A Little Wordy Recap for September

So September has come and gone and that is wonderful/sad. I love September because it is so transitional and has a fresh appeal. Such a good, love filled month so without further ado, away we go...........


I so got to cover Mall at Millenia Fashion Week and it.was.super.fun. Watch here! It was challenging to capture shots in a packed crowd of people and exhilarating at the same time. If I could do this all day, err day, you betcha I would!




A mid month bach party with a theme of black ensembles and pink accessories caused me to commit myself to a group since I may just have a problem. Again, these are just some of my jeweled goodies that have some sort of pink in them. Shameful? Eh, maybe.


Then to coincide, while disassembling my outfit from the day one night, I looked down to actually catch myself saying "too much"? Obvi it was lack of sleep and I realized I is who I is:




I reached another yearly milestone of age and celebrated many times at many places with many folks. To feel so blessed? The thoughts, well wishes, love, and absolutely fabulous people I spent time with keep me in awe of my good fortunes:


Our youngest nephew Connor, aka Nonner as he calls himself (I die), hosted a birthday brunch at the Oviedo Townhouse and we chowed on some delish morsels of southern goodness to kick off the day before the actual day


Uh-oh, gifted new accessories? I definitely have a problem/blessing...





Beautiful cards that are absolutely so fabulous! These pups have been recrafted into decor for my work space, thankyouverymuch.

Speaking of my desk, some of dearest work lovies dolled my desk right on up. Be still my heart...



My love Hunty makes my heart sing each day but boy does he put up a good birthday!





I feel empowered to take on the next 7 years of age. I say 7 because I always heard of 7 year increments for hair and skin trends, well the same goes for state of mind. People always ask you if you feel different or older, it's almost cliche, but this year ironically no one has asked me and I'd actually be ready to offer a response that says yes, I do feel different.

I know much more about lots of things: saving vs spending; taking care of your body and mind equally; when to listen to your instinct and when to throw caution to the wind; learn to take time for self but know when you hustle too; know when to give your all and don't stop til it's great-it's ok to push limits on all fronts; it's okay to be afraid, it's not okay to not face fear; dragons exist and while fairy tales are highly fictitious, there can be so much good that comes from the overall theme; and lastly, if nothing else, optimism gets the job done.

So there we have it. If you made it this far, you deserve a cookie and possibly a beer. Either one, happy living til we meet again!

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w...

Simple blessings

I’m lying in bed, next to a snoring husband and my baby girl dogter sprawled out cozy as can be, while the rain falls down upon our roof. Gone are the days of spending a Saturday night downtown at a club, throwing beers back in a honky think, or galavanting around to anywhere with the lights on. And I’m not mad about it. Not even a little bit. There is tilt no place I’d rather be than with hunter, Roni and our comfy sweet little home happily netflixing and writing this here post. It’s a good feeling indeed. I count my blessings extra on nights like this and say a few additional prayers for love and comfort to continue on. I truly don’t ask for more than health, happiness, and love. Anything else is gravy. To simple blessings for all.

Blogtober Dayyyy 27! A Letter To Your Younger Self

First of all, this is my 203rd post! I slid right on by the day I hit 200, probably in a haze from writing so many days consistently like this. So I am now thrilled to announce I am moving right along and haven't tapped out. For that I have Blogtober 2014 to give credit to. I am so so so determined to meet my goal of writing all 31 days. Thank you again for linking this up Helene and Taylor !! Now, on to today's topic: A Letter To Your Younger Self Dear 22-27 year old Meggie, Hey, it's me, 29 year old you. Just wanted to check in and cover a couple things that I've learned to be true, so if you want to go ahead and use this insight sooner, have at it. So a few things still stand that I've mentioned to 17 year old you and as I recounted the ten things I've learned since high school . Please keep drinking water over anything else and avoid the hair bleach. But you know, being 29 and thinking back, the ages 22-27 were a huge chapter of your life a...
