Gros Chat

Dress: Rory Beca Vest: My Tribe Wedges: Steve Madden

I have had this dress for several years now and it continues to be one of my favorites. Every spring and summer this red, orange and yellow tie dye just seems to speak to my soul. Paired with a FABULOUS black leather vest and some leopard wedges for a little edginess. Cute right?!?




Happy Tuesday!

Hair .. A Product Review

My hair is naturally curly. If I let it dry natural with just a little bit of product run through it, it looks like this ..

But I very rarely wear it that way. Honestly, as weird as this sounds, it's too much maintenance. You see .. I don't wash my hair very often. Once maybe twice a week. Call me crazy but my hair it too dry, it would turn to strait straw if I washed it everyday so .. I don't. Anyway to wear it curly I would have to wet it and run product through it every morning and blah blah blah and I don't want to do that.




I am a night showers person. I wash my hair and dry it upside down with a paddle brush. Then I go to sleep and until the next time I wash it, all I do is run a brush through it when I wake up. So this is what my hair looks like most of the time ..

On the last day or two before my next wash I have to spot treat the places that get a little too oily. Mainly through the front and the top because i run my hands through my hair all the time. I use baby powder. I just put it in my hands first and then feather it through the front and top of my hair. But the other day I was reading one of my favorite blogs, the daybook blog, and Sydney had posted a hair tutorial and she really likes suave dry shampoo. Feeling inspired, yesterday at the store I went in search of it. I found it for pretty cheap {it cost about $3} and I tried it out this morning. I gotta tell you .. Sydney is absolutely right. It works really well and smells awesome and doesn't leave your hair feeling icky and weird.

What I'm trying to tell you is that if you are in the market for some dry shampoo .. Suave is the way to go.

Happy Monday!

Pink Lace

Top: Joie Pants: Georgie Shoes: Gianni Bini

Surely this is not the first time I have mentioned my love of all things pink. It is true. I am as girly as they come. I love clothes and shoes and make up and doing my hair and my favorite color is pink. Hot pink. Always has been. Always will be. That being said, you can imagine my excitement to find pink lace pants!! They are phenomenal don't you think?! {ha!}

Happy Thursday!!

 

The Most Important Meal of the Day

At my house we are eaters. We do not skip meals. Especially since I love to cook. And that includes breakfast. I am every bit a morning person and I don't like to be rushed so I get up in plenty of time to do my devotional, work out, cook and eat breakfast, enjoy a couple of cups of coffee, get ready and even watch some of the news. I literally wake up a good three and a half hours before I have to leave the house for work. It is glorious. I love that time.

I generally try to cook pretty healthy. Calorie, fat, and salt conscious and I try to have a good balance of all of your necessary food groups. During thanksgiving I linked you guys over to the pioneer woman's blog for her cinnamon rolls recipe. It is decadent and delicious and if you like to cook you have to try them. So so yummy! But they are a treat. Not intended to every week use. At least not for me. So this morning I made cooking light's version of cinnamon rolls. Also very yummy! Not quite as decadent but satisfying for sure.

after the icing .. oh yeah!!

This is what RT's breakfast plate looks like on any given morning..

Sometimes there is fruit or a muffin instead of the cinnamon rolls. Sometimes the bacon is sausage. Sometime his eggs and sausage are in a tortilla. But I make eggs every morning that he is at home. My plate looks the same with a little less eggs and minus the bacon/sausage. I use one whole egg and five eggs whites and scramble them up with a little milk, salt and pepper and we choose either center cut bacon or the package that has the most meat on it.

 

Happy Tuesday!!

 

Brown

This past Saturday I had so much fun out shopping with my mom!! One of the things I am in need of is a new brown wedge/summer heel so we went to Nordstrom thinking we would find it no problem. Many pair later, I still had not found anything I loved. Several were fine but where I come from fine just isn't good enough ya know what I'm sayin.

Still in search, I have spent much of today scouring the Internet and these are my favorite options but I'm still just not sure I have found THE one.
