Tears!!!

If you haven't seen Bridesmaids, you have got to see this movie!  One of the funniest I've seen in a long time, seriously...it was a stomach achin-tear rollin-jaw droppin-laugh out loud over and over kinda movie!

Grab your girlfriends and go...see...it

11 days left...

I am finally going to New York!!!  This might be a regular travelers life to some, and every day life to others, but as a big city chic trapped in a small town midwesterners life, it has been on my wish list for as long as I can remember...the lights, the sounds, the museums, the FASHION, the talent, the food, the hustle and bustle...I am giddy with excitement.  I can hardly contain myself.  

I am hoping to find vintage/thrift shops, try a canoli, visit landmarks, gauk at a tv/movie/music video being shot, admire street fashion, swoon at the characters at an opera, which I've never been to...sigh...will I be a defector when the vacation is over and just stay???  I don't trust myself...

FRESH START!

Sadly, it's been over a year since I have blogged.  I was new and didn't know what I was doing...still don't,  but I want to give it a go again, start over...fresh and new.

So, as part of my long list of new year's resolutions, I am going to stay committed to regularly blogging, it might not be daily, but it will be regular.

Friday Favorites....A-Z

Geesh, it is already Friday, I mean, I'm not complaining or anything but it just kinda sneaks up on a girl.  Well, today on this Fabu Friday Favorites I have dedicated it to just one topic starting with the letter "E"...yes friends it is the EIGHTIES.  Now, being a child of the 80's I am a bit partial to this era, but, I didn't love it all.

Go back with me if you will and revisit those good ol days.  Oh how I luuuv 80's movies.  They just don't make them like they used to....

Diane von Furstenberg...need I say more?

 

 I luuuuv this woman.  Such a beautiful design sense.  Her dresses are so colorful-almost ethnic looking, and flowy.  They always look so comfortable....if only I could afford them.

 

Regrets...

Sometimes life can get the best of us.  We all go through our ups and downs, ins and outs, and probably have all had that shoulda-woulda-coulda moment...or two, Lord knows I have.  

Do you have any regrets about where you are right now in your life?  Are you feeling that shoulda-woulda-coulda moment right now?  If so, what plans do you have to change it?

Procrastination

So, I am the worlds worst procrastinator.  As much as I'd like to deny it...which I do most of the time...I hate that I do it.  And to make it worst, I am a perfectionist.  So what does that translate into....When it comes to letting my creative juices flow, nothing is ever good enough so I just don't do it hence the reason for not blogging for months.  I was really excited about it at first and now...Agh!
BABY STEPS...

Women, we need to take care of ourselves!

With so many tools available to us today, why aren't we caring for ourselves? We have health care professionals, the internet, the library, television, and each other to reference. If you have an itch, what do you do...you scratch it! We spend plenty of time and money making ourselves unhealthy, why not put that energy into making ourselves healthy. Put down the sodas and sip on some herbal teas and water (you can lose a couple of pounds just doing that). Snack on fruits and veggies throughout the day instead of chips and candybars. Eat smaller portions slower and have plenty to drink with each meal, and I guarantee you will lose weight before you know it (without even realizing it). Here's to your health. Love yourself, care for yourself, and others will too.

Are you a slave to fashion?

As I continuously peruse fashion magazines, websites, television shows, and yes music videos-I watch them for the clothes, hair, and makeup (I said a slave to fashion and I meant it) memorizing designs and designers, picturing myself in these amazing silk, lace, and chiffon pieces of art, hearing them call my name, I say to myself, "Princess, snap out of it honey! With the economy the way it is now, who can afford to be a slave to fashion?" Well, we can! You can be the Queen of Knock-offs and no one will be the wiser. I like to play "the look for less" when I shop and I think I drive my friends crazy with it sometimes. Here is how it works: Surf the web for your favorite fashionable star or runway look, or tear pictures out of your magazines of your new favorite looks and take them shopping with you. Those new "it" $200 bleached skinny jeans can be purchased at Target for $20 and bleached at home for free. That hot new dress might come to life in the form of a top and a skirt, that gotta-have-it new cuff might look just like the chain link belt or necklace hanging on the clearance rack. So, be creative, use your reference pics and happy shopping!

What is the #1 most important element in a relationship to you?

Everyone loves to be in love, but when the honeymoon is over, honey, now the real work begins! It's not enough to just be in love...or is it?
