This isn't a #tbt Throwback Thursday post, but this fabric and this trend I'm seeing DOES make me think of styles from the past. Neoprene, or as I call it, stretchy bathing-suit type fabric. {wink} I'm seeing it everywhere, and if you haven't yet, you will. Especially for the coming warmer months. In geometric, obscure, and floral prints. Kinda lycra-ish I guess you could say, sucks you in, and kinda pulls you together. At first I was like … [Read more...]
Semi-Homemade Greek Pork Chops and Potatoes
This was a little din din I whipped up the other night, and as you all know, I seriously just throw stuff together, with no measuring, just whatever. I think it's how I was raised, watching my mom add a little of this, a little of that, understanding what seasonings compliment each other, and what don't. So, I roll with it. And anything that is a homemade meal for my family amidst our chaotic evenings with homework, sports, and events and … [Read more...]
I love you, deer.
I'm not much of a taxidermy gal. Something about the dead animal thing on my wall kinda freaks me out. But I AM a lover of some recreated animal heads…. especially if they're sparkly and gold! …. I came across this CUTEST print from the darling Amanda at All Things Pretty... You guys know I have been polishing up my office, trying to make it my "girl cave" (leaving the dark wood in tact as much as I could), so when … [Read more...]
The 90 – 10 Rule, Re-Stated.
Happy Monday Morning! Mondays always seem to be a day that we push the reset button for getting things started, and I've always enjoyed chatting about healthy matters on Mondays since we seem to have the most sense of focus on that topic on that day of the week, so here I am again. Kinda a "from the archives" post here, because I've talked about it before, but just wanted to mention it again with fresh words. It's super simple and easy. I … [Read more...]
Spring Decor In The Home
We are officially into April and that means spring has FINALLY arrived. We can't always be outside to enjoy the lovely weather this time of year can bring, but we can certainly bring elements of the season into the home. When I think of Spring I think of new life, cheer, happiness, rejuvination, color and freshness. You can see a recent tv spot I did on KSBI52 Oklahoma Live show…. Key points to think remember: Bright … [Read more...]
Target Retro Striped Dress
You guys know by now I love knit dresses that I can throw on with some boots, flip flops, sandals, or in the case I'm going to show you today, heels. I think the reason why I love these easy going dresses so much is because they are so versatile. Dress them up, dress them down, they're comfy, easy to pack, and best of all, inexpensive! I call this a retro look because it reminds me of some things I had back in the … [Read more...]

The Nude Nail with a Party
I've been gradually moving out of the dark into the nudes. I've been into the nudes lately, as you might already know if you've been keeping up with me. {wink!} I mean THIS, silly friends! Today I'm talkin nails. I have my basics that I wear over and over on a seasonal basis, and I'm moving to the nudes. I'm not a huge red nail lover on myself because I can't stand the moment I get a chip. Just me. It drives me nuts, so I prefer the nude … [Read more...]
Cutting the Cokes
Now that spring is officially here, that means summer will be here before we know it, and when I hear summer, I think bathing suits. I know the countdown is on and time is running out before I have to look at this body in the mirror in a swimsuit, and so does the rest of the world when I go on vacation. So that means operation HURRY THE HECK UP in shedding a few pounds, like NOW is underway! HA! Am I terribly overweight? No. I'm just a few … [Read more...]
