Today, it's story time on TheOPLife, but this has a nice moral at the end, so stay with me. My family grew this summer by one member. We added Flo. Flo is the gianormous pink flamingo we got on vacation. We were in Grand Cayman, staying at the Ritz Carlton, and every day on my way to the beach, I'd pass the little poolside shop outside that had the usual things most poolside shops have... SPF, sunglasses, water cameras, cover ups, … [Read more...]

Swimsuits, Getting Personal and a Giveaway
So before I begin rambling, lemme begin by saying I'm off to the beach this Friday and that means I've been in swimsuit hunting mode, and with that, wanting to try NEW things, but yet going back to the same ole thing and what I think looks good on me.

Foods were measured in points and things with ZERO points were always top on my list. This little concoction is something I created and was one of those top on my list. And believe me, once you try it, you'll see for yourself, you don't have to be a … [Read more...]
Hot Pink and Mint
Yesterday I talked about a staple for our closet, the white jean. Just one of many ways to wear it, today I've paired it with a fun new top from BuddyLove and Bow and Arrow. You guys have seen my uniform, so many grey's, neutrals, browns, that this definitely shouted out HAPPINESS and cheer to me. This top instantly made me smile and instantly brought on cheer. It's not neon, but it's not subdued… a perfect color for the … [Read more...]
Jet Lagged and Adjusting
This is me a few days ago.... I was trying OH so hard to catch a bit of zzzzzzzz's, considering I had pulled an all nighter the previous evening. Let's see.... traveling 23 hours, an 8 hour time difference and add the all nighter to the equation and you have one TIRED mama! So I'll be back chatty with you VERY soon, I promise. And I've decided I'll sprinkle bits and pieces of my vacation (because I do have lots to share) in between other … [Read more...]

Wrapping up some thoughts and images of Paris for you. A few final pictures that captured some of the uniqueness and beauty this fabulous city had to offer...
