Pins I'm Loving
Hello Lovelies!
So continuing with updating things on the blog, I decided to change the name of an old series.
No more Pinterest Finds.
Welcome to Pins I'm Loving!
Welcome to Pins I'm Loving!
Hair
I love looking at new ideas for my hair. Right now I'm looking for ideas to change my hair for the fall. My hair is currently platinum blonde, but I'm growing tired of it. I'm thinking either a darker, warmer blonde, or I'm just gonna go for it and go straight to bright red!

So pretty!
Purple-Red Hair
I'm seriously considering dying my platinum blonde hair this color. I've been dying to do this for years and I think I'm gonna give it a few more months and then do it!

Hello Lovelies!
I am finally going back to work today after being off since Monday, due to a medical procedure I had done. I loved not working, but I gotta admit I miss the hustle and bustle of being out of the house. I know it's gonna be hard going back today, but hey I'm off tomorrow, so I'm good!
This week I've really focused on catching up on some school work and I've been trying to work on some blog stuff. I got a lot of graphics made, enough for 8 weeks, so you can look forward to that.
Overall, I had a slow, boring week, but I was able to enjoy it because it was stress free. I'm always so on edge and full of anxiety, between blogging, work, the gym, and school, I never have any time to just relax and take it easy. This week I wasn't able to work and I couldn't go to the gym so I got to focus on what I wanted to.

Hello Lovelies!
It's hard to believe it's already June 24th, I feel like the past month has just flown by and I haven't accomplished anything.
The past few months have been rough, but the past month has been the worst of it. Death, car wrecks, work drama, when it rains, it pours! Thankfully after next week things should start to calm down. I know I've mentioned work before, but I don't think I've ever actually said where I work.
I work for Walmart and right now we are all under a lot of stress. We are moving locations, our current store shut down Tuesday and we opened our new store Wednesday. I'm not gonna lie, the past month has been completely insane, but it's finally over and I can't wait to be able to get back into my old routine.
I gotta say I'm gonna miss our old store, it's bittersweet, this is my first job, and I have a lot of memories in that store. But I gotta say our new store is amazing!!!! It's huge, clean, beautiful, words cannot explain how happy I am with our new store.

Book Review: Protection Detail by Shirlee McCoy
Hello Lovelies!
Today I will be reviewing 'Protection Detail' by Shirlee McCoy, copy received from Netgalley via Love Inspired Suspense in exchange for an honest review.
Today I will be reviewing 'Protection Detail' by Shirlee McCoy, copy received from Netgalley via Love Inspired Suspense in exchange for an honest review.
'Protection Detail' is a romantic suspense novel, it is 288 pages long and it took me about 6 hours to read. It is available at Amazon for $1.99(Kindle), and Barnes & Noble for $1.99(NOOKBook).
About The Book
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Length: 288 Pages
Publisher: Love Inspired Suspense
Release Date: March 3, 2015
Book Synopsis
After a prominent senator's son is murdered, Capitol K-9 Unit captain Gavin McCord wants answers. The senator was a mentor to Gavin, and he'll stop at nothing to bring the killer to justice. With his team of elite K-9 cops and his loyal dog, Glory, at his side, Gavin discovers that a child at Cassie Danver's nearby foster home may have witnessed the murder. He's drawn to the determined and beautiful woman, but she doesn't want him interviewing her traumatized charges. Yet trusting Gavin is the only way to stay one step ahead of the deadly gunman when Cassie becomes a target.
Capitol K-9 Unit: These lawmen solve the toughest cases with the help of their brave canine partners.
What did I think?
Like: Almost everything.
Dislike: I hate not knowing who the murderer is. Too many unanswered questions.
Would I recommend it?
I really enjoyed this books, the characters, the plot, the suspense. The romance between Gavin and Cassie was very sweet and actually very believable. There were a few moments where I wanted to roll my eyes, but I still loved the romance between them.
However, because of the ending I'm not too happy with the book, but
at the end of the day I enjoyed the book more than I hated it. I hate that I have to buy five more books just to complete the story, but it is what it is. I'm a book lover and eventually I'll buy them and I'm sure I'll enjoy them too.
Overall, I would recommend it if you have the money to spend on a total of six books. If you don't have the money I would say stay away because this is a very catchy story, I finished it last night and I need more!
