National Ice Cream Month

I know, today is supposed to be hump day.
There should be a hottie gracing this post. However, I have something else completely delicious and crave worthy for all of you today: ICE CREAM! Did you know July is National Ice Cream Month? I didn’t, and I’m actually honored that I get to share my birthday month with the amazing merriment that is ice cream. If you know me, I don’t do sweets. Unless we are talking about ice cream. If we are, I can eat an entire pint all by myself. I can also do some serious damage at Dairy Queen if left unattended with a Blizzard. Granted, now being gluten and dairy free, this makes it a little more difficult for me to indulge in my favorite sweet so I leave it for special occasions only (read: bouts of nasty PMS).

That’s why I smiled when I saw this fun graphic via the Ultimate Coupons blog:

What does your favorite flavor say about you? Mine is Cookies and Cream, which means I’m a sweetheart (can’t deny that), but the sharing bit? Not so much. Get your own, friends!

Surprise Birthday Highlights

Last weekend my closest friends threw me a surprise pool party, and you can consider this the highlight reel. Although at first I was slightly annoyed, I now have to smile that my hubs barely took any pictures. That just means that we had such a great time, we weren’t even thinking of picking up a camera. I can honestly say that I really enjoyed every second of that day. To everyone involved, thank you so much for making me feel so special and loved.

What I Wore: Summer Fun Day

We started off Saturday with big plans: we were going to attend a local craft fair up north in Ft. Lauderdale and then spend some quality time with friends that we don’t get to see too often. Along the way, the craft fair idea got ditched and we ended up spending the entire day with our friends at Hillsboro Beach. It was really nice to just relax, hang out and talk with good friends. It kind of felt like we were on a mini day vaca. I wanted to wear my summer best, so I whipped up a colorful and fun outfit. I’m absolutely in love with this oversized tee from Lazy Oaf and wish I could wear it every day. There are so many ways to remix (check me out with my hip fashion blogger lingo), which makes it so versatile. I also had planned to pair it with a jean skirt, but decided to be a little ballsy and slapped on my tiniest pair of shorts. Surprisingly, I didn’t hate what I saw, so I may be using these shorts (my only pair – shocking, I know) more often this summer!

Lovable Friday!

1. DIY Succulent Tray

I absolutely adore succulents. I think they are so elegant and can give a modern feel to any decor. That’s why when I saw this absolutely adorable DIY on Oh, Hello Friend, my heart melted. It’s so easy and perfect for summer. I also loved her idea to gift them to friends. How sweet would that be?

An Ode to Comic Con

I’ve had such good memories at Comic Con the past two years.
I think that’s why it makes me so sad that I will not be in attendance this year.
I can’t mourn my loss for too long though. The only reason I am not
going is because we are going to Europe in November, so complaining just
feels a little silly. However, that doesn’t mean that I can’t reminiscence about all the
good times I did have. Here are some of my most favorite moments from SDCC
2009 and 2010. Looking forward to 2012!
