I had the ultimate indulgence this weekend when I joined my girl friends for a spa day/sleepover at the Four Seasons Hotel. Ooh lala!!! We arrived early on Saturday, enjoyed the spa amenities, got our massages and then laid by the pool for hours. Poolside food service and sun for the win! It was so…
Getting a stomach bug when you’re older is the worst – I didn’t even lose any weight! Haha. But nothing feels better than feeling better. And showering for the first time in days. Being at the mercy of Stevie P. when you run out of toilet paper is interesting. After 20 minutes of yelling directions…
My brain and I are never ever ever getting back together. Like ever. Remember those very expensive prescription sunnies I scratched? Well I scratched them again. And then I used a screen cleaner on them, which wiped the Ray-Ban logo right off. Then I left them in a dressing room and didn’t realize it until…
#1. Thanks for all the support (as usual) after my venting sesh on Monday. Ya’ll are better than any therapist I’ve talked to! And thankfully Stevie is having a much better week so far. Fingers crossed for many good days in a row! #2. Down to business! I’m always excited to try new products from Younique! Check out…
Hello, my name is Jaana and I may have just overdone it on the self tanner. Paul and I had a date night a few weeks back. We saw Whiplash and then ate Hot Dog on a Stick at the mall like a couple of gosh darn teenagers. It was pretty perfect. There’s no feeling quite…
Making: Stevie do all sorts of things he hates. Cooking: is for the birds. Drinking: the non-dairy Tropi-Kale smoothie from Robek’s. Reading: Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site Wanting: another tattoo. Looking: for a chambray romper that won’t break the bank. Playing: a few new DVD’s hoping one will catch Stevie’s interest. Deciding: on therapies for Stevie. Enjoying: spring blooms in…
I’ve never done a breakdown of all my clothes on the blog before. I’m kind of excited to share! Just a couple years ago, it would’ve taken a decade to go over everything in my over-packed, overwhelming closet. But for the past few seasons, I’ve been working on defining my style and whittling down the junk. And…
Even though most of the country is in a warming trend and starting to see glimpses of Spring, just a week ago much of the Midwest was still in an arctic freeze. So imagine my nerves as we headed out to Chicago, Wisconsin and Missouri to visit family. I was prepared (and kind of excited)…
I haven’t had a spa day in years. So when I get desperate, sometimes I’ll just slather organic coconut oil all over. Since it warms on contact, it feels like your own personal sauna. And leaves your skin pretty soft. Just don’t sit on anything! If you search Google Images for Nene Leakes, she seriously…
I had some requests for a tutorial on this hairstyle, after it was debuted on un-fancy.com. Oh, my hair is embarrassingly dirty in this video. If you saw my Confessions last week, you will already know. But I just hadn’t had time to wash it, and this is what I do when that happens – the…
