Don't Sweat the Small Stuff....

Okay so maybe a wedding, or your company presentation, or meeting your significant others parents for the first time, aren't necessarily small things. However, they are all things that you do not want to be "pitting out" when doing. Especially when they all require the perfect outfit and poise, and pit-stains my friends, just don't go with anything.

When I figured out that it might be hot, and I might be a tad nervous on the "big day", I realized I needed a deodorant that wouldn't show everyone exactly how I was feeling. I picked up a tube of Kiehl's Superbly Efficient Anti-Perspirant Deodorant, and have to say I was a bit perturbed by the fact that I would spread this lotion-like substance under my arms and that it would work as well as Secret Clinical. I am quite happy to say that it did work well, and I got over the weirdness that is applying lotion under your armpits. I think I was developing a bit of an immunity to the Secret Clinical and this deodorant gave me the results that I desired.

So if you have a big event coming up and nothing seems to work, try this deodorant out, it is quite literally superb!

My Preppy Name

Your Preppy Name Is...

Armitage Winthrop Lathrop the Sixth But most people know you as Babs

What's Your Preppy Name?

Love this little quiz found on A Glimpse of the Girl Next Door. Quite the name I have there, but love that I go by Babs! I am gonna have to definitely sport that name when next playing tennis with Tad and Buffy.

Go Rhinos!

The Rhinos last softball game of the season is tonight, pending a win which would push us into the playoffs. It has been a very fun and challenging experience for me (I have come home with a new bruise every game), but I have enjoyed every minute of it. I will definitely partake again next year. Go Rhinos!

Get It, Got It, Good!

I ordered Sex and the City - The Movie (Special Edition) today and I cannot WAIT to receive it at home. The special edition includes additional scenes and all kinds of other goodies.

You can also pick up the theater version, if you don't care so much for the extras (I am such a sucker!). Whichever you choose, just make sure you get it and enjoy all the goodness that is SATC!

Song Of The Week: Wishin' and Hopin'

Shelby's getting married this weekend - YAY! In honor of her big day, and because it is one of my most favorite opening movie sequences I bring you Wishin' and Hopin'. I played this song over and over again whilst getting ready on my wedding day and I am wishin' and hopin' that Shelby enjoys her last week being engaged and smiles all week long!

Happy Birthday Stacie!!!

Happy Birthday Stacie!! I hope you have a wonderful celebration and wish I could run across the field and grab your hand for some treats! XOXOXO

I'm not a bill, but I will be on top of Captial Hill this weekend. It is my first time visiting the "other" Washington and I am soo excited! Have a fab weekend!

Leather Flip-Flops - On Sale!!

Today I was browsing the Century City Mall and decided to peep into Martin + Osa and check out what they had in store. I don't generally head in there but today it was as if the store was calling me inside for a reason. Well that reason was these awesomely, perfect Osa Leather Flip-Flops. Not only are they super comfy, but they were also on sale for $29.95 less an additional 25%! I quickly snatched up the gold and "purple" (they are NOT purple but rather a royal blue - never would I buy that color combo ever - GO COUGS!) and headed to my local register. I love them and cannot wait to sport them in D.C. this weekend!

BTW...do any of you readers have any suggestions for drinks, dinner, must see places for this upcoming weekend? We have Friday night, Saturday day and Sunday morning to get some sight seeing and eating in. Would love to hear what ya'll have to offer!

So if you are in the need of some seriously sweet flip-flops head on over to Martin + Osa.

Song Of The Week: Forevermore

I first heard the song Forevermore in the opening sequence for One Tree Hill last week. Now generally I don't watch this show, but I have been known to not change the channel after watching an episode of Gossip Girl. Katie Herzig has a beautifully melodic voice that is sweet but not too syrupy and this song reminds me of doing the hand jive with my friends when I was younger, and it's REALLY hard not to smile when listening to this song. So grab your closest girlfriend and start singing along, and I guarantee you will have a trip down memory lane.

Forever Frugal Friday

I recently purchased these gorgeous Beaded Teardrop Earrings in both the Gold/Sage combo (shown) and also the Gold/Pink combo. These earrings are so cheap and yet they look so much more expensive then they really are. I wore them out recently and most people were shocked that they were from Forever! The picture does not do the earrings justice at all and for this price, you would be silly not to pick up a pair. Perfect accessory to jeans and a tee or a sassy going out dress. Either way you will be stylish and have some spare change to enjoy your day or evening out!
