From the Happiest Place on Earth...
Go boldly and pursue your dreams! If you have a dream for something it's usually because you have a TALENT that matches!
From me and Mickey...HUGE SMILES! HUGE LOVE! And HUGE DREAMS!!!
Things to do at Disneyland:
1 1/2. Make sure you drive til 3 am, to get to the hotel, and then your kids will be so excited when they wake up, they won't be able to sleep until 4:30, and then because they were sleeping the whole drive, they'll wake up at 8:30! ha ha ha
2. If you're hurt or injured or handicapped, get a Special Assistance Pass!
3. Make sure you wear lots of deoderant if you are going in hot months, those lines put you WAYYYY too close to sweaty, stinko people! Help stop the STINK!
4. Eat at the mexican food restaurant in Frontierland, the soft tacos are soooo good! And buy a bag of cinnamon sugar tortilla chips at the register!
5. Go on Space Mountain at least 3 times, and make a funny face at the last part when you go up the tunnel with the lights - it's GONNA TAKE your awesome picture!
6. Go on the Peter Pan ride, it's my favorite! "hold on tight and here we goooooooo!"
7. Do forget your wallet when you go to buy the tickets, then you have to ride the tram all the way back to the car, and back to the front of Disneyland again (takes about another 30 minutes!)...Oh wait DON'T do what I did! ha ha ha
8. and make sure you get a frozen lemonade with a shot of cherry flavor in frontierland, and a churro!
9. and go the Horseshoe Saloon, get a rootbeer float and watch the hillbilly show, me and my sister almost peed our pants laughing so hard!
10. Go on Pirate's of the Caribbean!
11. make a video response to the Pirate's of the Caribbean video....the best of both world's PIRATE's and HillBilly's!
And yes, I'm posting this video again! ha ha... just because I'm going to Disneyland again!!!
have an awesome day...and remember if your today isn't so great, just wait til TOMORROWLAND!!!
huge love....your kandee
How to Look Like Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow
Oh no BONO got hurt!!!
Yes, Paul Hewson, AKA BONO, had to have an emergency back surgery at a Munich hospital, after injuring himself during tour preparation.
Bono, who I just learned is the same age as my mom, nifty-50, will have to recoup for the next 8 weeks!
Bono who was upset that all the people in North America who bought tickets, will no longer get to see him perform, and all their plans will have been ruined! He loves to perform, he's a performer, so this must be so frustrating for him.
This tour was going to be U2's best tour ever, even beating MADONNA's $222 million tour, with his highest grossing tour of 2009, at $311 million!
Get better BONO! We're cheering for ya! Get well soon!
That just shows you, age doesn't decide your success. AT 50, Bono is beating out young teeny boppers and even Madonna, well I think she's even older than Bono, at 51!
and as a sidenote: he's not really my BFF, I just got my pic taken with him a few months ago!
smiles and it's a a beautiful day (as BONO would say), your friend kandee
"you complete me!"
People want to feel completed and made to feel whole, like they are fixed, happy, and all better again. Some people spend hours online trying to find that one person that will make their life so much happier and better! Well all the eharmony.com's and match.com's in the world aren't gonna complete us!
Sometimes I've thought that all I needed was to find my soulmate, and my world would be happy, everything would be better. But the truth is, even if they are your soulmate, they are going to let you down, somehow make you mad or hurt your feelings. And WHAM!!! You are so upset, you're thinking you were more "COMPLETED", before you had to deal with a "poop head" like this! ha ha ha
I remember my gramma telling me, "You were just fine before you met them! You were born by yourself, just fine, and you will die by yourself!"...I remember hearing this and thinking, "GOSH!!! THAT IS A HORRIBLE SAYING!" But the truth in it is (and the "nicer, makes more sense version") is this, you have had a life, it may have been heard, but you had happy moments without your soulmate, with friends or family, or even moments where you were happy all by yourself. The "soulmate" didn't all the sudden become the only "being of happiness" in your life. YES, they probably bring tons of happiness to your life, but I guarantee, that without them, you would still have happiness. Not at first if you're all sad, but it will come flooding back.
In the first scenes of the "The Grapes of Wrath", it shows the women watching their men in the dry dusty land working, where the crops used to be. They were watching to see if the men would break, or if they would keep going on. Sometimes that all we need, to see that their hearts were strong to not give up and keep going, and when you see that you think, "Oh, I can do it too! I will make it! I will survive! No matter what is going on, I'm going to make it!"
Today, know that you will make it!
You will be happy!
No matter what is falling apart around what news you've just discovered, you will be more than fine, you will be amazing!
huge love and a cupcake, from your friend, kandee
MISSION for the day:
1. look back at one thing in your life that was hard and think about how you lived through it
2. think about anyone that you know that has been through something hard, and keep them as your inspiration when you feel like things are too hard, think "what would they do?"
3. Look at yourself in the mirror today and say "you one amazing person and you deserve to be happy, and I will!"
4. in everything today find happiness, in pretty flowers, in smiling at someone, maybe you help someone that can't open a door, like a little old lady or a mom with a stroller, maybe you just tell a friend or your mom, just how much they mean to you, or even just tell someone they have a nice smile!
when you feel like you can't go on
I have felt overwhelmed in my life.
I have been heartbroken beyond belief, and sometimes it didn't even involve someone that hurt me - it was my own life that was breaking my heart. It was my choices in life that were breaking my heart. I felt like I even broke God's heart, for the creation he made with love, that wasn't making the best choices for herself, me!
I have had a hard week, it was filled with meetings, work things, (with the exception of meeting the girls and filming it- that was my happy spots!)...but in my heart has felt a sea of sadness. It's hard for me to talk to people about my feelings sometimes, but I think that when you guys can see how real, how normal, how, just like you, I am, it helps. And this week was tough, I was dealing with so many things, very stressful things, from money things to heart things, to life things...to so many things!
I want you to know, if you feel like giving up...DON'T - that sad time will pass. You WILL feel happy again. Everyone I know has gone through a sad time, that they felt that the pain was too much, and they didn't want to live. I have friends who I've talked out of suicide, and I have friends that didn't talk to anyone, and they took their life. To know that if they just talked to someone, whatever problem they had, was NOT TOO BIG, nothing is too big! And you will get through it, I promise!
Sometimes people only pray to God when they think they're gonna die ~ and if that's they way you have to do it..that's fine, nothing is too small or too big to pray about.
God isn't waiting to judge people...he's waiting to love you, like a dad with his arms open to hold you and tell you everything is ok. Now THIS IS NOT TO GET ALL RELIGIOUS on you (because I DON'T LIKE RELIGION, but I do LOVE GOD.)
This is the only thing that pulled me out of this...my mom talked to me, and reminded me how nothing I've done is too awful, God gives you a fresh day with no guilt, no shame, he just wants to love you and for you to love him in return.
All the hurt we've had in life, will be swapped out for happiness.
I am happy today....and I am going to go to the Happiest Place on Earth.....Disneyland. I am so excited!
If no one else it telling you it's okay...I am!
It's okay, whatever your heart hurts about...it's okay. Nothing is TOO big for God to handle.
If you feel like it's too much, like you can't go on...don't go on it alone. If no one is there, sometimes God removes everyone there could be to talk to, so the only one left (the most important one) is him.
You will be happy again. You will feel like going on, I promise!
I love you!
You're precious!
And if no one else has told you how amazing you are...I did!
You're amazing, loved, and amazing things to do in this world!
huge love and even bigger hugs (through the computer), your friend kandee
"O LORD, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before you. May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry. For my soul is full of trouble and my life draws near the grave." - psalm 88

hearts, smiles and beautiful days....
Sarah is another model-esque girl, with a beautiful smile, tons of bubbly energy, a giant purse full of adorable-ness. Her story hit me when she first emailed me, and I couldn't believe she lost everything in not one house fire, but 2, and she had been through a series of illness and other events all within a year. We got to walk and hunt around at the Santa Monica Pier and have a great time!
Each of these days, I had busy, crazy days, that felt stressfull, I've had over 4 doctors appointments, with not too fun testing, BUT, the times when I got to meet the amazing girls...it was the best part of my day! The love we got to pour out on each other, sharing what we've been through and just talking, swapping hugs, has been priceless, encouraging, and something I will never forget!
I can't thank these girls enough for sharing their stories, and letting me into their lives!
Keep posted to see our times together and hear their incredible stories...which will DEFINITELY, encourage you and touch your heart!
Huge love, your friend kandee
thank you...
I am so honored, to a part of your lives, to have an effect or impact, or to be there to cheer anyone up, is something that makes me feel so happy! More than any fancy job or opportunity i could have, touching someone's heart, or pouring a little extra love into someone's life, means more to me than anything!
huge love....and remember....
you're more beautiful than you know
more talented than you think
and more loved than you can imagine....
i love you and think you are marvelous!!!
huge love, your friend kandee....
how to be happy...
How to be happy day 1:
1. say kind an encouraging things to people all day~ point out something they do great, like, "you make me smile when i see you!", "you did such an awesome job on.....(fill in the blanks), "you look so nice today, I really like your.....(fill in the blanks)
2. decide to be happy and joyful today~ whenever an unhappy thought comes along, tell yourself, "NOPE! we are not gonna think about you!"...and immediately think about something happy and positive.
3. think about good things...happy things, positive things~ if any other thoughts come into your head, get em out...there's only room for happy thoughts!
We are only hurt, by letting those things hurt us. If someone breaks our hearts, crushes our spirit, it's because in our minds we've put them in a place to hurt us. We can also put them in a place where we won't be hurt by them. God can put your broken heart back together again, better than new, with more joy and happiness.
huge love and lots of hugs, your lovin' kandee
and remember if no one else told you today....
I think you're amazing, talented, and simply wonderful, and no one deserves to take your happiness!
you're more sparkling that all the glitter on the earth!
hugs the size of..well, something really big!!!

How To: Not Have A Broken Heart
And millions of heart are hurting and broken, in the world right now.
I hope this little post will help some hearts...somewhere.
SCENE 1: you have just been left with a heart that feels so broken, you just want to sleep, you don't want to be awake and feel anything! You can't imagine how your life will go on with any kind of happiness without this person in your life. You are already imagining, that no one will ever be as great as them.
SCENE 2: you have been or are in an abusive relationship, someone that verbally abuses you (saying horrible hurtful things that will forever scar your heart), physically abuses you (hurting you in any way), mentally abuses you (controls you, manipulates situations, scares you, threatens you), or even sexually abuses you (any form of touching that you don't want).
now enters the voice of help!
For #1 with a
broken heart: No one that is willing to let you go or hurt your heart, or leave you...is good enough to EVER be the one to hold your precious heart in their hands. Someone that has no idea how amazing you are, how irreplaceable you are, how unique how adorable, how beautiful, how someone will come into your life and say, "I don't ever want to live without you in my life, and I'll never, ever think of leaving you!". Someone is going to adore how you laugh, love the sound of your voice, think that you make everything more fun, how you are the most amazing thing they've ever seen, that nothing could take them away from you. That they'd walk through fire, drive for hours, just to see your face.
If you ARE or WERE with someone that didn't realize you were the best thing on Earth....GOOD RIDDANCE!!! Because they don't deserve one more second of your time or tears!
You are one of a kind amazing! They way you say things, the way you laugh, the way you dance or sing, the funny things you so, the quirky things you do...these are all what someone is going to FALL HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH!!! And if someone doesn't...DON'T waste your time with them...because the person that's going to LOVE all those things and you, is rejoicing that, that other person is out of the way, so they can come and find you!
Even though I don't normally listen to country music, I love the song, "God Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts
in the song it says,
"Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
This is beautiful....that each person that broke your heart, needed to get out of your life, so the right one, one that will never hurt you, can come into your life. They will adore you, cherish you, and gently hold your heart, and will go out of their way to make sure your heart is never hurt!
I've been hurt many times, I've been cheated on, dumped, I've been in abusive relationships, and I'm so glad I'm not in any of those anymore! I even dated a guy that told me how beautiful he thought other girls were and how he had "crushes" on them, in front of me! (oh brother!) Thank goodness I said "enough!", they dumped me, or I got the courage to leave them, and end that horrible time in my life!
Now for #2
an abusive relationship
If you are with someone that constantly hurts your feelings, makes you feel miserable, unhappy, stupid, ugly, sad, depressed, worthless...ANY one of those! That is not a soul mate....that is a mean mate!
And if you are with someone that hurts you, hits you, threatens you (with anything) scares you for any reason, (especially if they drink or do drugs...they will think even worse!).
I was in an abusive relationship, where I was afraid of everything, I was afraid to leave my house, I was told horrible things, I was threatened, and he had a huge anger problem, the police had to be called, I didn't have any money or any food to eat. And the horrible part was, I was so afraid to leave him, that he would be even more mad and find me. Or he would promise me he wouldn't do any of that again and he was sooooo sorry! WELL THAT'S THE ABUSIVE CYCLE!!! (THEY'RE MEAN, THEN THEY FEEL BAD, APOLOGIZE, SAY THEY WON'T DO IT AGAIN.....AND JUST WAIT...IT'S A GUARANTEE THEY'LL DO IT AGAIN! It just comes down to how long you're going to stay and keep going through that emotional cycle.
I prayed and asked God to get me out of there! And sure enough, it was by a miracle, we were getting kicked out of the apartment we lived in, I called my mom, she bought me a plane ticket, he even drove me to the airport, and once I was safely at my mom and dad's, I said, I can't come back. I's had enough! I knew, this wasn't how it was supposed to be. Your heart heart shouldn't hurt when you're in love!
So, to each of you precious souls...you were made so fantastically! You are funny, witty, brilliant, cute, adorable, you have your own style, your own way of making people's lives fun. People should want to be wherever you are....because wherever you are....life is more fun, because you are in it!
Don't settle...you deserve the best! And the best is waiting for this "broken heart" to be pointed in their direction, that whoever hurt you, is the Northern Star, that is pointing you right to the one that will NEVER, EVER hurt you.
And remember, your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife....is not your whole world! They are there to support and be a companion, but remember, as soon as they get placed on a pedestal....that's a promise that you are putting them too high on your life list...and you're giving them control to definitely hurt you! Every human being at some point will disappoint you, hurt you, make you sad...they aren't perfect. The only person who's never stop loving me is God. Boyfriends, girlfriends, even husbands and wives (ha ha ha), may come and go...but God and your family will always be there love you!
I love you...and don't let another tear fall from your eyes. I wish I could be there to hug you and tell you, "No, rejoice that now, you're true soul mate, is free to find you! Be patient, they are on their way!"
I made this BREAK-UP BOOTCAMP video, maybe it will inspire your heart too!
huge love, chocolate and lots of love, typed with love, kandee

2011 Lace Wedding Gowns
Lace wedding brides tend to attract brides-to-be who want that classic, ultra-feminine wedding day look. This spring, however, designers reinvented the lace wedding dress and used this staple fabric in modern (even sexy) ways. Check out some of the lace wedding dresses we spotted on the spring 2011 runway!
Instead of an all-over lace dress, this strapless gown by Angel Sanchez makes use of lace embellishments across the ballgown skirt for texture.
A classically romantic dress by Douglas Hammant. This dress bares more skin than the average wedding dress with the low sweetheart neckline.
Another classic dress, this time from Rivini. Unlike the lace dress of old, which flows softly, this dress has a structured silhouette.
I love lace overlays, and this dress by Casablanca Bridal is a great choice for brides who want to show a little skin without being too revealing.
One of my favorite lace dresses of the season is from Monique Lhuillier’s spring 2011 bridal collection. This dress is a high-fashion take on the traditional Filipiniana garb.
Reem Acra Spring 2011 Bridal Collection
The ballgown wedding dress will never go out of style, and I love how designers continue to reinvent this silhouette this season. Reem Acra’s spring 2011 bridal collection features wispy ballgown skirts alongside traditional-looking designs and trendy pieces. Let’s give it a look!
Love the tiers on this dress. It’s not a style everyone can get away with but go for it if you’re tall and skinny!
This pale yellow dress is a refreshing change from the usual white.
A sweetheart neckline is a subtle way to show some skin on your wedding day. The ruffles around the waist may make your front look a little bigger than it normally is – wear with caution.
The floral embellishments will provide the illusion of a fuller bust. Get a style like this if you want to forgo the push-up bra.
This is my favorite in the collection – it’s understatedly elegant, and I love how delicate the tulle skirt looks.
One of the collection’s more traditional pieces.
This is an interesting trend – kind of like a cross between the ballgown skirt and the high-low hemline. I wonder if it will catch on.
My least favorite dress in the collection. When will designers realize that an embellished belly is extremely unflattering?
