Friday Five

1. I'm wearing camo pants at work today! I love these pants but hadn't worn them to work yet. I try not to wear anything weird or fashion-y to work because it just blows peoples' minds here. I saw a sweater I liked the other day and turned it around and it buttoned up the back? And I immediately stuffed it back on the rack. There's no way I'd put up with people joking that my sweater is on backwards for 10 hours. I figured in the realm of printed jeans, camo would be the easiest to get away with in my work environment. I'm typically...

Seven

1. Never realize how boring you are until someone asks you what you do in your spare time? I really liked this article on pinning down passions you don't even know you have yet! 2. THIS BOOTY WORKOUT - yowza, and only took ten minutes!  3. Sarah M. Dorsey's home tour - She's my style soul mate. I'm smitten with every little detail. 4. Honeymoon planning - Travel & Leisure's top affordable all-inclusive resorts 5. Slipped this recipe for Paleo blondies in to the dinner recipe list I gave my aunt. Hey,...

Chef Shay Shay

Ok, so Daryl and I recently took DINKing to a whole new level. Ever since the engagement the new year the holidays (let's be honest here), D and I have been just awful at grocery shopping. Every once in a while I get super motivated and hit HEB... just to let our produce go bad. We eat out for almost ever. single. meal. It's so bad/unhealthy/financially irresponsible but it's true. With engagement pictures on the horizon, I've been hitting the gym pretty hard (doing the Jamie Eason Live Fit program) and I'm pretty good at eating well...

Hip to be Square

Well, I spent most of my day with a space heater pointed at my crotch. #BlogGold So my right hip is revolting. I have no idea if heat is good or bad for a pulled muscle (or if what's ailing me is even a pulled muscle) but it sure does feel great (the heat, not the sore muscle). I can't figure out what it is. Any time I do cardio longer than 10 minutes or so, my right hip flexor starts aching. And if I keep going past 10 minutes, it starts hurting and it spreads to where my entire hip aches, for hours after my workout. It doesn't hurt...

Wedding Planning Part I

So I'm a little torn on how much of my wedding planning I should blog! I think I'm going to do more blogging about the wedding after the fact, so my guests are a little surprised with the details I am pouring my heart in to (thank you baby Jesus for secret Pinterest boards!) But I wanted to give a couple updates since it's what I'm spending SOME of my free time doing instead of blogging! So I mentioned a while back that I chose colors so I figured that I'd share. I'm going with black, white and sparkly gold. Not like... yellow, but...
