like mother, like...dog?

Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm pretty obsessed with my Jack Russell, Izzy.  Izzy is four and I've had her since she was about two months old.  Shes been the most loyal friend I've ever had and really is like my child.  We have both literally grown up together, learned life lessons, and gone through hardships. 

Izzy is quite stubborn at times.  Sometimes when shes doing something "bad" I have to tell her five times to stop before she will actually listen to me.  This made me think about the similarities between Izzy's personality and my own. (Haha)  Sometimes I think she got her personality from me.  We are both outgoing but guarded. We are clumsy, energetic, and love to have fun and play.  We both love to spend time outside, exercise, and snuggle.  We are also both very stubborn, and will do something even when people say we shouldn't or can't.  Most importantly, we both have huge hearts.

I've heard that dogs and owners sometimes look similar (which is not really the case with me and Iz) but I haven't really read anything about dogs and their owners having the same personality characteristics.  Although, when I started to think about it, I seem to be finding it true in cases other than myself and Izzy.  My boyfriend and his dog act very similarly, (very sweet and laid back) and my brother and our blonde lab Sarge have some of the same personality characteristics as well. (Not liking change)

Hmm.. any thoughts?

Just for fun, here are some pics I found of owners and their dogs that really do look alike :)  I wonder how their personalities match up?

Garden Bliss

A couple of weeks ago the boyfriend and his parents planted some beautiful flowers in our not so beautiful garden. This is the first year I've lived in my own house, so I was very excited about planting a lots of colorful flowers.  Unfortunately, I was sick when they came to help, so no planting for me, but I'm really enjoying maintaining the garden and watching it grow everyday.  Maybe next year I'll even grow some veggies! Here are some pictures from our little garden..

       

I love watering with my little watering can! Who needs the hose!

DBMB's Last Sample Item - The Piece of My Heart Necklace

The Piece of My Heart Necklace was the last piece I ordered for my sample selection and I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much.  It was kind of just an add on piece I threw in at the last minute. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find how well it was made and how much I loved it.  (I really did find an amazing wholesaler!) This necklace quickly became my ultimate favorite piece out of the whole sample package.  It's simple, but interesting, and adds a lot of "bling" to any outfit. 

As always, comments and critiques are always welcome!

DBMB 's "Spring Has Sprung" Sample Ring!

I've been slacking a bit on showing you guys the other sample pieces, so here is the "Spring Has Sprung" fuchsia and gold flower ring. 

This ring is really comfortable and fashion forward.  I wore it to work one day last week and got a lot of fantastic complements. This particular ring is very girlie being a flower and bright pink, so I might buy this item in a different hue to make it a tiny bit more edgy. 

Comments, critiques and complements are always welcome! Thanks for reading guys!
