Brunch Babe OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Brunch Babe OOTD! There is nothing better than wearing new clothes and I was so excited to bust out my new top featured in this look by Caroline Constas. It was the ultimate Brunch Babe, farmers market fierce little number I needed for a late morning trip to First Watch! Before I could ever so carefully dig into brunch to avoid a spill on my new duds, pictures were in order. Take a peek at these yikes pics and let’s discuss an instance that simply delighted me this past week:

Apparently REALLY deep in thought or sleep

Hanging on for dear life

The queen of brunch making an appearance

Hanger may or may not have been setting in

Flipping the hair to shake off any negativity

When I was little, I prided myself on being the best “finder” lol. Someone in my family was always losing something and I was excellent at finding where the misplaced item was. In my old age, however, I fear I may be losing my touch. My eldest niece decided to put together a scavenger hunt with Bluey toys for her little sister at chez grandparents. Lil sis ended up finding almost all of them, but big sis forgot where she put two of the toys (lol) and my parents asked if I would look for them. I searched high and low for the members of the Bluey gang for what felt like forever and, sadly, had no luck. Luckily, I manifested finding something else instead…

For Christmas, I got my mom a gift card to Elysian Nails. Fast forward a few months later when she was ready to cash in her manicure and we couldn’t find the gift card anywhere. Like the Bluey toys, I looked everywhere and ended up convinced it might have been thrown out on accident. When I was on my own scavenger hunt for Bluey’s friends, I thought about how awesome it would be to find the gift card too. A minute or two later, I took off the lid of a decorative pot in the kitchen and gasped at its contents. The Elysian Nails gift card was sitting three feet from my usual spot at the kitchen table this entire time! It was a Christmas in July miracle but I am not hanging up my detective’s cap yet. I will not rest until the remainder of the Bluey toys are returned back to my nieces!

It took seven months to find the missing gift card so maybe in seven months the Bluey toys turn up? Either way, I am on the case!

Have you found anything that has been missing for a while? Where was it? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Country Cutie OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Country Cutie OOTD! This look was worn to Outlaw Fest to see Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson at Blossom Music Center. Honestly, the whole night was a blooper reel in itself and Johnny and I are still laughing about the antics we got into. I haven’t had a night that wild since the after party at our wedding lol. The bloopers didn’t begin at the concert but during the photo shoot beforehand so take a look at some yikes pics that really helped set the tone for the festivities:

Tinkerbell just hanging out on my nose

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

Getting ready to practice my hoedown

So sick of constantly wiping away upper lip sweat SMH

This hoe was almost down lolol

A measurement of how lit I got at the concert

As you can imagine, Johnny and I were definitely feeling the hangover blues the day after the concert. Luckily for us, we have concocted the perfect cure – AKA: A Day of Lay. Lay days are exactly what they sound like: Staying in bed, watching TV, and moving as little as possible lol. And, luckily for us, we have discovered a new “warm blanket” show (Johnny’s definition of a comfort show) to enjoy. A few weeks ago, we started watching Fresh Off The Boat and have been plowing through it at a speed of light pace. It is absolutely hilarious!

Fresh Off The Boat is based off of a book of the same name by Eddie Huang (I can’t wait to read it!). Eddie’s family is Chinese American and the book and show documents their move from Washington D.C. to Orlando, Florida to open a steakhouse in the nineties and get their own slice of the American Dream. The Huang family is comprised of proud parents, Louis and Jessica and their three boys named Eddie, Emery, and Evan. Louis’s mom, Jenny, also lives with them. She speaks no English but lives for Garfield comics and cruising in her electric wheelchair. 😀

From start to finish, every single episode has Johnny and me in stitches. The Huang brothers are all cute as can be and the littlest, Evan, is our favorite. He is just a doll! We also revel in the pure “Louis and Jessica” of our own relationship. Johnny is a Louis for sure. He is spontaneous, silly, and always has a new big idea. I am one thousand percent Jessica and I own it – strategic, thinks in black and white, never backs down from a challenge, and tears it up in a game of Scrabble. Fresh Off The Boat is the most delightful mix of funny and downright heartwarming and when we aren’t in hysterics, we are going “aww” at how sweet it is lol. It was easy to forget how hungover we were during our marathon when we were laughing the entire time!

Our daily viewings of Fresh Off The Boat are something I really look forward to and it came through in the clutch the day after the concert. We finished a full season in one day! 😀

What is your favorite comfort show? How many times have you seen it? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

B-Day OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my B-Day OOTD! Johnny and I have been celebrating our birthaversary big time all month long and this lil look was worn to lunch at the Olive Garden with my family. It was the best gift! We still have beaucoup plans lined up in our roster and it is honestly kind of overwhelming lol. We went from never doing anything on the weekends to nonstop plans and I am exhausted! But, hey, the birthaversary is a monumental occasion so let the good times roll because when I can relax with a new season of my guilty pleasure show, it is going to be oh so sweet. 😀 Take a look at these yikes shots and let’s discuss:

Style, grace, poise

Your girl really knows how to stick the landing!

Perfecting my flamingo impression

Taking a minute to think about the Olive Garden. It’s never far from my mind!

When you think someone is waving at you but they weren’t

Preparing to speak some truth to Johnny

Straight up barrelling to my phone

Am I the only one who feels overwhelmed by streaming services? Lol, every single day there are a million brand new things. Some might be good, a majority is crap, and it is just a pain in the keister to figure out what to watch. I am one of those people that will spend a solid twenty minutes trying to find a show or documentary and then just end up turning on Superbad! For once, however, I know exactly what I am going to watch whenever I have time to spare. That’s right… A new season of America’s Sweethearts on Netflix just dropped and I am SO there for it! 😀

America’s Sweethearts is all about the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, the audition process, prepping for games, and all that good stuff. I remember when the first season came out vividly because I was sick and I watched it all in one day! I was hooked and you have no idea how happy I was for season two to be released – reality TV is my guilty pleasure and America’s Sweethearts serves on every level. Pretty ladies for your favorite bisexual, insane dancing, hardass coaches, drama, and sisterhood. What could be better?! Do I care about football? The hardest NO ever. Do I care deeply about the cheerleaders? You’re damn right! This new season is a bonus birthaversary gift and I cannot wait to revel in it. Go team!

A new season of a favorite show really is a treat and during my binge-a-thon of America’s Sweethearts, I plan on treating myself even more. I got a Taco Bell gift card for my birthday and am going to have a one person fiesta. Let those birthaversary good times roll on, baby!

What is one of your guilty pleasure shows? Have you watched America’s Sweethearts? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Birthday Partay OOTD Bloopers

Birthday Partay OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Birthday Partay OOTD! Johnny and I had a banner birthaversary week and the good times are going to keep rolling. We recently went to see AC/DC in Cleveland which was phenomenal and we have another concert on the horizon in the next few weeks: Outlaw Fest where Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan will be headlining! We had so many amazing concerts lined up during the pandemic that we had to forego and we are certainly making up for it this summer. Let’s take a look at some yikes shots and discuss a lil funny from my last nail appointment:

Oh mylanta am I looking GOOD

What invoked this reaction is unknown but I sure look thrilled

Always ready for my closeup

A sultry gaze just for you

I swear to high I’m not god

How to pose 101

Don’t mind me getting electrocuted

In my head, all of the adults who I interact with are my age. However, there are instances when it becomes glaringly obvious that that is, in fact, not accurate lol. Take my nail techs, for example. Both of my go to girls are at least five or six years younger than me and you could have knocked me over with a feather when I made that revelation. As per ushe, I forgot immediately until my last appointment when we were discussing summer concerts. I was telling my gals about mine and Johnny’s lineup and mentioned that we were seeing Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan in a few weeks. I kid you not both of them replied “who?” at the exact same time and my worldview was shattered.

As a forever young thirty-one year old, I kind of assumed that everyone knew of Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. A movie about the latter just came out this past year! I rarely feel old but, in that moment, I felt ancient! Honestly, this concert is more for Johnny. I love me some Willie but do not get down with Bob Dylan in the slightest. So, I just tried to explain them the best as I could to my techs. My response was “Willie Nelson is a super old country artist and Bob Dylan is just folksy BS” lol. Despite my excellent description, it still didn’t ring any bells!

It was seriously the cutest thing and humored me so much because I find myself asking the same questions when they tell me about the musicians they love or concerts they are going to. Hey, we all learn something new every appointment! It’s never not going to be fun or funny to try and describe artists to each other that we have no idea about. I get to teach them about what’s old and they get to teach me about what’s hip (Omg do I sound old lol). It’s a beautiful win/win scenario and I can’t wait to fill them in on my old timers concert at my next appointment! ❤

This new generation is A-okay in my book and no matter what your age is, you can always ALWAYS learn something new!

What is your summer concert lineup? Who is a beloved artist that you can’t stand? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Cute & Comfy OOTD Bloopers

Cute & Comfy OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Cute & Comfy OOTD. This was a simple little look that I put together to host a dinner party at chez moi this past weekend. And, based on the outfit, you can see that it was anything but a fancy get together lol. However, after saying that, I do think it would be hilarious to host a fancy dress dinner party in our two bedroom apartment. Ball gowns and Taco Bell, perhaps? It’s a work in progress! While I workshop this idea, took a look at some of these yikes shots:

Party people in TimberTop say heyyyyyyyy

I have no idea what Johnny just said but it was clearly a cause for concern

Me pretending to be relaxed and casual

Can’t see the haters if your hand is in front of your face

Creeping up to cause some mischief

I’M SEXYYYYYYYY

I have no idea what Johnny just said but clearly it was hilarious lol

One of my biggest guilty pleasures has got to be reality TV and I am especially partial to the Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives and Farmer Wants A Wife lol. Are these shows pure crap? Yes. Are they entertaining as all get out? Absolutely! Johnny and I started watching Farmer Wants A Wife as a joke and it turns out the joke was on us because we got incredibly into it. We devoured the first season, waited on pins and needles for season two, devoured that, and just completed season three this weekend. What can I say, we just can’t get enough of these farmers who want wives!

Normally, Johnny and I wait for entire seasons to air on TV before watching them at our leisure on streaming services. With season three of Farmer Wants A Wife, we were watching it on regularly scheduled time and it was honestly kind of fun. Don’t get me wrong, I love to binge watch with the best of them. However, Farmer Fridays became something we would look forward to and we would settle into watch it as soon as the work week was over. I love that Johnny and I watch Farmer Wants A Wife together because it’s funny to us and I am mourning the end of this last season. I literally cannot wait for new seasons of both of my favorite reality TV guilty pleasures and more Farmer Fridays with my main squeeze. 😀

Reality TV is such a laugh lol, it’s exactly what I need when I want something mindless and fun and don’t even get me started on ALL the drama!

What is your favorite reality show? What is your guilty pleasure show? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Black & White OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Black & White OOTD! And as a friendly reminder, you can view even more from this look on my TikTok @lilred6794 !! Hey, you just gotta work in a shameless plug sometimes. 😀 Today we are going to take a look at some of the yikes shots that most definitely didn’t make the first cut. While I had a plethora of winning photos to pick from from this shoot, the bloopers were aplenty as well. Allow me to dazzle you lol:

With the shape of an L on her forehead…

A brief moment to take stock of my life

Dripping SASS

I’M SEXY!!!!!!

No idea where this funky lighting came from!

My best “come hither” stare

Lmaoo ta daaaaa!

Getting my Mick Jagger on

This Black & White OOTD was worn to play mini golf at Fun n’ Stuff and their two courses are awesome. One is pirate themed and the other is dinosaurs and they are the perfect amount of fun and challenging. I absolutely love mini golfing but it is safe to say that I am… not the best. The same thing happens Every. Single. Time. we have a mini golf outing: I start out STRONG. Like shockingly good – we’re talking twos and threes across the board. And I’ll tell you what, I am feeling good and no one can tell me NOTHING.

Then, somewhere along the way, my downfall happens and it is swift…

I don’t know what it is lol – maybe it’s me getting too cocky or maybe it’s just beginner’s luck but about halfway through, it’s like I forgot where I even am! Twos and threes turn into can’t making a putt to save my own life and before I know it, I’m racking up sixes on every hole. Going from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows makes the whole process even more frustrating and there is just no coming back from that. I am pleased to report, however, that I didn’t come in dead last during this outing with Johnny, our bestie Cliff, and my brother but THIRD! I genuinely couldn’t believe it once the two courses were tallied up so, despite the mini golf skills all but disappearing, who’s the real winner here?! 😀

Part crazy annoying but always fun – who doesn’t love mini golf? I can’t wait to hit the greens again to defend my third place title!

Are there any mini golf courses in your neck of the woods? What are they like? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Garden Party OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Garden Party OOTD! Today we are going to take a look at the yikes shots that definitely didn’t make the first cut. In fact, this outfit didn’t even make the cut either because I changed into jeans and a hoodie immediately after these pictures were taken lol. This fit was worn prior to visiting Johnny’s parents for Easter and we both wanted to be comfy for the occasion. I’m so glad we did because I was in a full fledged food coma afterwards! Let’s get to it:

Always tryna crank that Soulja Boy

Who, me?

Looking like I’ve got a mouthful of lemon but STILL werking

Going any way the wind blows

Lol, what is even happening?

Which shows do you like to put on purely for fun? For me and Johnny, we enjoy watching and playing along to game shows. This isn’t a constant occurrence but it’s always a good time and gives us the chance to take a break from whatever true crime show we are binging. In fact, we recently swapped out Fear Thy Neighbor for The Floor because we weren’t aware that a new season just ended! The Floor is a game show that really humors us because it’s essentially just naming pictures. We call it “adult flashcards” lol. Regardless of the simple premise, we like that we truly can play along with the game, use minimal think work, and still get answers right.

It has been a while since the last season of The Floor and I honestly forgot how much fun it was to put it on after work. By the time we are settled and the TV is on, it is game time! Johnny and I took great pleasure in rooting on our favorites, laughing at all of the peanut gallery commentary, and witnessing the major upsets. And, of course, the thrill of yelling answers at the TV and crushing categories in our own right. We breezed through the entire season of The Floor and were genuinely sad when it was over. Thankfully, there is always Family Feud because The Floor inspired us to have a laugh after work, yell stuff at the TV, and see what sticks!

However Johnny and I spend our time after work is great, but those game show viewings just hit different! 😀

What is your favorite game show? Which game show would you like to compete on? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Going Green OOTD Bloopers

Going Green OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Going Green OOTD! This green with envy number was created to go see Peter Pan at Playhouse Square with my sister and nieces. The show was take it or leave it but I had the best time with my best girls and I was so happy to see everyone had green in mind when they picked me up. My sister had on a gorgeous forest green sweater and my eldest niece wore her Tinkerbell costume. So cute! Take a look at the yikes shots from this OOTD shoot as well as an intermission story that still cracks me up:

Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down

Trying to take a nice picture and my hair said “hold my beer” lol

Looking like the Hunchback of Notre Dame

Casting a spell on you to follow my TikTok @lilred6794 ! Did it work?

That face parents make on Christmas day when their kids open a gift they said no to

I’m ready for the big show…

If I make it there in one piece!

Story time!!!!

The intermission during Peter Pan couldn’t have come a moment too soon. My little niece was ready to get up and move and we were getting hungry. So, we made our way to the snack counter for soft pretzels and my traditional tiny bottle of champagne that I get every time I see a show at Playhouse Square. Everyone in the theater had this idea too so we got to the end of the line and stretched our legs as we waited patiently. While we chit chatted about the show, we noticed a crowd forming around people dressed as pirates and someone in a crocodile suit. I thought it was so fun that Playhouse Square had character actors come out and encouraged my sister to take the girls to see them while I held our place in line.

After a few minutes or so, my sister returned and said something that shook me to the core: This cosplay group was not hired by the theater but just came to the show dressed in full Peter Pan garb. All I could say was “Wait, what?” lol and I had to go investigate. So, my sister and the girls took up post in the concession line while I played detective. I approached this merry band of enthusiasts and they were so genuinely excited that I went up to them and wanted to know more. The crocodile suit person told me that not only do they have several pirates in their crew but a Peter and Wendy too. In fact, when they were led to their seats in the theater, the usher told them that they were going to be late for curtain call! Character actors they were not but, arguably one of the best parts of the theater experience, they sure were. 😀

I’m still very curious as to how the crocodile sat comfortably during the show but some mysteries are meant to stay that way. Their creativity and clearly excellent sense of humor made my day!

Have you cosplayed before? Do you have a favorite character you would love to dress up as? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Pop Of Pink OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Pop Of Pink OOTD! We have had April showers in abundance and all I have to say is – bring on those beautiful May flowers and dry ground lol. All I want to do is take a good hike in the woods without sinking into a quagmire and worrying about muddy shoes! Especially after this shoot because the mud runneth over after a downpour the day before. You can peep videos of this look too on my TikTok @lilred6794 so be sure to take a look! Now, let’s get to it:

TFYM when you’re standing in mud

Trying my best to not fall in said mud

Dawning on me that there is mud ALL over my shoes

Omw to get ALL the baby wipes to clean off said mud

Bye bye to these roots – check out my hair makeover soon!

Now, where was I? Oh yeah, MUD lol. As I was taking pictures in my mom and dad’s yard, I was pleased because I thought I found a relatively dry patch to work with. So, I began the song and dance of shooting with a tripod. Set the timer, run to my place, WERK my ass off, run back to the tripod, evaluate the picture, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat. In my head, everything was going swell until I got a better look at my shoes in the pictures. They were totally and completely caked in mud and because of the Barbie pink of the platforms, it was totally and completely obvious.

When I tell you I ran to break out some baby wipes, I mean I sprinted. I told my mom “I need baby wipes STAT” as if this were a medical drama, sat my sorry behind down, and began the dirty job of getting my beloved platforms clean. As I scrubbed, I prayed to the fashion gods to protect my platforms and I am blessed to report that my prayers were answered. By the time I was done, my shoes were back to their former glory, and I decided that that was a wrap. You can’t tempt fate a second time because I guess the “relatively dry patch” I was so happy with straight up wasn’t lol.

Who knew an OOTD shoot could be so messy?! I have learned my lesson and will be sticking to solid ground until storm season is over – my shoes depend on it!

What is spring weather like where you live? What is your favorite spring flower? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Dress + Pants OOTD Bloopers

Dress + Pants OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Dress + Pants OOTD! This look allowed me to use a relatively see through dress that I absolutely love but genuinely had no idea what to do with. It turns out all I needed was pants to show off the dress and create an OOTD that is so perfectly chic for spring. As you know, I have been making an effort to shoot outfits with my tripod and it has been going pretty good! You wouldn’t know it judging by my RBF in all of these blooper shots, though lol. Check it out:

Is this thing on?

Listen, that sun was a killer when I was taking pictures. I truly believed I was smiling!!

TFYM when you don’t want to talk to anyone

Just standing here sweating and doing the best I can

I swear my hair has a mind of its own – forever doing the flips every OOTD shoot!

Lol – Sarah, say cheese!

The sunshine struggle is so real for a vampire

Despite it not looking that way in the slightest, I had so much fun shooting this fit in the great outdoors. And, it just so happens that I got a dose of the great outdoors inside that day too. After my picture party, I went into chez parents and the WiFi didn’t instantly connect on my phone like usual. I went to the basement to investigate the internet box or whatever it’s called and while my back was turned, I heard some scuttling. I turned around, saw a chipmunk running around, promptly had a heart attack, RAN upstairs, and called my mom lol. Of course, a chipmunk isn’t scary but it was quite surprising for one to be in the basement!

After my heart rate returned to normal, I found myself to be very curious as to how the chipmunk got inside in the first place as well as what it was doing while I was upstairs. So, I put on my big girl pants and went back into the basement to become friends with our uninvited guest. It turns out that the chipmunk was settling into its new digs very nicely because that little thing was running here, there, and everywhere. In fact, it ran on top of my brother’s drum set so I like to think the chipmunk was musically inclined.

I visited the basement several times that day and, eventually, the chipmunk was nowhere to be found. Since we had no idea how it even got inside, my dad got a humane trap from Lowe’s so we could release it outdoors. And, for the next three or so days, the basement was quiet and the trap was empty. The chipmunk must have went back out the way it came in and I am so glad the little critter figured it out. Not to say it wouldn’t have been nice to keep it as a pet. 🙂 (I kid, I kid!!)

Wherever my chipmunk friend is now, I hope it is safe and healthy. And, if it ever wants to come back and visit, it will know exactly what to do!

What is your favorite outdoor critter? Have you ever had a critter in your home? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
