"Me" Time

Hey lovely readers!  How are you?  

 How rainy and gross has this weekend been?  I've taken this weekend to get some much needed rest!!!  The legislative session is almost over and it has kicked my butt (just to be honest). 

 So this weekend the hubs went golfing with his buddies in Alabama and I got some much needed alone time :)  It almost felt like my single days again.  I got to watch exactly what I wanted on TV, snuggle with Mae and walk around in PJ's all day.  

 Is it just me or have you been glued to MTV all weekend?!  This retro real world weekend has made this rainy weather so much more bearable.  It has also reminded me of some awful fashion choices-chokers, doc martin's, hats and vests, lots and lots of vests!  

I also got some much needed stuff done around the house.  I got a jump on my spring cleaning and have a pile of goodies for the hubs to take to Goodwill when he returns.  I'm sure he will be thrilled :)  I also organized his Cool-Cat office...I hope he likes it!

 It was nice to get to do exactly what I wanted when I wanted.  I kinda needed a "me" weekend.  I think it's important to have alone time to rest up and get your perspective back.  

 I do have to admit I am ready for the hubs to come home.  I've had my alone time, my girl time with Mae and even handled the loud thunderstorm at 1 a.m. without him but now it's time for him to come on home.  

 No matter what you did this weekend I hope you got some much needed rest and "me" time.

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

A Sad Season

I have to tell you that these past few months and perhaps this year have been hard and yes sad.  My mother told me when we were talking about it that I was experiencing "a sad season" and I have to agree. Now this doesn't mean that everything has been awful, sad and terrible.  I haven't been in bed for weeks at a time with the covers over my head watching trash tv.  Instead I feel like it has been one of those times were the hits just keep on coming.  The bad news just keeps rolling in like ocean waves.  It has been a time of tremendous loss and sadness.  The events that have occurred aren't the same but it felt like every time I would get my ahead above water something else would happen.   It has been difficult because there are happy times mixed in to all of the sad.  In those times of happiness I have genuinely tried to be in the moment but my heart wasn't in the right place.  My heart has not felt happy and there has been an undercurrent of sadness tha
