Tamales & Fury Vests

{Tamale Festival}

This weekend there was a tamale cook off near our town. Dragged lots of family out to sample the different offerings...it was super crowded BUT the food made up for it. It was a nice adventure for the weekend...

And Yes I have made tamales before, in fact every year I help spread or mix the masa for them. Family gets together and makes a HUGE batch for Christmas. This year I think we made 30 dozen. We are not talking about the folded variety here either, we are talking about the ones that are tied off on the ends and resemble small torpedoes.

{Fury Vest}

Finally found a Fury Vest which is labeled a fashion trend this winter 2010. Have to admit I have no fur in my wardrobe and I do LOVE it. Just harder to pull off where I live when its usually in the triple digits.

I looked at F21 when I made my recent trip and had no luck. The only one they had was white and I thought I would look like The Abominable Snowman !?

Uploaded a new video to show an outfit idea. Trying to take something from the runway and wear it real-way without getting funny looks...

Hair, Run Ins and Zippers

Well this weekend flew by way too fast.

Work has been hectic for me def looking toward some time off even if its just an extra day or two...

Made a trip to my hairstylist last night. My roots where looking a little BAD...Decided to ask for a lighter blond. Which I got BUT the stylist weaved in Grey/Violet highlights here and there and well, it really looked Grey to me - others confirmed it was noticeable. Washed it when I got home, the Grey came out a bit, washed again this morning, seems to be fading out. I was to the point where I would go to Sally's buy the big tub of bleach and just go totally blond to get rid of it. There is nothing worse then your hair not coming out the way you want / like....I swear it is the worst feeling.......

On top of THAT.....

Today I ran into the local grocery store. It was one of those Sundays where I was up at six with an errands to run. Needless to say I left the house with no makeup and an outfit that was non inspirational. And IT happened

the dreaded "Run Into Someone You Know"

I was like is that who I think it is??? Nah, and of course they come walking around the corner....I felt like a dear caught in the headlights, promptly turned around and left the store as fast as I could. Did not mean to be rude to this person but my embarrassment affected my better judgment =[


{Changing Subjects}

Time to post an new vid.

Inspired by a trip to Target where I found the Embellishment of something Inspiring

Hope to inspire others to be resourceful and creative.

Forever 21 Haul & More

Well my Christmas shopping came early this year.

Check my find's here:




Started at one of my fav store where they where having some serious Starbucks cutbacks?!



{Mini Toffee Frap}

The Starbucks was handy out free samples in the morning was rather nice, needed the little sugar rush before starting a long day of shopping. I do like Christmas shopping but only early, cannot stand the crowds and traffic that gets worse as Christmas gets closer...

I have noticed that the drivers in my town have gotten progressively insane, pulling out too soon when they should have just waited, or passing a car and speeding past only to stop at the same light everyone else did....lets face it no one needs a wreck and especially Not this time of year.

Here's hoping that We all have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!

What to Wear when the Invite Says ...?

Ever wonder what to wear for that special event coming up?
I did not I thought I had it all under control ... .. .
My epic fail lead to another video project.
I am hoping that this will help others not make the mistake I did.

Remains of The Day

{ Leftovers }
I ate myself into a food coma yesterday. Was nice to catch up with family and relax.
This morning I was faced with the perplexing decision of which pie was for breakfast?
I choose a small slice of both to go with my my morning coffee, spiked with Vanilla and Cinnamon creamer.
Tell me dear friends which pie is your choice?

Sushi Anyone?

{Weekend Snack Attack}
So recently I have been spending way too much time in the local restaurants that serve sushi, sashimi and delicious rolls.
This is totally new to me having never really tried it out before. Which is odd because I have an obsession with anything Japanese or oriental.
I have finally completed a meal using only chop sticks. I am surprised at how it makes you slow down and really savor what you are eating.
If you have any suggestions as to what I should check out comment below.
