The Bachelorette Deserves an Academy Award and a Hug

July 30, 2013 · In: ROMANCE, Uncategorized

This is my first season watching The Bachelorette. Chris got me into it thinking I’d enjoy it, “because all women love it,” and he was right. Yes, it gets a bit slow and boring as she tells us how much she is “falling in love,” with each and every guy but analyzing the interactions and behaviors of the “characters” in the show is so juicy and fun…especially with my VERY intuitive and relationship savvy husband! He is always right!

Chris had Brooks pegged from the START! I was so hosed by the producers and I’ve been thinking it has always been very-polished Chris on the show. P.S. I have NEVER been one to be able to predict how a movie ends-sometimes even Disney Movies. AH!

So last night, after months of being a total politician and pretending to “not know” WHO she was going to select as the love of her life, Desiree was DUMPED by the guy she claims she was most into-BROOKS! WHAT!? Brooks was such a wet noodle with her and as far as the show let us see, she was as into Brooks as everyone else! If that is what Brooks felt as well, then OF COURSE he can’t feel that he truly loves Desiree! Chris (my Chris) chimed in that, “you don’t know someone until you’ve seen their emotions.”

Also, how deeply in love can you fall when the object of your affections is dating and making out with a bunch of other people? The media is so incredibly non-judgemental of the Bachelors and Bachelorettes-these all seem to be fine people but c’mon, I wouldn’t want anyone to see me making out with 7 different guys in an episode!

Look, I really do think Desiree is a truly nice person. She is darling and a wonderful actress. I also think when Brooks finally saw her break down and tell him she loved him, he was invited to see a part of her that is so crucial to a love-connection. Of course he was having reservations-he was dating a robot politician. Once we all got a sense of the pressure Desiree was under to “make the show go on” and that she had to hold her feelings back for the “game,” we ALL fell in love with her. I did.

Fear not, I just found this article on Perez Hilton: Bachelorette, Desiree Hartsock Is Engaged! So who was it?

Check out what Ali Fedotowsky (Bachelorette Season 6) said about Brooks in her article called, Is Brooks the Most Boring Frontrunner Ever?

So, do you think Desiree is the most incredible actress-EVER, or do you think that Brooks was really her ONE?

BTW-Drew is the sweetest Ken Doll I’ve ever seen. I hope he gets a little spin-off show or a Polo Sport modeling contract.

WHO is the next Bachelor???

It looked so bad but wasn’t sure if it was just cosmetic thing or something I should get checked out for my health.

I was avoiding it and “waiting until I had time” to deal with it as a mom of 4.

I finally made time and l’m so glad I did.

This was the start of my health journey at 45.

This makes our weekdays so much less chaotic, and I don’t feel like a scullery maid-I feel like I have a personal chef!

I get to focus my time and energy on connecting with the kids or taking a moment to rest. 

Throw these together really quickly this weekend for a smooth week. 

The mini meat loafies are a quick snack, packable lunch item or dinner main.

The turkey taco meat is so quick and you can make so many different dishes with it. 

PS it’s been a staple food in my health journey.

I like to cook my veggies day-of or have some washed and prepped in containers.

Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element to design your space and make it stand out?

A design element that just doesn’t make total sense but adds the zest to the room that just makes it?

But why is it so hard to figure out the exact thing that will make your space special?

You’re an emotional decorator! You’re someone who walks into a room and knows she loves it but can’t explain why.

I’m here to help!

Part II of Translating what we love about this space-Nancy Meyers edition!

This iconic kitchen from It’s Complicated, is so funny because Jane is in the works to finally renovate to get her DREAM KITCHEN and we would all love to have this one as it is right now!

Why? 

Notice that there are layers of detail from floor to ceiling and even ceiling!

If you want your home decor to feel cozy, there’s nothing like decorating every surface.

Keep it neutral if too much business overwhelms you.
When I spotted this window shelf in the movie, I thought it would be the perfect way to add some interest to our very boxy dining room-my pattern interrupt.

All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so amazing. I wondered what their secret was.

When was I going to bounce back like that?

Everyone was being vulnerable so when it was my turn I said, “I still can’t fit into my old jeans.”

One of the moms looked at me and said, “I just bought new jeans.”

I was shocked! She looked amazing!

I thought that if I bought jeans for my current “larger size” as in “not my ideal size,” it would mean I was settling for my current state that I didn’t want.

Then it hit me.

When you see yourself as worthy and do things that make you feel great-like new clothes that fit, your mind does something you’re not even aware of.

when your brain says, “I look cute” then you’re just going to continue to look better on a subconscious level. 

Why?

Your self image improves and when it does, you do things in alignment with a good self image like eating better or moving more or learning how to do your hair at its best!
