My Little Steamer

dear mr. steamer,
you are so darn cute and useful. i really want you. do you think you can become UN sold out any time soon? preferably before christmas? i’ll be waiting thanks!

why hello-woof!

Hi all! I’m Sasha’s new little brother, Wolfie Amadeus Mozart.

Five things about me:
1. I am a Shitzu. It’s rumored that my breed is dumb and stubborn, but I am very bright! I learned how to pee on the peepee pad after one day of practice!
2. Sometimes, mommy forgets I’m in the room because I’m so quiet and calm. I make sure that she never forgets about me by leaving little surprise poopies all over her room!
3. I look like a rug… I’ve even been stepped on a few times- ow!
4. I get the hiccups at least twice a -hiccup- day. Grawr.
5. My puppy breath smells like coffee. Daddy will have to grow to love it.

we love us some burgers – Ruby’s

Too foggy to surf?! It’s okay, there is plenty more to do! T and I drove from Sunset Beach to Huntington Beach and filled ourselves happy with some Ruby’s.

We indulged ourselves with jalapeno mozzarella sticks to start off, and then T had a mushroom-y/swiss cheese-y/onion-y gardenburger accompanied with garlic fries while I killed off a Kobe beef burger and cajun fries (yes, the whole thing! Without a regret, I might add).

Check out the grin on this guys face. Who doesn’t love milkshakes?! (T especially loves the ones that come in silver cups..)

Ruby o’ Ruby, when will you bring your juicy burgers, A+ garlic fries, and delicious shakes over to the SGV?

dusting off the brother

Guess who finally took the cover off her sewing machine and spent 30 minutes re-teaching herself how to thread it by watching YouTube videos? ME! I have always had this terrible, and expensive, habit of pursuing hobbies and not following through with them, so as of late, I’ve been dusting off my sewing machine, Cricut machine, camera, and other useful gadgets. Check out the handkerchief that I stitched with my machine last week. I know it’s not much but I felt SO INCREDIBLY ACCOMPLISHED afterwards. Sewing is quite awesome! Can’t wait to see what I can put together!

Martha (Stewart), I am ‘this’ close to being your best friend!

dearest emily

did you have a good birthday?! i really wish i could have celebrated your big day with you because…

1. i miss you

2. we would have probably ended up eating sweets… and we know that you and i LOVE anything sugary

3. we probably would have laughed a lot

4. who wouldn’t want to be around you? (not just on your birthday, but every other day of the year.)

beauty find: no pinch lash curler

While flipping through InStyle Magazine’s October issue, I came across a little blurb about a new, no, THE new Laura Mercier ‘no pinch’ eyelash curler (they discontinued the old one). I, like many, have been a long time fan of the old school handle curler but I’m excited to see how the new one works. Doesn’t it look so cute and compact?
