Monday Musings

Okay, I am NOT going to drop off the face of the earth this week when it comes to blogging. <-- See there? It's in writing. I'm gonna stick to it. :) Soooo why not start off the week with a fun, albeit random, post!

First things first, I'm wanting to re-do my blog. I'm hoping to make the magic happen soon. :) Do you ever get in a funk with your layout? I mean, I want to change my banner, links, etc. I just want it to be spruced up! This is my way of saying if you come over here and something WACKED OUT is happening to my blog, just know I am cursing at the computer b/c I did something horribly wrong. (I'll likely get help on this project, but sometimes I get in moods where I think I'm a creative designer. And quickly realize I'm not). 

Okay, so... your one way ticket to randomtown starts... now. 

I love this coat. LOVE. Saw it on Anthro yesterday and sigh heavily when I see it. I want to check it out in person, though. That neck could be awesomesauce....or awkwardsauce. Just saying. 

 Did ya'll watch the PLL Halloween ep last week? They're not coming back til January (so if you don't watch, you have time to catch up!), but had some random Halloween ep. *shrugs* Anyway, I was once again reminded how much I dig Aria's eye makeup. Yeah, she's a teenager in the show. And I'm 30. Whatever. Anyway, if you dig it too, here's a fun tutorial from one of my fav beauty bloggers, Tiffany. :)

 I know that we're officially a week from Halloween, buuuuuuut I'm kinda already thinking about what kind of holiday wreath I want to make. I like the ornament wreaths a lot (especially the below one), but TBD. I'm sure pinterest will inspire me.

I've gotten a couple emails asking me if I still like the Hourglass Tinted Moisturizer I blogged about awhile ago when I first got it. The answer is YES! I'm currently scraping the bottle to get the last little bit out b/c I need to buy more. This stuff is awesome and long-wearing. It's lightweight, but covers. It's not super thin like some tinted moisturizers. And I don't need a powder over it. I can just apply blush and everything else then and there! I use a makeup brush to apply it b/c it goes longer that way. :) It's a bit spendy, but I think it's worth it. I DO think they need a few more shades, though.

 I always complain about Tulsa not getting cool fitness stuff when it first hits the scene. (I convince myself I'd totally be in better shape if we got cooler stuff.. haha.. Whatever). I think we're ranked as one of the most overweight cities.. or at least we used to be. Something tells me that makes trendy fitness less of a hit here. And we're super conservative as a general rule. Sooo when cardio pole dancing hit the market, you can imagine that its premiere debut wasn't in Tulsa. Anyway, I was kinda ho hum about pure barre b/c I REALLY wanted to do it, but assumed we didn't offer it. NOT THE CASE! I stumbled on a class at a local pilates studio and I have a call in to find out more. TBD! Tulsa friends, when I find out more, I can let you know if you're interested, too! :) Another one I want to try= Piloxing! I know we don't have that. But I can even see myself saying it: "Me? Oh, yeah.. I pilox." ha!

So that's where my head's at on this Monday eve. :) A couple friends are headed over for some Chuck, Serena, and Blair (and vino). PS.. Do you watch GG? What are YOUR thoughts about this whole Blair baby thing?!
