I am so incredibly lucky to be bless with so many best friends.  Seriously.  For our wedding, I had one maid of honor, two matrons of honor, and 6 bridesmaids.  That’s not mentioning my wedding singer, my happy helper, or my stand-in wedding coordinator.  Seriously.  I have a lot of best friends.   

Once I figured out that yesterday was Wednesday (I was very confused in the AM) I spent the entire day anxiously awaiting 7PM: my scheduled phone call with Jess!  Other than texts, tweets, facebook stalking and blog comments - we really haven’t talked since November.  And that’s just not right.

I discovered on Monday that Jess was keeping a secret from me… Apparently she became this hot shot fashion blogger last month and even didn’t let me know about it!  This girl has always had such a keen fashion sense that I have never been able to keep up with.  I remember spending hours upon hours together in our early high school years - trying to plan out our weekly wardrobe and penciling in onto our calendars.  Not so we would be prepared with outfits, but so we could look back.  I believe we had a three week rule:  Thou shall not wear the same outfit, or a piece of an outfit within three weeks of previously wearing said outfit.  

Ha!  I don’t know about Jess, but that rule imploded when I got to college.  And now, now that I am a stay-at-home-worker, I’m lucky if I change my outfit once in 7 days!  

But in honor of our phone & wine date, I decided to be a supportive BFF, and I got dressed yesterday. 

To be fair, it wasn’t just because of the phone date… it was also because I got a new sweater.  The Limited is the brand on the tag but I purchased this gem at Sams Club for a whopping $5!  Best part?  Five dollar sweaters from Sams Club can easily be blended into a weekly grocery receipt and your husband will never know.  Unless you’re a blogger.  And then the entire world will know.

And with that, I bring you my attempt at fashion blogging.  

I’m in dire need of a haircut.  But I’m going through a mid-life hair crisis and I’m terrified that whoever cuts it will just make it worse.  My hair has decided to go from super straight, very soft and a little thick to super straight only in the front, crazy curly only in the back, super duper thick and a tad bit coarse.  On a normal I-don’t-have-to-do-a-fashion-blogpost kinda day, I wake up, try to gather the curls and the crazy fly aways, and throw it all in a pony tail.  Yesterday though, I took the time to wash it (*GASP! There’s still hope for me!), condition it with special keratin conditioner, blow it dry, and semi-straighten it.  It was still a hot mess. 

I need a hairtervention.  (Yup, I made that up just now.  It’s an intervention for hair help. I expect there to be a banner similar to the #himym intervention banner.)  

And for the record, I straightened that crap on the left in the morning.

My whole30s, clean eating, and pondered thoughts of going to the gym are starting to pay off!

Can you tell I haven’t had any gluten in a week?!  Grain Free = Acne Free!  Huzzah!
