The Sarcastic Blonde

fashion, food, fitness + a dose of sarcastic gossip

friday randoms, Lifestyle

:: vegas….. round two ::

April 17, 2015

:: vegas….. round two ::
ummmmm we have SO much to discuss with Kim Richards.  the timing was just uncanny. 
I’m off to Vegas (for Round 2 in a one month span. just trying to work my liver to the max…. she’s getting really strong…. those crossfit people have no idea who they’re up against. I could crush them.) 
One of my friends is getting married and my girlfriend are I are flying out for a girls weekend celebrating her. 
there’s a group of us that go as dates to each others weddings (this will be our third wedding, no men.) and I can’t wait for a fun filled, booze filled, food filled, hopefully cash in the pocket from my killer craps skills at the tables filled weekend.   we’re staying at the wynn where the wedding will be, and I have heard amazing things. 

it was a loooooong week.  it’ll take everything in my power not to order a cocktail on our bright and early flight.  the only thing keeping me in check will be knowing by the time I land I’d be in rare form, and that I’d have to use the airplane bathroom 27 times with my non existent bladder. 

side note : I’m such a hypocrite and am always thinking such judgmental thoughts on the early morning flights when someone orders a drink.  Like, straight up liquor at the crack of dawn. 

I meannnnnnnnn…. for Vegas I guess I’ll forgive…. but have some self respect and sneak it with your own little mini bottles or something so that everyone around you isn’t thinking “DAMN BUDDY!” 

But thanks for making me feel like I really have my act together when my response to the flight attendant is “oh my word no thank you mam I will save my screwdriver for after I land instead of at 8 am on a four hour flight where the current time at our destination is 6 am.” 

now, when we arrive at the hotel, 
GAME ON. 
I promise I really will instagram more this trip so follow along 🙂 

happy friday!

coffee talk, Lifestyle

:: coffee talk ::

April 16, 2015

:: coffee talk ::
discuss amongst ya-selves…….. 


:: southern charm :: 
I love how they do the intro with Kathryn and Thomas TOGETHER – as one entity – when they show the cast. ha. okay. sure. 
a reader sent me a link about Whitney’s mom and who she is and a tour of her home (and a ton of other amazing things; thank you amy!) and it’s too good not to share.
here is the AD article on her home  . 
she was married to serena altschul’s dad (who passed) and so whitney’s stepsister is serena altschul. which makes whitney being a  “film producer” make slightly more sense even though it still makes him a crappy one filming T-RAV campaign commercials with hooters girls. 


the episode kicks off with Patricia making a scrapbook of whitney and his girlfriend….. but with tabloid cutouts ? what ?
she IS very pretty….. but I do not understand this relationship.  but I guess now that I know how loaded his family is, perhaps that is always a reason.
Thomas decides that the smart thing to do would be to host a “campaign party” at his house. his legitimate home. I mean GOOD LORD.
why not invite anyone and everyone into your families estate and private home where your baby is.  sure.  go for it.
crazy people don’t exist in the world, especially involving rich old families who lives are displayed in the public eye. 
kathryn has the perfect attire for a campaign event :
she wears a see-thru shirt with an orange bra….. perhaps she was trying to fit in with rest of the people that attended the event off of the street.

photo does not do it justice. 
oh, and of course Thomas gives his speech and doesn’t mention his baby mama once. 
what he is really trying to say in his speech he can’t quite put into words. 

oh, Travis! you just scream southern senator! 


craig…… craig, craig, craig.  

craig goes to the bar with no money even in his wallet. or credit card. I meannnnn listen to shep buddy…… you aren’t a rockefeller.
even drunk 24 year old girls with any self respect won’t want a guy that has no drive and no job.

side note : PROPS to kathryn for being SO GOOD at doing her hair.  every day its a different style.  even on moving day her hair looks better than mine has ever looked.  ever.  I’m so jealous of people that know how to do their own hair.
example below : even when she doesn’t give a damn and is crying and has no make up,
hair is ON POINT .



k ill stop. anyways…… 
next weeks episode looks super exciting : kathryn lets her hair down drankannn and old kathryn is back in action. YEAS.
also, an example of hair ON POINT even when in the SLAMMER. 

I WOULD KILL FOR MY HAIR TO LOOK LIKE THIS AND SHE IS IN THE DRUNK TANK. 
her, above. me, below. 



:: DWTS :: 

I haven’t seen all of this weeks episode,
but I’ll tell ya what I did see. 
Bachelor Farmer Chris snapped at his precious perfect partner Whitney and made her cry.
I. can’t. even.
I hope he got kicked off after I stopped watching. Bastard. 
Way to make us all watch a full season of the bachelor based on “who can live in my crappy small town with my crappy personality” and then LIVE IN LA AND BE A FAME WHORE ON TV YELLING AT THE CUTEST LITTLE GIRL EVER.
k….. sorry…. and he looked like a moron in the white grecian outfit. 




:: RHOBH reunion :: 



Rinna and Kim at the beginning was a bit much.  My girl Rinna was annoying me a little bit by having her first response to her angry texts to Kim be defensive crying about childhood stuff.  Come on now.

I mean it from a place of love.
You’re better than that.  This reunion is really getting to you.
 These poor newbies don’t know what they’re getting themselves into.
….. just say sorry and let Kim be the nutso pointing and jumping off the couch


And then suddenly angry as hell Kim was running over to hug her ? Did someone spike my drink ? Did someone spike her drink ? What’s happening ? 




OK. So on to more important things. Kim and Kyle.
We come to find out it all boils down to the dog biting kyle’s daughters hand.
They replay the video clips of two seasons ago when Kim tries to train her dog.

Kingsley attacking the “dog whisperer” again was the highlight of all three parts of this reunion.
 His voice was as high as Mariah Carey hitting a high note saying “off! off! off!” and flailing around. 

I rewound it four times and laughed harder than I did the first time it aired. 
…..but I’m sorry….. I know Kyle’s daughter “almost lost her hand” so I shouldn’t be laughing at dog attacks.  but I mean, the dog whisperer……. love. 

I just cannot believe that out of everything that has gone down, THE DAMN DOG is what brings Kim to her craziest point and causes her to make threats about telling things publicly regarding Kyle’s children.

Kim has seriously surpassed Brandi. Horrible.

I know pets are like children, but I LITERALLY CAN’T with Kim saying
“No. Talking about my dog is off limits”

WHAT????? 

 Yes, he is like a child, totally understand that…..
But talking about a dog is off limits?
What BECAUSE HE’LL HEAR?
He’ll know people are spreading rumors about him??!!
He’ll start reading the gossip blogs?!?!?
He’ll spiral into a deep depression from the pressures of being in the public eye?
LOCK IT UP KIM

go back to “I love turtles” and “where’s my juicer I bring it with me to Palm Springs?” or better yet YOU AND BRANDI GO FAR FAR AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK ON BRAVO EVER AGAIN. THE END. 

:: RHNYC :: 

My mom Nance-Pants says she isn’t watching this season after Bethany crying ep 1 like I’m homeless blah blah and she’s over it. I’m like welllllllll you do what you want, you’re a grown woman, but I am not a quitter.
If I quit a show every time a character drove me insane I would have zero TV to watch.
 AND THEN WHO WOULD I BE?
A person with a life? And good social skills?? Who,like…. Watches the news and reads the newspaper and walks around OUTDOORS during free time?

No . Thank. You .

The whole episode is like 
“ohhhhh Luann downsized….”
insinuating downsized to a shack.
“it’ll be so much easier to maintain….”
insinuating it’s so small she can take care of it herself and not be paying staff to maintain the grounds
“it’s …. you know…. Modern and New”
insinuating its new and not classic and old money like the hamptons should be. 
SERIOUSLY?!?!?

they are insane. Sonja the most. obviously. 
Yes, let’s criticize the million dollar beach house 99.9% of people could never afford. Including you.
except when she is hosting P.Diddy on her yacht in the south of france of course.  

Sonja is really the worst friend ever. It’s ALL ABOUT SONJA.
love it for TV sake.
her tooth didn’t fall out at all in this episode though, so there went my drinking game based around that.  it was a winner last season. fingers crossed…. i’m not giving up on it yet.

I forgot how much Bethanny and Ramona together talking over one another makes me want to find a xanax and wash it down with a full-fat-salt-rimmed-margarita.
both of you are obnoxious. both of you stop.

UM. look at this picture I found whilst googling for images for this post.
mind. blown.
:: Mazel of the Week :: 
Lisa Rinna for suriving her first season and reunion of housewives.
There were some close calls there…..
but luckily Kim and Brandi are such horrible human beings, when you finally strike back with anger, no one blinks twice at the shattering of a wine glass in Yolanda’s beloved home town of Amsterdamn. Hell…. we’re surprised it took that long.
Also,
and you still rock it just as well as the Depends.
ALL. THE. WAY. TO. THE. BANK.
suck it trebek take that kim.

as always, ignore my own blatant grammatical errors whilst I make fun of others poor grammar during coffee talk on a weekly basis.  
#hypocrite  #sorryimnotsorry
I write these posts late at night while simultaneously watching Bravo, taking snapchats of my snoring husband, and making to do lists of everything I was supposed to do and didn’t do that day and likely won’t do the next day either.  or the day after that.

:: artifact uprising ::

April 14, 2015

:: artifact uprising ::
just call me martha stewart, because I actually made myself a scrapbook. 



not by hand (which I used to do and they were ah-mazing but I spent a freaking fortune on them and so much damn time.  but then I got a life too. I jest. still no life.)



there are so many online options for making photo albums and I didn’t know what to try.


my friend told me about Artifact Uprising and it was a great choice. 


none of this is sponsored I just had such a great experience I wanted to share! 


images via Artifact Uprising 






they make it so easy to add your photos, add any text or borders to the images, edit, and everything else.



I wanted to make a book of honeymoon photos for Kip (and me… I mean, he was happy when I gave it to him as gift but lets guess how many times he looked at it since the first go through…….)



but didn’t want to spend a ton of money or time.




They have options for hardcover or softcover, and I chose the softcover option since it was my first time trying the whole process out (I knew if I didn’t like it I wouldn’t be out a whole lot of dough because they start at $18 — ours had a ton of pages and still only came out to about $35!!)


also, I knew no one would be going through it since the photos are super boring to anyone but us 🙂


I apologize for my awful iPhone pics of the album. 


my photos do none of this justice….. its hard to photograph a photo album





I tried really hard to hide my man hands. look at those beautifully manicured nails! sorry mom. at least I took off the chipped pink polish? 


It was so easy to print and order, but the better part was their customer service.


FedEx lost my package, and after waiting a few days and FedEx being unable to locate it, I contacted Artifact Uprising to order another.


When you call, they have an actual voicemail with one of the people talking.  You don’t realize that his does not happen anymore until you hear an actual persons voice instead of an automated one.


 THey have you leave a voicemail and they call you back.


my voicemail “Hi my names Taylor…..oh my gosh a voicemail?! this is so cool. (I ramble for 5 minutes)…..”


  The girl that called me back (very quickly) was SO sweet and within minutes was sending me another album (despite it not being their fault at all that it went missing) and apologizing as if they had something to do with it.  The customer service was truly incredible.





For my next alum, I’ll be trying out the hardcover option so it can sit out on the coffee table. 





I cannot recommend Artifact Uprising enough!!


Are there any online retailers you love for photo albums? 


I need to start doing something with all my pics instead of just storing them on my phone!


Oh! and they have instagram albums too – I know people love those!

:: the perfect bucket bag ::

April 13, 2015

:: the perfect bucket bag ::
my husband got me an early birthday present : the perfect bucket bag. 
annnnnd I LOVE IT. 
the quality is amazing and the price can’t be beat ($100 with coupon code) 
j.crew sweater coat (old, love this one) // jeans // grey tee // booties (similar) // bucket bag 

the weather was gorgeous saturday, so I threw on a casual outfit with my favorite sweater coat so we could run over to the sports bar to sit outside and watch the masters. (I mean…. I just want to eat that Jordan Spieth with a spoon.  He is so freaking cute.)

opened up it has plenty of room, which is necessary for someone like me who’s purse weighs about 10 pounds for no reason, but it tightens up into a perfect smaller shape.
 it also comes in a gorgeous navy color. 
 // j.crew bucket bag // 
use code SHOP NOW for 25% off, which brings the bag down to an amazing $100. 

other bucket bag steals : 
// $60 steal //

// under $50 //

// 50% off //

// only $50! // 

and two pricier option : 
// tory burch bucket bag // 

// and a splurge option //

:: weekend things ::
via
a random collection of things I meant to post Friday, but now will do 🙂 

// one //
 I love these mantra bands.  I thing adding one to my everyday gold bangle that I never take off would help the daily mindset big time. 

// two // 
I have been wanting to make one of the monofoku milk bar “hack” recipes for forever, but they are SO involved that I have never found a good time. Their desserts however are the epitome of crack and I know it would be worth it! 
I really want to get my hands on the new Momofoku Milk Bar Cookbook.
Perhaps I’ll make myself my birthday cake at the end of the month……. 

// three // 
gimme this dress.  
and this one. 

// four // 
how sweet eats is one of my favorite cooking blogs, 
mostly because of her funny weekly “crumbs” posts.
her discussion of MTV spring break brought back so many hilarious memories.
it was a full week of pure TV gold after school. 

// five // 
this weeks motivation 
if you like Tone It Up, their 8 week Bikini Series starts tomorrow ! 

off to get my errands out of the way, 
so I can sit on the couch and watch the masters all day.
I have a newfound love of watching golf, which I used to hate.  another sign I am getting way too old and sad.
