:: Coffee Talk ::
I can’t. too good.
her rambling on about her elementary school pictures and how difficult it was for her to talk to ben about it….. someone please help this girl. lunatic.
moving on to Olivia…..
she’s being all dramatic sitting on the couch, with her face looking like this (see above and below) waiting for her name to be called for the first ‘one on one date’……
of course I can’t find a photo of that….
but trust me its not as good as the two gems above 🙂
On these group dates, I’d be the girl with the oversize T over my swimsuit in the pool, or like in a mumu sitting on the edge of the hot tub with just my feet in like “sorry producers, I was unable to successfully catch mono prior to coming here, so over my dead body will you get a shot of my ass for america to see mmmmmkthanks bye.”
or who are we kidding I’d be the girl that got drunk night one and kicked out before the rose ceremony even started…. PAH-REACH!!!!
“Doesn’t Kanye’s collection just inspire you !!!”
and then…. this is the stuff that Kourtney puts on her app.
that people pay for.
I have no words.
Kylie’s video about 2016 and her Resolutions (video)
HASHTAG OUR CHILDREN ARE SCREWED AND THE WORLD IS DOOMED.
episode 4567 of Vanderpump really GRINDING MY GEARS.
she starts the episode with cornering sweet little Eileen about meeting her husband and the affair and acts like she has NO IDEA what she is hearing.
its not news. your ex – bff brandi even flipped out on her about it last season.
vanderpump exhausts me.
although I do agree, Eileen just say I don’t want to talk about this.
and then Vanderpump does it all over again to Erica.
and does it every single week to kyle!!
all while smug little ken sits in the limo next to her.
do you think ken gets embarrassed being lisa’s little toy and following her around and going to the luncheons and dinners with all of the women and then “leaving” when they sit for dinner?
do you think he has any idea that he is just the bigger version of Giggy that can’t fit in her lap, but plays the same role?
HASHTAG DEEP THOUGHTS BY TAYLOR.
bethenny is back and I kinda love it! I love a housewives crossover!
bethenny about vanderpumps magazine cover + party
“thats a magazine? bella? I’ve never heard of it? “
hahahaha- YASSSSSS.
bethenny to erica’s face saying mean comments but acting like they aren’t and then having the comments get meaner and ruder when she is hosting her at her house? not so much. lock it up B.
learn to bow down to the queen that is Erica cuz I LOVE HER.
“I don’t know anything about margaritas. And I don’t know anything about being skinny. So I don’t mess with her SkinnyGirl shit and maybe she shouldn’t mess with mine.”
PREACH ERICA PREACH!
I hate seeing this David and Yolanda stuff…. her saying she doesnt know how she would go through it without him…. him making not funny asshole comments about her breast explants. ugh. its too much.
:: jackhole of the week ::
I’m watching WWHL with ma-boyfriend-andy-cohen and he has eva longoria on and ryan seacrest.
{after CURSING THE TV that we didn’t will the Powerball. EFF THIS SHEEYITE}
kip just turned to me and said “who’s that?”
about ryan seacrest.
seriously. seriously.
I mean its definitely the most understandable out of all of his “who is that” …. nothing compared to “who’s barbara walters” ….. but still ….. he’s an alien.
:: wishlist wednesday ::
:: crack of the week ::
and totally unrelated, but I literally can’t read this without hearing the phone calls and their voices in my head and laughing (I’m sorry this is funny),
Four things that had to happen to start every conversation :
Brendan’s Mom : “Hello?”
Brendan : ‘Hello?”
Brendan’s Mom : “Yeah?”
Brendan : “Yeah?”
EVERY. TIME.
:: weekend, resolutions, and things ::

hope you all had a great weekend!
In a way, a cold weekend in January is the time to be stuck on the couch, and I slept and watched TV pretty much three days straight. Somehow I am still exhausted though – it’s like I couldn’t get enough sleep no matter what, but I am feeling a bit better today.
I just took my Christmas tree down! Today!
cook more
I make dinner for us every night but it’s simple things. I don’t try new recipes as much as I used to, so I’m hoping to spend Sundays trying out new dinners and desserts like I used to.
read more
I go through reading phases…..
now that its wintertime hopefully I’ll be jumping back into it.
I’m currently reading this, and I read Amy Poehler at the beach and loved it.
workout outside the house / more classes
I already work out as much as I would like to – at least 5 days a week, sometimes 6.
I really need to start upping the workouts though; trying new things and pushing myself more.
As you know I watch my shows when I workout at home, so a lot of the workouts aren’t super intense and I’m not seeing results like I used to.
To help kick past the plateau I want to go to workout classes 2 days a week, which for me sounds terrible. AHHH. I hate leaving the house to workout and hate going to a class alone. I currently go to a Pure Barre class once a week, and I only even started doing that when I went with a friend for weeks before every going alone. It’s time for me to up it to 2, or to try a new workout class in general (but no way in hell will I try a new one alone, so Emily this ones back on you again to take me!)
no social media within an hour of bedtime
I did this last week and it was great. I had a much easier time falling asleep.
I’ve gotten back into reading for a bit before bed and it’s helped.
less tv before bed
I meannnnnn we all know I’m not going to watch less television.
Why would I do that? Why would I do something so horrible to myself?
So, while I will still watch nine thousand of hours of TV per week (barely exaggerating), I WILL work on having the TV be off for at least an hour before bed along with no computer/instagram/etc. except it’ll never work on wednesdays because the nights I write coffee talk go really late and that’s why I make absolutely no sense. I don’t know what my excuse is for the rest of the time.
make better use of the weekends
this is obviously self explanatory, but I am a lazy S.O.B. a lot of the time and its like I work all week waiting for Friday and then somehow it’s Sunday night again.
I did practically nothing this weekend, but had the sick excuse, so hopefully next weekend I’ll do a bit more 🙂
and some blog related goals….
prepare posts in advance
I’m just the worst at this. I am such a damn procrastinator and night owl.
get better with photography
I am just literally the worst at this. No explanation needed, you’ve seen it first hand.
comment on other blogs/reply to readers more
Notice the theme: I am just the worst at this. But if I prepare my posts in advance more I’ll have more time during the week to read my favorite blogs and comment and reply to people 🙂
do more fashion posts
I told myself I would do that this year….. but it didn’t really happen. I’m a sissy pants and get self conscious so I half-ass it with the mirror selfies…. we’ll see what comes of it…..
:: bedroom updates ::
nope, not exciting blogger-esque bedroom updates like I’d hope.
realistic FML WTF OMG crap up in hurr.
soooo this is the current status of our bedroom while I watch the Golden Globes.
goodness gracious DON’T EVEN get me started.
hopefully the next update will include a beautiful photograph of our bed with the perfect pillows and a beautiful floral arrangement on the nightstand.
:: grand cayman ::
a reader asked about recommendations for grand cayman last week
(and look at me making good on it – check that resolution box!)
we have been going there for 10+ years and I absolutely LOVE it.
it is possibly my favorite place ever.
as for where to stay, anywhere on 7 Mile Beach – but definitely stay on 7 Mile Beach!
For restaurants :
Calypso is a must – and get the sticky toffee pudding for dessert.
It is heaven on a plate. Heaven.
We also love Deckers, The Wharf, Papagallo, and Grand Old House.
That is just a few – the restaurants in the Caymans are insanely amazing and we always go to the same ones instead of venturing to new ones that we hear such wonderful things about. You really can’t go wrong!
For activities, I am lazy as hell 🙂 We sit around on the beach A LOT.
It’s an awesome place to do nothing.
Oh, I rent paddle boards, that is always a good one.
But definitely do Stingray City. It’s an amazing experience and year after year it never gets old – smack in the middle of the ocean, a sandbar with tons of wild stingrays that swim right up to you and you feed and hold.
in the picture below, all of the dark shadows are stingrays.
If you can, and you have a group big enough, charter your own boat. (boat behind me in the photo is not the one we chartered – you can get smaller simpler ones!)
Getting out there in the morning before any of the big Red Sail Sports and other boats come out is one of the most amazing experiences ever. Just you and the stingrays.
:: obsession ::
I am a yogurt freak. Like, I can’t get enough and I’ve been eating greek yogurt with granola for breakfast every day for years.
I was making a salad dressing for a new recipe (I’ll share tomorrow!) that needed plain yogurt and they only had the giant tubs.
The recipe also called for honey, so I figured the Honey Noosa yogurt would work.
UMMMM I now will be eating this yogurt plain for dessert.
It’s INSANE.
I just saw online that they have SALTED CARAMEL and I think I may die and go to heaven when I get my hands on it.
:: LEO ::
ummm I’m watching Leo win this golden globe and give his speech and I keep seeing Katy Perry…..
she’s in the front not even looking at him and listening to his speech.
GIIRRRLLLL you better check yourself!
PAY ATTENTION. LEONARDO DICAPRIO JUST WON.
RUDE.
and YAY LEOOOO!!!!!!! but I don’t think I can see that movie, no offense.
:: KTHANKSBYE ::
mmmmmmmk thats all for today.
have a great monday!
