Ball of Confusion


Blazer: Gifted 
Tank,Shoes,Purse: Thrifted
Skirt: DIY from thrifted material
Scarf: DIY


Thats what the weather has been lately. A big ball of confusion. Today for example started out at a nice and breezy 62 degrees. The high was forecasted to be 82. By the end of the day it was a sweltering 88!!! I suppose this is my poor excuse for what I chose to wear today.

Bare legs+Blazer+Open toe shoe+Scarf = My in between seasons outfit :)

Happy Thursday!

Summer Fatigue


 Army Jacket and Unitard: Thrifted
Shoes: Marshalls
Bag: Gifted
Is it just me or does this summer feel like a marathon???? It seems like its just never going to end! Im ready to wear a sweater darn it!!!! Ok Woooo-Saaaaahhhh.......

With that said, I decided to run all my errands super early in the morning when I wouldnt feel like a loon wearing sleeves :) I did my grocery shopping, bill paying and other random stopping between 6 and 11am. For some reason, wearing sleeves made me feel a little bit better about the fact that in a couple months I just might wish it were summer again.


Anyone else feeling trapped in this heat?

200th Post! (Photo Bonanza)

Today has been a full of happiness for me. It started off with a bit of toe painting. Uninterrupted.
Then around 9 am I hit my fave thrift shop and picked up a few new scarves and this brilliant feathered ditty!
  Isnt it just gorgeous. I drooled and drooled when I saw it 3 weeks ago but the shop owner was unsure how much he wanted to sell it for...Well, he let it go for a mere $5! He said he knew i'd wear it and wear it I shall!
A word of advice for my fellow thrifters: Get to know your thrift store owner/sales people. They will be fair with you and will sometimes set things to the side knowing you'll love/cherish a particular piece.

Anywho, after that I headed back home to play with my new goodies. Little did I know that I would pick up 2 more surprises! My darling husband purchased this wide angle lens attachment for my camera!!!!! Hooray for thoughtful significant others :)

And these FREE glasses were in the mail too:

Yup, this was the best day ever...I guess its been a lucky day since this is our 200th post! Thanks so much for following, leaving comments and just being our internet pals :)

I Love the Nightlife...


Deon's always ready for the camera :)

These two had us cracking up!

They lambada'd the entire night!

My buddy and only female co-worker. Hey Shirley!


We ALL know Deon LOVES Sequins!

She almost DIED when she saw this guys jacket


So last night was another fantastic DWC meetup. We had so much fun in fact, that we only took one picture. :( After we ate however, Deon and I decided to check out a local cover band instead of our usual after-party at Walmart. As you can see from the pics above, we had a blast!


Who knew you could have such fun on a Wednesday Night??

Skin So Soft (SSS)

So, my husband is a teacher and so since he is off of work during the summer and I work from home we have been spending a ton of time together... so this is the reason why his has been mentioned in all of my post lastly... besides I find him extremely amusing.

Soooooo, I know that we all have our bathing rituals... they are very personal and private. Well, my husband was in the bathroom one morning when I was going through my after bath ritual. Now, please understand I was really trying to get him out but NOOOO, he was brushing his hair and grooming his beard for what seemed like forever. Sooo, Im waiting for him to leave all wrapped up in my towel and he is just not getting the point. Well, since it didnt seem like I was going to get my normal alone time I started with my normal lotion ritual. I was almost done when he was like "hold up, hold up... are you really putting all that crap on your skin"... I start rolling my eyes like here we go! He is always joking on me.

I actually use all of these lotions everyday and have been for years.

The Shea butter lotion is for my legs and feet, the lotion gets mixed with the baby oil... especially during the summer.

The Stretch Mark lotion goes on places that have or could get stretch marks... I have a few marks on my stomach so I use it there but I dont have them on my arms, butt and breast and I dont want them so its like preventive medicine.

And the Bath and Body works lotion is for the areas that are exposed... my arms, chest and neck.

Okay, there I said it... Im a lotion freak!!! I know that I am not alone.

What are some of your secret bathroom behaviors?

Wild as the Taliban

Skirt/Dress: Thrift Gifted
Turban: Gifted from Jamaica
Sunny's: Dollar Tree (can you believe it $1)


So, my good friend over at the Fashionista Next Door was the inspiration for sporting this fashion turban. Hubby and I were enjoying a sunny day of shopping last week. When I walked out of the house he did not say anything about the turban and in his language that normally means that he likes what I am wearing. Well, we pulled up to the mall and I opened my car door and he stopped and was like "what are you doing, where are you going with that on your head"... With a chuckle in my voice I asked him what was wrong with it. I was trying to explain to him that it was something I was trying out. He is so funny, he was like... why do you have to ALWAYS be the one people to stare and point at? Such a funny moment. After a few people passed and complement me on being an individual he started warming up to the turban and even started walking next to me.

How do you all feel about the Fashion Turban?

(sn: I took some really cute pictures and made a mistake and deleted them all... I dont know what I was thinking... simpleton!!!)

Blind as a Bat





I LOVE EYEGLASSES!!!!
Glasses have been a part of my "accessories" since I was 8 years old. I didnt wear them because I liked them, I was totally blind as a bat. Mostly because I would read until it was time to go to bed, then when the lights were turned off I would read with the flashlight I hid under my pillow. When my parents caught me with it, they took it away and I read by moonlight...sad I know. But thats the back story on the glasses. Ok, blah blah blah....
I said all that to say I recently (last month) got a free pair from Coastal Contacts during their giveaway to 500 Facebook friends...They only require you to pay for the shipping. If you like wearing glasses for cosmetic or necessity, they carry great frames for decent prices. Check them out! http://www.coastalcontacts.com/

Simple Day: Cap'n Crunch and Laptop

So, I have a huge paper due today at 6pm... of course I have not started working on it because that would be against all that I have ever learned to be. So hubby and I decided to work outside this morning. The weather was perfect, its perfectly overcast and a comfortable 75 degrees. I hope I can bang out these pages in a few hours... hopefully the warm breeze and the sound of the birds will propel me forward in writing an A paper full of Bla, Bla, Bla.
Of course we couldn't start our day without the breakfast of champions! I heart Cap'n Crunch!!

Whats your favorite Breakfast?

15 Minute Break

Okay, So... Its official. I AM THE WORST. I am so so so sorry ladies that I did not finish Beauty Week. I simply did not have the time. As you all know, I own a Marketing Firm AND I am in school getting my MBA soooooo every single day is a 3 ring circus. I have been pulling my hair out!!!
My husband could see that I was losing it and decided to take me out for happy hour. I totally needed to sit on the patio of a nice restaurant and have a virgin fancy drink with an umbrella. So I wanted to simply take a nice picture with my husband and this is how the picture comes out. He is such a JERK!!! Gosh, I love this man and his jerky little faces.



So, I think that Sweet Potato fries are really popular and this restaurant does them the best... they arent greasy or bitter they are perfect AND they serve them with a side of Blue Cheese. Perfection!!!

Sushi, Sushi, Sushi... oh how I love thee.. Tempura your the best... better than the rest.

Camera Fright?



Top: TJ Maxx
Jeans: Bitten
Sandals: Target
I know im not the most photogenic person in the world, actually Im extremely far from it. Im always extra fidgety when Im in front of the camera. To remedy this I plan to throw my nerves out of the window and see if it helps any. The first thing I should probably fix is all the talking while the camera is on me...perhaps one day I will post the many crazy faces of Keesha :)
Any of you feel the same way? What do you do to remedy the terrible personal shots of yourself?
Hope you had a great Wednesday!

Chinese Food "Soup Nazi"

The Best Chinese Food :)
Yeah Im not too sure what the old unplugged fax machines are for
While waiting for your food you can browse through the
candy and porcelain figurines that are for sale
I couldnt take the pics fast enough for the kids! They started eating
as soon as I pulled it out of the bag :)
Why I cant use my kitchen
So this post is pretty random but I thought I would share anyway. So as we said before there was a really bad storm in our area recently. It really threw everything out of wack for me. I can honestly say that since April 27th I have not used my stove AT ALL. Yup, we have been eating out or eating PB&J for nearly 2 weeks now. I just cant seem to get my head back in the game. I tried yesterday but The Hubby decided to start laying new floors in the kitchen so its off limits. Anywho I have been revisiting some restaurants that I used to frequent several years ago.
My son LOVES tofu so we decided to have chinese food for our Mothers Day Dinner. In our area, there are several chinese restaurants but none can compare to Golden Star. The food is super fresh and the service is, well for lack of a better descriptive word "Soup Nazi-ish". The lady that takes the orders literally screams at the customers as soon as they walk in, "Wa U Wan!"
No time for looking over the menu. This lady is on a mission. She doesnt discriminate when it comes to who she yells at. Black, white, old, young, whatever. Hurry up and order! I really wish I could have taken a picture of her but I was afraid that she would banish me forever and I cant live with that!
I will take the abuse as long as shes feeding me!
