What Happened To The Weekend?

Ok is it just me or does the weekend feel like the fastest 2 days of the week?!  We travel a lot on the weekends or have events/parties etc. if we are in town so it is rare to be in town and have no plans.  Often times we can go months before we have a free weekend to just get stuff done!

This weekend was one of those weekends we had free and to say we squeezed all we could into 2 days would be an understatement! 

It started with me doing some personal pampering (that's what the hubs calls it) or what I like to call maintenance.  I hit up the nail place and got my gel manicure done. 


Before...


And After....Soo much better!!



I then headed over to Natural Body Spa in Brookhaven to see my fav gal Sally and get a much needed microderm facial and some waxing done.  If you've never had a microderm facial before you need to make an appointment and go at once!



On my way back to the house I swung by my TJ Maxx.  I am newly obssesed with the TJ Maxx by our house!  They have the best stuff and of course I've already figured out when they get their weekly shipments in so I had to run by and see what they had.  Strike up the band because the Lilly fairy had just visited :)  I scored this dress that I was obssesed with last year for $69.99 (regular price $298) and they had my Lilly Wink Perfume for $14....SCORE!



I then ran home to do some much needed cleaning and to do our laundry.  Ok something is wrong with the hubs and I because on average I do 4 loads of laundry a week!  What in the world?  The hubs blames it on our workouts but I blame it on us only wearing something once and then throwing it in the dirty clothes hamper.  In any event being faced wtih a mountain of laundry isn't fun!



After knocking out the laundry the hubs and I headed out to test drive cars.  I need a new car in the worst way but we have been putting it off!  We have narrowed it down to two options. 

My choice is the Lexus




The Hubs prefers the Acura



Anyone care to be the tie breaker?  :) 


After that I headed to the grocery store and I'm not sure how picking up a few things turns into my shopping cart looking like I'm buying groceries for a family of four but whatevs!


 


I rounded out the weekend working on our house.  The hubs and I finally agreed on flooring options, yay!  I found some good wall art options for our entryway and upstairs hallway.  And finally I am getting new counter stools and have narrowed down my fabric choices to four options.  Any thoughts? 


 

I ended the weekend snuggled up with Mae and watching movies!  Frankly I'm exhausted and for some reason so is Mae, Mae :)

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

Old School Calendar

Soo I have a case of the Mondays and by the way it's Tuesday....booo!  I had a super fun weekend at Steeplechase and honestly wish Steeplechase happened about once every month because it was such a good time.  :) When the hubs and I returned on Sunday from Cville we started talking about all the upcoming events/weddings/trips/business trips etc. we had coming up in the next 5 months and it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest!  I know I have all these things coming up but to be honest they are sneaking up on me.  For example I will be in St. Simons for a work conference next week and I completely forgot.  I leave the day after my birthday (is it just me or do birthdays get let special the older you get?)  So I have been scrambling all day to make my travel arrangements and in general get my sh!t together. I realized that I'm probably going to have to buy an old school day planner to keep the hubs and I organized over the next six months.  When I mentioned this
