so many things. prepare yourselves.

#1

skin secrets!

actually not so secret as i grabbed it off of pinterest.

so if you follow me you already pinned it and perhaps you tried it.

but if not...that's ok.

because i have been doing it once a week for 2 weeks (ok, twice) and i think my skin's texture and tone have improved.

so as your guinnea pig for life..

i highly recommend this treatment..

take 3 tablespoons of baking soda and mix it with 1-ish tablespoons of water (you want paste).

spread it on your fiznace and massage for a minute.

splash your fiznace with water and massage more.

at this time you will feel like microdermabrasion-esque "beads" are sloughing away all the wine and chocolate you consumed last night.

i think you can safely do this 3 times a week.

depending on your skin.

mine is oily and sensitive.

 

 

#2

my butt.

 

i work out all the time.

but before you get all FUCK YOU! on me...

know that my workouts rarely include cardio and/or anything too strenuous.

i do tracy anderson 2x's a week and the rest of the time i do yoga (the yoga i do is basically like sleeping) and pilates.

and some days i watch real housewives instead.

 

so when a reader and i were discussing things she mentioned that she was a personal trainer and used to have a flat butt but now it's a bubble donkey.

many of you know my quest for a bubble donkey runs deep.

my butt is small.

so small you can barely see it.

i need to donkify it.

 

i don't want a phaedra donkey.

i want this donkey:

 

so she said she would send me her secret to a donkey so long as i posted about it.

so i said, deal!

 

this is apparently how i will acheive the donkey.

i am going to start this program in june and all of you lucky bastards will get to watch as my pancake becomes a bundt cake.

#3 best design blogging mom of all time!

that's me!

huge side eye to yes spaces for all those votes.

i guess there is no stopping the craft movement.

 

third place is still awesome.

so thank you for voting for me.

 

 

#4

lavender velvet desk chair:

for my office/bedroom.

 

 

#5

fiona's room.

it is pretty much done.

except her bench/stool still needs reupholstering, but the hot pink faux ostrich (so good)

is here and i will get her done once i return from new york.

i am waiting on her (cream linen with lavender ball fringe) curtains but her existing roman shades are good enough for now.

and i'm STILL on the hunt for a duvet that works with her headboard fabric.

there aren't many out there that i can afford.

i have sent 2 back bc they clashed horrendously.

 

so anyway it is almost there!! 

 

 i thought i would AT LEAST give you a crappy dark photo of her glossy olive green ginormous desk!

 

 

 

it's all so much better in good light and non-suckass photography.

 

when i return next week i aim to deliver the goods regarding this room.

 

 

and now...

#6

 

 your day (maybe even your life) is complete!

 

 

 

proudest

 

 

as a parent, nothing will make you as proud when..

1. your kid uses good manners in all situations (we have not achieved this as parents).

2.  you kid proves they are smarter than almost everyone, including you (this we got covered).

 

the other day fiona was accpeted into the TAG program at her school (Talented and Gifted i.e. "nerd").

this is a great thing to be a part of.

for one it goes with her everywhere, through all the days of her school life.

and it will also give her an edge over the other kid when it's time to go to college.

 

in addition to entrance into nerd kingdom 

 

her teacher sent us this email this morning:

 

 

 

 

"you can be the fairy who glitters all the strawberries"

 

 

 

 

things that need to quit it...

 

those windows, wall color, color palette, furnitu

not in love with the coffee tables but they work in the space.

i am in love with the purple painted bookcases.

that tile needs to quit it.

 

 

that rug needs to quit it.
