Stitch Fix Review No.2 and Weekending No.3

Image
I received my second stitch fix this weekend and I was SO excited, until I opened it! Ya'll I was really disappointed in this fix. I feel like my stylist didn't incorporate anything I had suggested.     I like a good pair of skinny jeans, and even better in black. However, these jeans were baggy at the bottom and were high wasted. I just didn't feel good in these jeans and definitely not for the price. verdict: Returned The top picture isn't the exact jacket, but it is very similar. The jacket was a nice made jacket and the suede material wasn't too bad. The fit of the jacket was my problem, it was too short on me and the asymmetry of the zipper made the jacket look odd on me. Verdict: Returned   I can't even begin to describe how I feel about this skirt! First off I don't wear skirts at all, I do not like the way they look on me and they aren't comfortable at all. This skirt was terrible! The material was like a stretchy

Show and Tell Tuesday: Steal Vs. Splurge

Image
  Today I am talking about what I save money on and what I splurge on. This is going to be short and sweet cause I'm not gonna lie, I'm not good at saving money lol. How I save money Store brand instead of name brand Most of my clothes are purchased on sale! I rarely buy myself anything full price. Most of my girls clothes are purchased on sale or second hand. I am apart of several facebook second hand groups that sell really nice clothes really cheap! I pack my breakfast/lunch every day for work. How I splurge Going out to eat on the weekend. What can I say I like to eat out? It's a bad habit I wish I could break Shoes. I like to splurge on shoes for myself and my girls. Most of the time I keep Ryleigh's shoes for BK as she grows, and I resale Bk's shoes. Going on vacation. This is a goal of mine to spend more money on this year! I want to travel more and I intend on doing that :) linking up with Andrea  

Weekending No.2

Hey guys I don't know about ya'll but I'm so happy to finally see some sunshine! My poor state has had some severe weather the past couple of weeks. I would like to start this post off by asking everyone to keep Hattiesburg and Petal in your prayers! Saturday morning they were hit by a F3 tornado, which damaged most of Hattiesburg, Petal, and William Carey University, killed 4 people, and insured several others. We were under tornado warnings most of Friday night and most of Saturday night, but thankfully we didn't have any damage! Friday night I had supper with a few friends at Georgia Blue. Then we went to a bar to watch a local band we like perform.   Saturday I went to Louisiana to watch Ryleigh in her youth rodeo. I don't know about ya'll but nothing makes me happier/prouder than to watch my children do something they love to do. Ryleigh competed in sheep riding, goat tail pulling, goat throwing, dummy roping, stick horse barrels, regular barre

Thoughts for Thursday No.2

This week hasn't been the best week for me for a number of reasons, but today takes the cake! I woke up earlier this morning because I knew it would be raining and I needed to leave sooner to get the kids to school and get to work. At 6:30 a.m. while I am doing my makeup my sil called me to tell me we were under a tornado warning and the news was saying it was coming straight towards my house. I live in a mobile home so I was a little worried about our safety. I grabbed the girls clothes, put them in the car, and drove to my mom's house. The weather moved out and I took Ryleigh to school and I went to work.   I went home around 9:00 a.m. to check on everything and found my kitchen flooded!! I cleaned up as much as I could and left a fan blowing on it to hopefully dry up all of the water. On my way out of the driveway I ran over Ryleigh's bike :( I am going to have one upset little girl when she gets home, but I realized that today just isn't my day. It is still r

Weekending No.1

I am a day late posting my weekend because yesterday was a holiday and I wasn't on my computer any! I was glad to have an extra day to spend with my girls and I have soaked up every bit of it! Friday night I ordered pizza and we watched movies. My friend Bailey came over and we watched Hell or High Water, which turned out to be a really good movie. Saturday morning the girls had a birthday party at Jump N Jive, an indoor bounce house party place. The only picture I managed to get from the party. I couldn't catch Ryleigh fast enough to get one lol.   Saturday night we went out to eat for Carlie's 21st birthday at The Iron Horse Grill . This was my first time to eat there and it didn't disappoint. The Iron Horse Grill is located in downtown Jackson. We had a reserved room and Carlie's friend Halle had it decorated so cute with a photo backdrop, confetti poppers, and Carlie's favorite Bundt cake! The cake was so yummy! Bottom l

Friday Favorites No.1

Linking up w/ Erika, Andrea, & Narci   Accurate statement today! I woke up in a great mood and so did my kids! #score We have a 3 day weekend so I am super excited to just spend some time with my girls! Is it bad that I literally jammed out to some gangsta rap on the way to work then drank 3 cups of coffee?!?! If you are from Mississippi or the south then you find this hilarious and TRUE! Last Monday highs were in the 70s and there were about 4 recorded tornadoes in Mississippi. By Friday temps weren't higher than 30 and it was snowing/sleeting! Today I am in a short sleeve shirt and sandals! Come on Mississippi stop acting like a 3 year old that can't make up her mind!! haha Enjoying the freezing rain w/ my favorite nephews, since the girls were gone to their dad's house! Unfortunately it didn't actually snow so we weren't able to build a snowman or even have a snowball fight! Sunday night when the girls came home we had a pallet part
