Pugs and Uggs. Also, prayers for baby Abby!

{I have been having some issues with this video, so if it starts automatically, you might have to pause until you are ready to watch it! (video below) } 

I'm a momma this week. Word. ;) We had a "pug and uggs" themed Sunday yesterday. Sadie was thrilled as you can tell.

I can't even tell you the hysterical things that have come out of these girls mouths. Most thoughts pertain to my hair,  especially my need for highlights, or my lack of a husband and children. 

I mean you can't help but laugh. Love them so much. 

On another  SERIOUS note, my little sister's good friend and her family need our prayers and HELP! 

Exhibit A: Tasha and my sis. 

Tasha's sister, Rebecca, is going through a nightmare with her sweet baby girl, Abby. 

Abby has recently been diagnosed with a disease SO rare, that only four people are known to have it in the WORLD.

Please visit her website, HERE, and if you are able to help, please do so! 

Tasha, Rebecca, and little Abigail, you are being prayed for! 

Thank GOD for all of the healthy babies in the world, while we take care and support the ones who need our help!! Visit Abby's facebook page here.

Carrie. Thank goodness.

I was just thinking this the other day. 

We need new Carrie. 

Saw this on DON, had to repost, duh. 

Who's excited? 

What's yo favorite color baby?

Let's get one thing straight, pink is my favorite color. Wipe that surprised look off your face. 

But I probably have 2 pink clothing items, it's just not something I wear often. Recently I have become increasingly aware that I am in a color rut. 

It's chronic, and severe.

Here I am in my natural, neutral habitat. Tweeting. Texting. something of the sort. 

{Brown ruffle sleeve shirt, Arden B. Cream sparkle scarf Express, brown earrings Kenneth Cole, watch Fossil}

Out with big sis, and Jami last weekend. What do you know... cream and black dress. 

{note to self, do not EVER wear this cut of dress again. it does NOTHING for you PLL. sick. haha}

p.s. UK fans, you can rest assured I asked this sir above what his name was. I am an embarrassment to KY fans, seriously.

Aaaaaand low and behold. Cream, brown, and leopard scarf today. 

{scarf is Sperry, and I stole it from Chrissy}

I feel like every piece of clothing I own is straight out of my naked palette. 

Will someone please take me shopping immediately to buy some clothes that fall outside of this spectrum? I need a stylist. Currently accepting applications. ;)

LOL Designs

You all know I love some hair accessories. So what if I sometimes look like I am ready for the first day of kindergarten. I could care less, I love them. 

Check out these cutie ones I got from Jenn at LOL designs! LOVE 'em! 

LOVE the blue ones for UK games! I think I could use the big one in my hair, or on a cardigan, OR clip it to my purse for some added Kentucky spirit. 

I knew you guys would want to see them, so I just had to share! Don't forget to cheek out all of her adorable designs for yourself on her facebook or at her Etsy shop!  :) PS she also blogs here! 

I've got my eye on this wine and gold one! How stinkin' precious??

Lexington Girls: New Nail Salon!

Hey girls! It's Friday, and I know mani's and pedi's are great weekend activities, so I feel it necessary to let you know about my new favorite nail salon! 

I use to be a SpaNails girl, I mean common, they serve free wine. HELLO genius. 

But I discovered Aphrodite Nail Spa through a friend, and I LOVE it! 

It is brand new, located in Hamburg- kinda by Smashing Tomato, and it it SO pretty and clean. 

Also, all services are currently 20% off. I got a phenomenal pedi for $24! I kid you not my pedi lasted an hour and a half. It was amazing! 

And don't worry, Chrissy and I took our own bevies of choice. ;) 

Yup. Not kiddin'. 

So check it out, maybe I'll see ya there this weekend for a mani!

HANAair Hair Dryer from Misikko

Hello ladies. 

Let's have some more hair chat, shall we? 

A few months ago, Misikko sent me the HANAair hair dryer to try out. I wanted to give it a thorough trial period, before I let you guys know what I think, ya know, give ya the honest 411. 

Well, report card time people 

I love it. 

Absolutely love it. 

It came packaged up with tons of goodies, kinda like Christmas. 

Why is this hair dryer so great you ask? 

I found that this hair dryer dries my hair super fast, so I spend less time exposing my precious baby hair to heat. Also, I love the cool button, you can easily click it on or off for instant cold shots for setting etc. 

{that is a super bonus for those of us girls that are 900 degrees all the time;) }

It also helps make my hair super smooth and silky, something with the ION technology. IONO girls. 

In my opinion, It is really important to have quality hair care products. I mean, you are using them every day, and we all know of my recent hair situation, HA. I have become extra aware of what I am putting on my hair, and what heat products I am using to style my hair. 

I am in the market for a new straightener, I really want one with a heat setting, so I don't have to use a super high intensity one. Misikko also sells a bunch of high quality straighteners, and I currently have my eye on the croc infrared flat Iron. 

ALSO... 

you girls told me I needed to get Moroccan Oil. And you were right, of course ;) 

I have been using it, a teeny tiny amount (remember, fine thin hair here) and I have already noticed a substantial difference in my hairs texture.

Highly recommend :) Now go forth, and be a hair goddess.

Just some pics...

Not a whole lot going on over here. 

But Sadie has been quite the model as of late.

Exhibits A & B

Because I love that pig face so much, I bought her this fancy poo bag holder. Because, let's get serious,  IS there really a better way to spend $3 at Bed Bath & Beyond? 

What else... it snowed. Boom. 

I was house sitting for big sis all weekend, so I curled up on the couch to watch the Golden Globes and twit party with you girls. So fun. 

And if you were wondering, YES, Pearl the Jetta still has hew brand new allure. 

I've recently found myself making up errands, just so I can drive her.  

It's slightly ridiculous. 

Until tomorrow, xoxo

Don't get too excited. It's nothing fancy. And NO I am not going all domestic on you, but I did want to share this super easy recipe I stole from bis sis. 

So yeah, I can make about 4 things. 

1. Baked Ziti

2. White Chicken Chili

3. Filet mignon with goat cheese and balsamic glaze (wild card, I know) 

Aaaaand Vegetable Soup. 

That's about the span of my conquests in the kitchen...yea. 

Since it has decided to snow in Lexington, I have decided it is the perfect weekend to make this vegetable soup I am obsessed with. 

Let me show you how easy it is. AND it is super healthy :) win/win right? 

Recipe: 

3 cans V8 juice

3 cans Del Monte diced tomatoes (basil, garlic and oregano kind)

2 cans Del Monte corn

2 cans Del Monte sliced carrots

2 cans Del Monte diced potatoes

1 can Allens seasoned green beans, cut up. 

1 lb. stew meat, brown before adding to croc pot. 

Drain veggies first, then throw it all in, cook, eat. 

EASY people. ;) 

Oh and guess what else?

I am co-hosting a twitter party this Sunday as part of the Live Famously campaign. Tune in for all the red carpet gossip ;) Somebody is gonna win a trip to LA to meet Perez Hilton and live it up like a celeb... just sayin'

What's on your playlist? And a hair update...

Wow, I had NO idea you all were so helpful. Well actually I did, but still, THANK you for all of your comments yesterday! I have stocked up on many a product to fix this hair issue. Also I am laying off the heat. See… I didn't wash it this morning, OR poof it, I just went with it. Ha. 

{shimmery scarf from Express, earrings F21, and necklace is dogeared I believe}

Next topic up for discussion: I fear I am showing early signs of turning into my parents.

 I remember when my dad didn't want a cd player in his car like decades ago cause he liked his cassette tapes. Umm….

Well, I have this brand new car with all these features, and what do I wanna do? Listen to cd's. 

My phone bluetooths to my radio, so all of my songs go straight to the car, but I just can't get past wanting to listen to my cds. I think it's because they are easy, and I know them. Anyhoo, I am trying to be hip here and update my playlists so I can make use of this crazy technology. Lawwwd help us all. 

What cd's am I listening to right now? 

I'm so glad you asked. 

And of course... 

Where would a girl be without Miss Underwood ya know? 

My goal this weekend is to update the ole ipod with some new jams, it is 2012 for cryin' out loud. 

Currently taking song suggestions. GO. 

xoxo,
