Taters

I got to sneak away from work last Wednesday to see some people I really have missed. My sister-in-law, Loni, was on her way to visit her family in Wyoming and decided to take a 4 hour layover in Utah. Their family moved all the way to Alabama last June and we haven’t been able to see them since. Little Tate was just 1 years old, now he is almost 2 and SO much bigger than I remember. I didn’t realize how much I have missed having little kids around; my nephews that live here are 13 & 10. So having Tate come here was pure bliss for my family, now we just need Whit to have her baby to fill that gap we are missing!! We were so sad Ayden and Ellie couldn’t come..and I guess we’re sad Spencer couldn’t come too ;)! Thanks again Loni for stopping in and we miss you guys already!

Have you read this blog? It’s my read everyday kinda blog, I love it and I love it even more after this post. This is SERIOUSLY something I needed to read today.

I came to work today feeling so blah, not only did I fall asleep with wet hair, I still didn’t even do my hair this morning. My outfit is just thrown together and I am pretty sure I forgot make up, not a good combination of things on my part. I am the type when I don’t feel cute, it kinda ruins my whole day as pathetic as that sounds.  Like Alycia, I tend to only spend quality time getting ready when I have plans. I’ll save all my cute, well put together, outfits for those days and the rest will just be whatever I find in my closet at 530 AM. Guys, 530 AM never has good intensions for an outfit, never ever. And as for the hair, it’s usually down, I can’t stand having my hair up, and not curled or straightened.

I am sure people don’t care how I look, if my hair isn’t done, but I do. I like to feel good about myself, rather than hiding myself because I wanted more sleep rather than to get ready.

As women, we have always been told to take care of ourselves each day. I have always known the importance of a good appearance, even when life is busy. So I really have no excuse to not taking the extra 15 minutes each morning to better my appearance/day.

I want to change this, I am sure it will take effort and some days I won’t follow through but it’s progress; Progress towards looking and feeling my best every day.

 I love everything Alycia had to say and I love that she is documenting her challenge to dress up more. If I get the courage I may join her on those outfit posts, maybe.

Do you agree?

Frames

Sooooo I am in a pickle here peeps, I decided to try out Warby Parker for my new glasses. They have this awesome try 5 at home free thing, where they send you 5 frames, FOR FREE, to try at home. Well they did not disappoint cause I cannot choose which pair to get. So far I have narrowed it down to Willoughby, Fitz and Zagg…now PLEASE help me choose!

1. Willoughby

2. Fitz

3. Linwood

4. Zagg

I also got these ones, but automatically did not like them.

This is proof I need to take more pictures, I can only make 3 pages for 2012 so far...

Photography

I planned a joint photo shoot last weekend my friend Kylee and I am SO happy how well they turned out. Kylee taught me A TON and I feel like I helped her some too! And bonus it was for my adorable friend Randi and her fiance.

Love the love in these photos.

Big First Birthday

Little pup turned the big 1 on Saturday, he spent his day napping, going on his first adventure/photoshoot and endless playing. I think it's safe to say that without Crosby, Ben and I would be pretty boring. We love that little pup more than anything!

I have a confession, I am an American Idol junkie and I love it. I don’t think any year will compare to the year of Adam Lambert & Kris Allen BUT, at least this year we don’t have Scotty, Ben and I still hate that he won. Anyway, even though it just started I already have favorites who I am pretty sure could win the whole thing. Like Ben’s long lost brother, Phillip, I swear they look alike and act even more alike. And Elise, She has a little Colbie Caillat swag to her, but I also really like Shannon & Colton.
 Who are your favorites?
