live in atlanta?
come see me playing cersei lannister in a game of thrones parody sketch show tonight at 9pm.
go here for more info.
should be really stupid in the best possible way.
5 steps to cleaning out your closet for fall. i desperately need professional help in my closet.
i called california closets but that shit is expensive. i'm not counting it out but i'd love to hear from you all if you've worked with them before and what your experience was. or if you have other closet buildout tips. the fact of the matter is i need less help in the clearing and organizing department and more help with spacial issues.
i am so ready to give this a go. anyone out there already on board?
my plastic surgeon (the one who gave me fillers) wants to charge nearly 4k for 3 sessions. i'm like...i could get perky new boobs for that price.
you can't tell me you don't want to faceplant this.
and maybe less of a faceplant situation....more of a this is what i need to do with zucchini situation.
i don't typically have people asking me for social media advice as i don't have the followers in the 10k and over range though occasionally i am asked. but moreover i am asked for design help, free paintings or deeply discounted paintings...etc. and this article addresses these awkward sitches.
i'd like to go here for labor day and stay for a week. isn't it adorable?
this one would do nicely too.
radiance boosting powder for the face? it isn't what you think and i am very intrigued.
i'm not really a big fan of yarn-y wall hangings. but this one is sorta cute and i know so many people love the wall yarn things.
and finally...
i want to make this for no other reason than it is beautiful and looks like an exercise in zen.
i may eat it. may not. definitely watch the video.
have a wonderful weekend.
thursday
fall prep
it's never too early for a little seasonal change inspiration shopping?
right?
sometimes it's just one new thing that can inspire an entire house cleaning. or at least the room the new thing is intended for...
kitchen looking sad? prop this beautiful teak cutting board against a wall you will be sure to see when you walk in. and then use it! watch it age beautifully. (go for the large!)
i have taken to using my good wine glasses because i have broken all my cheap wineglasses. enter the shatterproof wine glass. seriously these were made for my klutzy ass. (set of 4 only $28!)
it is still really hot here in georgia and we likely won't see fall temps until late october and yet as soon as that first cool breeze hits i will be outside with my too warm red wine.
and ice is just not ok in red wine you damn grandma. so let's all stop looking like assholes and put some wine cooling beads in our glass instead.
did you know throwing an ounce of this elderflower and rose presse into your gin and tonic will make it even more delicious?
i have always loved lanterns on a porch. i think they're so impactful and you can't kill them.
these are tall, sexy and somewhat reasonably priced. i think if you splurged on a pair you would never regret doing so.
a candle drawer?? i'm in. i am 100% obsessed with creating my own.
starting with a healthy supply of beeswax candles.
and yes, this candle sticky stuff works. i have some odd shaped vintage candlesticks and no actual candle i have found fits them. so i shave a little off the end and add some of this goop and stick they do.
can we all just agree that this biergarten table is cute?
i really don't even know if it's pumpkin planting season but the idea that all i have to do is put this bag in the ground and come october i will have monster pumpkins is really enticing.
one of these small lemon cypress topiaries is coming home with me. and if i was sure that my cats wouldn't eat or climb a large one i'd get one of those instead for the floor just to the left of my front door.
i think this rolling log basket is genius and adorable.
and just a really delightful, well sized, well priced fire pit for a small outdoor space.

hi friends.
sorry to be no posty all week.
this new school schedule (earlier wake up times and longer drive times) is taking some getting used to. as it is now i don't have time to post first thing in the morning.
which is why no posty. this new schedule is also cutting into my morning poop time and we all know how much that sucks.
but it will all smooth out in a few weeks.
i am very much looking forward to spending some quality time painting.
i am in awe of the image above and that serious ocd paint cup situation.
that's dedication people.
i have heard really really great things about this woman's skincare line. i aim to put it to the test in the near future. (remind me to tell you about the restylane i got under my eyes that they are still in the process of dissolving bc it never dispersed, rather pooled like bags under my under eye. rather than actually under my eye. fun times.)
have you moms heard of rockets of awesome?
you fill out a questionnaire about your kid's style and likes and whatnots and they send you 12 outfits. you pay for what you keep. i signed fiona up bc she is the world's fussiest clothes wearer. shopping with her is my least favorite thing in the world. once you are able to give feedback about the items they send (what works and what doesn't) then they can begin to really tune into what your kid wants etc...
from their site:
ABOUT US
We are a team of moms, dads, aunts, and uncles. We’re inspired by our amazing and picky kids, but (we’re not going to lie) shopping for them is a never-ending chore. We’re done with endless scrolling and dressing room drama. It’s 2016 — you can call a car or get groceries delivered to you with a click, so why isn’t shopping for kids the same? Don’t worry, we’ve figured it out, and we’re pretty sure it could change your life.
OUR SOLUTION
We are reimagining how parents shop for kids. And it’s basically the future. No, we don’t use hoverboards, but we do use algorithms which are just as cool. Based on what your kids like and don’t like, we design and hand-pick high quality clothes and send them to you free of charge four times a year. If there’s something you don’t like, it’s okay! Tell us. There’s no such thing as TMI. The more feedback you give us, the more personalized your experience becomes. We’re here to make your life easier. And we mean it. That’s our idea of awesome.
OUR CLOTHES
Our designers create on-trend pieces kids (sizes 2-14) can wear everyday. Of course, while style is important, we know daily adventures are a must, so we made sure each piece is soft, comfy, and made from lasting fabrics. Everything is easily mixed and matched and under $40.
so....SIGN UP!!
this sounds really delicious.
speaking of delicious....fiona's new fancy lunches this week have come back completely devoured. which if you know my kid is really saying something.
the menu this week was this, this, this and this.
really really really want to buy this.
and finally...perhaps my favorite thing all week.
the house, her voice, her face, the house, the music..the house.
have a great weekend you guys.
