Inspiring Poem

Posted in Xtra by

The Celestial Surgeon

If I have faltered more or less In my great task of happiness; If I have moved among my race And shown no glorious morning face; If beams from happy human eyes Have moved me not; if morning skies, Books, and my food, and summer rain Knocked on my sullen heart in vain:- Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take And stab my spirit broad awake!

By Robert Louis Stevenson

Many Christmases ago, I received a children’s book of poetry. I loved it. And til this day I still think about the first time I read some of what would become my favorite poems. Have you ever been inspired by a poem?

I’m considering including more ‘lifestyle’ posts here on LoveNiki. Fun posts, random post, a little bit of everything for girls who love fashion and style but are also interested in a little something extra. Let me know your thoughts :)

Love,

Niki

Mom Chic

Posted in Xtra by
So polyvore went a little crazy and reposted this set about 10 times last Friday! Lol. On the bright side, I was able to fix the issue but I didn’t have a chance to share my thoughts with you :(  So here they are, a few days late…
Mother’s day ads have made all moms seem a little….boring, dull, and cookie cutter-ish. I think our moms’ deserve cool gifts that are fun & pretty & cute enough to make you hope she’ll let you borrow it. So I searched sites I personally like for gift ideas that are more than sufficient, they super chic. Below are a few of my fav picks to help get your Mom-day ideas flowing. And!…. they’re all affordable ;)

Easter supplies for 3 little buckets plus tax comes to a whopping grand total of $10. Pretty sweet right? Want to know what’s even more awesome about this? I had plenty of extra candy, a few eggs, and grass to fill some of the bigger Easter baskets I was working on. Did you put any baskets together this past weekend?
