Dear Jessica Simpson/ Jessica Simpson Shoes, I loved you, I supported you, I cried a little when Newlyweds was over (don't worry, I still have the entire DVD collection.) I defended you when people called you a dumb blonde (because after all, if you were really dumb, you wouldn't have made yourself a multi-million dollar brand.) I was ...

Sweet Valentine
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 ...
Weekend Shopping: LuluLemon Loveliness & Uninspired at the Mall
I went shopping this weekend for a few hours with Candice and it was the most uninspiring shopping trip in my recent memory. I felt like every single store we entered had nothing to offer. I guess maybe stores haven't fully sprung into spring just yet, but I have to say I was extremely bored by what I saw and had to spend an hour online ...
Giveaway Winner!
I'm thrilled to announce the winner of the CRAZY RUMORS lip balm and special goodie bag from me! The winning comment is 138! I am emailing the winner right now! I selected the winner by using random.org to generate the winning number, I subtracted 138 from 186 (total # of comments) and then I counted from the bottom of the comments, skipping ...
Make Eyes Pop: Defining Your Eyes in a More Subtle Way
Every time I watch YouTube makeup tutorials, I get a little bit envious of the gorgeous multi-color, blended eyeshadow looks I see some of my favorite beauty gurus creating. Most of you ladies know that I'm not an eyeshadow type of girl for daytime. I do swipe a quick wash of MAC's "blanc type" all over my lid to even my eyelid skin ...
Colonoscopy Update & A Special Surprise from H
I'm still a bit groggy, but I made it through the colonoscopy today. Thanks to everyone who left sweet and supportive comments :) The procedure went really well and all of my results came back normal, which is great because it means there's nothing more serious going on. They took some biopsies too, just to be sure and I'll see my ...
Tea-Flavored Lipgloss? Enter My Contest!
Occasionally, I get emails from companies to try out and review their products, and I must admit I was intrigued when I got an email about a line of lip products that were tea- flavored. I decided to test em' out because you all know how much I absolutely love tea (especially green tea, not that I had to remind you.) I had the opportunity to ...
Looks I’m Loving Now: Celebrity Fashion & Beauty Inspiration
Every once in awhile I love to do these posts and I love it when other bloggers do them too! Here's the celebs I've been inspired by lately: Rachel Bilson---always looking lovely and stylish. She's so petite but she always knows how to dress to flatter her proportions. I am digging her entire outfit---love the neutral dress paired with the ...
Spring Fever: New Sheets & Home Accents
Most of the ladies around the country can relate---it's FREEZING outside. My deepest sympathies to everyone dealing with the awful snow outside right now. Ick! I kind of hope the weather stays chilly for the weekend because H and I are continuing with our mission to organize the house and this weekend we're tacking the storage ...
Motivation Mondays: How Do You Measure Success? & LuluLemon Picks!
I got a question on my formspring page today asking me whether or not I've lost weight or inches from working out. I've definitely lost inches on my body---and gained muscle mass--- but I only know this because of how I look and how my clothes fit. I don't weigh myself or take measurements. I'm not on a weight loss journey like some health and ...
