Join Me in being Pretty Muddy!

If the image above looks like your idea of spending a day with the girls, then you are definitely going to want to check out the Pretty Muddy 5k. It was initially the brain child of two businessmen who were constantly in awe of their wives and everything they managed to juggle on a daily basis. They wanted them (& all women in general) to have a way to get together and focus on friendship, fun and fitness – without their significant others, their kids and the stress of the daily grind. And so Pretty Muddy was born!

What I like about this 5k is that it is all about fun. It doesn’t matter if you have to go around some obstacles you don’t feel comfortable with or aren’t a lifetime member of Crossfit. This is just an event to promote health, happiness and friendship among women. And what’s not to love about that?

If you want to join me in being Pretty Muddy in Miami, sign up for the race (I’ll be racing during the 12 noon wave)! It isn’t until December, so you have more than enough time to prepare, if that’s what you want to do. For me, it will be right after our trip to the UK & Amsterdam, so I’m sure I’ll need the added exercise (heh).

Happy Hump Day {Role Reversal}: Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore is such a girls girl, isn’t she? I remember she was the first actress I saw and wanted to be like. She was the perfect mix of glamorous and wild: so spontaneous and carefree. I personally think she was at her best in Mad Love (am I dating myself?) and I could watch Never Been Kissed all day every day. But what I love about her the most is her spirit – I wish I could bottle it or somehow channel it. She is also growing an empire: forget just Flower Films – she also has her own wine (Pinot Grigio no less) and just launched a beauty line, Flower Beauty, which I’ve only heard good things about.

Just ask my friend, Ashley. She runs the popular Drew fansite, The Drewseum. Check it out and the rest of this post!

What I Wore: Lily Dawson

So, as you all can tell, I kind of like this blouse. Just a little. If I could wear it every day, I would. And I knew I had to recreate this outfit using it as soon as humanly possible. Of course, it helped that I added an extra special touch in the form of this gorgeous necklace from Lily Dawson Designs. The rhinestone necklace has this amazing ombre detail that makes it seem like it is on fire. I guess it lives up to its name, the Handpainted Flame necklace. Just call me Katniss Everdeen.

Lovable Friday!

1. Glow stick pool; OK guys. How cool is this pool full of bright, shiny glow sticks??? I would have never thought to do this, and I definitely would have never thought it would look this cool! You better believe there will be some funky night swimming in my future!

2. Washi tape party decor; I am a big fan of good looking, but easy party decor so washi tape is high on my list of must-haves for this summer’s party season. Wrap some around a plastic cup and voila! Instant personality! You can beat it.

3. Denim heart DIY; Another fabulous DIY! Patterned jeans are still all the rage for Spring, but the perfect ones can be hard to find. That’s why sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands and make your own personally perfect pair! This is another seemingly simple undertaking, but I’ll make sure to report back with my opinion. 😉

4. Lightsaber toothbrushes; I think I’ve found the coolest kid gift ever. Who would think that it would be a toothbrush?!? They are shaped like lightsabers and flash every 60 seconds to promote longer brushing intervals. My husband was super upset that they only come for children. I think there’s a market out there, Star Wars. Just sayin’.

5. Striped wedges; These gorgeous creatures popped up on the streets of Milan fashion week, and unfortunately the link didn’t give me the information I needed. Mainly, where I can get my grubby hands on them. ::sigh:: Oh well, they are probably completely out of reach budget-wise. Right? Right. So that means I shouldn’t obsessively stalk them, right? Right.

ps; liking the new format??
