Seven Things On My Mind

1. All blog posts should be formatted in list form, right? So easy to read, and you can skip right on if you please.

2. Wito is obsessed with Angry Birds. In fact, this photo was taken at a toy store selling Angry Birds collectible plush doll things. As if the game itself wasn’t enough, NOW WE NEED STUFFED ANGRY BIRD DOLL THINGS. How could you say no to that face?? I did, however, say no. (But he is getting a few from the Valentine’s Day cupid. Look at that face! It’s like kryptonite, I say!)

3. I cut my bangs again. I just couldn’t stand it anymore…they had grown past my chin, so I decided to show them who’s boss.

4. The No Shopping Challenge has really been tough for me this past week. I’m fading fast…and I know some of you are wondering just WHY it’s so hard for me to just NOT shop. I guess the best way to explain it is that shopping is my vice, you guys. Some people can’t live without a daily Diet Coke or coffee (I don’t drink caffeine or sodas), some people bite their nails (nope), smoke (I don’t), abstain from healthy exercise (not me), shoplift (hell no!), drink (okay, I love me some beer, but all in moderation)…I just…shop. I very much like to shop. Let’s take away your caffeine for 5 weeks and see how that goes down!

This is all just to say that my 90 Day No Shopping Challenge Pinterest board is filling up fast. I’m holding strong!

5. To combat all of this no shopping mania, I switched my focus to cleaning out my closet. Again. Lucky for you, I’m selling some bags at Whoorl’s Closet. Need a (nearly) new bag? I’m your girl.

6. My mom and aunt will be visiting tomorrow. The kids are ecstatic, and well, I’m pretty ecstatic myself. Can’t wait for some mom time, even if it’s only for a few hours.

7. One of my guilty pleasures is watching the Real Housewives. I love Beverly Hills and New York, and have tried to barrel through Orange County during the last few seasons, but YOU ALL, I saw the Orange County preview last week, and I have to say, as much as I love the Housewives franchise, I CAN NOT watch Orange County this season. The plastic surgery, the 17 layers of foundation on the women’s faces, the utter lack of ANY class whatsoever…I literally can not watch it. It’s absolutely mortifying. Let me just state for the record that YES, there are obviously lots of people like this in Orange County, but there is SO much more here. Style, class, and charm do reside here too, you just have to filter through the fake boobs, Ed Hardy, and Hummers to find it. (I think that should be Orange County’s new motto.) Are you watching this season?

I Might Buy Something Today (+ Instagram Update)

1. I’m leaving for New York tomorrow morning. I’ll actually BE in New York for 36 hours. Way too short, if you ask me.

2. I’m filming some spring fashion and beauty segments, and I need to dress appropriately.

3. I’m probably going to buy something today. At J. Crew. Because I CAN’T CONTROL MYSELF.

4. But I’m going to be on film, people! Talking about spring! Shouldn’t this situation give me a No Shopping Challenge pardon or something? I didn’t buy anything new for last week’s style documentary, but this is too much!

5. I’m a loser void of any willpower, aren’t I?

What should I do? Stay strong or muster up something from my closet?

In the meantime, here are my recent photos from the Instagram Photo-a-Day Challenge.

Odds and Ends

1. I spent most of yesterday being filmed for a documentary featuring stylish moms. (What the WHAT? How super cool/exciting/insane is that?? I can’t wait to see!) I just had to share this photo because I can’t stop laughing. First off, Wito is the little speck in the distance, about to be taken out to sea by the tide. Secondly, little miss Wita jumped into the ocean within 5 minutes of arriving at the location, and spent the next hour or two blissfully running around like a drowned rat. And there I am, trying my best to look calm, cool, and collected (and stylish, to boot!) while peripherally watching my children head straight towards their watery demise. Note to self: if ever another opportunity presents itself involving filming my children on the beach, BRING A BABYSITTER.

2. Is 2012 gearing up to be a year of travel, like yours truly? I did a short Hair Thursday video on my favorite travel hair products. Check it out, if you feel so inclined. (Also, check out my new hot pink lipstick that was 6 bucks! CoverGirl Lip Perfection in Eternal #350.)

3. We are in the thick of Stop The Thumb Sucking mania. We’ve successfully made it to Day 5, thanks to a goofy-looking thumb glove. More about that here.

4. Vitamix post! I will definitely get cracking on that. Keep in mind, though, that it will only be about why I chose the Vitamix over the Blendtec, not a head-to-head comparison, since I don’t own both blenders. Just my personal pros and cons…and maybe a video of one of our favorite smoothie recipes.

Ready, break! Have a great weekend, everyone!
