Lingerie

I LOVE new “pretties” (aka panties)!

Lingere

Sorry for the mental picture and to the men that may follow. Don’t run – you may learn something that will benefit your partners!! I realize imagining me in lingerie is not exactly what you wanted to envision as you were eating your lunch or drinking while enjoying a read on my blog. However – this is serious talk.

Did you know that in high school I male classmate gave me the nickname of “Wedgie Picking Queen?”

I had one of the most exciting wardrobes growing up. I was spoiled rotten, having a mother that always had me in the newest western designer jeans. In the late 90′s, I recall wearing the “in style” bareback (pocket-less back) and two colored jeans.

However – back to my story. My skin tight western styled jeans had 2 flaws with my underwear choice.

1) You could SEE the underwear lines!! (Horrifying!)

2) It was really uncomfortable and despite the fact that I was a cutie wearing these pants – I was coined the “Wedgie Picking Queen” because I secretly (obviously not a good hider) tried to get my “wedgie” out without my peers seeing me. Mission – unsuccessful.

I think one day I’m going to publish a book and call it – “Things I wish my Mom would have told me!”

I present a toast, to the creators of thongs! Mmm…I wonder who invented them.

Here’s to cute, comfortable, colorful thongs (or panties)! Ting! (our virtual glasses touching)

I LOVE buying a new pair (or two…or whatever the sale is – 5 for….) of pretties to add to my life.

There is an awesome feeling about opening up your drawer and deciding which pair of adorable, comfortable pair you’re going to wear today. Is it just me or do you color coordinate your pretties with the clothes you’re wearing?

I challenge you to discard one pair of underwear from your life TODAY – you know the ones in your drawer that you never wear, for whatever reason AND replace them with a NEW amazing pair!!

If you’re feeling really generous – I dare you to also pickup a pair for your best friend, sister, mother, someone special in your life that would appreciate this gesture also and deserves it!

Male readers – if you’re still with me – this is the part where you come in. (Hint hint – forward the link to this blog to your partners!! Be sure to include a P.S. I prefer ___ (thongs, boy cut, full brief, etc) and am a size ___ – unmentionables tend to be a final sale) Instead of stopping to buy a bouquet of flowers spontaneously, stop at a store and buy your partner a pair of pretties!! I realize it isn’t Valentines – but that’s the point. “Just because” gifts are equally, if not more important – in my opinion.

Have an amazing day!

Monday Theme Song

I heard the perfect Monday morning theme song on the radio today:

Suddenly I See by KT Tunstall

It is the opening song from one of my favorite movies, the Devil Wears Prada! This YouTube.com video is a compilation of clips from the movie with this wicked song.

I’m feeling very sassy today! Are you?

Bag Lady

I tend to tote around a LOT of stuff – my sweet better half calls all of my prized belongings doodads and my Mom calls it loot.

I’ve got better about using bags to carry around everything, instead of balancing individual prized possessions in my arms. I’m well known in my family for randomly tossing multiple pairs of shoes in my car – just in case OR hauling around a pile of papers loosely OR I may even be caught throwing a bunch of things into plastic bags (I’ve dramatically reduced how many I use nowadays). Last year I got some fantastic tips from my followers about being “greener” after posting my entry -

Nowadays, I carry more reusable bags around. This morning I laughed out loud at what I looked like. I was carrying 4 bags to my car!

They all had very important roles in upcoming day.

My purse – my first designer bag that my husband gave me for Valentines Day!

In January, I told my frugal hubby that I needed to get a new purse, as my current one was on its last thread. He informed me that I needed an upgrade when getting my next handbag! The exact words out of his mouth were “like Coach or something”. I was SO excited to get this gorgeous new Guess handbag from John!

My favorite – everyday bag that carries anything and everything!!

My Tante (French for Aunt!) Louise & Uncle Marlin gave it to me when I graduated from University. It’s an ESPE (espe.ca) bag and I love it. I also love their wallets and have wore through a couple of them.

My staple – this amazing bag was our swag bag at an Arbonne conference – it is seen stuffed full (as usual).

This particular day it was carrying clothes to the seamstress (note – I’m a domestic goddess in training & delegate jobs I don’t prefer), however it often carries my laptop. I’ve been looking for a beautiful RED laptop bag (for my 17inch laptop) for awhile…if you see one…please let me know. Thanks!

My lunch bag!

This is a BRAND new bag that I got from my Mother-in-love & Father-in-love for my Birthday. It is even personalized with my name!

DSCN0419 DSCN0421

It’s an insulated lunch bag, that was mailed to me full of treats! Robin Eggs & cookies – so much fun.

Are you a bag lady/man? Do you have a favorite? Do you trade purses often OR use the same one for months/years? I’d love to hear about your collection.

Live Inspired,
Robyn

UPDATE – check out these Facebook commments/discussion that started as a result of my Facebook status about bags!! LOVE IT ;)

What are you doing Friday night?

I got this fantastic email from my friend Dana today and wanted to share it with you! I did a quick Google search and found out that it is real – he he - results here. Even if it wasn’t – I’m ALL over it.

_______________________

Just thought you should all be aware that Friday January 8th is …

National Bubble Bath Day !!!!

So enjoy your soak and the wine that goes with it on Friday after our first full week back to reality.

_______________________

I love it!! Insight on this national holiday.I just so happen to be doing an Arbonne Foot Soak and Wellness Session with 40 youth girls from our church Friday evening. After the excitement and a house to myself (hubby will be gone doing a presentation) – I’m quite sure that I’ll be able to celebrate this holiday with a bottle of Shiraz.

Are YOU going to celebrate this fabulous holiday?

Sweetness

When my marvelous man is on the road working (and I’m left Fending for Myself) – I find exciting ways to entertain myself.

I ordered a piece of cheesecake to go from the Cheesecake Cafe (surprise surprise, as you know from my Perfect Long Weekend) one afternoon this summer.

Cheesecake to Go

I went to a local park and took in the gorgeous weather.

How do you have fun alone?
