My bestie Candice and I went to our local Marshall's Home Store on Saturday "just to look." We both ended up leaving with so much stuff, we had to call a friend to bring a truck to haul it all home (oops.)There were so many great items, I just couldn't resist. The damage:One of my purchases ending up being uber-disappointing. You know when you ...
Happy New Year & Resolutions Just for Fun
I have a lot to cover here due to my lack of weekend blogging, so I'll just get started before I go off on a tangent. But first, let me go off on just one tangent:I tried to go to the gym after work today since I'm just 2 weeks out from our vacation, but there was no parking (in a 3-level large parking garage.) Yes ladies, that's right, it's the ...
Beautiful Blogger Award & 7 Random Things About Me
I was tagged by gorgeous Fetching Fashionista Justine to do this fun little "get to you know your weird quirks" post. I have so many, that I thought it would be fun to share just a few of them (I'll save the rest of them for another post!)ETA: I realized Justine actually gave me one of the "Beautiful Blogger" Awards. I didn't realize that at first ...
New Year, New Look?
This post is difficult to write for me, because I always pride myself on trying to maintain my apperance to the best of my abilities, and I realized that an area where I totally failed is my hair.Yes, that's right, I'm admitting it. A couple of posts ago, a few commenters mentioned that my hair was looking a little "bottom heavy" (I had never ...
Trend Report: Lingerie-Inspired Swimwear
Women's Wear Daily wrote about a new trend today (which actually started at least a year ago, but I digress): Swimwear that is very lingerie-esque. My lovely followers know that I've been quite bathing suit crazy lately because of my vacation (which is just 20 short days away!) I've always loved swimwear (even as an awkwardly skinny, flat-chested ...

(I promise I'll try one soon)...BUT my fave powder foundation is ...
Massive Post-Christmas Haul: I Went a Little Overboard…BUT…
I saved so much money.Even my husband remarked how proud he was of me as he as he lovingly carried my shopping bags (bless his heart.)I hardly ever buy anything at full price. I wait and wait until my most coveted (and sometimes pricey) items are 40-50% off of their original price. Why, you ask? Because shopping is more fulfilling when you get a ...
A New Year: Make Better, Not Make-Over
Elle Magazine's January issue featured an entire section about "making better" (instead of the dreaded "making-over".)I thought this was a really positive message- because after all, most women want to be true to who they are when making improvements, not made-over into someone they hardly recognize.I admittedly got sucked-in by the ads promoting ...
