We Take This Shit Serious

November 24, 2010 by

Ok so there is a long standing tradition with a couple of the tipsy girls.

Its starts early.  I am talking 2:30 am early….It’s dark.  It’s so dark, that it’s black……None other than THE Black Friday.  Totally worth It.  HELLA GOOD TIMES AND DEALS.

Heres the line up for me and Mimi (my mom):

  • Kohls (3 am) -for Austin and others
  • Macy’s  (4:15 am)- for Mimi and Estee Lauder Holiday Gift Sets (10 of them , yes I said 10, we have a big family) – if you aren’t aware of this gift set, get on it now.  You’ll thank me later.
  • Target  (6 am)- for Ben and Aus and everyone who need electronics or awesomeness
  • Bath and Body Works (8 am) – for friends and fam and myself
  • Yankee Candles (9 am)- just for fun at this point (gotta keep that house smelling good through out the year)

So we start at about 2:30 am.  Fight all the really crazy peeps, cause you know, we are the sane ones.   Hit all these locales and we are done by about noon or so…..

Don’t hate.

Side note:  Just want to let all tipsy readers know we are celebrating a safe and happy holiday with our friends and family.  Please do the same.  Happy and Safe Holiday to all of our  readers!  See you Monday!!!!

Dress ‘Em Up To Take Them For a Walk

November 22, 2010 by

I’ve decided I am going to somehow convince Ben that we need, absolutely have to have, a dog. Reason?  So they can sport one of these ties.  Dogs need holiday or interview attire as well.  These are the perfect option.

Only issue I’m having is that if you have a girl dog.  Still ok to sport one of these?  I think yes–just go for the Avril Lavigne or Diane Keaton look.

Letters + Candles = Awesome

November 18, 2010 by

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. 1 jigger of vodka
  2. Splash of St. Germain
  3. 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.

Fabulous Footwear Friday

November 12, 2010 by

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

November 9, 2010 by

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.
