Life in a Magazine Is like… Life on Another planet!
24 AprDarn magazines and their perfect lives…
You know the ones I’m talking about, the evil ones that lure you in with their beautiful models, picture perfect products and meticulously sculpted scenery all telling you that you will lead an inferior unhappy life if you don’t fill your home and your person with these fine products.
Back in the day, I used to fall for the hype… but now, not so much. I still love beautiful things, but here is an example why I can’t lead a “magazine life”.
Soft Surroundings magazine-they start reeling you in with just the name, who doesn’t wanna be surrounded with soft stuff, brilliant marketing;)
Exhibit 1- The incredible plush looking perfect magazine bed
This incredibly beautiful lush lisette bedding costs about a $1000 bucks and would last about a day at my house. Once it’s been slept on forget about it, the pillows… smushed, the bedspread… wrinkled. My daughter would have christened it with goldfish and other greasy snacks and it would have been given the once over by my dog, leaving a faint doggie smell.
Exhibit #2 Good Morning!
I don’t know about you, but I don’t look like this when I wake up in the morning and eat my breakfast. My hair is crazy, I have mismatched pj’s with only one sock and I’m stumbling around with one eye open searching for coffee and grumbling about getting up.
Exhibit #3 The ‘ole Beach scene
They always look so beautiful on the beach, don’t they. Well, I rarely look like this chick. The wind is usually blowing a hundred miles and hour, I am covered in sand, sunburned and my hair is usually in some sort of wet ball on top of my head.
Exhibit #4 The Outdoor Space
I don’t know who this Robin person is, but they are pretty lucky to be drinking wine and taking a casual nap on this luxurious patio daybed. This set up is exclusively for magazine folk only.
Oh Boy, let’s get dressed up in our finest $84 dollar linen shirt to go do some yard work.
Exhibit #5 The Un-Lived in Living room
This is the one they always reel me in on. The un-lived in living room. The showroom quality, no dust bunny, non-trashed, color coordinated, designer, no life, standing room only living room. Looks good on paper, ya’ll, but forget about it!
Hey…..wait a minute..I do like these terrace pants. Something I can have but sadly I probably won’t cause these britches are $80 bucks. When they go on sale perhaps.
So there you have it…magazine life, a pretty perfect paper life that is pretty much unattainable. Do we really want it anyways, seems like a lot of trouble to me..LOL. How bout you?

Get Tipsy, Eat Pie, Self Tan and Go Shoppin’..Now That’s Livin’!
26 MarGet Tipsy:
Cathead Vodka, Tonic, Splash Plum Juice, Splash Lime juice
We went to this great restaurant, Frog Hollow Tavern and this was one of the drink specials. For some reason, I can’t recall the name, so I’m just gonna call it “Cathead”, but it was beautiful, not too sweet and super refreshing and it’s my new favorite drink.
To make this drinky take some Cathead Vodka, tonic, splash of plum juice, splash of lime juice, and plum garnish! Perfect Summer Drink:)
Eat Pie:
Lordy Mercy, we went to the horse races this weekend and I was introduced to derby pie. I can’t stop thinking about this chocolately, pecanny, goodness! It’s pretty much my dream dessert, chocolate and pecan pie mixed all together. I was gonna take a picture of the actual pie I ate at the races, but it was gone before I got a chance. It was THAT good.
Yep, gotta make one of these.
Here I am at the race, I love this fishtail dress that I got at Ross.
Fake Bake Yourself:
I’ve fake baked myself up too. My friend suggested this self tanner and its a super pretty tan.
Go Shopping:
I also did a little shopping at the races. Check out this great Valerie Kiser foxy tee I got. This thing is so soft and I just love it. You can get one here.
CAUTION: This is extremely cute and you may have fun while wearing.
Now you too can get tipsy, eat pie, give yourself a fake tan and go shopping.

What I’ve been doing today instead of what I was supposed to be doing!
29 FebShoulda, coulda, woulda, been doing a lot of stuff today, but instead of doing those things (cleaning my house, garage, car, exercising, thinking of my next great business idea) I was doing these things instead:
#1 Chalking My Hair:
Pastel Chalk from Wally World (Walmart)
What my locks looked like after I chalked them:)
Messy, Cool and Fun, Easily washes out…there you have it!
You wanna try it?

2# Obtained A New Beauty Product:
This is the new BB Cream from Garnier. I just found out that these blemish balm creams are all the rage. They are supposed to give your skin that flawless Asian girl look. BB creams claim to provide a light foundation without clogging pores, a moisturizer, a concealer, Anti-aging ingredients, and SPF all in one little ‘ole container.
I slapped some on today and seems to work pretty good so far, comes in two shades, light and medium. I got the medium. Goes on pretty well and I like the look of it on my skin. In my opinion, it’s not much of a concealer though. It doesn’t feel greasy. I think it’s a great light feeling makeup for runnin’ around town. I think I may try some different brands in the future to see how they compare to this one. These are some other ones I wanna try eventually, Skin79, Missha M, and Dr. Jart.
#3 Thrifting-
Goodwill Fabulous Asymmetrical Sequin Top
This top speaks for itself. It pink, shiny and asymmetrical. How can you go wrong for three bucks and some change? I’m telling you ladies if you haven’t thrifted before, your missing out.
#4 Playing the Uke:
Love this thing, got it for my birthday and I am addicted to it. I take it in the car with me. My daughter got one for her birthday too. We have started a fabulous band called… “The Two Ukes” (very original) don’t steal that:)
So, anyhoo,I did go to the grocery store to get something for dinner, so I was not completely slack.
Cleaning, working out, thinking, etc…in the wise words of Scarlett O’Hara ”I will think about that tomorrow”!

Mini Biscuit Chick Pot Pies, jicama and berries in balsamic

Also I must mention to you that if you have never eaten Jicama before, you are missin’ out. This low calorie sweet crispy root is the BOMB. This turnipy lookin’ thing is actually a legume. To me, it looks like raw potato but taste like a raw sweet green bean. You have GOT to try them!
