The Coolist Accessory on The Market - EVER!

Take a look around. Not a lot of people have one and if they do then they certainly are not using it. It should be coveted like a Chanel bag.

You are mistaken if you think D&G, Versace or Stella are what is going to make you shine! Shine! Shine!

Gucci handbags, Prada sunglasses, Louis flip flops are all very chic and "oh, so glam!" Of course Saint jewelry is waaaaaaaay up top when it comes to "look'n good!" ;)


A...SMILE

Seriously. Please smile! All the time. Till it hurts and you want to cry but you can't cry because you are obsessed with smiling!

OH! I can't tell you what a difference it makes when you smile. Even if you don't like your teeth - SMILE! Smile w/ your mouth closed....JUST SMILE!! Make it stick. Work on it.

I am so, so, so tired of walking around town looking at people who are dead. People who think that if they smile their "cool factor" will drop into the red. Or people that refuse to make eye contact and connect with another person in fear of having to stop what they are doing and actually engage. Hey, I am guilty of it myself. I also don't like it when I behave that way....not cool.

There is nothing more uplifting then having someone that you don't know just smile at you and say "hi!" You don't ever see them again - but they just gave you a very special gift. They got you to smile too. That is really the coolist. I love that.

One of the inspirations behind my jewerly is getting people to smile and creating connections. Should your little bee earrings make someone smile at you - that just makes my day!

Smiling is what it is all about.

Send Them Back to School with a Little Saint!

First Day of School Blues

The day that I have been dreaming about for the last few years has finally arrived. My little Lily started her first day of school today.

I must admit I was so excited for her to start school. Thinking it would take some of the load off me and hoping to have some quality one on one time w/ my son who is only 15 months younger than she.

After walking her to her classroom and leaving the parking lot I had this hollow feeling in my heart. All these emotions starting rising. "She's gone. This is really strange. I miss her. I am sad. Will she be okay?"

Jack and I spent the morning together trying to figure out our new roles as Lily's absence has us both a little weirded out. We made our way just fine - albeit a little more quietly and less chaotic! :)

We were both so excited to pick Lily up and eager to hear all about her first day. She was so excited to see Jack and I and that made us feel really great. It looked like she had a great day. It was all going so well. Then we walked into the house and she spouted out a few bossy words and I had to send her to her room. Then she had a nice little 'never ending' melt down. Aaahhhh... my reality check!

I can't wait for school tomorrow! ;)

Hoot! Hoot! Hoot! Hoot! Hoot!

It's back to school and a little good grade karma never hurt anyone.

Wear "Eyeballs" the hoot owl for superior wisdom and style.

Now bring home those awesome grades!

Hoot! Hoot!

Staying Young

Everyone always says that your children keep you young. I agree! Young and tired! Ha! Ha! There are other things that I think keep you young too and one of the biggest is girlfriends. I love all my girlfriends. I wouldn't say that I have very many, but the ones that I have always make me feel young.

I never really thought about that aspect of friendships until today.

Tomorrow a dear friend of mine is flying to Phoenix for our second annual "girls weekend." Wooooooh!! Hoooooh!

After I had my little Lily and she had her twin girls we agreed that a yearly "escape" is a mandatory part of the job description.

What do we do? We go bull riding, race car driving and bungee jumping. :) Kidding.

It probably sounds very boring but in between hours and hours of talking and disecting every aspect of one anothers lives we eat lots of salads, drink plenty of wine, power walk, get a massage, catch a few movies, go on a mini road trip somewhere...ANYWHERE, shop some, and just totally veg out. Basically it is an exercise in what your life was like when you were dating your husband (ha! ha!).

By the time the weekend is over we are reasonably detoxified and ready to hit it!

A good friend makes you feel good. When you feel good you feel young and when you feel young you are more energetic, positive and happy.

So I am thinking to myself that the reason I am feeling so yound and happy lately is because I have my children, my husband, my girlfriends and of course Zumba! Life is good!
