Alright, a few of my list items just lacked a certain lack luster blogging quality. I mean, do you really want to see screen shots of my search efforts for a replacement mixer part? That's what I thought.
The something I did turned out to be multiple searches to find my two replacement parts only to realize I do just fine without them. I mean, why waste money on something I don't actually need and isn't any fun anyway right? Exactly.
Decision made.
I've decided to just let it go. At thirty, do I really want to wear two wrist bands to work to cover up my body art? Nah. Sorry Mom; I'll just have to remember you without permanent ink.
This one was a total drag. I always hated the nondescript this-is-my-name email addresses. Until I realized that silly, way-too-much-information-for-the-checkout clerk/teacher/child's best friend's mom style email addy didn't really work long term either.
SO, when I became the proud owner of one oh so fabulous iPhone this spring, I jumped on the chance to create my own email via apple. And now, thanks to the advice of my sister, I just forwarded all my old email to the new address. Grown up-ish email address, done.
Pillow hunting should truly be a national past time. This took me forever and I'm still not certain I actually achieved it, but it is most certainly NOT from lack of trying on my part! My first purchases ended up on my front porch, my second purchase worked so-so, until we got new couches spur of the moment like...last weekend!
I tried people, I really tried.
While I had hoped (perhaps dreamed) of achieving this powerful duo while wearing a drastically smaller size and minus one double chin (see #10), it didn't happen.
Correction, defining my style happened.
Learning how to create (and yes, even execute) a polished look, happened.
Getting withing 15 pounds of my ideal weight? Epic fail.
But back to the good stuff.
It all started with a little book,
Good Girls Don’t Have to Dress Bad: A Style Guide for Every Woman by Shari Braendel
that taught me everything I needed to know and more about my clothes and accessories.
However, the make-up, hair and skin care thing really threw me. I had to call in reinforcements...and I may or may not have quizzed every woman I know about her hair care routine. Sorry about that.
Lucky girl that I am, my reinforcements happen to also be generous and as part of my 30th birthday, they arranged a little sit down with a make-up guru.
I should add, it took significant product experimentation to learn how to create both "curly" and straight styles on my hair. Tip, crank up the heat on your flat iron if you want to really make it work.
While it's certain I won't be stopped for my fashion achievements, it's also pretty safe to say I can pull off a decent grown up look now days. TLC's What Not to Wear...I think I've eluded you, for now. Score.
