Chase wants to wish you a Merry Christmas… And so do I! Because this holiday lends itself to sappy expressions of love and appreciation (and rightfully so!), I’m going to take this opportunity to be a Mushy Maureen and tell you all THANK YOU! Thank you for reading, for following, for forgiving (the unfiltered, ridiculous, totally idiotic and at times even offensive things I have said. Pleeeease forgive me?), for sharing your honest opinions (umm, GBO?), for becoming real-live friends, for spreading the word, for being kind, for not judging… for just coming back! The truth is I am grateful, and if I could I’d give each of you a good, warm, solid hug (the non-creepy, heterosexual kind). I’m off to go spend some quality/not-glued-to-my-computer time with these lovely peeps below and refocus on all this – the things that truly make my heart soar because they are what really matters – so…
The Weekly Woots & Woofs (plus an early Christmas gift)
Sorry I’ve been so M.I.A. lately peeps! Work has been straightup cray cray this week! I mean like STUH-RAIGHT. UP. CRU-HAAAAAAZY. To make it up to you, here’s an early Christmas present: we’re starting with the WOOFS for The Weekly Woots & Woofs this week, and trust me – these pics are gonna make you feel a WHOLE lot better about yourselves. The WOOFS That time when my room looked like this… about 90% of the time. Yep. Merry Christmas. The WOOTS Celebrated two years of blissful union to this dreamy-man-beast. WOOT WOOT! Hosted an epic little holiday fashion partay with THIS pretty lady at Apricot Lane Boutique! It was awwwwwesome. Early Christmas presents for the husband. Can you really go wrong with a camera that straps to your head? Or a talking, crying, toy baby? Whenever I asked him what he wanted for Christmas, his response was…
Two years ago today, this happened…
And I learned that he was SO worth the wait. The truth is guys – there are some feelings that are easy to describe: ‘I feel happy’ or ‘that’s so woof’, or ‘I’m pee my pants excited’. I’ve found however that other feelings can’t always be summed up so easily. They’re too significant, too deeply rooted, too tied up in the intangible and the inexplicable. Really, they are just too sacred. THAT is how I feel about my husband: I feel like I don’t know how to describe how I feel. It’s hard to find words that accurately portray feelings, isn’t it? They just don’t ever seem to do justice. What I CAN say is that nothing has ever put me at such a loss for words as do my feelings for this boy. He is the peanut to my butter. The toast to my jam. The ring to my bell. Most importantly, he…

Let’s Talk About Self Tanning…again
Remember this post? Well I got a bunch of follow-up questions about what KIND of self tanning lotion I use, so I thought I’d dedicate a post to filling you in! And this is EXACTLY what I look like when I’m done. K, not EXACTLY like that. Orrrr not at all? Here’s my IDEAL routine: a) Take a shower AT NIGHT. Shave & exfoliate. b) Put the tanner on. c) Next morning: rinse body off to get rid of the ‘tanner’ smell. I will admit peeps: there is one. Here’s what my ACTUAL routine usually looks like: a) Be too tired and too lazy to shower at night. b) Shower in the morning but be too lazy and too rushed to shave legs or exfoliate. c) Put tanner on after morning shower, despite my hairy legs and non-exfoliated skin. d) Smell like self-tanner all day. e) Awesome. Wait –…
