So this past weekend I went to Dallas for a hair and makeup trial. From the very beginning I knew that it was important for me was to find someone that could come to us on the day of the wedding. I know that I will be stressed out and the thought of running from hair to makeup and timing everything appropriately for my 6…

Once we made the decision to assign tables, it meant that we needed to figure out what we were doing for table numbers. I say that like it was a chore, but I was SO excited. I’d seen so many cute ideas for table numbers and part of me was sad that I had no reason to come up with my very own idea. But…

Now we’ve tackled the environment, aging, tightening of pores, acne, and puffy eyes.

In the last post of this series we are going to tackle dark circles. That’s right, I saved the best for last. Now, on a normal day I don’t have really bad dark circles, so it was hard for me to test this out. I kept waiting for the right time to do…

Now sing that title along to the tune of the Apprentice, because that’s what I did when I wrote it. OK, it's time to get to the point of this post---combining finances. Mr. Fro Yo and I talked about this several times, but it always seemed so far off that we didn’t think we really needed to make a decision.

It was a mad crafting weekend at the Fro Yo house. I gathered dowels, ribbons, scissors and glue guns and I was off and running. Mr. Fro Yo even got in on the fun and helped me cut some ribbon, though he refused to attach them to the dowels.

I’m a little worried that my ribbon wands look like a kindergartner’s craft project, but to be…

This wedding budget thing is hard. And what I mean by that is that I am constantly bombarded by things I think I need to make our wedding perfect. Although logically I know this isn’t true, it’s still hard not to long for all these things. See, Mr. Fro Yo and I are paying for the wedding ourselves, which means that there is some “fluff” stuff that we don’t get to have because it just didn’t make the cut.

OMG, Jillian Michaels, or JM as I like to call her, you are kicking my butt!

So I went through quite a few different exercise programs- P90X, Yoga, Pilates and now the 30 Day Shred. While each is good for different reasons, my favorite is the Shred. I feel like I’m working really hard, but I don’t have to commit too much time. Also, in addition…

Ugh. I have gone back and forth over this for so long and cannot make a decision. So, I need your advice. See, I have this vision in my head of a beautiful cake on top of a pedestal cake stand. Only, I picked a cake that looks like this:

See that title up there? It was an exact quote from a girl who was supposed to help one of my bridesmaids find a dress. But I’m getting ahead of myself, let me start from the beginning. See, at the beginning of my planning I went through quite a few colors and ideas for what I wanted the bridesmaids to wear. Then suddenly it hit me. Grey!

This is a hard post for me to write, and I hope that no one close to me finds it offensive. I’ve thought about it for a long time before I started to blog about it, but I think it’s time. See, someone very close to me, let’s call her Ms. X, is going through a divorce right now. Divorce is never easy, and I imagine that it’s especially difficult when you have to be all sunshine and rainbows for someone else who is about to get married.

Guess whose fingers are fully outfitted for the big day? That’s right, Mr. Fro Yo and I both have our wedding rings! You may remember that I bought mine on Black Friday for a really great deal. Well, it came in and I was in love. Unfortunately, I love it so much that I’m having a hard time leaving it in its pretty box in…

So remember when I was whining about my boobs and how I felt self-conscious all the time? Yeah, well I can’t say that’s totally changed, but there has been a major improvement. I finally decided that at the young age of 28 I should get professionally fitted for a bra for the first time in my life. Before I went I was terrified to go,…

We recently had a meet up in Austin with Mrs. Beagle, Mrs. Mouse, Amanda Lynn, TexicanMexican and me in attendance. Unfortunately, we didn’t realize that Chuy’s loves to celebrate Elvis’ b-day quite as much as they do, nor did we realize that January 8th was Elvis’ b-day and also the date of our meet up. BUT, we had the best time! We met up at…

I’m not going to pretend that I know the secrets of a happy marriage, especially considering I’m not even married yet. But, Real Simple featured 6 couples who have been married for at least 50 years. Each of them shared secrets about what they do to make their marriage work. Some of them made me laugh and some of them made my heart smile.

The first…

Now we’ve tackled the environment, aging, tightening of pores, and acne. What’s next? Puffy eyes.

There is no part of your face that gives away more about you than your eyes. They express emotion, you can smile with them like Tyra, they can display the puffy remains of too much boozing, or the all-nighter you pulled for work or school. There are two tricks you probably…
