Me, Myself and I Link-up!

Hey ladies!!!

I'm back from my bachelorette party and had such a great time!! I'll tell you more about it later tho!!

My Beautiful, Crazy Life


1) What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? 
I would open up my own bakery! YES!! I absolutely love to bake. I'm always baking when we have get-togethers and am always being asked to bake things!




2) If you had only six months left to live, what
would you do with the time?

I would definitely travel...to tropical places! AND shop up a storm! Of course I would be doing all of this with my family!

3) If a front page news article was written on you, what would the headline be?

'Woman dies from shopping too much!'


4) What is your biggest pet peeve?
Other drivers.
I AM the best driver on the road. Why does everyone else need to re-take drivers ed? Please use your blinker. Look in your blind spot. Don't drive too slow on the highway. There IS a fast lane and a slow lane.

5) What is your favorite chick flick movie?

hmmm...this is a hard one...lol.
I liked The Vow.
We watch a lot of movies but chick flicks never seem to be my favorite!

Do you know what the best part about outfit posts are?!?!

Wearing what you want to wear!


I have mentioned before {here} that you need to 'own it'.

Just work it, girl! Work it...in what you feel comfortable in.
It could be shorts and a t-shirt like I wore this weekend...But I felt good in it!

It's called your style for a reason.

Not everyone has to like it.
Just you!

You may not even like what I wear!
And that's ok! Because it's my style!

I absolutely LOVE looking at everyone's outfit post...
Sometimes I'm not gonna wear the exact same thing because it's not me...but I get ideas or incorporate a little piece of what they wore and make it my own.


So wear what you feel good in and you'll feel like you can conquer the world!

Hope y'all have a great day!!!!!

If you knew me...


Shirt: co/ Sheinside (same shirt: only $29.12!)
jeans: rock revival // necklace and bracelet: F21 // shoes: aldo

My new favorite shop is Sheinside! When I received this shirt and the shirt I wore yesterday...I was in awe...I don't think I even do these shirts justice!

..........................................
I've seen this flying around so figured I would give it a go! Plus...I figured you would like to get to know me a little more!

If you knew me...
You would know that I have light green eyes...almost yellow at times! With a dark green circle around them. Sometimes they'll change to a dark green depending on what I'm wearing.

You would know that I am a lady of few words.

You would know that I literally hate talking on the phone.

You would know that I have the longest toes ever!

You would know that I can't sit still for one minute. I'm constantly moving...my mind goes 90 miles a minute.

You would know that I really DO have a thick accent. Eric says I try too hard NOT to have an accent in my VLOGs lol.

You would know I could shop for hours. But only if I'm able to buy something. I can't window shop.

You would know that once I get my mind on something it needs to be done right then...at that second.

You would know that I hate to clean...with a passion!

You would know that I treat my pets like others would treat their kids. I bring water to Chloe in bed (ok that's just spoiled rotten)!

You would know that I have some serious baby fever...for the past few years! heehee

I hope y'all have a great day!!!

Oh How Pinteresting! Plus a get to know me!

Oh Wednesday...you are here...so we are halfway thru the week!

So who are A & E?


Let's put it this way...When we have kids...They will be extremely clumsy and be a bull in a china cabinet! Yes...I am super duper clumsy and no matter what E does...he always seems to be dropping or breaking things!

If I'm at home watching TV...it's on the ID Channel (Investigation Discovery)! If E is watching TV...it's sports all the way!

We are creatures of habit! We get Genghis grill every Friday to go. They know me by name! And they know my voice on the phone when I call in the order!

We are homebodies!

We drink hot chocolate every night in the winter months! It's more like we have marshmallows with a side of hot chocolate!

We both love Chloe (aka Clo Clo) the Cockapoo!
But I get a little jealous...I think Clo loves E more than me lol!

We drink Starbucks every morning! We drink American Mistos because they are least in fat and sugar! Eric's Starbucks calls his drink the High Maintence drink haha!

Now on to Oh How Pinteresting!
I always look forward to Wednesdays so I can link up with Michelle!!
google

So ladies...E is getting a pair of cowboy boots and I have been debating whether I should or not!  To be honest...I wonder how often I would wear them?!?! I found a couple of pairs I like.

 My favorite one is on the left but I do like the right one as well.



Below are some boots I found on Pinterest!

Do y'all own any cowgirl boots? And how often do you wear them?
