!

Finally, I wore my Lilli Ann Patterned Tights with a pocketed black skirt, black tee and sweater and black heels.  These tights are so pretty!

I'm a pretty conservative dresser, and truthfully, have been trying not to buy clothes for a long time.  I'm always looking for ways to spruce up an old outfit, or add some flair to basics.  Fun tights and leggings are a great way to do that! 

Okay, are you ready for the best part?  For one week, Legxicon is offering you, the readers of my blog, 40% off your entire order!  Seriously ladies, this is a great deal!  If you're a legging or tights girl, you've got to head over and check out their selection!  They also have a great selection of stockings and socks. 

To take advantage of their generous offer of 40% off, just enter jdavispromo at checkout.

This offer will be good for one week from today, so don't procrastinate!

***Also, they've just launched a promotion where you can refer a friend and get a $10 credit when they make a purchase of $20 or more!  {The promo code from my blog is completely separate though, dang it! ;)   But you guys should make sure to refer your friends too, so you can get even more deals!}

Santa's elves are biz-zay!

from the movie Elf...one of my favories!

Hi guys!  How's everyone doing this fine hump day?

If you're visiting from Campfire Chic, Welcome!  So glad you're here!  I hope you'll stick around so we can be bloggy friends.  Leave me a comment so I can come visit you too! {Campfire Chic posted the sweetest write up on me this morning...awe, shucks!  ;)  Thanks Kam!}

I hope you all went to check out FENNOfashion yesterday.  What did you think?  Pretty awesome, right?   If you missed yesterday's post take a moment and go visit...you won't be disappointed! 

I have been thrilled to get a good number of orders lately from my Etsy store, and have been workin' my tail off!  As of right now, I have three four piggy banks, and three santa plates to paint this weekend, and I'm hoping for more.  I've got an email into my piggy bank source to see if I can get more quickly, as my stock is dwindling fast.  November was a record breaking month for jdavissquared, and we couldn't be happier!  Thank you to all of you who have supported us and spread the word about our little shop!  We love you!

If you're thinking of placing an order, don't procrastinate...I have a tentative cutoff date for painted items for Christmas of next Friday the 10th.  I'll have to re-evaluate sometime next week.  {although, I'm always willing to work with people, so convo me if I can help!}

Tomorrow, I have a review scheduled for you, and a GREAT OFFER!  Seriously, you're not gonna want to miss this one!

If you have an Etsy store, how's your season going?   If not, how's your shopping going?  

And, just for fun....what's your favorite holiday movie?

I have three, and I must watch them every year!  Chrismas Vacation, Elf, and A Christmas Story.  ;)
{fun fact: That elf just to the right of Will Ferrell in the photo is Peter Billingsley, a.k.a. Ralphie from a Christmas Story!}
