Time for a road trip!

My bags are packed and I am ready to go! Girls weekend here I come!

I hope you all have a wonderful and amazing weekend! I will be back on Monday with lots of pictures and a trip recap to share with all of you! xoxo

Happy Thursday!

Warning: today's post is just a bunch of randomness.

I love Thursdays! One day closer to the weekend and all the wonderful night time entertainment on tv. What is your favorite Thursday night show?

Yes...I changed my header again for the millionth time. I just like change which is probably why I am afraid to pay someone to do it for me. What do you think?

I am sooo thrilled to go on our girls weekend getaway starting tomorrow. The trip is much needed and I look forward to spending time with all the wonderful ladies. I am already packed and ready to go! I just hope the hubby can keep things clean while I am gone...eek.

Has anyone read Lauren Conrad's series of books? I read the first one and I must say that I was really impressed. It was loosely based on her life in the realty tv world but I was still hooked. I am about to start the second book (they all are tied together) and I am interested to see how it goes. And I just read that she has come out with the third. I better start reading faster! I love that she is the girl next door and hasn't let the fame get to her head. She has really done well for herself and will go a lot further than her former cast mates.

I keep forgetting to post a picture of the hair. Well here it is. I took it this morning at my desk. In person it is more of a shade of dark red.


And for a moment of cuteness. I was packing in the living room last night and walked into the bedroom to see this...

Brixie was already ready for bed. She had snuggled her way under the top sheet and was sleeping/snoring when I accidentally woke her up with my camera flash. She is so darn cute when she isn't getting into some sort of trouble.

Ok back to work! There are lots of deadlines to be made before the week is over. Happy Thursday everyone!!!

NOT a toy!

Ok today is no better than yesterday. But now I know why I was so cranky yesterday. Today I am stuck at work with a fever, sore throat and nothing is working correctly. But I must continue to post before I get back into my non-posting rut, lol!

This past weekend was a fun yet relaxing weekend. The weather in Houston is absolutely perfect! We spent the majority of our time outdoors taking it all in because we know that this kind of weather doesn't last long in Texas. Friday I got my hair done and I absolutely love it! It has a dark tent of red with some brown and caramel highlights in it. Perfect for fall. Later that night we spent time with some of our friends visiting from out of town. It's always so nice to catch up and spend time with the ones we miss.

Saturday we woke up bright and early to participate in the Race for the Cure Houston. It was an amazing experience. To see all of the survivors and the ones racing for their loved ones lost was an emotional time for me both happy and sad. I was so glad that we participated and plan to do so every year. I will say though that I was soooooo sore after the fact and getting out of bed was definitely a struggle the next morning. It means that I need to really start working out again as soon I get over this crazy fever and everything else that is coming along with it. Here is a picture of Chris and I before the race began. Excuse the bad pic, we were both tired and its also not a great shot of the hair. I promise you a better one later.

So glad we got to do it together! xoxo

The rest of the weekend was spent with some of our close friends. We enjoyed a nice Fillet Mignon dinner with baked potatoes, homemade Caesar salad and a yummy Tiramisu Bowl for dessert all made by yours truly. Then Sunday was spent eating fried foods, watching football and hanging with our friends around the corner. It was so nice to watch the game on the outdoor patio. I love this weather! All in all it was a fabulous weekend!

So I have to share what our dog Brixie got into yesterday. Notice the chew toy in the picture below. They are scattered throughout our house.

And notice that this is NOT a chew toy. But Brixie thought that it would be fun to play with anyway. She knew she was going to be in lots of trouble when we got home so she tried to hid the evidence. She is definitely a sneaky one. At first we were worried that she had eaten it all but then quickly discovered her hiding spots. The broken pieces were hiding between the sheets, the couch and other odd places. Good thing we have extra remotes in the house but she was definitely in trouble last night and hopefully won't touch another remote ever!

Ok I am going to go now before my head explodes. Hope everyone is having a great week so far! I can't wait to get over whatever I have and I really hope it happens before my trip this weekend! xoxo

Grrrr....

This is how I feel today:

Like a crazy mad woman! Yep I will admit it!

I will be back tomorrow in a more joyful mood.

Still need to post my hair pics which I love by the way! xoxo

Such a Go-Glitter

Hi, my name is Danielle and I have an obssesion with nail polish.

It is one of my things. I have quite a collection and the bag that stores them all weighs a ton! My husband thinks I have a problem, lol. I just can't help myself. My favorite brand by far is Nicole by OPI. I can't walk into Target or any beauty store without getting a new color. And I am not afraid to be bold and rock a color that is a little crazy and a bit daring. My boss gets a kick out of it!

My new favorite is a bit of a mixture. Show You Care is my number one color and I love to sport it throughout the year. But the other day I came across the Such A Go-Glitter and I just had to have it! As you know with most glitter nail polishes you have to mix it with a solid. Perfect! I went to my trusty Show You Care put two coats on and then finished it off with the Such A Go-Glitter. Such a fun name! Wouldn't it be awesome to have the job of creating all the names for their colors?!

So what do you think? I LOVE it and kinda reminds me of the midnight sky with stars (galaxy like). The hubby just laughed at me when I told him that and proceeded to ask me how many glasses of wine I had consumed, lol! I think I will be rocking this color for awhile.

Do any of you watch The Rachel Zoe Project? I was so sad to read in the gossip websites yesterday that Rachel Zoe & Brad Goreski are parting ways. I love her show and it won't be the same without B! But he is moving on to create a name for himself so I hope he gets his own show as well. I wonder what they would call it?

On the up side, in this mornings news they are claiming that Rachel Zoe is 3 months pregnant! I hope it's true. That baby is going to be so stylish!

I am so glad it is Friday and also my half-day. I can't wait to get my hair done and enjoy a fun night with the hubster! Hope your Friday is an amazing one as well! I will be sure to post about the hair results later! xoxo
