Hope you guys are having a happy “First Day of the Second Half of 2015”! This year – like every year it seems – is flying by. I am excited to spend a quiet weekend at the pool, take in a ballgame and hopefully keep the pups from freaking out from the firework noise. I forgot to share my June Favorites this AM so popping back in with my wishlist (and some items which I purchased “to me, from me” for my birthday last week.

This month began with a trip to New York. And it ended with a visit to Chicago. I am not really a big city type of girl, so I am surprised that I visited two such meccas! Next trip will definitely be to California to see my beloved coast and friends. Sorry for the light post today – Mercury Retrograde has me in a bit of a cloud so I am regrouping this week. I don’t always believe in those things, but for some reason, the last couple of years they are always spot on. In the meanwhile, here are some links from around the web:
I admit I am guilty of “buck naked” and “wheelbarrel” – which of these “Eggcorns” are part of your vocabulary?
Love these crafty meals out of pantry staples (when you think you have nothing to eat).
After loads of magazine reading on airplanes, I cracked up at this humorous essay.
I cannot believe it is June – here are some of my favorites from May from around the web:

As I mentioned earlier this week, I am headed to a friend’s wedding this weekend. So apologies for the light postings. I am running around trying to get work/errands done for the week all before Friday! But really looking forward to getting out of town. Next week, we will be back to normal operating procedure.
For now, my shopping wish list from the past month:

Anyone else celebrating (crying) with me tonight as the TV show Parenthood ends? I honestly think it is the smartest show on television – lovely actors, usually amazing story lines and “that hit home” moments. I will always love the Bravermans.
In honor of that milestone, I thought I would share my skin care routine along with my January favorites today. I am leaving town for a long stretch in a short bit and am a bit distraught about being away from my skin care goodies. I thought maybe sharing my current favorites would help me narrow down the lineup for the trip.
I have no idea how 10 years ago (in my twenties) I could muster a carry on for six weeks in Europe in seven different climates. These days, 7 days in two American cities just undoes me.
And my January favorites:
I seriously am starting to realize that the years go by faster the older you get. Where in the heck did 2014 go? I cannot believe it is already winter and December is upon us. Tomorrow a huge cold front (with some potential ice) blows in so it appears that Oklahoma weather finally got the memo it is winter – it was 75 here today.
I am looking forward to some busy couple of weeks getting ready for a quiet Christmas. While I don’t really have any events scheduled where I would need a dramatic makeup look, I do love this holiday face above. The red lips are so spot on. And a slightly thicker cat eye compliments it simply and perfectly.
Some of my finds from trolling the Internet over the past month:
Okay, I am such a curmudgeon. I really don’t care for Halloween. But the kiddos are coming to the office today to trick or treat and I am oddly excited to hand out candy while getting stuff done in anticipation of the weekend.
Now, if I could somehow pull off a way to replicate the above look, you better bet I would embrace the All Hallows’ Eve and hit the town. We shall see what happens. For now, this is “End of October Day” and “Stanford Plays Oregon Tomorrow Day” in this house. And so, here are my favorites from around the web this month:
