In today's Motivation Monday, you'll meet Stephanie. A working mom to two (awesome) kids who has lost over 100 lbs. You read correctly, over 100 lbs!

Scrubbed Clean: Prepping Our Home for Sale
I don't know how much I'll manage to type in this post... but I'll try my best. Ladies, I am pooped with a capital "P!" H and I cleaned our home for the entire weekend, morning, noon and night. I have never cleaned so hard in my entire life. I was full-on wearing rubber gloves, breathing in Kaboom! fumes as I scrubbed my bathroom grout ...

Happy Friday everyone! BIG THANKS to all of the ladies who gave their advice on home staging in my previous post---I appreciate the input and I'm gearing up for a long weekend of cleaning and organizing!

A Poll for My Readers: Staging Your Home
My H and I are planning on spending this entire weekend cleaning and staging our home because we have a photographer coming in on Tuesday to take photographs for our listing. I'm wondering what you ladies think. If you were buying a home, would you want: A) The home to be staged and very minimalistic----no personal touches, very minimal ...
Product Rave: Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Shampoo with Cedar Bark
I hate that I am writing such a rave review about this product because it costs $25 a bottle...but it's $25 VERY well spent and I simply cannot contain my love for this product. "Another dry shampoo?" you ask. Yes ladies, unfortunately for us all, I think I have found the holy grail of dry shampoos. Now, before I get into this, I want to ...
Beauty Buys: Bumble and Bumble & Dior
I visited Sephora last week to pick up a new Bumble and Bumble product that I've seen in EVERY magazine lately. It's their "texture" product and it's supposed to be used on wet hair to create the highly coveted beachy, matte, "undone" hair. It got some rave reviews on makeupalley.com (I always check it before I buy) so I decided to ...
OOTD: The Girl in the Green Dress
Happy Tuesday everyone! It feels weird saying that because it still feels like Monday to me, but I'm thrilled this work week will be over sooner! I'm anxious for the weekend to get here because we've totally been dilly-dallying on selling our home and we finally contacted our Realtor to list...so this weekend I'm once again ...
4th of July Trip: Lake Austin!
Happy 4th of July to all of my American readers and of course happy Canada day to all of my Canadian friends! We had a lovely 4th of July weekend relaxing on Lake Austin. It was so nice to just lay out (in the shade, with sunscreen and a hat on!) and to go boating and eat yummy food (I was definitely NOT thinking about calories this ...
OOTD: Lace On Top
You may have seen that I picked up this lacy top last weekend at Zara on sale for $29.99 from $59.90 (I had my eye on it for awhile but didn't take the plunge, hoping for a sale!) I wore it on Monday and I absolutely loved it. Someone even asked me "why I was so dressed up on a Monday?" I think this top has a dressier vibe and I love ...
