How to Sparkle: key #Pick3812One249

I just finished a fabulous evening of hairapy, squawking, Oreo eating & clothes swapping with the incredible Kerry Flegal. (Hi, I’m spoiled. but grateful)

As I’ve grown my style has shifted with me, but I have never forgotten the power of a quality hairstylist. And that somehow, they pass that power on to you when you get out of their chair.

We’ve all got it in us to conquer our “can’ts” in order to turn our dreams into reality. I believe a beautiful, classy, and fierce look adds the sparkle that helps light the difficult roads we all find ourselves at during the journey to do so.

I never tried to find my Christmas presents when I was wee because I love the thrill a surprise provides. So naturally, I wait to look at my hair until it’s perfected when I’m at hairapy with my lifesaving hairapist.

After hours of detailed work, each strand was perfectly aligned with the other. The colors melted together so beautifully you’d hardly believe the art was created by anything but hot days in the ocean near the sun..

I looked at myself in the mirror and said “I’m ready to conquer the world.

The best part is, I meant it.

All my love, Sparkling-Bee

Find a penny, pick it up…

Dear Kate Spade, if your prices weren’t so exorbitant I’d rock more than your beautiful quotes. I will continue to love you even though we can’t really be together the way I would like us to be. After all, it’s the thought that counts.

Yours truly, Playful-Penny-Pincher

If you had to describe yourself in four words, which would you choose? It’s okay if you want to use sexy & beast, I won’t judge or tell you you’re wrong. I’ll probably just tell you you’re awesome. Rules are everywhere, so I choose to not really have any around here. Hope you’re cool with that?

xoxo

OOTD

I dont usually do “Outfit of the day” posts or outfit posts at all, but last weekend I stood on my tippy-toes & let my bins of Spring/Summer clothes out of the closet. I was thrilled to see them after a long Winter.  My spirits are always lifted when the weather allows me to step out in a sundress and sandals. I prefer being barefoot when my dresses touch the ground but the places I can wear those shoes are limited (boo).


Mum said I needed to limit my photos on here with Roman because it makes me look crazy (whoops). Just because Roman is in this photo doesn’t mean I didn’t listen to her –  I always listen to my momma, she knows best. But today I tried to take this shot with self-timer & Roman ran onto the window ledge right as I sat down. I grabbed him to tell him he wasn’t asked to be in the picture, but it obviously didn’t work. So here I am sitting in my office acting all crazy and shit.

I’m obsessed with natural light lately. I don’t know why, but I can’t get enough of it. Nothing makes me happier than when the sun hits my house just right & makes every room glow when I open the windows. It’s rare that I turn lights on during the day and I keep the windows wide open to keep it cool. When it rains my house feels/smells/sounds like heaven… I’m very thankful for my beautiful sanctuary.

I should be doing so many other things, but I had to fit in some posts today. Don’t hate me for the email or two today :/  I just meees you
