No Concert Cutie OOTD Bloopers

No Concert Cutie OOTD Bloopers

Oh hey and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my No Concert Cutie OOTD. After the massive bust of not seeing Billy Idol for a Sunday concert, Johnny and I have definitely learned our lesson: That we can no longer hang and work night concerts are a thousand percent getting bypassed lol. Is this what adulting is? Making smart decisions to be on point for work the next day? If so, then I think Johnny and I are officially all grown up! Although it was very disappointing to not go to the show, it still ended up being a funny story anyways and I don’t think anyone was surprised that we just stayed home! Based on these yikes shots, it was a solid choice:

I’m a ghost!!! Boooooooooo!

Lol looking like I did just see a ghost!! Also why are these all so blurry smh

Holding on to this pose for dear life

Karate chopping with the swiftness

Looking so pleased with myself like I was a kid who just cleaned their room really well

The evil spirits were about to take me!!!!

I consider myself to be very outgoing and Johnny is too. The thing about us, though, is that we are outgoing while still maintaining a strict schedule and Billy Idol simply couldn’t be penciled in! Johnny is, without a doubt, the more spontaneous one because he can make on the fly adjustments. Myself, on the other hand, needs everything set in stone at least two weeks in advance! What can I say, my schedule is god and I refuse to stray from it. I hate surprises and knowing what’s planned ahead eliminates that uncertainty. In hindsight, that’s probably why I always ask Johnny to give me birthday and Christmas presents a month before the actual date!

I can feel my anxiety creeping up simply by writing about schedule changes but there is a method to my madness. I have been self employed for my entire adult life and there is no one but me to make sure that my days always go accordingly to plan. When I first began my work as an Independent Provider, I dived right in and by the time my first year was completed I had seven clients. Meaning I had seven people to divide twice weekly visits with, account for travel time between each location, and keep my days running like a fine tuned machine. It was a lot but very rewarding and instilled the importance of a well maintained schedule. Maybe too much lol! Although my caseload is way lighter now, my diligence remains the same and even if Johnny and I can’t hang like we used to, it’s all good. We’ll just stick to Friday and Saturday concerts from now on!

I am pleased to report that I am right on schedule after writing this post. 😀 Have a fabulous day one and all!!

How do you feel about last minute changes? What makes you anxious? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

New Hair, New Me OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my New Hair, New Me OOTD! I have been having so much fun with my brand new hair and it has been the biggest confidence boost. This new look is giving David Bowie, Joan Jett, and all things retro and cool and my stylist, Anna, created exactly what I was picturing in my head. Not only is Anna a genius but I think she might be a mind reader too because it is a spot on replica! My new do definitely has me feeling my damn self but these yikes shots are so not matching the vibe lol take a look:

I AM SO BEAUTIFUL

The hair is David Bowie but the pic is just Dave at best

Lol look how edgy I am

Pop, lock, and drop it

A sultry little something just for you

Bye byeeeeeeee see you at the next Blooper Reel!

It’s hard not to notice the massive crack in the wall in these pics and all I have to say is thank god for clean up on the iPhone! I fix it up for actual OOTD shots and couldn’t care less for the Blooper Reel. It’s not exactly prime real estate but, in my defense, there is literally nowhere else to go in our apartment community. Renovations have been underway for what has felt like forever and it is really killing my OOTD flow. My old spot for pics is a cluttered mess and the worst of all is that all of the greenery surrounding our building has been uprooted. I am not exaggerating when I say that it looks like a wasteland and it is SHAMEFUL.

Although the renovations have proven to be a massive pain in my nads, there has been some good that has come out of them. Primarily in the critter department! Guys, I kid you not that there was like a million raccoons in the walls before whatever entry points were sealed off. That was an exaggeration but there was a lot of raccoon activity and it was so crazy to hear lol. The scratching, chittering, and fighting would go on all hours of the day and it was never not startling. There was one time when I was sitting in my favorite chair and raccoons were going at it in the ceiling directly overhead. I was genuinely terrified that they would fall through and land on my lap! So in conclusion, there is nothing pretty around my apartment anymore but at least we are racoon free lol. -_-

Here’s to my apartment building eventually looking better because I am SO sick of editing out the wall crack!!

What was your first house or apartment like? Have you ever experienced a pest problem? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Almost Autumn OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Almost Autumn OOTD! It’s safe to say that September has been a bit of a doozy and these yikes shots definitely match the vibe lol. Between getting a new car, prepping for my trip to Italy, and squeezing ALL of the hours in at work to make up for these purchases, it has been exhausting but exciting: I’m stoked about my Mini Cooper, I am thrilled to finally travel abroad, and I love my jobs which still makes extra shifts a joy. And, of course, creating content is always fun even with results that look like this:

The face I made when I got the price of the Little Red Love Machine’s last massive repair

Just riding the waves, man

Asking for the pretty face discount at the car dealership lol

Poise, grace, elegance

Aw shucks!!!!!!!

Lil Red OUT!!!!!

Prior to purchasing the Little Red Love Machine way back in 2014, I truly never understood how people could be obsessed with their car. Like, it’s just a car lol. However, I ate my words as soon as I got behind the wheel and drove my baby home from the dealership. I worked retail a loooooong time to buy the LRLM and I can still remember that feeling of pride on the fateful first drive home during a January snow storm. There is no other way to describe it other than it felt good. I worked my buns off for the LRLM, I bought it, and I now had this adorable new whip to drive to Taco Bell in. I have so many amazing memories with the LRLM and the purchase of my Mini Cooper, Junior, really is bittersweet.

Don’t get me wrong, I am over the moon about my new used car. I am also overjoyed that the Little Red Love Machine will be driven by Johnny. It’s just going to take a while to get used to because the LRLM was my girl!! It’s such a 180 to feel nothing about a vehicle to feeling genuinely heartbroken about our literal end of the road. Although parting is the sweetest sorrow, the LRLM is not gone yet and will remain forever in my heart. Junior has some big shoes to fill but I can’t wait to share my sassy Mini with all of you. Stay tuned!!

This was my Little Red Love Machine lament and I appreciate all of you being with me during this difficult transition. I might be over exaggerating a smidge but the sentiments are VERY real!!!

What was your first car? Does your car have a name? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Groban Gal OOTD Bloopers

Groban Gal OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Groban Gal OOTD! Seeing Josh Groban’s Stage, Screen, And Symphony concert was, indeed, the highlight of mine and Johnny’s summer and we have been singing our praises for the experience regularly ever since. It’s hard not to live in the past when we got upgraded to the best seats in the house for free – right in front of the stage!! Josh Groban was simply miraculous from start to finish. These pics? Not so much! Let’s take a lookieloo:

I’m a star, baby!

Just dipping a toe in to test the grass…

And almost did a nose dive!!!

Just pretend you didn’t see that!

Sassy lady!!!!

Just airing my armpits out

Off to see The Grobes, byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The desire for seeing Josh Groban in concert all stemmed from a one minute video from Tim And Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job called “Groban Sings Casey”. In this video, Josh Groban sings a compilation of songs in his classic style including hits like Choo Choo Train (I Want To Ride), Hamburgers And Hotdogs, and Time Travel. It is ridiculous, hilarious, and opened our eyes to the glory of The Grobes. So, when we saw he would be on Blossom Music Center’s summer concert lineup, those tickets were as good as ours.

In our ideal concert fantasy, we were going to yell “play Hamburgers And Hotdogs”, Josh Groban would hear us, and perform it with the Akron Symphony Orchestra. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. However, as we made chit chat while waiting for the concert to start, we met someone whose husband was singing in the choir that took the stage with The Grobester. He ended up coming by to join the conversation before he had to be backstage and we told him about Groban Sings Casey and it turns out he was already hip! In fact, one of the other members of the choir was going to bring it up to The Grobeman but got sidetracked and they talked about goats instead. I like to think that the fire that burns in mine and Johnny’s hearts for Groban Sings Casey burns the same for The Josh, though!! ❤

Best concert ever? Best concert ever. Thank you to Blossom, J-Grobes, and the Akron Symphony Orchestra for the most amazing time!!

What is your favorite Josh Groban song? Are you aware of the life changing properties of Groban Sings Casey? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Pajama Party OOTD Bloopers

Pajama Party OOTD Bloopers

Hello hello and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Pajama Party OOTD! These pajamas were fresh from the Halloween collection drop at 5 Below and I have basically been living in them – they are the comfiest PJs in the world! And did I mention cute?! The costumed bears and little ghost patterns had me swooning from adorable. There is nothing better to me than when I can put my lounge clothes on after a work day or just stay in them all weekend long. My happy time has been made even better with these sweetly spooky PJs. These pics could use some improvement, though! Take a look:

An in between face of either dropping some truth or something STANK

Lol took a little stumble which Gengar seems to LOVE

My plus one and I are ready to partay!!!

Seriously, who doesn’t love squeezing a squishmallow?!

I am the strongest woman alive!!!!!!!!!

What do you like eating better – crayons or candy corn? They both taste the same!

When it comes to flavors, I am a savory girl and rarely eat sweets. I enjoy ice cream and chocolate from time to time but that’s about it. I hate the texture of cake and frosting, I only eat cookies if they’re fresh out of the oven, and most chewy candy has gelatin in it which I refuse to eat. A sweet tooth I have not but to the people that do – there are some candies that I have serious questions about lol. Let’s start with candy corn – is it tasty to eat candle wax? I think I only tried it once in my youth and am still scarred from eating the equivalent of a crayon. There is no denying that candy corn is uber cute but is it actually good? I need to know!!

Another few candies on my list include Necco Wafers and those weird wax things that look like a bottle of soda. I can remember getting them in the very early years of going trick or treating and they were always a hard pass! Necco Wafers taste like chalk and you already know my stance on wax from our discussion on candy corn lol. Although I am not a candy girl, I do marvel at how much candy has improved since then. Because I’ll tell you what, some of these classic old school candies are just not it and I genuinely want to know who is still eating them!

My candy corn plushie is all the candy corn I need and was a terrific Pajama Party guest!

Do you have a sweet tooth? What is your favorite and least favorite candy? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Terrific T OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Terrific T OOTD! Wearing jeans and a T-shirt is my standard throughout the work week. However, T’s rarely have a place in my weekend OOTDs as I love to get dressed to the nines. This outfit was an exception, though, because I just couldn’t wait to wear my Twilight “I ❤ Hot Dads” T-shirt from Hot Topic! It’s never not going to be funny to me and, honestly, it somehow felt so appropriate to the lunch date with Johnny I wore it to because it was the most subpar meal we have ever had lol. And these pictures? Rank even lower than subpar:

I’m *almost* ready for my closeup

Probs singing some Repo! The Genetic Opera (IYKYK)

Beaming with pride over my purchase

Finding my center of gravity as I often lose it after popping my foot lol

I LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously there are no good barbecue restaurants in Ohio but there is Jimmy’s Backyard BBQ which has somehow stayed open for years. Johnny and I drive by it several times per week and always have to take note of a beloved Cuyahoga Falls mascot: Their giant Sasquatch statue that watches over the premises. It once got stolen a few years back and finally got replaced to everyone’s delight! Out of nowhere a few days before our lunch date, Johnny suggested we try it. Although I am a vegetarian, I go hard on BBQ side dishes and sheer curiosity got the best of us so we locked it in the calendar.

After dressing for success and taking pictures, we made our way to Jimmy’s with stomachs rumbling. We were served quickly and couldn’t wait to dig in. And that first bite? Lackluster at best! Believe you me, Johnny and I weren’t expecting blow your mind BBQ but we weren’t expecting that. The meat was dry, my mac n cheese was watery, and the most noteworthy thing we had were the hush puppies. Credit where it’s due: They were bomb AF. Needless to say, we would never go to Jimmy’s again. BUT it’s always nice to support local, it made for a fun story, and we got to get up close and personal with Sasquatch. This situation was still a massive win and that’s saying a lot considering I take my mac n cheese very seriously!

Although our meal was disappointing, the company couldn’t be beat. Johnny and I can always make a good time out of anything!

What is your favorite local restaurant? Is there a restaurant you visited that didn’t live up to the hype? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Unique Unicorn OOTD Bloopers

Howdy y’all and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Unique Unicorn OOTD! This little look was worn to celebrate my darling middle niece’s birthday and it was such fun. The birthday girl had the best day – so much so that she has been asking when it can be her birthday again lol. We’ve got a ways to go for that, kid! My sister put together such a delightful party and even hired a face painter for the festivities. Although the kids had a blast with it, I daresay that I enjoyed it the most. How often does an adult get the opportunity to get unicorn style face paint?! The answer is: Not often enough. The face painter really did do a bang up job but these pictures do not do her work justice! Let’s take a looksee:

I call this pose “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Unicorn”

Lol me in basically every school picture ever taken

CLEARLY was feeling myself after getting some paint thrown on the old barn

Johnny really knows how to capture a beautiful photo

This Squidward looking face lol

Johnny and I recently hosted our two big nieces for a slumber party before they go back to school and it was a hoot. We did lots of crafts, ordered pizza, and watched Toy Story 4. And, as per slumber party tradition, we had ice cream sundaes for dessert! Normally when I am with the girl squad, I am constantly picking them up, swinging them around, or giving piggy back rides. This time, however, was different as I can’t lift more than ten pounds post surgery. The girls understood and were SO attentive to their TT and it really warmed my heart. ❤

When I got up to start sundae prep, my middle niece stopped me to ask if I could still carry ice cream lol. Blessedly, I could still swing that! The following day when my sister picked them up, I started to carry some of their belongings down to the car. I wasn’t thinking about my post op instructions whatsoever but my biggest niece was. She stopped me in my tracks and said “TT you can’t carry that!”. She remembered what I had completely forgotten as I am forever a DIY kind of gal. Both of their concern was so sweet and it was one of the best slumber parties ever!

This little story is a firm reminder to myself to not carry heavy things lol. Shout out to my bestie girls for having my back!

Are your kids ready for back to school? What is your favorite animated movie? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Fetching In Flowers OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Fetching In Flowers OOTD! This lil look was worn to celebrate my lil BFF on her engagement and the most fabulous time was had by all. And the good times are just going to keep rolling because it’s wedding planning time, baby! I am elated to help my best girl in any way she needs for her big day and I honestly can’t wait for her big day to get here because Johnny and I simply come alive at a wedding. The last one we will have attended prior to bestie’s was in May of this year so it will be a long time coming. Bring it on!! And bring on these yikes shots too for good measure:

Me asking for a to go box at a restaurant

When someone says the funniest thing you have ever heard

Well hello to YOU!

I didn’t choose the model life, it chose me

Such a beautiful action shot captured by my blog husband! Whoopsy daisy!

Going to the bathroom at night with your eyes shut so you don’t lose the tired

I haven’t had a surgical procedure since I was twenty and there were some things that really stuck out twelve years later when I got my LEEP and tubal. For example, I was able to pop a Zanny basically as soon as I got into the room before my operation and that was a really nice touch lol. I wouldn’t say I was over the top nervous but I definitely had anxiety and I wasn’t not going to take a Xanax that a literal nurse offered to me! This was the best case “someone offers you drugs” scenario! I even got an Orange & Ginger scent clip attached to my gown to soothe any nausea and nerves that the Xanax didn’t tackle. But I’m pretty sure the pill did the trick all on its own. 😀

Speaking of gowns… Have y’all had a surgery lately because WHAT EVEN?! The paper gown that I had on had a flap that could be pulled up which revealed a spot where you could insert a tube. Obviously, I had to see what that was all about and these gowns attach to a heating/cooling device! My mind was blown! My nurse started it up for me and before I knew it, my gown was being inflated with warm air and I looked like the Marshmallow Man lol. The heat felt nice but it was mainly just funny to watch my gown blow up like that. Were any of these upgrades really necessary to my surgical experience? Not really but I sure enjoyed it!

Prior to my surgery (And after!), I got treated to all kinds of good stuff. I would say the Xanax took the cake but that inflatable gown act was truly something special!

What helps ease your anxiety? Which scent do you consider calming? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Spill The Tea OOTD! This little look was worn to attend a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at the library with my niece squad and we had the best time. The girls loved making all of the tea party food like finger sandwiches, fruit salad, fruit punch, and frosted cookies and created a spread fit for a celebration in Wonderland! As the extra aunt, I had to show out in fancy dress to attend the party and it was received very well. These pictures, however? Were not received very well by me as I went through the million shots that Johnny took! Best blog husband ever! Lol, check it out:

The belle of the ball

Looking good feeling GREAT!

Now you see me now you don’t

Strike a pose there’s nothing to it – VOGUE

A literal bee in my bonnet lol it thought the flower headband was real!

Who, me?

Stomping off to the partay

As a very heavily tattooed woman, I am very used to people staring and asking questions. And, of course, the absolute certainty to get a comment at the gas station as soon as hot weather hits and I break out shorts and a tank. It happens every year like clock work! This past week when I went to pick up my car from the shop, I ended up having the most delightful conversation with the woman who was in line behind me. She asked if she could take a closer look at my ink which I always appreciate and then we began gabbing about anime when she saw my Demon Slayer tats. As she perused my leg tattoos, I couldn’t help thinking of another instance of a tattoo looky loo that went in a completely different direction that lives rent free in my memory…

Several years back, my bestie and I visited a winery for one of our birthdays and were enjoying drinks on the deck overlooking the vineyard. Seemingly out of nowhere, a lady who had several glasses of the good stuff crept behind me, dropped down to leg level, and started scanning all of my work. My BFF and I had no idea she was there because we were facing the vineyard and this woman was operating on stealth level. You could imagine my surprise when I sensed her presence, turned around, and caught her gawking lol. It was a horror movie level scare!! The moral of this story? Always ask before getting up close and personal with a tattooed person. Chances are high they won’t mind at all and you won’t end up scaring them half to death. Big ups to my repair shop companion for knowing the etiquette! 😀

Tea parties, tattoo peek a boo, and a broken down car – oh my! What will happen next in Lil Red’s crazy world? Keep it posted here to find out!

Have you gotten a new body mod recently? What did you get? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Safari Chic OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Safari Chic OOTD! This little look was worn to go see The Lion King at Playhouse Square and it was the most magical time. Mine and Johnny’s theater adventure for the month of July is not over yet as we are chomping at the bit to see the original cast recording of Hadestown at the Cinemark next weekend. It is our absolute favorite and, although we both think the cast we saw at Playhouse was even better than the original cast, we are really looking forward to our date night! I’m not sure what I’m going to wear yet, but I am sure that there will be beaucoup bloopers during our OOTD shoot like these:

Just out here having a laugh by the massive paint crack in the wall #homesweethome

Me on school picture day

Casting a spell on the haters – Bibbidy, bobbidy, BYE!

In a wide stance in these wide pants

I am SO beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Napping until the next blog post, see ya!

When you’re at a theater, the golden rule is sit back, be quiet, and enjoy the show. And, for the most part, that is exactly what happened when my entire family (including four littles) went to The Lion King. Then, shortly after intermission, one of our nieces got a little bit fidgety. She’s not even four yet so it’s to be expected and she really did do great. In fact, she did perfect because the two things she said during the final half of the show were hilarious and Johnny and I had to literally squeeze each other’s hands to not burst out laughing…

About five minutes after intermission, our niece proclaimed to god and everyone that she wants a popsicle and, honestly, what a vibe. Who doesn’t enjoy a cold summer treat?! Johnny and I were busting a gut because out of everything in the world to say in a quiet theater, that’s what she landed upon. After being assured that popsicles could be had after the show, all was quiet until the second to last number of The Lion King. The audience clapped and cheered and when the ruckus died down, our niece asked god and everyone if the show was almost over yet. LOL she was SO close to the end but couldn’t quite make it, bless her heart! There were plenty of moments of laughter throughout The Lion King but these ones definitely took the cake!

We laughed, we almost cried from laughter, and we sure had FUN at The Lion King. It was so special to go with my whole family and I will never forget it!

Have your children said anything hilarious recently? Do they do well seeing plays or movies? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
