Conversation #71: Have you gone greek?

I don't mean in the sorority/fraternity sort of way. Even though my alma mater was big on that, I actually sat that out. It kind of intimidated me and I didn't really have the money to keep up with those fancy girls. Anyway, I digress.

What I'm actually talking about is yogurt. I know a lot of people have started trying the greek yogurt. My mom, for one, really loves it. I have been enjoying it for a while, but I change which kinds I like at different times. My favorite way to eat it is plain flavored with a little honey. Yum!

I go between brands, but when eating it one morning, I noticed on this particular carton it said: "Suggestion: Please do not stir." I don't know why that struck me as funny, but I used to always stir it up. Maybe that changes the texture and taste or something? I have no idea, but I quit stirring it and I think it does taste delicious.

Anyone else seen or heard this? Know the reason why? I mean I'm pretty certain nothing bad happens, but I do find it interesting. Here is my proof:

What are your favorite kinds of greek yogurt? How do you eat it?

Conversation #32: Kitchen Design Help!

Okay, I don’t really know that too many people read this blog since I moved to a new address, but I’m begging if you do, please help me. I am at a loss on what to do with part of my kitchen. Here is how I painted my kitchen 3 years ago: It was fun, bright, and I like it, but we decided it needed to be a bit more grown-up these days. I knew we would have to paint it before we moved so we decided to just go ahead and do it now for a change. We decided to go with a gray so that it would be neutral but not boring. However, the gray had a strong blue tone to it on the walls and now I need to phase out my turquoise decor I think. Here are some afters (still putting it back together): Some of these are the same shots but with/without flash to show the colors. I think I really like the new color, but the turquoise trim does not go anymore in my opinion. I’m trying to figure out what to do with it, and I need help!!! Please, give me ideas!!! I’m seri

Conversation #123: Open to Interpretation

First, I apologize for two posts today. The other one was supposed to post yesterday. I wrote it during lunch, but it didn't post properly. Oh well. So I started reading Kayla's blog during her last wardrobe challenge, and I loved it. I also loved when she and Amy and Erica started doing this series called Open to Interpretation. I have no idea why, but I never thought of taking an outfit I saw in a catalog or a magazine and then recreating it or something like it with what I already own. This has really helped me not only stretch my closet but also push me to try some new fashiony things (without going out to spend a ton of money). Here is the photo inspiration (I just copied it from Kayla's blog): And here is my interpretation: Outfit breakdown: Sweater - Old Navy, $8 Striped Shirt - LOFT (from the event last week), $20 Pink pants - JCPenney, Juniors section (don't tell Stacey and Clinton), $10 Leather Oxfords - J.Jill, $30 Mine is pretty close to j

Conversation #34: Fall Fashion Part 1

I am soooooooooooo ready for Fall. Isn’t everyone? I have actually been picking up a few Fall pieces over the last few weeks that I have found on sale already, and I’ll be sharing my frugal finds soon. I have also been drooling over new arrivals from some of my favorite stores so I’m going to share a few over the next few days. Today, I’m sharing my favorite picks from Lands End Canvas and Lands End . I have actually already bough the dress in the lower left! I was trying to hold out until it went on sale, but it was already selling out in my preferred color and size so I’m hoping it isn’t too big. I just know I will get a ton of wear out of it. Doesn’t it just look cozy? I ordered it in gray. I love a classic trench, and wingtips are all around! I have a red trench that I love, but it fits a little weird so I might replace it. Also, I already shared my version of wingtips I'll be sporting this season, but I think these are a grea
