Today happens to be a very special day. For a couple of reasons. First.... It's national CAT day! via and I happen to have one SPECIAL Angel.... Some interesting facts on cats... Cats make about 100 different sounds. Dogs make only about 10. A cat has no collarbone, so it can fit through any opening the size of its head. Cats are North America’s most popular pets: there are 73 million cats compared to 63 … [Read more...]
A Song and a Dance
Something to make you crack up as we start our week. The second half is really more hysterical, so watch the whole thing if you can! http://youtu.be/HCPA8TmsZJk And don't ask me how I did this safely. I did. I wasn't even looking at him or my phone as I did this. I just had my hand up with my phone, hoping I'd get him in my view, and I did. My world. Happy Monday lovies! … [Read more...]
These Are the Best Days
If you even knew what my schedule was like this week with extracurricular activities, I think you'd pass out from being exhausted. And you're not even the one doing any of these things. I still say, I have so much respect for people who have more than 2 kids. God gave me 2 hands, and I have a spouse (that makes 2 of us) to handle it all. How others do it it's beyond me. My life isn't always this busy, however this time of year it always … [Read more...]
From the Archives: Healthy Living Manifesto
Next week marks the beginning of a round of holidays coming up. I thought this post would be great to "re-share" as we are going to be seeing LOTs of food and opportunities to be unhealthy in front of us. A little reminder never hurts, right? via Now I know ALL of these things can't be done, but it's a great thing to shoot for as many as you can, right? … [Read more...]
Use This for That: Hair Conditioner
What??? Hair conditioner to shave your legs? Yup. Try it. I did when I ran out of my shave gel. Lo and behold, my legs felt silky smooth (I sound like a commercial, right? lol!) So, find a situation like this..... and bring some home with you like I did.... and your legs will thank you! … [Read more...]
Accent Tables
A cute accent table is like having the perfect accessory, but with function as well. Love cute little accent tables tucked next to the right chair, the right corner, the right place. Here are some living areas I found on Pinterest that showed some beautiful accent tables being put to good use. These little accent tables are smaller than end tables and add a cute touch to … [Read more...]
Black and Gold
One of my favorite color combos that exists is black and gold. Love it for the home. Love it in bags. Love it on shoes. Love it on clothes. Love it everywhere. And getting dressed up in a black and gold dress is classic and timeless I think anytime of year. Here's my take on a great dress from a super local retailer, Rakota Remington. I shared my love for this GREAT shop HERE. I had to wear shoes that weren't the "look good but can't … [Read more...]

4 Ingredient Mexi Chicken
Ok, 5 including the taco seasoning. Now, lemme just tell you guys, I've said it before and I'll say it again. The way I cook, I just throw stuff together, keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. Most of the times it comes out pretty good (I think!). And know this too... I come from an UBER traditional Greek family, where I did not have "casseroles" or anything with "pre made" or processed in it. This isn't a huge processed meal, but it … [Read more...]
Easy Breezy Outfit
Going from here to there, traveling by car, air conditioning, heat, humidity. Issues, right? What to wear on a day like that? Something easy breezy. Bottoms that are comfy, warm but not too hot, a lightweight top that is thin enough to not get hot in, but yet covered enough to keep you warm when you hit those highly air conditioned areas. Shoes? Something that slides off and on easy. What does that look like? Something like … [Read more...]
Weekend Fun
This weekend was the infamous OU vs TX college football game, where school spirit is an understatement. So we did what so many Oklahoman's do, and head south to the big D for a little weekend getaway. We had 4 tickets, but we decided (IIIIII decided) to do what is true to US. In other words, do what we REALLY feel like doing, not just because "everybody's doing it." So what is that you say? Well, The Mister took mini-me to the game because … [Read more...]
Thinking of Five
1. This. 2. This weekend's weather forecast high temperates is going to be in the mid to upper 80s. Really???? *#@*#&*#@%!!!! Ugh! This makes it SO hard to dress, agree? It's mid October! 3. This new show.... The Goldbergs on ABC. It's like The Wonder Years of today, meaning flashback of life. The difference is this show is set in the 80's, and for those of us who grew up then, hearing Whitesnake Here I Go Again on a tv show … [Read more...]
Shine by S.H.O

Animal Shoes
For me, there is no better neutral then animal. Gimme some leopard and I'll pair it with anything. A sprinkle of animal is a MUST! And today I'm sprinkling it in with some shoes. I've had these Tory Burch booties for about 3 years now, I THINK, maybe 4? and I wear them with EVERYTHING. Forget the basic brown or black, try any one of these with anything and everything. If you've never considered it, consider it now. And I … [Read more...]
The Dry-Shop
Who doesn't love great hair? And great hair that last beyond the day you style it? Meet the "blow out" experience and then some, I introduce you to the Dry- Shop. I came across this fun unique place BEFORE they opened, and I reached out to Emily, the owner, and said OMG your shop is the COOLEST shop ever (just by the fun pictures and tagline and marketing they had)! (because that's how I roll... that shy gal that I am!) If … [Read more...]
Introducing DUDE and JANE
I'm SO excited to share with you a new product launch today! I shared a special girl with you named Margo, a 12 entrepreneur, creator of Honestly Margo in March, and you can see that post I did HERE. Here is this spitfire of a girl, (with a birthday the end of the month, turning 13) who is challenging herself to BRING IT ON. Well, not really, but she does expect straight A's for herself (those are her goals), along with her soccer, … [Read more...]
Office Space and I Need Your Advice
Do you have an office? In your home? Do you use it? If you don't, why not? If you do, what is it that you love about it? All these are questions I need to figure out with myself and I'd LOVE for you peeps to chime in on what words for you and what doesn't. Here is my dilemma. Point #1. I have turned the bedroom ACROSS from my bedroom (which is on the first floor) (which began as a nursery) into a guest bedroom/ office. There is a full … [Read more...]

Well, something SUPER easy, that looks pretty fancy that my gang loves is my double baked potatoes. I start with my russet potatoes. ... wash em really good and stab them with a fork about 3 or 4 times each. Then pop them into the microwave for 10 minutes. Slice them in half and then scoop out the … [Read more...]
A Room With A View
For those who love Paris, this post is dedicated to you. Upon arrival to the city of love, I was in awe. My jaw had dropped as the driver from the airport was taking us to our apartment that we had rented for the week. This was my first time visiting Paris, and of course I had seen it photographed oodles of times, but actually being there and seeing it in person was indescribable. So, as we approach our apartment, drool begins to come out of … [Read more...]
