You missed your train…

 

I think that’s the funny thing about life… you spend all this time wishing and hoping for this, that, or the other – thinking that eventually it’ll work out. Whatever it may be; a job, a relationship, a friendship, a new pair of shoes… anything. And then suddenly it passes you by… I don’t entirely believe in the “What’s meant to be will always find it’s way…” notion, however, I do believe that we are given, OR aren’t given certain things for a reason. And I think most of the time it’s just a reminder to stop always looking ahead {yes, we all want a full, amazing future} but to live in the now… enjoy the your time at the train station. Never know what may come of it…

 

We’ve made it to Wednesday – and quite quickly I might add. Make it a good one, kids.

Classy, sassy, and exhausted.

Y’all, I’m exhausted.

So for hump day I leave you with this thought…

 

I’m off to finish watching the #fabfive kick some booty {Jordyn just kicked MAJOR booty in the floor routine – I seriously almost clapped and cheered at the end!}… then sleep. Because my tired, tired feet and head need some rest.

Happy Wednesday you little Olympians! {what?! We can dream…}

p.s. where in the world did August come from?! Geez Louise!!

Rain is a good thing.

 

I think this is a good reminder.

It’s a rainy, dreary Friday {in Ohio, anyways} but we will take it. We need the rain. After work today I’m heading home for the weekend… and I can’t wait! I haven’t been home since Memorial Day {and that’s a long time for me!}.

Hope y’all have a fantastic weekend!!

 

 

Rules of life. {Just one}

I hate when I turn the TV on and there is absolutely nothing on. Nothing. Not. A. Thing. So… Teen Mom it is. Seriously, I can’t believe this show is still on? Haven’t we seen this drama enough??? Just a few words to the ladies {and MTV}… Dear Farrah, smile. It’ll get you much further in life than those ugly scowls and shitty mood you’re always in. Dear Maci, you’re my favorite, but seriously… a “family” photo shoot… with your ex and his gf? Uh… weird. And girl, there’s such a thing as powder or those oil blotter things – it’ll soak that oil right off your face. Dear Catelynn, Kudos to you – you’ve grown up a lot since I started watching this show and dealt with things very gracefully. I can’t imagine. Dear Amber, I haven’t been paying any attention – so I really got nothing. And lastly – Dear MTV, I’m not gonna lie and I’m not ashamed to admit I really kinda enjoy Snooki & JWoww {Don’t act like you haven’t watched it – I won’t judge;)}. They’re pretty stinkin’ funny. But The Real World? I really used to love this show, and wanted to be on it but now… it just makes me feel so old. And I really, really, really don’t like that. #justmythoughts

Anyways, I’m fresh out of anything interesting to say {pretty obvious, huh}… it’s like my midweek slump. Do you have those days?

So I’ll stop rambling and leave you with this…


It’s the truth guys – never question Cinderella’s decisions but always, always, always question Snooki’s.

Happy hump day, chickies!

{Pinteresting} Making a comeback…

Sometimes I get bored when I do something over and over again – I think I can equate that to undiagnosed ADD. So I stopped doing my Pinteresting Tuesday posts. I kinda stopped blogging. AND playing on Pinterest for a bit. Butttttttttt… it’s baaack!

Try to contain your excitement, guys. I know… you’re on the edge of your seat right now.

There isn’t a theme this week… just a hodpodge of things I’ve found pin worthy.

So, I mentioned yesterday about my “Morning Person Wannabe” thing – well, this, I think I could do…

I was inspired by this recipe and concocted something similar last week – it was DELICIOUS!!!! Recipe to be posted soon!

I think this is another good reminder. To be content where you are and to make the most of your life even if there are things you want to change… eventually.

I need to do this to my nails.

Loving this color palette. L.O.V.I.N.G.

See, I told you it was a bit random. Kinda my theme of the week apparently. Do you follow me on pinterest? No? You should… jacmaries.

Happy Tuesday, kittens!

Good Intentions.

I have massively failed at blogging this month – it’s been an uber busy month {I CAN NOT believe it’s almost over} and I’ve been crazily uninspired – and there’s nothing worse than that feeling. I hate it. But I’m promising right now to change that. I’m spending my day working on getting this little blog organized {thank you, Allie and your fabulous ideas!} and back in working order.

So stay on the look out – I promise June will be a MUCH better month around Messy Hair and Cowboy Boot-land. ;)

Hope y’all had a wonderful and relaxing Memorial Day weekend.

Pinteresting. {Sweet Summertime}

Ocean waves...

I imagine drinking these {blackberry mojitos} while being at the beach with my bests.

Best friends - I love this.

Serious motivation.

Being sweet. And silly. And in the moment.

Summer reminds us all to live a little more. Adventure a little more.

The beginning of May is always the first taste of summer… you begin to think of your summer plans and find this motivation that lies dormant for the other 8 months of the year. I love it. {It’s also my birthday month so I REALLY love it!} I’m looking forward to cookouts, bonfires, drinks on the patios, weekend getaways, relaxing in the sun, and just enjoying life this summer.

What are you looking forward to?

Check out my lovely friend, Beth’s blog and see what’s inspiring her.

Happy Tuesday, again. ;)

 

She sees the world through coral lenses… {Pinteresting Tuesday}

I need these pants.

I'm intrigued. Mint, blood orange, whiskey sour.

Coral. Coral. Coral. Do not be surprised if I sport something similar very, very soon.

Matte. Coral. Stripes.

Beyond true.

Coral and Orange.

Great use of a small place... and I adore the coral/blue room.

Words I try to live by.

Coral. I absolutely adore this color. It’s timeless.

Happy Tuesday, sweets. Don’t forget to stop over and see what my sweet friend, Beth in pinning this week!

Pinteresting. {Inspired by Watermelons.}

Who doesn’t love these colors? I didn’t realize how much I loved them until I kept finding myself drawn to this color combination. I think it’s very fresh, classic, and so versatile. There are several shades of pink and green and I think that’s what makes them so fun to put together. You can go very muted with a mauve{esque} pink and an olive green {like my bedding} to vibrant neon pink and green {like my nails}. I’m feeling so inspired to use these colors in various projects right now. Apparently, I just can’t get enough of them.

And I must give credit where credit is due – I may not love pink and green as much if it weren’t for my favorite fruit in the universe. The watermelon. Let’s pay homage, folks.

Do you have a color combination you gravitate to more so than others?

Happy Tuesday, Cupcakes!
