Last year, H and I made reservations at one of our favorite restaurants for 8 p.m. and we ended up eating at 11 p.m. Let's just say we didn't want to do that this year. It totally kills the romance when you have to wait around for 3 hours to be seated (while your tummy is growling because you saved yourself for a big dinner!) We ...

OOTD: A Standout Piece
Do you ever buy something that you think is really cute and then end up wearing it so much that you realize it was one of your best buys of the season? That's how I feel about this H&M sweater coat. I can only think that my grandma's sweet spirit was shining down on me when I discovered this sweater coat while shopping in Bratislava after her ...
Weekend Shopping: I Heart Neiman Marcus (&OOTD)
I slept until 10 a.m. this morning and lazily laid in bed until 10:30 or so watching TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress." I'm a "need 8 hours of sleep" kind of girl and I tend to listen to my mind and body---so if I sleep in on a weekend, I'm thinking it's because my body needed it to "regenerate" (or something like that). I finally rolled myself ...
Sudsing Up: All About My Hair-Washing Routine
I get a lot of questions about my hair, and specifically "how the heck do you you days and days without washing it?" It took me awhile to get my hair to the point it is now, where I don't have to wash it more than a couple of times a week. It's a process and I'm not saying this method will work for everyone, but it works for me. First a little ...
OOTD: Sunday Brunch
Since we missed Christmas with family this year, H and I invited his parents to Sunday brunch at this great local place where they've got everything from bacon and omelets to pastries and chocolate-covered strawberries. I wore my favorite top from Target. I bought it right before our trip to Paris and I wore the heck out of it while we were gone ...
What I Bought in Paris & London (Not Much at All)
A lot of you lovely ladies have been asking what I bought on our trip---the truth is, not much at all! I enjoyed a lot of window shopping while we were abroad. For designer items especially, the prices were simply so much higher than what you'd pay for the same item in the US, so I decided to only buy things I haven't seen in the US or can ...
Product Rave: Living Proof’s “Full” Line
***We are still in Paris but I wrote this last week so the blog could be updated a bit while we were traveling!*** Product rave alert! I was lucky enough to score one of the Today Show deals on the Living Proof line. I got three products from their FULL line all for $10 ($5 of that was shipping!) I was excited to try this volume/thickening ...
Day & Night: Friday Outfits
Hello ladies! Hope everyone had a great Friday! I must admit mine did not start off very well. I really do hate to whine about how I feel, but Friday my horrible stomach symptoms came back and so did the nausea...and add cramps to that (yeah, not good). I was not a happy camper that morning (especially since I did a super-intense ...
Weekend Shopping: Hunter Boots, Nordstrom Rack, Sephora & Banana Republic
I'm sipping a cup of mint tea after a long day of shopping with my H. We had an awesome day together---breakfast and lattes at Starbucks, shopping and then a late lunch/early dinner at Chuy's (a Mexican food place in our area.) Our shopping began at Nordstrom Rack so I could use our $50 Groupon. I got a dress by Andrew Marc. I think ...
Wearing Neutrals: Mixing Brown, Black & Gray (OOTD) & Glitzy-Glam Purchase
Hello ladies! I am so excited because I came home today to a package I've been expecting! You may know that popular YouTube beauty gurus, sisters Elle and Blair have an online shop called glitzy-glam. I saw one of Blair's videos where she was showing a cute makeup bag and I thought it would be perfect for our upcoming trip so I ...
