ITs Friday!!! Lets DANCE!!

Its Friday, and just like every day there has been NO time to for me...Except my cousin Heidi and I found this great yoga class, that not only gets me one hour to myself, it is also bringing us closer.  However... this is not you average yoga class.  The class is called Kundalini, not only do you get the workout but our wonderful Yogi, also focuses on the mind and spirit aspect so we are actually getting a lot out of it.  That one hour is just what I needed to prepare myself for tomorrow!! We have a track meet at 10am, and then one at 2 on the other side of town.  We were suppose to have a fundraising car wash but that was cancelled, this is the only weekend we do not have a tournament, so of course I have big plans to clean my house, pull out summer clothes and I am sure I can add more to my plate =).  With all of that being said, I am trying to figure out what to wear and if I will have the energy to do my makeup, as I am washing uniforms at midnight.  I did get a goody bag from a friend of mine of new products that I will be trying out and do a review on, and I also got some REALLY cool things from the new MAC line that debuted on the 18th, that I can not wait to show with you!!  I hope you all have a great weekend and sleep well!  If you have any ideas on how you organize your weekend or your crazy life please post below!  We would all love to hear your tips.  I know that I have paired up with parents that have multiple kids in the same grades and activities as mine and we work out our schedule that way.  So please post below, and please subscribe!

FAVORITE SHOES EVER!!!


I must say, at first I was sketchy.  I didn't know if I could pull off the look.  The shoes/boots I am talking about are Minnetonka Moccasins. They come in a variety of colors and styles. The pairs that I have are the 5 tier boots in Black and Dust Brown (yes, I have 2 pair in different colors) I come by this honestly...My Nana was the same way.  They also have 3 and a 2 tier in the boots, along with slippers sandals and more.  Some retail stores sell them or you can order them online at Minnetonka Moccasins < click there for link>  I am hoping to get a pair of 2 or 3 tier in the grey!! The great thing about these boots is that you can wear them all day, they come with a guarantee, and they actually go with everything!! With my COACHELLA weekend, I wore them tights, a high low shirt that had a heart cut out and a lime green shirt.  You can wear them with dresses, jeans, shorts, whatever you heart desires!! They are great for all seasons!  I wore them the other day when it was over 80 degrees outside and my feet were not overheated sweating or anything, I have high arches and that didn't even bother me and I got so many compliments! It was fantastic!! You must try these out!!  If you are like me and not a big fan of online shopping, if you clink on the above website, they will tell you who in your area sells them.  If you live in my area AMARILLO, Texas I do know that Get Gussied Up sells them, that is where I got mine!  You can also order them at QVC, or HSN if they have them in stock and you like to shop with them.  If you order them online know that at first they may fit a little tight, they are made of natural materials like deerskin, sheepskin, and items true to their heritage. They will stretch on your calfs, if you wear a half size go ahead and go up a size so you can wear thicker sock in the winter... if you are prone to cold feet.   It is a family owned business that started 1946 and has been passed down through 3 generations.  They do ship and have affiliates internationally.  One important reason to mention to that is that they are an American Company, who is true to there roots.  Let me say the 5 tier cost $98.00, but if you spend over $75 you get free shipping.  If you get a lower tier the price goes down, and you can always find coupons and savings codes.  They do have "dupes" for these but I have not tried them and I with the quality of these I would recommend these.  The "bargain" boots that I have seen do look just as nice and I have not seen anything wrong with them,  I would like to say I do not think you are just buying these for the NAME.  If you have come across a pair that is comparable, please let us know!! I would love to check them out and see what they are like... I am fan of shoes =).  Here is a link to Get Gussied Up for all of my local Glammies, not only do they have Minnetonka boots, but some AMAZING clothes as well! Get Gussied Up I am also posting some outfits that I found to give you an idea of what you could wear them with.  I look forward to feed back please subscribe, I also have some HAULS coming up soon!

And so it begins!

I had high expectations of waking up EXTRA early this morning...nope didn't happen lol!  That's ok, I have my travel bag of makeup and I am bound and determined to get my face on today!!  (I can do it and so can you)!  Even if its just a little bit of mascara that will make your eyes POP, or a lipstick/ gloss.  Something that simple does actually help.  I am a perfectionist and I have been working on that, and I use to think that if I can't do my whole face why do anything at all.  So.... my challenge for you is to do something that makes you feel a little more "fancy" for your Saturday? OH! Maybe a necklace or pair of earrings!  Comment below and tell us how your going to fancy up your day!  Hope you all have a great Saturday!!

P.S.
If your not going to Coachella, what are you doing to Coachella your weekend?

COACHELLA my weekend withTaxes, Birthdays, Basketball, Track and more!

Well I am not going to COACHELLA this weekend...but I am going to make sure that I carry on the atmosphere around me!  I am going to dress as if I am there, I will be posting outfits of the day, listening to great music, and just making sure that I have a smile on my face!! One good thing about being in my home town...where the humidity level is normally a ZERO, I can wear my make up and hair how I want to =).  My Saturday is going to start off CRAZY!!! I have to find one my sons white jersey first thing in the morning, make sure the other two have everything they need, and grab all of my tax paper work and be out the door by 9AM!!!  At 10AM we have a track meet and a basketball game, then at 11:30 we have a basketball game, a "maybe" game depending on if we win or lose and an appt to do our taxes, then its back to the bball tourney for me!  I have NEVER waited this long to do my taxes, but going through recipts and everything that happened last year brought back memories that were hard to face.  BUT remember we are going to COACHELLA the weekend with a smile on our face!  At the end of the crazy day, my best friend is having her birthday and I can not wait to go hang out with her for the evening!!  I know I have some high expectations on how tomorrow is going to go, but I do know that it will all work out one way or another.  I hope all of you have a great day, a super weekend, and if any of you are going to Coachella, please post pics!
