Weekend Update: Perez, Family Feud, and Ashley's bridal shower!

Soooo... updates! My interview with Perez Hilton was so fun! 

The girls and I had our weekly girls night at my house last Thursday, so we could put Perez on speaker phone, and have fun with it. Sadie was also really excited. Obvi. 

And yes, we let Jami come even though she is brunette ;) I kid I kid...

More to come on all things interview with Perez in a separate post, but I can tell you that he tweeted me, post our convo, about the Kentucky Derby. I told him to come with, and we could both wear fabulous fascinators. ;) 

Moving on... Saturday morning we had auditions for Family Feud. 

Baby sissy, love her!

See... not kidding.

Also more to come on this {hopefully!} can't divulge too much, but I can tell you the executive producer loved us, and I am pretty sure we left our mark! ;) Don't want to jinx it just yet! 

Saturday fun did not stop after that. I had a bridal shower to get my tail to, and had to stop at the office not once but TWICE to download pics from my computer. So what did I do while I was waiting? Has a photo shoot of course. 

The bridal shower was for my friend Ashley. I appointed myself creative director {since the only cooking I do is in a crock pot} so I took care of all things decor. I jacked the frames from my bedroom, and just filled them with pics of the adorably lovers. 

{tall votives from Michael's, signs I made, and frames from all over my house!}

Totally copied these cupcakes from pinterest. I am sure you have ALL seen them. But they turned out precious! Thanks Chrissy for being our catering manager! ;)

Anything printed, I made. :) AND they matched the invites.  OOOhh ooooooooh {baby momma voice}

{card holders from Michael's, mirror accents from Dollar Tree, and pink pom pom's from Party City!}

I am beyond blessed with an amazing group of girlfriends. I just love em!

I wore my cousins dress, from H&M, earrings from WorldsApart, and my nude Louboutins.

After all the momma's left, we got our after party on. Duh. John Wall shots anyone?

Successful weekend! Loved talking to Perez, playing Family Feud, and even though I burned the shizz out of my fingers with a hot glue gun, I loved every second of planning all the decor for the shower!

I gotta go, Sadie is on the kitchen counter.

Catch up time. This post is all over da place...

oh hey, there you are. Sorry I have been MIA. 

What have I been up to? Why have I been away from y'all? Well... I did makeup for a wedding last weekend. This girl's to be exact. And 90 % of the gorgeous bridal party. 

It's really not fair how beautiful Miss Ashley is. She looked incredible.

I also spent Friday night at work happy hour. We celebrating the big 4-0 of one of my co-workers. I made sis join as well. 

This week I have been cursing one hot glue gun burn at a time whilst preparing for a bridal shower we are throwing this weekend. Sadie has been quite attentive. 

And tonight I will be preparing for my interview with Sir Perez Hilton, that is scheduled for TOMORROW! It is part of the Live Famously campaign I have been helping promote. You might remember it from here. 

Any idea WHAT in the world I should ask him????

ALSO happening tomorrow? The premier of this lady's new song Good Girl! 

Sneak peak here, in case you haven't seen it! WHO'S EXCITED?

And last but surely not least. 

I am not sure you are ready for this one, but Family LouLou is auditioning for Family Feud this weekend. I kid you not. Sis wrote them and here we are. 

It will be the sissies, momma, and my cousin Lucy.

Why yes, I did include a pic of sissies and I getting kicked out of a fountain on family vacay. Why? for pizzaz. 

If we actually get on this show, I will crack UP. I am not sure if they are ready for us... but here is to hoping! 

xoxo, I promise to keep you posted on all fronts.

Do we call this mint?

Mint has been everywhere, and we all know it is so hot right now for spring. 

Well looky who got some mint. 

Moi. 

Billie Jo (aka bis sis)

Got me the gorgey mint scarf and earrings pictured above. They came from WorldsApart, LOVE that store!

I am loving all things pastel, except for hair (Katy Perry and Kelly Osbourne)

 I feel a spring shopping trip coming on.

What are your must have spring trends? I need to be in the loop. GO.

Pugs love HUGS! Valentine's Day pug party recap...

That's right. 

This weekend Sadie and I attended a pug party at Incredipet. 

Sadie's sister Maggie Davis, and her cousin Champ, also went with us. I would like to give Maggie Davis the best dressed award, she really put the extra effort in with the pearls, and her magnificent flower accessory. 

Sadie can be seen sporting her pink fur coat, complete with her bbsimon swarovski collar. 

There were refreshments for all two, and four legged attendees. 

Games, and pug pandemonium ensued. Sadie dominated finding all traces of food first. #fatty.

It was clearly a family affair. Me and my cousins Lucy and Ginny, with their pugs Maggie and Champ. 

This next litte, err... not so little pug was my favorite. Her name was Baby, and I am pretty sure she was pushing 35 pounds. Laurel could barely hold her! Hilarious. I wanted to pugnap her, and sneak out with her in my purse, but I am not sure she would have fit.

It was a snortfest. for sure. 

And no, that is not a cocktail in that blue solo cup, it is water people! Aside from popular belief, I can attend functions sans bevie. haha

If that doesn't just make you SMILE on the Valentine's Day, then I don't know what will. Happy Valentine's day loves! xoxo

Carrie at the Grammys 2012

One word. Flawless. 

Carrie was sporting some verrry long lashes. She is Carrie, she can do anything she wants. I loved everything about her look. The dress, the hair, her signature gorgeous makeup. She can do no wrong IMHO. DON's got the deets on her amaze dress.

Ello gorgeous. 

Why is she just the cutest thing in the whole world? I mean really, stop it. 

Can't wait for her new single, Good Girl, out on the 23rd!! 

Also, do I have a treat for you tomorrow. Pug party '12 pics. You are not even ready. #snortfest.

Babies, babies, BABIES! And they need our help.

A few days ago I posted about sweet baby Abby, who has a very rare disease, so rare only FOUR people have it.

This is just the most amazing part- Heather, a fellow blogger contact me about wanting to do a giveaway for a good cause, and told me she wanted to help little baby Abby. My heart was so touched. Heather is doing a giveaway, where ever dollar you donate, is an entry in her giveaway! It is truly the sweetest thing I have ever been a part of. Please please check out the wonderful, informational, and super touching post she did on baby Abby HERE! So so sweet. There were over $300 in donations on the FIRST day!! Let's all do our part where we can to help, weather it be donating, or praying for this sweet baby girls health.

Here is Abby with her Auntie Tasha! Tasha and my sister are BFF's!

Help Abby on Facebook.

Baby Abby on the news here.

Also, in more baby news, my cousin Jessica had an emergency c-section two days ago, at 25 weeks. 

My cousin Jess, and her hubby Grant. 

If you were reading last year, Jess may look familiar from this post, when her mother passed away.

Well Jessica, Grant, and sweet baby girl Elise need our prayers again.

I don't know all the details of why the c-section happened, but I do know that it was absolutely necessary, for mommy and baby. 

Elise was born weighing 1 lb,  4 oz. Her apgar scores were good, so that is very encouraging. She has been a little fighter, and each new day brings new news. 

She is just a little miracle. 

Please pray for sweet baby girl's health, for excellent doctors and nurses, and for peace for my cousin Jessica and Grant, & their families. I cannot imagine how hard this is on them, but I do know how strong Jessica is, and I know she is being the best mommy in the world, just like her momma :)

Love you Jessica, Grant, AND little lady Elise!

Diet and Exercise. Wait... WHAT?

When I put my mind to something, I usually do it. Right now that something happens to be getting in tip top shape for my friend Ashley's wedding in June. We are wearing these gorgeous blush colored, super flowing dresses, and lets just say it will look a LOT better on yours truly if I could just step on the scale, write that number down, subtract fifteen, and then weigh that. 

 {5 points if you know that movie!}

So yes, I am watching what I eat, and I am flirting with the idea of getting back in the gym, and pure barre. ;) 

I am a weight watchers girl at heart. 

WHY? Because it is easy, and it works for me. Follow me here, I find it provides structure AND flexibility. 

So what is on my must haves list? I am sort of a creature of habit, It's my thing, let it go. I also don’t have a lot of time, so quick and easy options are what I lean towards. 

I LOVE yoplait light yogurt, specifically white chocolate strawberry, but any in the family of strawberry will do. Pair that with a 100 calorie english muffin, boom, breakfast. 

Lunch and dinner I have been eating lean cuisines, with a salad, or chicken with fresh veggies. Sometimes I will get Subway or Jimmy Johns. GUILTY. ;) 

{sidenote, I am aware that there are tons of preservatives in frozen foods, but hey, they are easy. If you wanna come cook me fresh organic meals, be my guest. I promise I will welcome it}

For snacks, I eat a lot of fresh fruit. Oh yeah and I am addicted to the skinny cow candies. Ummm, hello heaven. 

And then, because I just can't let it go… I have to have mac n cheese, or spaghettio's once a week. Preferably in these shapes. 

I have also been drinking mucho water. Let's get serious, diet coke ain't exactly beauty elixir knowwhatimsayin? I also am cutting down the cocktail cals but sticking with my signature, vodka and soda. Mmmmm. 

Throw in a lime or two and you have one happy PLL. 

As far as working out goes, well, I need to do that.

This has been circulating around Pinterest:

Well hey there, Carrie, damn glad to meet ya. 

Maybe once I master these moves I'll have legs like this, no? 

; ) Anyhoo, I'll keep ya posted on le progress. 

I shouldn't be allowed to have an iphone.

Yup. 

another one bites the dust. 

I am on my 7th iPhone y'all. SEVENTH. I exaggerate not. 

iPhones all tend to meet the same fate while in my possession. Sometimes it's the toilet. Sometimes they get run over. Or sometimes they just jump out of my hands. 

Grrrr. 

I am not a happy camper right now. I had high hopes to hold out until the new iPhone5 came out, but it appears I am gonna have to go ahead and get a new one now. Bogus. 

I think I am gonna go with the white. Why not? 

In other news, I got low lights. 

Like 5 of them. HA. SEEEE?!

Brittney and I discussed that it may help with my situation, which is actually doing a lot better. It was just that one little spot, so I have no idea what happened. Anyhoo, she assured me that all of my baby hairs were doing just fine. 

And yes, if you happened to notice, I do have a little braid hidden in the messy updo today. It's fun right? I just braided a little section before I put it up, and then pinned it back when I put my hair in a ponytail. 

Easy enough :)

Y'alls comments yesterday have be scouring Pinterest for above my bed inspiration. I got some great ideas, thanks ladies!
