I need to tell you something… I’m not a real big fan of New Year’s Resolutions. Sometimes…I feel like people use the new year as an excuse to put off a goal, a change or a decision that really should be made immediately. It becomes a “New Years Resolution” and you sit on it until January 1st. And then, you expect the new years magic to take it and make it happen…and when it doesn’t (because, spoiler alert, there is… Read more »

The Ultimate Beauty Gift Guide
There is nothing more gratifying than giving someone you care about a gift that they LOVE! Unfortunately, finding that gift can be a less than pleasant experience. By “less than pleasant” I mean stressful, pressure filled, crowded, miserable and rash inducing. For real, I’ve worked myself up in such a gift giving tizzy that my body had no choice but to rebel in the form of a rash on my back. Issues, I’ve got lots of them! 😉 So, if… Read more »
Morning Person
I am what you would call a morning person. I wake up each morning…much earlier than is ever necessary. I can literally hear life and all of its chores and all of its adventures whispering in my ear…telling me that I’m missing out, I’m running out of time to accomplish all of the things I want to accomplish. Usually, this spurs me to action. I leave my husband to sleep and I go to the gym, I start the laundry,… Read more »
How To::Homemade Photo Booth
Andrew and I had a terrific weekend. We spent most of it prepping for our Halloween party on Saturday and the remainder of it recovering from said Halloween party. I love planning things…I really do. All week long I felt like I was on this little adventure! Of course, it helps that I have a wonderful husband who enjoys planning right along with me…and somehow manages not to get exasperated with all of my (sometimes crazy) ideas! I wanted to… Read more »
Pumpkin Paradise
I don’t understand pumpkins. How does something that unappealing (those innards are seriously gross people) contribute to the wonder that is pumpkin spice, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bars, pumpkin pudding, pumpkin beer… Seriously, pumpkin never fails. Usually, by this time of year I have blown entire paychecks on pumpkin spice lattes, I have dove head first into a pan of pumpkin bars, I have made special trips to Village Inn for a slice (okay, sometimes an entire pie) of Pumpkin Cream… Read more »
Love, Bliss & Criticism
How fitting. One week ago, I was writing about battling and (mostly) conquering my debilitating insecurities and desperate need for approval…and today, after a work meeting in which I was handed my new tasks and duties I was also handed a whole lot of “productive” criticism. To be fair, I directed the conversation toward “respect”, how to earn it and how to keep it. I guess, I was expecting a “work more hours, step up more often and finish tasks… Read more »
A Love Note…to the Hardest Years of My Life
This title…with no words attached to it has been sitting in my drafts for a couple of weeks…its been taunting me. Daring me to write something honest and vulnerable and a little bit ugly. I guess I could never find the beginning which is technically the past and not a place I like to reside…so I will just start with the now and see where I end up. I’m sitting at my dining room table, with the window open because… Read more »
A Little Inspiration
Happy Tuesday! I’m a bit under the weather and feeling blue this evening….so I put together a playlist full of inspiration and cheerfulness! Thought I would share! A Little Bit Inspiring, A Little Bit Powerful and A Lot Happy
Don’t Do That (Beauty Edition)
I wish I had a reality show (doesn’t everyone?). My life is pretty much an epic mixture of blunders, mistakes and horrible decisions…mixed with good intentions and lots of good luck that somehow all comes together to make a pretty spectacular existence. I feel like that could be fun to watch, I mean, my husband finds me incredibly entertaining. I say this because…my blog mentor recently suggest I write a quick post with some “Beauty Do’s & Don’ts”, my response?… Read more »
Friday Fun!!
The only thing better than a spring thunderstorm is….a fall thunderstorm! I’m pretty sure there is nothing more romantic than curling up with your significant other, putting on a movie and hearing the rumble of thunder in the background. I adore it. But, enough about me…here are some of my favorite internet finds of the week! 1. Emails from the scariest bride of all time. This chick is cray. (screengrab viaGawker) (screengrab viaGawker) 2. 27 Reasons Parents Shouldn’t Be Allowed… Read more »
