1. I miss the Olympics. It’s ridiculous, actually, because my experience with the Olympics had to be the worst in the world…being on the West Coast with the tape delay, it was like the entire entirety of the universe knew what happened before I did. Couple that with getting behind on our DVR (because who [...]
You all, we got The House. We. Got. The. House. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Let me back up a bit. So, I wrote the post. Several days passed…D and I were still in the dumps about losing the property, and we just couldn’t buck up and move on. Now, besides my flair for the occasional [...]
Oh, you guys. I’ve been waiting to post for the past several days – just daydreaming of a fun way to tell you that we were in escrow on our first house. Not only our first house, but THE house. Our house. The house that has kept D and I up into the wee hours [...]
This week has been rough. I’m feeling a little overextended. A little out of it. A little homesick. A little lost. Definitely not on top of things like my usual self. (Sorry I didn’t realize you had a school schedule change today, Wito! I swear I wrote it down somewhere….) This always happens when I [...]
1. Everything about the woman in the above photo is perfection to me. Absolute perfection. 2. I completely forgot to announce the winner of the Jewelmint giveaway from a few weeks ago. Sorry, guys! The winner of the JewelMint jewelry is #41, Abi! Congratulations, Abi. I’ll be contacting you shortly. 3. Speaking of giveaways, don’t [...]
Here’s the deal. I started a Facebook page and I want you to like it. Here’s why: 1. It would be very sweet of you. 2. I need a place where we can discuss random things. Let me explain. One of the reasons I love Twitter is when I’m looking for information, I can tweet [...]
Since it’s Valentine’s Day, I hope you will allow me to wax poetic on relationships for a bit. I mentioned that one of my 2012 resolutions was to rid myself of toxic relationships. I wrote about disingenuous and pot-stirring ones, but what about the relationships that always seem to bring you down? The friendships in [...]
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, [...]
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. [...]
Big weekend at the Whoorl household. D and I celebrated our 7-year anniversary on Saturday, and I turned 37 on Sunday. (Love all the sevens, by the way. Let’s hope that means a lucky year lies ahead!) Southern California had a rainy weekend, which truthfully could not have made me happier. Chilly, fall weather? Yes, [...]
1. For those of you patiently awaiting my skincare post, it’s coming this week. Hang tight! 2. This week marks the last week of my family friendly meal posts at CafeMom. If you’re interested, here are the recipes so far. Burgers and black bean/corn salad. Pork and bean stew. Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken and Crispy [...]
This very second, I’m typing on my MacBook Pro while my son listens to a Pixar book on the iPad and my daughter sleeps to the sound of white noise on an iPhone. I’m absolutely confident in saying that I would not be enjoying this blogging career had Steve Jobs not been on this planet. [...]
1. Alright, ladies. It seems from the tweets and emails and comments I’ve received, many of you will be rocking these pants soon. Since they were on final sale, I said a little prayer that they look smashing on all of you. (They will! I know they will!) I think I have some more of [...]
I am quite beside myself with excitement to announce that I’m writing for Babble.com. (Jumping jumping jumping up and down over here! Have you seen the Babble Voices writers? I’m thinking some crack was smoked before my name was thrown in the ring.) Starting this week, I will be writing a weekly column about, you [...]
1. What is going on with women’s disposable razors these days? Neon colors! Glitter! Tropical scents! Who in the hell needs a disposable razor that smells like jasmine? Really, people? Is a scented razor handle truly going to take your showering experience to the next level? Will you breathe in its intoxicating scent between razor [...]
