1. Pure Ice: Feisty with W&W Megalast (are you even surprised anymore?) Silverati This is one from the Dollar General exclusive line.


2. The students are back on campus.  Waiting to turn out of anywhere now is kind of a nightmare.  I also attempted to attend the Zumba class on Wednesday.  After first going to the wrong building, I ended up at the right building at the wrong time.  Talk about looking like a freshmen.  ha.

3. You all know my husband is married to the game (i.e. his work).  It’s just kind of an understood thing that during the season I handle everything here at home basically on my own.  It all balances out in the off season, I promise.  But yesterday I got some upsetting news from the doctor (nothing major yet, but just not what I was hoping to hear).  I called to update him–and he came right home.  And that’s where he stayed all day long.  Priorities.

4. A quick and cute remedy to greasy dirty hair when you’re feeling super lazy.  Here’s the tutorial.  It’s basically just a french braid (all the way braided).  Then wrap the tail of the braid into a bun.  Bada bing.  Bada boom.

5. The Fame Game by Lauren Conrad.  Don’t judge me.  I’ve had a lot heavy things floating around in my head lately so reading anything of substance just really didn’t seem appealing.  The Hills were a severe guilty pleasure for me.  And I adore Lauren Conrad.  When I first heard of her “becoming an author” [she originally wrote a series loosely based on her reality TV experience called L.A. Candy] I scoffed.  But it actually isn’t terrible.  So when I saw her second series The Fame Game available at my e-library, I snagged it.  These books will not rock your world.  But they do provide fluff and entertainment.  This book was a quick and easy read, and I was interested in what would happen next.  Works for me.  Three Stars.  I’m currently reading the second in the series and the third was recently released.

I have this mantra that if taken out of context could probably spark some controversy. It’s It’s only wrong because you’re making it wrong. Again, out of context, bad. Very bad. But here’s the context: I like things just so. My life up until I was an adult felt so...

  1. I read all of LC's books, and I loved them. When I read to relax, I like to read books like that – or like teen novels – books I don't need to think about to read. 🙂 That's why I love the Pretty Little Liars and Private books. Oh, and please feel free to text me anytime you need me. I miss talking to you. 🙂

  2. Love the nails! I tried to copy yours from last time and they didn't turn out as cute as yours!

  3. Ugh, what did the doctor say?

    On a lighter note, your nails look great and you should *try* Zumba again 🙂

  4. Oh Zumba: flailing limbs and over-gyrating hips, how I love it so! Haha!! I hope you give it another go because it really is fun (as long as you don't fear public dancing embarrassment, that is). Love your mani and, as usual, can't believe the awesome polish you manage to find. The LC book looks like it'd be an easy read and sometimes, that's exactly what I want so I'm putting it on my list! 🙂

  5. You didn't tell me there's a special Dollar General line. There's a standalone one down the street from my house that I only go to when I desperately need something offbeat but now I should make a trip. I never learned how to french braid but I wish I could because that would be great to get my long hair out of my face!

  6. Love Zumba! That hairstyle is so cute, I wonder if I can make it work. I am hairstyle-impaired ; ) And I've totally been getting into LC's blog, so no judgement. I hope it's good!

  9. Never feel guilty about reading something you enjoy. Reading something light is still a million times better than not reading at all.

  10. I don't believe I've read all the L.A. Candy books, but I've really enjoyed the one I've have. Definitely a fun way to give inside details of what it was like to film The Hills, at least partially.

  12. LOVE the nails and no judging on the book – I've heard she's a great author and I want to read her books! I never watched The Hills, but LC is super fashionable and I love her style.
