    Heart Peplum Sweater

    Another sick day for me. I felt worse yesterday than I have since this whole thing started on Friday. Let’s hope that was the worst of it and today I can rest properly since yesterday I was too uncomfortable to rest. Let’s look at an outfit and photos of me when I was healthier and happier, shall we? I wore this black peplum sweater with abstract white hearts all over last week to work. When I wore it to work I wore it with fitted black ankle pants, but here I wore it with white pants and black heels for a fun bright pop. When I got this sweater I…

    Oscars 2020 Red Carpet Picks

    Did you watch the Oscars last night? I was half watching all night as I’m still sick. I’m hoping to get back to work tomorrow as being out of work is always more work than going. Anyway, I didn’t see any red carpet looks that absolutely wow’ed me, but I did pick out a few that I really liked. I’m always a sucker for grecian looks and Salma Hayek looked fabulous in this white gown with draping over her left shoulder and gorgeous hair piece. When I first say Natalie Portman‘s gown I thought it was beautiful, but wasn’t crazy about her cape. I was thinking it covered up the gorgeous black…

    Foyer/Stairs Update

    So remember yesterday when I said I was hoping to wake up feeling much better and wouldn’t have to go to the doctor? Well, I had to go to the doctor and it turns out I have the flu! While it sucks, I’m feeling kind of lucky (so far) because I know a lot of people who get the flu and are absolutely miserable for days and get very very sick. I have been feeling pretty normal aside from the fever and sore throat. Of course, when I went to the doctor yesterday morning my fever was gone and my temperature was the lowest it’s been in days. Isn’t that…

    XOXO Sweatshirt

    Well, the sickness bug got me. I’ve spent the past week doing everything I can (though apparently not enough) to not get sick. So many of my students have been out sick and a lot of staff have been out too. I was supposed to have a fairly busy weekend and had to cancel everything. I’m writing this ahead of time (Saturday night) so hopefully when I wake up I’ll be feeling better. If not, I’ll have to go to the doctor, but I’m hoping to get through it without having to go. On to the point of today’s post though. I’m sharing another sweatshirt that’s perfect for a casual…

    Mediterranean Zoodles

    Are you a zucchini noodle fan or are you trying to cut down on carbs? I’ve been interested in trying zucchini noodles for along time, but just never did until last year. I got a Wegmans booklet/magazine in the mail and they had a recipe for Mediterranean Veggie Noodles. If you don’t have a Wegmans near you, it’s an awesome grocery store – my favorite. It was actually voted best supermarket in the US! Anyway, I don’t have a spiralizer, but Wegmans has pre-cut zucchini noodles so I picked up a pack of fresh zoodles. I followed the recipe provided by Wegmans (linked above) and the only thing I changed…

    Facial Steamer

    Happy Friday! It’s been a busy week and this is going to be a bit of a busy weekend again. Can I just get a free day?! I’m hoping for a snow day at some point this winter before spring comes. Anyway, I have been intrigued by at-home facial steamers for about a year. I kept seeing people talk about them on Instagram and wanted to try one for myself, but I kept forgetting/putting off buying one. Facial steaming can help unclog pores and hydrate your skin. For Christmas, I got an Amazon gift card from a student so I decided to treat myself to a facial steamer. I searched…
