Ran across these beauts while doing my general, not going to buy one single item I’m looking at browsing sesh. I think these would be a perfect gift for a wedding shower, a couples first Christmas or just a gift to yourself for being so badass.
Hump Day Happy Hour: Red Door
November 17, 2010 by
- 1 jigger of vodka
- Splash of St. Germain
- Top off with Raspberry Puree
Shake this like you would a martini and serve in martini glass.
Side note: I recently enjoyed this beverage during an ad-hoc happy hour where we were politely asked to order and consume more food so that we could order another round of drinks. I believe this was the pre-cutoff. Either way we ordered more food, I drank my Red Door, and all was good with the world.

Bring on the Sparkle!! These are exactly what I need to ring in the holiday season! I own a pair in gold sparkles and I can’t tell you how awesome it makes you feel wearing glitter on your feet. Now with the new intro of the pink glitter, its the perfect blend of all that is badass. Ak just got some in silver and we definitely need a pic of how sweet her kicks look on her as well!
Say Hello to My Little Friend

Anyone ever used this? It’s my new go to product in my make-up rotation and it really makes a difference for me. The colored stick for your brows is waxy, so I’m able to not only fill in the gaps with color but keep my unruly browns in place. Also second end of the stick is an under brow highlighter, so just seals the deal.
I give all credit to Melis for this, I used hers that was in her makeup bag a few months ago!
Hump Day Happy Hour: Bring on the Bubbly
November 3, 2010 by
It’s that time to celebrate right? Wednesday at 2 pm? HAHAA, kidding. But freals, loving on this gas station price, top of the line tasting sparkling wine by Barefoot. My new personal fav. I like the Brut, cause its not sweet and has the perfect amount of tang. I love the bubbles cause its a celebration! Your wallet will thank you since some of the options for sparkling wine can get a little pricey.
Fun + Run Should = FUNRUN?
November 1, 2010 by
Soooooo, an introductory, I have been working on my C25K thing. I got turned on to this program from an older post over at Whoorl. Apparently it is/was this thing that helps you go from not.running.an.inch to be being able to run a 5k or even more. I think I missed the boat when it was a HUGE DEAL, but am loving it nonetheless. Melis and I actually have signed up for a 5k coming up here soon because of our excitement with the program.
Back to where I was headed….Aus comes home with a funrun sign up sheet. “Mommy will you run with me”. Me: HELLZ yes.
A couple of things noteworthy about said “funrun”:
1. Parents took the fun out of funrun – they were there for blood. I ran the entire time (a whopping mile), didn’t die and had a decent time. There were parents there ready to be beat the shit out of me to get to the finish line. Not something I was prepared for.
2. Kids took the run out of funrun – shouldn’t funrun mean you at least attempt to run? Apparently not. I don’t think any elaboration is needed on that one.
Nonetheless, we had a great time, Ben was a really good cheerleader (HAHA) and it was good mommy/son bonding.
Sidenote: thats Aus’ runners face!

Who owns a pair of these? Do I need them? While at ACL, I saw a bagillion diff pairs (on girls and guys) and styles and I’ll tell you they are growing on me. Crushing hard on this particular pair. Perfect for the fall!

I Have An Announcement
October 28, 2010 by
So, I’m not sure if I have ever formally introduced you to this man, but he’s an avid music lover, a gamer for life, a hippie, a great therapist and my own personal comedian. He’s the apple of my eye. Every day is a dynamite day with this guy in my life!
Oh by the way, it’s his birthday today.
I’d like you to join me in wishing Ben a very happy birthday.
Countdown to Halloween is Officially On
October 25, 2010 by
So Austin is 8, which of course means Halloween is right up there with Christmas on his social calendar. Which brings me to my next point. Ever order a costume off the internet only to realize its ridiculously AWFUL? Well this year Aus comes to me and says he’d like to be Naturo. Those of you having no clue who this Naruto guy is, have an 8 year old boy and you’ll figure it out real quick. So no store carries the costumes, so we test our luck ordering online.
Pretty darn cute if I don’t say so myself. Found on Amazon, ordered and BAM. Fits perfect….AND I think we are ditching the head piece and going to find our own headband and spike the hair (spraying it yellow as well).
Bring on the sugar induced coma!!
Soccer Mom
October 14, 2010 by
And damn proud of it. My little man never ceases to entertain me and this soccer season is no different.
He’s been at this since around the age of 3 and it just keeps getting more and more fun. I am, however, that really really loud ass mom cheering like a crazy person. That’s normal right?
I think the additional entertainment of watching the sideline coaches dads, REAL-true-to-the-game-soccer moms crazy ladys, and general hysteria that can arise from an 9 year old boys team is just an added bonus.
GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLL
