TGIF: It's the Weekend, Baby!

Can I just say... TGIF??? Phew, this week went from happily boring/slow to ridiculously stressful and crazy. My work computer got a massive (I mean MASSIVE) virus that attached itself to my work profile, meaning it followed me everywhere. No bueno. I got to work yesterday morning only to find our IT person in my office, shaking her head. I immediately grabbed a bunch of files and headed back home to work in my PJs and bed. This morning I had a dentist appointment that ran way late, which made me seriously panic and check my blackberry every 5 seconds (had 2 urgent projects waiting for me). Must remember to just calm down and breathe in moments like those. Anyway, good news for me - no cavities! YAY!!!

I've knocked out those urgent projects (for now) and am taking a moment to breathe before attacking another one. (Can I get a YAY for having billable work??) I am UBER excited about my weekend b/c it's going to be... so very very good.

My Weekend Plans

Friday - Seeing Dear John at the Alamo with a bunch of friends, old and new, all FANTASTIC and FABULOUS!

Saturday - Massive artist date! I plan to sleep in and then spend my afternoon in PJs, working on a petite project that I'll tell you more about later. Here's a sneak peek...



Later that day, I am visiting my favorite masseuse to indulge in several hours of pure bliss. Voila my spa package:

- 90-minute Deep Tissue Massage
- Cocoa Cocoon Hydrating Body Wrap
- Full Body Dry Brush Exfoliation
- Warm Foot & Calf Sugar Scrub
- Magic Mint Scalp Massage
- Cool Cucumbers on the Eyes
- Take Home Gift Bag
- Served with Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream & New Tree Chocolates

Sunday - Real life stuff! Cleaning house, doing laundry, preparing food for the week, etc.

What're you dolls up to this weekend?

Passion for Pink

I've rocked pink hair before. Crazy fuschia stripes all over my ginormous head, and I loved them. And even though I push the boundaries of "business casual" quite a bit at work, I'm thinking the firm would not appreciate any amount of pink in my hair. Nonetheless I can dream, right? And I am loving the pink tipped hair below from the March Vogue Australia. (Her fantastic bangs and doll-esque face don't hurt either.)

Speaking of pink, have you seen my client spotlight at Pink Heels? Jennifer and I had our very last session as coach and client a couple Sunday's ago. Normally I'd be sad, but in Jennifer, I've made a lifelong friend, so I know our time together is not ending ANYTIME soon. :)

Petite Parisien Chic

So. Freaking. Cute.

Full Wolf Moon Dreamboard

Saturday was the Full Wolf Moon (yes, I thought of Jacob), and although my dreamboard is a bit late, I had oodles of fun creating it tonight. It's February now, which is SO hard to believe, and I love February for so many reasons. It's a short month (yay for less time between paychecks - HA), and it's a month full of pinks and reds and hearts and sugary sweets! I've always loved Valentine's Day, and the fact that I'm single doesn't change that fact at all. (In fact, I think I like it more when single because I don't have to worry about anyone else moi.) I love V-day because, well, it's all about love. And I'm having such a grand time loving me, myself, and I lately that I couldn't help but let my love for me and life and Valentine's Day shine through this dreamboard.

Jamie says this is the time when wolves howl for their yearnings, their desires. What do I desire? All of the above! Look closely (click on pic to enlarge) and you'll find images of desire, sensuality, sweet thangs, fun flair, and unapologetic sparkly fabulous goodness... does it get any better than that?

Bon Weekend!

Inspired by: Pam Garrison

I subscribe to PaPaYa's blog and today's post features an incredibly creative woman - Pam Garrison. Pam makes the most BEAUTIFUL journals! She is an artist in every sense of the word, but what I like most about her work, is that it seems somewhat doable. Not that I could create anything remotely as lovely as her work, BUT, I can put my own spin on it. The point is that she uses everyday items to create something gorgeously unique and personal on paper, and I love that.

Vlog: Project Paper!

...and a tiny peek into my apartment. :)



P.S. I actually have a lot more "paper" products than this, they're just scattered about the apartment. Ridiculous!
