For the Momma’s…

 

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the mothers out there!  Whether you get to be with your momma, or momma’s with their little bits, I hope you have a fabulous day.  As someone who did not always have the easiest time on this day – I am sorry and know you are not alone AND don’t ever lose hope.  Miracles do happen – redemption is real – and I say that as someone who almost did give up and is living this very real redemption.  I love my momma and wouldn’t want any other lady to be my mom.  Just look at us…

 

…that sweet love has been restored and I couldn’t be happier.  Happy Mother’s Day, Momma!  Love you so much and am SO thankful for your life!!  And Happy Mother’s Day to all the other lover mothers!

Are you doing anything for Mother’s Day?  Do you have any fun mother/daughter traditions?

Much love,

B

A Full Free Weekend…

 

It is Easter weekend and because of that I have a “normal” weekend – aka a weekend off from Yoga Teacher Training.  It is fun to get time to catch up with some friends.  Tomorrow I will be checking out a new church in the AM and then heading to celebrate Easter with some of my friends who have become my family.  I love getting to spend the holidays with them.  However, this year I do have to bring my own food since they are southern and cook holiday meals with butter being the main ingredient, oh well – totally worth it to get to be with them!

What are you doing to celebrate Easter weekend?  Have a great weekend!

Much love,

B

Luck of the Irish…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day weekend, lovies!  Where ever you find yourself, no matter your nationality – put on your green and let your inner Irish out.  I am fairly Irish, but the only green beverages I will be drinking this year are green smoothies and green tea soy lattes.  Even with that, I still plan to hang out with friends and enjoy the fun spirit of the day.

What are you doing to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

Much love,

B

That Girl…

 

Have fun this weekend, but please behave and don’t be that girl.  The Irish know how to have fun, but find a way to keep it classy…or so we tell ourselves…

Any fun plans for St. Patty’s Day?

Much love,

B

Five Loves…

 

I love her hair.  I love her hair so much that the other night when I laid eyes on it I immediately scheduled a hair appointment for an ombre treatment to my locks.  I have had grown out blonde chunky highlights for son long, it seemed like the best idea to change up my look some.  When I get inspiration, I go with it, instantly.

 

I love tattoos and have been craving another.  Specifically, one on my mid back like this. I would prefer a design similar to this but more with an elephant in it, I know shocking – I want an elephant tattoo.  This is serving as inspiration to get on the designing of my next one…

 

Her look is stylish, chic and simple.  A lovely lady inspiring me this fine Friday.

 

Winter refuses to leave.  So, I am taking this photo and using it as my inspiration to go have fun and play in the snow.  Have to make the most out of everything, right?!!

 

I am absolutely obsessed with these stunning new shoes that I simply had to have the other day when I laid eyes on them.  I still was on the hunt for the perfect Valentine’s Day outfit.  These little gems were the perfect inspiration to be the muse for my whole look, so naturally I had to purchase them – plus, I got 20% off for having on red (which happened to be a pair of Christmas socks due to it being laundry day – worked out well for me)!!

What are you drawing inspiration from this week and loving?

Much love,

B

Happy Valentines Day, Lovies…

 

Happy Valentines Day, lovies!!  Hope you find a way to share your love today no matter if you have that special someone as your Valentine or if you share it with a group of your dear friends.  After a full day at work, I will be heading to a dinner party with some friends and then going to one of my favorite places in the city for cocktails with a few of my favorite single ladies.  We will be looking gorgeous in our shades of red and pink, celebrating love and sharing it with one another.  It has been a long standing tradition to go out with my girlfriends on Vday, and this year it is even more important to celebrate with all the new singleness that seems to have hit our group – but that is alright, because what’s more fun than a group of single ladies?!  A group of newly single ladies, that is what!

 

 

Do you have plans for Valentines Day?  How will you be celebrating?  What will you be wearing?

Much love,

B

Tea Time…Valentines Style…

 

Today is the third annual Valentines Tea with all the girlies!  I love that my girlfriends all enjoy, or at least play along nicely, getting together to celebrate all things pink, red and covered in hearts that is Valentines Day.  It is simply fabulous.  I best be off and get back to hosting – and when did I become such a little hostess?!  Who knew I loved hosting this much?!!  Glad I found out, because I seriously cannot get enough of it.

Do you get together with your girlfriends to celebrate different holidays?  What are some of your traditions?

Much love,

B

Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve…

 

With Valentines Day right around the corner, it has me looking for the perfect accessories to wear my heart on my sleeve – or my finger, ears, wrist or around my neck.  I personally am a fan of something simple and delicate.  I also really like the idea of layering a few delicate pieces together to make a bigger statement, but let it be my own personal creation.  Adding little pieces like this is a subtle way to embrace the Valentines’ spirit.

 

 

 

How do you feel about heart jewelry?  Is it for you or not so much your style?

Five Loves…

 

This is an MTV promo and I am obsessed with it.  My roommates make fun of me because every time it comes on the screen I have a mini freak out about how magical this scene is.  Seriously, I could stare at it for hours and just get lost in the forest with the little creatures.

 

So, here is the reason why I get to see that lovely little promo ad so often.  Underemployed.  My new favorite show.  My girlfriends and I are obsessed with it.  Maybe it is the whole being able to relate to at least one of the story lines or the fact that it is set in Chicago – midwest represent – or maybe it is just because it is all around fabulous.  Check it out.

 

These shirts are fabulous, and the fact that they go to a good cause (multiple sclerosis (MS) research) makes me love them so much more.  I personally love that the period falls pretty much right where Duluth is, my hometown.  I basically need to have this shirt, consider it ordered.  You can get your state here.

 

This outfit on this man – pretty please?!!  I girl is not asking too much – actually, can I just have this outfit to put on a different man?  That would be perfect in my eyes.

 

It is officially February – you know what that means, bring on the celebration of love!!  My favorite holiday is just around the corner so I will be celebrating all month long with heart shaped everything.  Starting with these lavender shortbread cookies – can we say yum?!!

Happy February loves, what are you loving?? Have you watched Underemployed?

Much love,

B

Party Party Party…

 

Now, I thought after the new year life was supposed to slow down, right?!!  Yeah, not the case this year.  This year, the parties continue.  Last night I went to two holiday parties, and this evening I am off to two more parties – I mean guess that keeps life exciting.  Though, not going to lie – I wouldn’t mind a quiet night in cuddled up on the couch with a few close friends – at least the close friends are at the parties.  And the funny part is, all of January is filled with parties – somewhat odd for a month that does not have any major holidays in it…

Is your January slowing down or are you still full speed ahead with the holiday parties?

Much love,

B
