Day 332: #marriage

Unplanned fun is the best, especially when it comes in the form of a surprise gift from the hubs. Actually I had a surprise for him too. We must have been thinking of each other at the exact same time–the post work errand run time–because the first thing he said when he came down to help me carry groceries up (yes, so sweet) was, “I got you a surprise.” And then we got to have that “Me too!” moment.

I got him a hoppy beer by Lagunitas he had never had called Hop Stoopid. The cashier at Trader Joes totally gave me props for my rad beer selection. And the hubs surprised me with this iPhone case that is PURPLE CHEVRON.

I mean, hello.

I love that we surprised each other (granted his was an actual gift and mine was technically groceries). I love that we were thinking of one another at the same time. I love that when I guessed it was a gift from the Apple Store (cuz I’m tricky like that), he wasn’t mad. And I love that we both loved what the other came home with. Love is all around, y’all.

Day 330: Shoes!

So my friend Sarah and I have a shared Pinterest board. Well, she does all the work, I just admire its usefulness. It is dedicated solely (ha solely) to comfortable shoes for our arthritic feet. Today I finally ordered a few pairs!

In recent months I have been more dedicated to shoes that keep me comfy all day and look stylish. (I have been living in these Merrell sandals–obviously casual but can dress up with certain summer dresses).

Before, the latter would have been the priority. Because I made this change in the summer, all of my good shoes are warm-weather friendly. Sadly, August is already halfway over and summer will soon be a memory (booooooo) so I need to find some fall friendly footwear. Here’s what I ordered:

 
Timberland Falmouth Ballerina Flat for work. I will wear with skinny ponte pants, a t-shirt and a blazer–classic I-work-in-the-theatre casual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clark’s Originals Desert Lace-Up Boot for casual fall days. I will pair with jeans (skinny or bootcut) and a cozy sweater for weekends full of football and apple cider.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. I never order shoes online, so hopefully this isn’t a total sizing mess!

Day 294: Oh Anthro

When I saw this, I was very confused about what was for sale. A stool for your dog?

No. It’s the bow tie collar.

Day 288: Ombré

I know it’s not very new anymore, but I’ve been noticing a lot of different ombré hair colors out there. I’ve successfully maintained long hair for about the past year and a half so, rather than do something drastic with the cut, I thought it might be fun to make a color change. I asked for a nicely blended ombré that still had a big color difference from top to bottom. I’m super happy with it, though I think it could still be a little darker on top…

Day 281: Massage Envy

Did you know Massage Envy holds an event called Healing Hands for Arthritis to benefit the Arthritis Foundation? One day every year, $10 from every one-hour massage and facial goes to the foundation. Every location! Nationwide!

No, this event was not today. Though today I did sign up for a membership with Massage Envy because I got an online deal for a massage. The masseuse I had (Rebecca at the Southport location) was so great that I want to see her every month and get a discount. Massage can really help blood flow through achey joints. Also, because I spend a lot of time at a computer, I have big knots and big trigger points in my shoulders. They are horrible but Rebecca is GREAT. And I’m glad to support a company that does so much for the Arthritis Foundation.
