Well, Hello There

Oh Haiiiiiii, Thirsty Thursday is upon us! Who am I kidding, I rarely crack any bevs open any day of the week aside from the weekends, but you can't blame me for trying to be cool... Hello friends! It's been a while, I hope you are having a magical August thus far! Today I want to talk about something a bit random, that isn't something everyone would consider exciting, but hey, it pumps me up so let me tell you about my new little friend, TOMS deodorant!  Yup, that's right I am actually taking the time to sit down and write a post about deodorant, why? Simply because this stuff is awesome. I had read several articles in the past about regular store brand deodorant being pumped full of aluminum, clogging your pores, and using evil chemicals to stop your sweat and stench in it's track. Like most common folk I thought, "Hey, this sounds fine and dandy, but is this stuff really as magical as they make it seem? Could it be true something so natur...

Sleepy Saturday. I cannot seem to keep my eyes open today, my attempts to stay hydrated with high quality H2o as my fuel this lovely Saturday morning are proving to be unsuccessful.  None the less, happy weekend to you! I hope it's filled with fun times and adventure. I am hitting up the grand state of Illinois this weekend, let's hear it for the FIBS. Just kidding... or am I. All joking aside in just a few moments I will be voyaging south and visiting some lovely places, first up on the agenda we have the Caterpillar Museum, where my boyfriend will boast the joys of mining and educate me on the lovely company that is CAT. Followed up with a trip to the IL State Fair to see Fall Out Boy!! The inner high school fangirl in me is geeking out hardcore at the moment. I was one of the emo kids in high school with posters of Pete Wentz adorning my walls complete with his glorious "guy liner" as the lovely term was coined. So that should be pretty awesome, I'll be sur...

Oh hey August! When did you get here, nice of you to drop by so soon!  Wow, August is here already this summer has been rolling by, with lots of good memories and amazing weather to accompany them! That being said, I cannot believe we are already in August. Nooooooo Summer come back! I can feel you slipping through my fingers and I'm not ready for you to leave just yet! The approaching time of the year in Wisconsin stirs up some weird emotions in me, because obviously like any typical "Basic" white girl... (I hate that term) I LOVE fall. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVEEEE Fall. Leaves crunching, pumpkin pie, cozy sweaters, football season, and most importantly Halloween! You're alright Fall, but you still bring Winter, which I am not ok with, but hey I guess it was never up to me.  I've been milking this Summer the best I can, and if you know anything about Wisconsin, you know we sure love our Summer festivals!  Last weekend we took a bus trip sponsored by ...

I LOVE INK MASTER. I don't follow reality TV much but oh my sweet lanta, I LOVEEEE Ink Masters. I am shamelessly addicted and I wouldn't have it any other way. Bring on the panel of judges! Let me start off by saying this, Oliver Peck is a B.A dude. That flowing mane of glorious luscious hair, seriously man, it's so perfect, what's your secret? Then there is Dave Navarro who is basically a hardcore, living, breathing version of Jafar from Aladdin, minus being a huge butt hole trying to score with Princess Jasmine. I keed, I keed, Dave seems super cool, he's always the voice of reason when things get heated and he seems like a gentleman! Lastly there is Chris Nunez who likes to keep it real by giving the artists a does of reality each week. Part of the reason this show is so addicting are the pieces these artists create, be that good or terribly, terribly bad. I have found myself on more than one occasion being like, "oh crap, that person is stuck with...

To quote the ever so fantastic Olan Rogers, "It's a Monday." Welcome to a new week friends! It's a Monday and that means anything crazy can go down! Question to the general public, how was your weekend? Me? Well how kind of you to ponder! I voyaged up to Kohler Andre state park for a last minute camping adventure! I didn't know too much about this park other than it's off the coast of Lake Michigan and that Kohler makes some dope bathtubs, another tidbit I was pumped to discover is neighboring town Sheboygan is the Brat Capitol of the World!!! Woah there, now that is not a title to be taken lightly! Delightful, delicious sausages, I want to nom on you all... and I did. A plethora of brats graced my mouth this weekend, garlic, taco and cheddar cranberry, ERH MERH GERDDDD so happy. Over all I ate very well on this mini trip seeing as my Mom and Step-dad joined us one night and they are wayyyyy overly prepared when it comes to food, I'm talki...

Party Time!!!! Huzzahhh! Throw your hands in the air, it's my birthday week! No worries I'm not one of those people who forces everyone to celebrate their birthing for a whole week, or even worse someone who insists that it;'s "birthday month".... nah that ain't me. That being said however tomorrow is in fact my day of birth! July 23, not to brag or anything but I do happen to share a birthday with Daniel Radcliffe, which is a magical coincidence indeed, and pretty much verifies that I should be getting my Hogwarts acceptance letter any day now, never mind that I'm far beyond the age of 11. To all you astrology folks out there you know darn well that the boy wizard and I are what are referred to as Cancer-Leo cusps, in other words people who share the traits of two sun signs because they were born as the signs were transitioning from one to another. This can make for some interesting, big personalities, seeing that two signs often have VERY ...

Howdy! As someone who often lusts over the thought of moving and starting the next big adventure in a mysterious new setting, there are some things I do love about "The Good Land" that is Milwaukee. It has become known to me recently that I may not be as big of a city slicker as I once thought I was, and that's ok! Not to mention I'm getting a little sick of that nasty "Winter" who keeps showing up and won't leave me alone for 5-6 months every year ( Nobody likes you, go away!!). However, I will say moving to Milwaukee has given me more Wisconsin pride than ever and here are some reasons why.... German Heritage: Milwaukee is loaded with some awesome odes to German Heritage. Ranging from the various beer gardens to Oktoberfest celebrations where you can sip Hefeweizen  from a stein and party with the polka band to your hearts content. Along with a good party comes those inevitable munchies, no worries they've got your back, how does a brat paired...
