A Singing Contest, Some Egocentric TV Personalities and Reasons Why I Love Spray Tanning

...and the 2011 Blogger award for longest title ever goes to.....

Whatevs.

Anywhoodle, if you’re reading this, it means you’ve made it to Friday. And for that, dear readers, I commend you. And me. Because I’m writing this and that means I’ve made it to Friday, too.

In honor of today, the day that signals the end of the work week and the beginning of the glorious weekend, I thought I’d just purge some rando thoughts, ideas and questions that have been running through my mind this week. M’kay?


1. First thing’s first, my good friend Euni has a very talented young daughter, A.J., that is quite the singer. She is actually participating in a Youth Talent Contest right now where people can go and vote for their favorite kid performer. KFSM will choose 30 top performers (chosen by the number of votes) to perform in the semi-finals on the Dr. Pepper Stage at the 2011 Arkansas Oklahoma State Fair! Their judges will then choose 15 finalists to take the big stage for the chance at the grand prize!

If you get a spare minute today, can y’all go vote for her please? I’ve sort of watched this kiddo grow into her own over the past few years and she’s not only beautiful, but also just a GOOD person; pure of heart and considerate of others. She’s also got a heart for the Lord, which just makes me love her even more : )

So yeah, please go lend A.J. your vote! You can vote once a day, so get to it, Blonde Ambitioners : )


2. A few of y’all have asked where you can get affordable silk tunics, so I’ve searched the interwebs and found several WAY cute options for you for less than $100 a pop. Take a look-sey!

-Twist & Tango Silk Tunic from ASOS
-Silk Tunic with Buttons in Olive from National Jean Company
-Silk Charmeuse Tunic from J.Jill
-Da-Nang Voile Tunic in Raw
-Trinity 3/4 sleeve Tunic Top in Sage/Red Print
-Quicksilver Nevermind L/S Button Up Tunic in After Hours Black
-Abstract Satin Tunic from Forever21
-Pleated Peter Pan Top in Cream from Forever21
-Long Woven Shirt in Royal from Forever 21
-Sheer Woven Top in Nude from Forever 21


3. I’ve gotten a couple requests from readers to re-post the links to the APY60 fitness program. This workout program has changed my body and gotten me into wedding shape in no time flat! You can visit APY60.com to learn more about this program, created by the yoga instructor for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders! APY60 fitness program…it’s awesome!

4. Has anyone else out there tuned in to Most Eligible: Dallas on Bravo lately? Honestly, it pains me to admit I watch such hogwash. But seriously, the amount of ego that each of the cast members carries is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. However, do I think I'll tune in? Yes. I'm a glutton for mindless, self-indulgent television of any kind.

5. I love spray tanning. I feel like I’m constantly professing my love for the spray tan, but I really do love it. I’ve been getting one every two weeks all summer and I can really tell a difference in the way my skin feels, as opposed to previous summers when I’d bake in the sun for hours on end and come home looking like a leather satchel. I cannot tell you girls enough how important it is to forego the tanning bed. I talked to a girl yesterday who just found out she has malignant melanoma. She tanned for years. Spray tanning = Best thing to happen to the beauty industry ever.


6. I’ll definitely be getting a fresh Mystic Tan before those boudoir pics I talked about yesterday…


7. Speaking of the boudoir pics, I now feel like I need to do 1,000 sit-ups before bed every night leading up to that shoot. Now I know how those Playboy centerfolds must feel.

Minus the big boobs.

And I’ll be wearing underwear.


8. My new hair extensions and I are really getting along well. I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to invest in some. I mean, how did I go 26 years without knowing the pure bliss of really long, clip-in hair?


9. I want this Animal Print dress (also seen below) from ASOS in the worst way.

10. We are getting our marriage license on Monday. WOAH NELLY!!!!


11. I’ll no longer have a fiancé in 28 days. I’ll have a husband. Again, Nelly, woah.


Y’all have a great weekend. I’m off to visit my momma for the weekend.

Be blessed, lovelies-
