The vivid hues of our Velvet Toss Pillows offer an affordable way to add punch to your pad. Grab a variety of colors or stick with your favorites and disperse throughout the living room, bedroom or home office for comfy splashes of style. Removable, machine washable cover makes each pillow both kid...

Cant beat the price

Pros: Comfortable, Attractive Design

Cons: Not super durable, Collects Dust

Best Uses: Decoration

Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper

These throw pillows are versatile and I love the color options. The material looks great against all fabrics. One of my pillows got a seem rip on the 1st day and they show fuz/dust etc pretty easy...other then that, I'm happy with my purchase

My Dad is Rad #justsayin

Bobby Valdez was the first skater to pull off what is now called a "hand

plant" in contest...

As stated by T-Bone Photography "At the time it
was sort of a revolutionary move
that changed skateboarding as we
knew it back in 1978."

Makes me proud to know that my dad made a mark in skate history...

GO DAD! :)

Call it what you want to call it...

...big baby...mushy...or whatever...

I've unleashed some serious thunderstorm style tears in the last week. I can say with 100% certainty that they are in relation to positive happenings. I am blessed and so fortunate to have amazing people in my life.

I guess you could say most have been tears of relief {let's call them happy tears}. Either way, I am at an amazing point in my life and my dreams are coming true one day at a time, thank you Lord.

Life is what we make it...we are the company we keep...all things happen for a reason...and we get broken only to be built stronger.

I love my life and the people in it.

God Bless!

Good Reads

More often then not, I find myself reaching for a book when the PJ's are on and Ive tucked myself (and the pups) into bed, usually around 11:30. At this time of day, my retention level to anything is pretty much obsolete given the 10-11 hour work day {Summer, meet Hamster Wheel} and quite frankly, my brain is shot. However, there are a handful of 'good reads' that have managed to capture my interest while I dive into the pages of their stories.

These are a few of the 'easy reads' that I enjoy when its time to relax my mind.
