I couldn't find my contacts this morning so I wore my glasses. I ordered them on coastal.com, and they're by Derek Cardigan. I wore a bold lipstick today to go with my look. Winter is still here!!
Just wanting to give a shout out to my friend @danasteinfurs for sending me this cute hat. Here is a little photo shoot I did this weekend to show how cute it looks. I'm working on a few makeup tutorials in future posts so stay tuned!
So we received a ton of snow and I took
a vacation day from work since everyone else was able to make it into
the office. It was totally worth it because I got to Skype with two of
my dear friends. My friend Anneka Russel and Cassandra (Sanders) Nuss
are both from different times in my life but equally as important. I
have known Sanders since birth, through ALL of our schooling, and into
our life now. Anneka I met on my plane ride back from London and we
instantly connected and I almost cried leaving her at the airport. She
is one of those people you call a “kindred Friend” and we made a vow to
start talking Skype at least 2x’s a month from now on.
My
husband was able to get the snow day off at work too because their
electricity was going in and out; he couldn’t get his car shoveled out
either. I ventured outside after a bit to enjoy the weather with
Bronson, my Boston Terrier, and grabbed my camera. I am excited to be
able to get into work tomorrow but I really enjoyed the winter
wonderland of Kansas City. I love being trapped inside with Snow Day
Beer, ingredients for White Russian Cocktails, and lots of home cooking.
Enjoy your weather wherever that may be and stay safe!
When
someone is snowed in for the majority of the day after drinking too much
hot chocolate, alcohol, and watching too much tv one has to get out and
do something. We live in a wonderful neighborhood in Kansas City near a
park for our dog and we have amazing neighbors too. Our neighbor next
door was feeling the same ‘I have to get out of this house or I’ll go
crazy’ so he invited us to bbq. We had the few zombies that ventured
outside and wondered why the heck we were grilling at 9:00 pm at night.
(Secretly, I think they were jealous) our neighbor bought wonderful lamb
from nature’s Own and we made lamb burgers. Seriously one of the best
burgers i have ever had and i am going to do late night bbq’ing again
soon. We are supposed to get hit with another snow storm on Monday and
I'm secretly hoping to get snowed in again to have another winter bbq.
next time I'm stocking up to make some sort of hot toddy or Mexican hot
chocolate.
I
love winter time too because the Midwestern hospitality and sweet human
spirit comes out to help their neighbors. We helped a neighbor shovel
her way out of the snow to get her car to safety; i think for the guys
it provided a cheap way to get buff during the day. It helped too that
our neighbor was cute so boys will do anything a girl asks when she
looks adorable too. Stay warm out there and I hope you are having fun
too.
