Uncovered: A look inside my handbag!

"Guys, a woman's purse, it's her secret source of power. Alright? There are many dark and dangerous things in there, that we, the male species, should know nothing about." - How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
I've always loved that line but I mean, really!? I volunteer to break the lady code & lift the mysterious veil that is, the contents of a woman's handbag. Now, the bag itself can change from day to day, week to week or even day to night, depending on my ensemble &/or the occasion. The contents however, are usually must-have items & remain the same. So... what's in my handbag?
  • Dental floss (or gum) - Just in case!
  • EOS - My favorite chap-stick, ever!
  • Lip-gloss- Usually I keep a clear lip-gloss on hand but I've been in a nude+splash of pink phase with bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie - Smooth Talker.
  • Daily planner/calendar - All of my dates, events, plans & goings-on are kept here. I use Google Calendar as well but I personally prefer having a handwritten (physical) copy within quick reach.
  • Wallet - The usual: cash, credit cards, driver's license, etc.
  • Car keys - Obviously!
  • Pepper spray - Ready, set...
  • Tissues - I have severe allergies. I require 3 shots every week & tissues daily!
  • Nail-file - Have you ever broken a nail half way through your day & didn't have a nail-file handy!? Me neither. It's a MUST!
  • Hand lotion - Living in Arizona, I battle dry skin year round & I'm constantly abusing using my hands; so I cannot leave home without lotion! I love True Blue Spa Super-Softening Hand Lotion from Bath & Body Works!
  • Q-tips - These are fantastic for quick make-up touch-ups!
  • Hair-tie(s) - Long hair, enough said. You can never have too many of these!
    So, that's it! It's all so very dark & scary isn't it boys? ;) Ladies, tell me! What's in your handbag??

Just another Manic Monday? No thanks!

Click to enlarge! Yes, Monday is back (yet again) but here's an idea... instead of harping on how short your weekend was or counting the days until it's once again "TGIF", shift your negative mindset in a positive direction. Make a list of everything that you love right now! I'll go first... 10 things I'm loving right now?! 10. The HEAT is ON in Arizona & I am loving it! 100° temps all week! Summer + pool season has once again, cometh early. :) 9. My new Michael Kors Men's MK8086 Runway Silver-Tone Watch! It simply doesn't leave my wrist these days! Yes, I wear (& prefer) men's watches... the bigger the better! 8. The two shows my husband & I cannot stop watching... Game of Thrones & House of Cards! Just drink the kool-aid. 7. Music From Baz Luhrmann's Film: The Great Gatsby! I haven't even seen the movie yet & I'm hooked! Never-ending replay? Yes, please! 6. Tomato + Coral nail-polish = Poppy! I'm obsessed. 5. This is amazing! Seriously, how fun is this couple?! 4. This interview/feature by the lovely & oh-so talented Jenn Wagner of yours truly! Love her!! 3. Getting together with my family for Mother's Day yesterday was such a treat! Celebrating Mom & spending quality family time with my husband, brother, Dad & of course, Mom; makes my heart smile! I love, love, love them! Life is short, spend more quality time with your loved ones! Less gifts, more quality time! - Write that down! 2. A solid recommendation from the fabulous Gala... THIS book: WomanCode: Perfect Your Cycle, Amplify Your Fertility, Supercharge Your Sex Drive, and Become a Power Source is amazing! Females, it's a must-read! I can't put it down. 1. My husband & Miss Cajmere! Seriously adorable... love-overload! Click to enlarge!               Tell me! What kinds of things are on your list??

Are you smiling yet? :) Happy Monday!

My Met Gala, 2013 | “PUNK: Chaos to Couture” Top 5!

I don't usually cover events, it just isn't my thing. I thoroughly enjoy attending them but as a joyous participant vs. media personnel with the responsibility to "work". With that being said, the Met Gala isn't your average event (& I wasn't invited) *cue the trombone solo*... but that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying the magical affair from afar, with a delightful shade of envy. Here are my Top 5 fashions from the most magical night of the year! 1. Blake Lively (Gucci Premiere, with custom Lorraine Schwartz jewels) Click to enlarge!Click to enlarge!               2. Taylor Swift (J. Mendel with Lorraine Schwartz jewels) Click to enlarge!Click to enlarge!               3. Anne Hathaway (vintage Valentino, with Valentino Garavani) Click to enlarge!Click to enlarge!               4. Cara Delevingne (Burberry) Click to enlarge!Click to enlarge!               5. Joan Smalls (Tom Ford with Tom Ford) Click to enlarge!Click to enlarge!               Yes, I'm admittedly partial to black & no, not all of these looks are perfectly on "theme" but for an evening of this dramatic & glamorous magnitude, I say go all out! Wear the dress that speaks to you & rock it! Attending the Met Gala would be a fairy tale dream come true... and it will happen... someday! ♥

  The Power of Visualization, by Martin Prihoda is amazing, insightful & beautifully written! Paige Zaferiou of Tarot & Tea and her wonderful recap of The Blogcademy! I couldn't agree more with her thoughts on the amazing experience we both shared, so I'll let her tell you... in her very "Paige" way! :) ↓ Please enjoy the Seppälä Woman!
AND... the fabulous Green Street Realty Charity Fashion Show I was asked to be apart of; along side Phoenix Fashion Week & in support of Phoenix Children's Hospital! ↓ Happy Friday! ❤ It's Friday, I'm in ❤!
