Great! I slept soundly last night (it’s a Christmas miracle!). The sun is shining, Tabs is behaving (for once), and I’m drinking a delicious cup o’ tea. Sometimes it’s all about the simple pleasures, ya know?
Eclectic. Wearable. Easy.
Hmm… This one’s tough because I’m a city girl at heart. It would either be San Francisco (I’m still plotting to move the family back there someday), Paris or Honolulu.
Whenever you fall, just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going.
Professional money spender. Seriously!
The freedom to set my own schedule, although I don’t take advantage of it very often.
Use Wet Ones antibacterial wipes to quickly clean your makeup brushes.
Find something/someone to care for.
A blue and white print sundress and a red cardigan with pearl buttons.
Do cardio at least three times before the next Sundays with Tabs, organize a different part of my office every day, and get to bed by 10!
Looks like it’s that time again, ladies — the start of what WILL be a great week for us all. 🙂

Sounds like I need a few of those wrinkle-free shirts in my life, STAT! The iron is my sworn enemy.
Anywho, where will you be heading for vacay in November?
Those shirts are a lifesaver. I’m so lazy I won’t buy any other kind. We have a housekeeper but I hate to waste her time with ironing too. Foxcroft is also a great brand for wrinkle-free — you can buy them onlien or at Nordstrom’s, and they go on sale there sometimes.
I’m going to China and Hong Kong in November — very excited! I haven’t been there in years :).
Thanks for the rec! I swear my number one requirement for clothes (besides hiding my muffin top) is that I don’t have to iron them.
How so VERY COOL that you’re heading out to China and Hong Kong! Do you speak the language?

Hi Kelly Jo,
I’ve heard Denver is a great place to live. Have you lived there for long?
Hey Karen,
I’ve been out here 6+ years. Decided after a college spring break that I wanted to live in Denver someday, then got my chance and haven’t looked back. They have a fun saying here – “Move for the winters, stay for the summers.” Come visit and see what they mean 🙂
I’d love to visit someday. I met a lady a few weeks ago who lives there who loves it! I’m not a big snow person though, LOL, but who knows… maybe someday I’ll fall in love with snowboarding!
Luckily, snow in Denver isn’t that often (minus this past winter tho!) and melts within a day or two since we’re so sunny and fairly temperate (for January at least). And snowboarding, on a powder day, sure can feel like surfing!!
That’s what I hear! I’d probably love it if I didn’t have to wear so much protective clothing, LOL!

5. What’s your dream job? I have a few. I'd love to either be a psychologist, wedding/event planner, beauty editor (Karen, wanna help me out?!), or a clothing/jewelry designer. Oh, I still have that dream of being a singer that I had when I was four, too 🙂
6. Your favorite part of your job? For now I'm a student, so learning and the fact that what I do now is helping to prepare me for my future.
7. What’s the first makeup or beauty tip that comes to mind? Use concealer on your lids to make your eyes look brighter instantly!
8. What’s the first non-beauty tip that comes to mind? Read the paper. It makes you more interesting.

I actually haven’t done it yet. But I’ve heard so many good things about it. I suffer from migraines and almost daily headaches-this is suppose to help with them. Anything that can help me from taking all the drugs the doc puts me on will be welcomed with a big hug! So we shall see! I will let you know how it goes, hopefully I can get in this week.

Doesnt help that all the mosquitoes in Houston have decided I would be their permanent buffet – I am chockfull of mosquito bites!!!
Hugs to Tabs from me and the furkids too! 🙂
Yikes! We are mosquito central here at the crack of dawn and at dusk. I do everything I can to avoid being outside at that time. I find that when I do get bites allergy meds help.
Hope you feel better soon. 🙂
