Over the last couple years I have really been perfecting my insane mane (I just came up with that, just now!). I think it’s a little Farrah + Gisele + Simba = aaaall Kyle. Laura of HeyMissy asked me awhile ago just how I achieve my giant waves and now you all can finally (FINALLY) hear my secrets. Please be gentle as this is my first tutorial and video!
1) Obviously I start...
do you have...
any music artists that you hold close to your heart? Where you are protective of their songs? You don’t want to hear them used in tv episodes that are just “meh”?
I don’t mean this in the hipster kind of way. But, in the sense, that there is music that I feel requires a certain standard when being used. There can be so much emotion behind a song that a movie, commerical,...
How to make your shopping cart suck less ...
What’s SUPER MEGA fun is when you miss a required field somewhere and the contents of the payment fields are wiped so you have to re-enter them each time. It’s like a stairmaster for your numerical typing skills.

I am proud to say I am someone who has generally taken the road less traveled, but…
damnit if it doesn’t suck to feel so far behind sometimes.
Like when I find out one of my co-workers who is settled into her career is two years younger than me. Or when I see all of my happily-married friends pregnant. Or when my high school best friend becomes my facebook friend and she looks...
Tupac vs. Biggie
Random…but I heard Tupac on the way to work this morning and then again on my home. It got me thinking about the debate as to which one was a greater rapper.
I grew up in California. California will always be home to me. I remember being in love with Tupac. I still know all the words to Dear Momma, California Love is my favorite, and All Eyes on Me was the CD of choice. (It was probably a...
I really should not...
allow myself a glass (or two) of wine and shop online.
But, in my defense, with a new job I feel it is important to purchase new shoe wear to accompany my new position. (like my justification?)
First, I really need a pair of flats. I can handle about half a day in really cute heels, but then it is time to change into a pair of comfy and, if I’m lucky, fashionable shoes.
And while I am...
Books of 2010
Last year I made a News Years Resolution to read 50 books. Of course I completely forgot about it until almost August and tried to play catch-up. I had only read ten books and finished the year with 29.
Here my {girly} list of books of 2010.
The Help *
House Rules
My Horizontal Life
The Last Song
Love the One You’re With
Fifth Avenue
LA Candy
Sweet Little Lies
Little Bee

Last year my baby sister, T, and I decided this would be the year that we would get into Football. First we would need to pick a team. A team that would our team.
It all started with a spreadsheet. We listed all of the teams, logos, location, and current quarterbacks. One by one we narrowed the list down.
There are teams that we will always have a loyalty to. Raiders because our whole family are...
Let's not make Tumblr a place it doesn't need to...

Let’s just follow the people we love to follow, meet up with the people we adore (and who are even lovelier in person mind you), and move on.
YES!
I have a full post coming, but I was granted the lovely pleasure of meeting Pinkseersucker last night! She is so amazing, wonderful, and energetic! I feel lucky that little ole me got the opportunity to get to know her in real...

YES! Please visit! I know you want to! :)
Just for today...
My mom clipped an article from Dear Abby out that she wanted to show me and my sisters. It was perfect for the New Year. Changes do not happen overnight, they take hard work and dedication. However, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and therefore do nothing. I like the idea to living just for today.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about...
Happy New Year!
This year has started off with a bang…
I got hired at one of the major casinos here in Vegas. While it is not my dream position, it certainly a great opportunity that will look good on my resume.
My sister and I spent Sunday planning our resolutions, decorating our “wellness books”, and writing a letter to ourselves to open next year. It was so much fun and makes me feel ready...
