Summer color, outfits, hair

06.11.14

 

Just chatting about summer color, outfits, hair.  You know,  girl stuff.

HAIR~

Summertime!  And it always gets me to thinking about chopping my hair off.  Why is that?  Do y’all do that?  The stinkin’ heat makes me antsy and then it’s the YES or NO game.  I have a sweet family that likes to talks me out of it.  A few days ago I was contemplating going and getting it professionally done and I also remembered that last year about this time, I took the scissors one night and just began cutting away.  It wasn’t the first time and I’m sure it won’t be the last.  Thank GOD I have a very full mane, if I mess it up, you can’t really tell— or I hope you can’t. 😉Summer color, outfits, hair-cut

I convince myself of how easy it is to just wrap it up, braid it or ponytail it when it’s long, but it sure is time consuming if I have to blow dry for 30 minutes and then curl or straighten for an additional 20 minutes.  That’s a lot of time to spend on hair, especially if the day turns out to be rotten!!!

So, still contemplating.


OUTFIT~

What to wear in the summer with vibrant color but is still breezy and wards off those hot temps?

Here’s a fun little top!  Black and white patterned with bold lime shoulder contrast perfect for adding some CORAL?  Well I did!  I paired it with white linen shorts, silver wedges, rhinestone & pearl accessories, and vintage bangles. Perfect for the 90 degree weather we’re having.  Don’t be afraid of color—-ESPECIALLY in the summertime girls!  POP!!!Summer color, outfits, hairsummxxx

Aren’t these SINFUL COLORS fab???  Well, I’m happy to announce I finally have pretty feet —summer coral toes!  A much-much  needed pedi.

But they would certainly look even better if I were tanned (so, I’m working on that)!  This Latina’s gotta get some color- just sayin’.  When my son and I were down south two weekends ago, I told him I was embarrassed to be surrounded by the natives—cause I was so pale in comparison.  Harsh reality folks!

For now,  I’m colorful & set for a day of running errands and conquering the world.  Well, at least the GCC world~

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.
.
And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂

Thursday oh Thursday! . Doing something I haven’ Thursday oh Thursday!

Doing something I haven’t done in 5 years and channeling my inner “momma”!

Boo and I were shopping in DesMoines and we stopped in at a local tortilleria as I had ordered some masa. However they informed me they only sell in 10 pounds or more... so out the window went my “I’ll just get 5 pounds of masa for tamales” plan. Ten pounds of masa later, I immediately called my sister for backup help! Lol
.
So today is the day for tamales!  First time I’ll make ‘em since my mommas been gone.  So I’m hoping she’s watching and guiding me along. 
.
On a good note... the masa texture looks amazing so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!! Wish me luck!

Well, it’s a different word for a Butler’s pantry. We’ve been updating ours and I find that I’m not a Butler’s pantry kinda girl. I replaced the original door with this beauty of a door I snatched for $12! I repaired the broken panes and  took a piece of plywood to make a new center panel. I then added these details on it. 
.
Our home was built for the David Dancer family in 1883. I added the wash, fold, etc. as the space also houses our laundry room. One of these days I can show you the REST of the space but until now, you get a peek at the lovely old door leading into our scullery!
