Yeah She's A Keeper

Happy Hump Day Y'all 🐫  Wednesday happens to be my Monday so ... bless...  Here are some things that I need to get through my 'Monday' as a zookeeper.  First off my water bottle, it's a Hydro Flask. Link here  Hydro Flask It's massive, it keeps things cold, and it's pretty. Pretty is important in a job where you clean up poop.   Then my pouch, I'll do a post about my sweat proof and fool proof makeup later. My pouch is from Target. My speaker. Y'all I can jam all I want to in my behind the scenes secret section and I do. It makes the day go by so much faster. PODCASTS and AUDIOBOOKS. If you are like me and are terrible at getting things done while listening to 🎶 music. Then my 📓 notebook. So I have ADD. I cannot remember half the things I do in the morning let alone what I ate so I write everything down. I think it's a great habit because no only do I have a better record when I go to look at my notes on an...

So there has been some discussion among my bridesmaids about the color of dresses... I have 11 girls so you know NBD.  But my sisters dresses are a different color than the other girls... but initially their dresses looked different than each other and I had a melt down... Turns out they might not be. They might be the same. Or they might be different.  I need y'alls help. So tell me... the same or different?  Comment below and you have a chance to win a painting by my meerkats

Enjoy your wedding they said, it will be fun they said.  Wedding planning is fun. But not in the easy YAY let us go to the pool fun. No. It is fun in the challenging kick your ass kind of way. I printed all the addresses on my invitations ladies.  ALL OF THEM. INNER AND OUTER.  It was not easy but it did it. I will make a full blog post about that here soon to help all the biddies.  Instead here are some pictures of my work babies.  I got this amazing pan because Kevan scratched the hell out of my other pans... It cooks everything. I mean it. I can cook everything in it!  I found it on Amazon.

Happy Hump Day Y'all! 🐫  It's been insane here since I last posted, I started and stopped a few posts got distracted and now we are here 44 days out from my wedding... Lord help us all. It's fine. Totally fine I promise. But wedding planning is not "fun fun" but more of a "stress fun" where I want to drink too much wine and sometimes stress cry. SO. My wedding 👰 photographer was in Houston for a family reunion and was able to take more engagement pictures for Kevan and I.  She is amazing, seriously amazing. I wish I had better words to describe her style other than she truly captures the moment, less posing more talking more wonderfulness. Here are a handful of them, I really don't have a favorite. It's just too hard to choose. Isn't she amazing? Seriously I have never felt so naturally beautiful in a long time. Stephanie Rose Photography is AMAZING YALL. Check her out, she has a mi...

Hello Houston!  Well I have officially been living in Houston for two and a half months and now Kevan has also moved!  We are living in the city and I'm so excited to finally get to show him around. Unpacking is a MOFO y'all when it's a boy and he doesn't understand the basics of moving dear lord save his soul.  This is my basic mood ATM 

We are all allowed to live on the planet rent free, the least we can do is take care of it. As a zookeeper, conservationist, and tree hugging 'dirty hippie' that I have been so labeled I figured that it was time to give people alternatives that are eco-friendly, cost effective, and just all around feel good options that are easy to switch out!  The biggest change that I have committed to making is being straw free in 2016. Don't get me wrong, I love straws. But you know what sucks more than running out of wine or coke? The number of straws that don't end up in the trash. And you know what sucks about trash when you throw it away? That away doesn't mean it disappears. It goes somewhere. Not to be a Debby Downer but much of that trash gets ingested by wildlife or entangles them.  Sea Turtle with a straw stuck in nose Sea Turtle with Fork Stuck in Nose  If those don't rip your heart out take a look at this ...  Guess what?  ...

The Bachelor: Why we love it.  Before I say anything else my golden rule about deciding who I like as a contestant is if I could ever be her friend under normal circumstances. If she can't hang Ben Higgins she ain't the one.  www.thedenverchannel.com Ah... Ben Higgins. He is a stud, he is kind, he is caring, and he is just as awkward as we are. We love Ben because he honestly doesn't know how cute he is. But the real question is why do we all love the Bachelor so much? There are many reasons and for all you closet Bachelor and Bachelorette lovers out there it is time to come out.  We love the drama. I love the drama. When do we ever get to be a part of drama without actually dealing with the social / emotional / heart crushing ramifications?   As women, or at least for me, I download and demand that my friends and family download about their love lives. No matter your career path, your education, your degree ... we al...
