Because of Him (The Christmas Miracle)


Because it's because of Him that I believe in love, life, laughter, friendship, family, magic, etc, so I created this set.
It's because of Him that I believe in magic,
It's because of Him that I believe in love,
It's because of Him that I believe in laughter--
It's because of Him from up Above.

It's because of Him that I believe in friendship,
It's because of Him that I believe in peace,
It's because of Him that I believe in miracles--
Because His love will never cease.

He's the reason why we are here--
And why I love this time of the year! :)

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
Have a blessed, safe, joyful, and beautiful one!

With love,
xLBx

Wrapped With Love (Happy Holidays!)

Wrapped with love--
I have a gift for you.
A special set,

And a Happy New Year!
May this Holiday season--

~LB

Those Disappointing Eyes (I'll Be Your Clown)


Because I love the song "Clown" by Emeli Sande and wanted to make a set for it. And I even had a poem to go with it, so I created this set.

Surprise,

Surprise,

There are those disappointing eyes.

I wondered where they had been--
I hadn't seen them in a while.

Surprise,
Surprise,
Look at those disappointing eyes.
The ones that only speak the truth--
And sees through all the lies.

Surprise,
Surprise,
There are those disappointing eyes.
The ones that breaks my heart--
And always seem to make me cry.

Surprise,
Surprise,
Look at those disappointing eyes.
The ones that say hello--
But they're really saying goodbye.

Surprise,
Surprise,
There are those disappointing eyes.
I wondered where they had been--
I hadn't seen them in a while.

Surprise,
Surprise,
Look at those disappointing eyes.
The ones that sees through my mask--
And underneath my disguise.

Surprise,
Surprise,
There are those disappointing eyes.
The ones that look at me--
And often criticize.

Surprise,
Surprise,
Look at those disappointing eyes.
The ones that I hate--
And often recognize.

Surprise,
Surprise,
There are those disappointing eyes.
I wondered where they had been--
I hadn't seen them in a while.

Just A Reminder... (Beautiful You!)


Because I wanted to encourage and uplift my Polyvore friends and followers. I wanted to remind them of how beautiful they are, so I created this set.
This set is dedicated to all of my beautiful Polyvore friends and followers! I just want you all to be reminded of this and to remember how beautiful and special that you all are!

If you are anything like me then it helps to be reminded:

That you are beautiful, even when you don't think you are-- And even then you are probably your most beautiful.

That you are strong, even when you don't think you are-- And even then you are probably at your most strongest.

That you are kind, even when you don't think you are-- And even then you are probably the most kindest.

That you are loved, even though you can't see it-- And even then you are loved even more.

That you aren't alone, even though you may feel like it-- And that's when your true friends show.

This is dedicated to all of my Polyvore friends and followers!

However, there are some beautiful friends that I would like to say I love you to as well!

I love you all so much! Thank you for all of your kindness, support, and friendship!

My Guiding Lights


Because I have some bad days and my Polyvore friends and followers are my "Guiding Lights" that help me out of the darkness, so I created this set.
I have my days--
Where things aren't all right.
Where I'm stuck in the dark--
And lost without my sight.

But these Angels come--
Spreading their love and light.
These Angels come--
With their Guiding Light.

My Guiding Lights are my friends, my Angels that help me out of the dark. These are the ones that reach out to me with words of encouragement, love, and kindness during my darkest days. These are my friends and Angels that guide me back to the light. And though I'm not completely out of the dark, I have to thank them for all of their love, guidance, and kindness.

My Guiding Lights are those who leave comments of well wishes and a speedy recovery like @chileez, @snowelle,@viktoriasch, @catyraven, @found-herself-in-wonderland-13, and @angiem.

Those who remind you to chase and follow your dreams like @maria-heart, @evermore13, and @annefoster99.

And then there are those Guiding Lights that go the extra distance and who are ALWAYS there when you need them: 
Those like @topo-gigio who goes out of their way to say a kind prayer for you when you need one. 
Those like @chiqiyoly who always reminds you that your well being comes first and that they will always be there to support you. 
Those like @erika-prove and @carola-corana who sends you a message letting you know that you are missed and that they are there for you if you need someone to talk to. Also, reminding you that they are there if you need a friend.
Those like @runners who's just ALWAYS there with a kind message and comment whenever you need one, and who constantly reminds you of how talented and special you are. 
Those like @cindu12 who always reminds you that you are special and an angel, even when you are having a bad day or a bad week. 
Those like @sopranooo who always reminds you of how talented and beautiful you are. 
Those like @debbi-bartelt who reminds you that we learn something new every day, and that we also learn from each other. 
Those like @my-time-is-now and @j-n-a who always has a kind word to say and who always reminds you that you have someone to talk to. 
Those like @elliewriter who always reminds you that you are missed and who's always there ready to pick up where we left. 
Those like @marlenajo-b who always reminds you that you are loved and missed, even when you are away.

You are all my Guiding Lights. I am TRULY blessed to know each and every last one of you! I'm FOREVER grateful to you all.
Thank you for being there for me. I'm honestly speechless. It's just so amazing, so thanks!
To me, you are all true friends. You were there for me when I needed it the most.
Thank you ALL so much for being so amazing, so kind, so loving, so caring, so considerate, so understanding, so incredible!
I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!
This set is for all of you!

Also, thanks to all of my followers and to those who have supported me. I really appreciate it!

With all my heart,
xLBx

Keep Your Composure


Because I was really upset one day and someone close to me told me to "Always keep your composure", so I created this set.
Wipe your tears--
Keep your composure.
Don't show weakness--
Indecent exposure.

Harden your heart---
Your weakness is kindness.
Strengthen your soul--
This world will leave you heartless.

Keep your composure--
Don't let them get you down.
Put a fake smile on--
Don't let them see you frown.

Keep your composure--
Don't let them see you cry.
We live in a cruel world--
Remember an eye for an eye?

So, please protect your heart--
On every occasion.
I've lost my heart--
Way too many abrasions.

Safe in the Shadows


Because popularity is so fickle and overrated, and I've never been a fan of it, so I created this set. Besides, it's "Safe in the Shadows".
They notice my presence--
But they don't miss my absence.

I pop up so quickly,
And I disappear just as fast.
I constantly keep people guessing--
About how long I will last.
That's why I reject popularity--
It's just a thing of the past.

One minute your popular,
And then the next your not.
One minute your famous,
And then your soon to be forgot.
And yet everyone is dying--
To be in that number one spot.

But I'll stick to the shadows--
It's my favorite place.
I don't mind being unrecognized,
Or having a forgettable face.
All I need is my family--
And my friends in this case.

I'm not dying to be popular--
I like my time and my space.

Hollow


Because I was feeling hollow and empty, so I created this set.
Hollow look,
Empty eyes,
A broken heart--
A web of lies.

Empty words,
Yet still kind.
A shallow heart--
A fragile mind.

Distant,
Yet still polite.
No longer an angel--
She's lost her light.

Torn in two--
And not the same.
And one con artist--
Takes all the blame.

Earth Shattering


Because I was having a bad day and I felt like the ground that I was standing on was shaking, so I created this set.
My body aches--
So, my heart is breaking.
My smile looks real--
But I'm only faking.
My feet stands still--
But the ground is shaking.

Don't Fall in Love With Me


Because I'm really hard to love and I'm extremely guarded, so I created this set.
Don't fall in love with me--
I'm a total mess.
Don't fall in love with me--
Trust me, it's for the best.

Don't fall in love with me--
I won't always be around.
And when I disappear--
I don't want to be found.

Don't fall in love with me--
I have a fickle heart.
Don't fall in love with me--
I often fall apart.

Don't fall in love with me--
I only trust a few.
Don't fall in love with me--
No matter what you do.

~LB
©2014

Don't Look For Me

Don't look for me--
I'm no longer there.
I've lost my way--
And I don't even care.

Don't ask me no questions--
I won't give a reply.
I have nothing to say--
And that's my honest reply.

I'm sick of it all--
I'm no longer caring.
My personal info.--
I'm no longer sharing.

I've put up my walls--
I'm no longer bringing them down.
I've harden my heart up--
I'm no longer around.

Autumn Leaves


Because it's Autumn and I feel like I'm changing just like the Autumn leaves, so I created this set.
Things change,
Just like the Autumn leaves.
People change too--
As we are left to believe.

So maybe I'm changing--
As things start to Fall.
Or maybe I'm just struggling--
With everything and all.

Because I'm changing,
Just like the Autumn leaves.
No longer does my heart--
Lie upon my warm sleeve.

Even more guarded--
Than I was before.
I'm struggling with the Autumn leaves--
That I once ignored.

~LB

I've suffered quite a setback while I've been away... Makes it even harder to trust again... Just stay vigilant and always stay aware... Especially from those who aren't who they pretend to be... And as always, trust your instincts.

In the meantime, I hope you are all doing well! If it's Fall where you are, I hope you are enjoying the beautiful Autumn Leaves!

Also, Happy Halloween in advance! In case, I don't find my way back to Polyvore before then. ;)

With love,
xLBx

The Pieces of My Heart


Because I wanted to do a dedication set to my friends/"hearts" here on Polyvore, so I created this set.
The pieces of my heart--
Lies with all of you.
Creating each set--
Helps me cope with the things that I go through.

Each set created--
Keeps a piece of my heart.
To help me out--
On the days when I may or may not fall apart.

But the real pieces of my heart--
Are left with all of you.
Just to thank you all--
For supporting everything that I do.

~LB

Thank you all so much for all of your love and support! I really appreciate it!

I have A LOT going on right now... Things that I need to fix... A surgery that needs to be done... Etc...

It's just SO MUCH going on for me. But I just wanted to create a set to say thank you for all of those that have messaged me and left comments of concern. I do see them and I really appreciate them.

I'm really overwhelmed and even though I want to make my way back to Polyvore, it just makes me even more overwhelmed...

I love you all and I miss you all so much! I constantly think about you all. You are NEVER forgotten! Not even for a minute.

I will make my way back once things are all sorted out.

Crimson Tears


Hello my wonderful and amazing loves,

This account is now on Bloglovin'. You can follow the link below:



Because I was feeling overwhelmed and I couldn't keep up with all of the activity on here, so I created this set.
Hello lovelies,

I'm EXTREMELY behind on here! (Polyvore)
I'm behind on everything -- likes, messages, comments, and follows.

I'm SO sorry about that! For a while, I was busy--
And then I got sick. So, I haven't been able to keep up on here.

Currently, I'm not feeling well and my meds have been keeping me sleepy and drowsy--
And I may be getting busy again soon.

Anyways, despite creating and posting my most recent sets, I haven't been able to do much on here.

Once I feel better, and once I have time to do so, I will be catching back up on here.

I just wanted all of you to know what was going on.

These are my "Crimson Tears".

Here lies my crimson tears,
Filled with all my pain and fears.

Red with sadness and incomplete--
As I now have to accept defeat.

Crimson tears from crimson eyes,
Buried beneath the crimson lies.

The love that she was able to maintain--
She can no longer keep sustained.

Just A Doll With Puppet Strings

Because sometimes I feel like a "pretty" doll with puppet strings, so I created this set.
I'm just a doll with puppet strings--
For someone who likes to play with things.

I'm just a doll with a pretty face--
Something to look at until I'm replaced.

I'm just a doll with puppet strings--
And I don't even know who's pulling my strings...

An Unconventional Beauty


Because there are all kinds of beauty and being different and unique is beautiful, so I created this set.
She's beautiful--
But not in the conventional way.
It's not in her looks,
Or in the quirky things she says.

She's so different.
She lives in a league of her own.
She lives in the clouds--
In a no fly zone.

The Black Sheep


Because there are times when I feel like "the black sheep", so I created this set.
Make me the black sheep--
So what? Oh well!
Make me the black sheep--
I don't care as you can tell.

Make me the black sheep--
Go ahead and count me out.
I don't care what you're saying,
Or if it's me you're talking about.

Make me the black sheep--
If that what's you want to do.
Obviously, I'm not listening--
I could care less about you.

Make me the black sheep--
I'm used to it by now.
Go ahead and talk about me--
I don't care anyhow.

You Don't Know Me


Because I'm so complicated and complex. I often feel like no one really knows me, so I created this set.
You don't know me--
As well as you think you do.
You don't know me--
If I seem like an angel to you.

You don't know me--
Behind the mask that I wear.
You don't know me--
And I think that's a little unfair.

You don't know me--
Only what I want you to.
You don't know me--
But I'm kind of hoping you do.

One of my fave songs:
Goo Goo Dolls - "Iris"

Broken Clocks (Time Doesn't Stop)


Because time doesn't stop even if a clock is broken and even if we want it to, so I created this.
Just because a clock is broken,
Doesn't mean that time stops.
Time will keep on going--
Whether we like it or not.

Living Inside of My Head


Because there are so many beautiful places and faces inside of my head, so I created this set.
Living inside of my head--
Are all of these beautiful places.
Living inside of my head--
Are all of these beautiful faces.

Living inside of my head--
Is a place of peace.
Living inside of my head--
Is a conversational piece.

Fragile Heart


Because I've been wanting to create a set with a broken heart inside of a shattered clear box for a while, so I created this set.

My heart is so fragile,
That I leave it protected.
Until I find someone--
That won't leave it neglected.

My heart is so delicate--
So, I keep it safe with me.
And only if you're worthy,
Will I set it free.
