Go Sports!

Hello!! This past weekend, Ohio’s own Cleveland Browns made it to the playoffs only to get annihilated in typical Browns fashion. Johnny and I have absolutely no interest in watching sports whatsoever, but our bestie Cliff does. So, we were going to hang out at our place, watch the game, and play some board games together. To get into the football spirit, Johnny and I decided to make our very own Cleveland Browns shirts… Well… Sort of lol. I personally think we came up with something infinitely better! Check it out:

image_67220737image_67200513(2)image_67207425(3)image_67213825image_67222785(2)image_67199745(2)

Our “Sport?” T-shirts came directly from mine and Johnny’s silly imagination and I am obsessed with them. We both thought it would be funny if we got Browns gear to wear while we watched the game, but it seemed way funnier if we just made our own. So, Johnny went to Walmart and got plain white V-necks and a fabric marker so we could get our Project Runway on. The shirts turned out terribly, as we 100% expected, and that is exactly what we wanted.

Johnny and I know tons of sports lovers, but it is something that both him and I will never appreciate as much as them. In fact, I don’t think we could name one rule of football! However, now that we know we are excellent T-shirt makers, maybe we will be a bit more excited about Ohio sports. In fact, when I posted the Ts we made on social media, several people commented that they want a “Sport?” shirt too. Lol maybe we can all band together to form a club about sports for people who know nothing about them. It could be fun! 😀

I am very proud of how our shirts turned out and I most definitely plan on wearing it out in public. Hopefully, people will find them as funny as Johnny and I do!

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

All Better OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my All Better OOTD! I spent the majority of my holiday break being sick AF and only started rallying over the weekend. This couldn’t have come a moment too soon because my family celebrated Christmas late when the whole crew could be there. On Friday, we enjoyed a wonderful family meal at Hibachi Japan and I was stoked! It is one of my favorite restaurants in my neck of the woods and also the last time Johnny and I went I dropped my leftovers all over the stairs leading up to our apartment. SMH! Anyways, let’s get to these bloopers:

image_50735617(4)

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

image_50750977(2)image_50738433(9)

I had grand plans for my holiday break. Sure, I was going to rest and spend some time reading and watching my favorite shows. In between the R&R, I had dates for outings with friends and family and a few shifts that I didn’t feel like missing. That all went up in shambles and it turns out that I would be spending my break in its entirety recuperating and watching endless episodes of My 600 Lb. Life. It was a massive bummer but, on the bright side, I really love watching My 600 Lb. Life so I guess it wasn’t all bad? lol

Come this past Tuesday, I was honestly so ready to go back to work. I’m sure many of you didn’t want your holiday break to end on account of all of the fun you were having. Myself, on the other hand, was willing every day to go by quicker because it would be one less day of being sick! Returning to the grind after a solid week of vegging out wasn’t ideal, but I couldn’t wait for the change to my routine – especially considering I could breathe out of my nose again. All I know is that I am taking a whole week off for my birthday in June to make up for this dud of a break. Start crossing your fingers now that I don’t get sick for that too!

It’s never fun feeling under the weather, but it is even worse when it’s over the holidays. I am SO happy to be back on my bullshit and not sounding like Napoleon Dynamite anymore. Bring it on, 2024!

What are your tried and true remedies for a cold? When was the last time you got sick? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Merry & Bright OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Merry & Bright OOTD! This past weekend, Johnny and I took some charming couples shots and OOTD pics of us rocking a sweater from the Misny Merch holiday collection. Working with Tim Misny is, easily, the coolest thing that my blog has ever done for me other than meeting all of my amazing blogging besties. He is an absolute hoot and it is such fun to create content with him! Unfortunately, Tim wasn’t with us when Johnny and I took pics, but we did have the next best thing: A Tim Misny pillow and a whole lot of bloopers. Check it out:

Not much else to do but get my phone and give up. Maybe next OOTD I can get that foot poppin!

image_50752001

I have often been asked since I started to work with Tim Misny how it even happened in the first place. To better explain, let me create a timeline for you…

May: Tim announced the launch of Misny Merch along with a contest to snap a pic rocking your purchase for a chance to meet him at Misnyland. I told my dad about it and he bought me some swag for my birthday.

A Few Days Later: I shot this OOTD and entered the contest. I later learned that I won!!

November: The Misnyland party got pushed back from a summer BBQ to a fall celebration. Johnny and I went together and nearing the end of the party, I asked Tim if he had time for a quick interview. This “quick” Q & A turned into a half hour long conversation and we only ended our gab sesh because he had to bid farewell to the party guests. We did, however, exchange our contact info with the promise of working together again.

Here & Now: Since the party, Tim and I have been in frequent contact and ended up shooting a holiday video to show off the Misny Merch. You can peep the video on my Facebook page (Sarah Mushenheim) or his (Tim Misny). We have grand plans for all of the content including creating a podcast together, tons of videos, and lots of photo shoots!

This newfound friendship with Tim has been a whirlwind and Johnny and I enjoy our time with him so very much. All I can say is, if you ever have an opportunity put in front of you: Go for it! I was SO nervous to ask Tim for a chat at the party, but I did and everything is coming up Misny and lifewithlilred. I can’t wait to see what we come up with next!

What opportunities has your blog given you? What is something that you were nervous about but did anyways? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

PS: Remember that all proceeds from a Misny Merch purchase goes towards supporting the Cleveland City Mission!

Medieval Times OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Medieval Times OOTD!! I so enjoyed visiting The Green Dragon Inn board game bar this past weekend and am already itching to go back. It was, hands down, the coolest place in Akron that I have ever visited and I am still amazed that this gem is just a hop, skip, and a jump from me. Sadly, the lighting in the bar itself wasn’t conducive to taking OOTD shots so I had to resort to snapping pics outside. Aside from my fantastic faces, there are two glaring bloopers in these shots so take a look and let’s discuss further:

The sassiest village person from a video game. “Doth said WHAT?!”

image_50415873(7)

Lol I genuinely have no idea what’s going on here

image_50452993(7)

The hood is coming up so it’s time to embark on an adventure

image_50439169(12)

…Is the hood even on??

image_50419457(9)

AYYYY psyche it is!!!!

image_50736641(5)

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

image_50414849(4)image_50438657(5)

Did you find the bloopers I was talking about?? If you guessed “the huge wad of chewing gum on the ground” and “my sunglasses stem pointing directly at my crotch” then you are a winner!! Lmao, I have no idea how I didn’t notice these two glaring issues while I was taking these pictures, but omg was I annoyed when I was looking through them later and realized it. With something as obvious and out of place as these particular problems, I was SO close to calling this OOTD a wash. Then, I had a brain blast…

I began looking for apps where I could edit these photos and remove the rogue gum and glasses stem. However, I ran into the problem of having to pay for every app I was interested in and I just wasn’t about to do that. Cheap? Yes. Petty? Always. After lots of searching, I finally found an object removal app that was free, but it was the jankiest process known to mankind. Getting rid of the gum and glasses stem on this app called “Fixit” or something of the like took a long time of trial and error. It was a very finicky, touchy app but that’s what you get when you don’t want to pay for something. On the bright side, I only had a few photos to edit from the original post and left the blooper shots as is because, let’s be real, it’s a hell of a blooper!

The Green Dragon, gum, and glasses oh my! These pictures were definitely my wake up call to do a better check of myself and surroundings before Johnny starts snapping away!

What is your favorite photo editor app? Is there a board game bar in your neck of the woods? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Thanksgiving Pt. 2 OOTD Bloopers

Helloooo everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Thanksgiving Pt. 2 OOTD! For Thanksgiving, I had four days off in total and it was absolutely magnificent. I cannot remember the last time I had that much time off in a row – probably not since we vacationed in the Poconos over two years ago! It was basically a Thanksgiving miracle, but it was SO hard to get back to work come Monday. I feel like I went through most of the week half asleep lol. During this OOTD shoot, however, I was wide awake because holy shit was it cold haha check it out:

What an amazing action shot, amiright?

WTF is this, guys? lol YIKES

image_50461953(7)

Back in the day when I was ice skating a lot, I would say that I had a very high tolerance to cold weather. I was so used to it that it never really phased me. Fast forward to when I have not skated in forever and any semblance of tolerance to the cold has flown out the window. Whatever the weather, I will never stop shooting OOTD content. Having said that, these Thanksgiving photo shoots were freaking miserable! Not only was the temperature frigid, but it was windy as all get out and made things so much worse. It was the kind of cold that literally just goes right through you.

Speaking of being cold, it is forever freezing in my apartment compliments of my sweet husband. ❤ Johnny runs hot both in looks and temperature wise. Myself, on the other hand, am a huge freeze baby. We are constantly turning our thermostat up and down, much to each other’s displeasure. While I never back down from a challenge, I have admitted defeat in the Great Thermostat Battle of 2023 because I cannot win! That’s not to say that the cold apartment doesn’t have its perks because there is one… I put my freezing hands and feet on Johnny and lovingly remind him that he is doing it to himself. How adorable are we? 😉

I don’t miss the scorching days of summer, but I would be elated if I could transport to a 70s and sunny location right about now. I guess I’ll make do with make believe as I wrap myself in yet another blanket SMH!

Hello everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Thanksgiving Day OOTD! I had the most wonderful Thanksgiving with both my family and Johnny’s and I hope all of you enjoyed your day too. And, yes, trust and believe I went to town on all of the green bean casserole!! Lol, I had been waiting for that moment for so long and I don’t understand how it’s such a heavily debated Thanksgiving side dish. It is straight fire! But, I digress. Let’s take a look at some of these shots that I am not feeling particularly thankful about 😉 :

I like to think I’m an expert at wearing heels, but I am forever tripping myself up!

Holidays are always a special time to me and they are even more fun with my sweet nieces, Val Gal and Raya. Those little ladies are hilarious and Johnny and I will forever be wrapped around their little fingers! One thing that I love about Val is her passion for fashion. She picks out her own outfits and is most partial to adorable dresses. Real recognizes real, and she can tell that we are one in the same when it comes to style. Val was obsessed with my kitten heels and I assured her they weren’t hard to walk in and she could have them when she was older. Her eyes turned as big as saucers! A shoe girl after my own heart. ❤

What Val liked the most from my Thanksgiving Day OOTD was my forest green shawl with a faux fur collar. When I showed it to her she literally gasped lol she is SO my niece! I put the shawl on Val and it looked like a cape on her, so I declared her Queen Valerie and she settled into that role very nicely. Johnny and I went from aunt and uncle to her royal guards and we spent the evening doting after the queen. That is, until Johnny tried to usurp the throne and ended up being banished to the “dungeon” AKA the basement lol. Hey, what can I say, my lil fashionista rules her kingdom with a firm hand!

It is such a joy to share a love of fashion with my niece and I cannot wait to watch her style continue to develop. I think we have another future fashion blogger in the family, for sure!

Hello everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Navy, Baby OOTD! Creating outfit posts on lifewithlilred is one of my most favorite things and it turns next level after I get my hair done. After I leave the salon, OOTD ideas swarm at a rapid pace and I want to shoot all of the content while my hair still looks fresh and new. I wanted to style a timeless outfit for my Navy, Baby OOTD and I love what I achieved. The pictures you are about to see, however, are very low on my list of accomplishments lol. Check it out:

When I style OOTDs, I love everything about the process. It feels exciting to me to go through my wardrobe and shop as if I have never seen my clothing/shoes/accessory collection before. While it’s always fun to style looks with brand new clothes, it adds more of a challenge to turn old pieces in my wardrobe into something that feels new again. That was definitely the case with my Navy, Baby OOTD and it was so neat to breathe new life into these older pieces (The peacoat is over a decade old!). This type of styling really requires you to think about your clothes differently than you have before and I am so pleased with what I came up with.

The OOTD fun isn’t done when my look is styled and what comes after is my absolute favorite part: Taking pictures with Johnny! He is the most wonderful blog husband and no matter how much he playfully drags his feet, he is always up to the challenge of making me look good lol. Shooting this outfit was a bit of a chore because the lighting sucked. We tried so many different locations before settling on one and he was patient and most helpful in my endeavors. It forever warms my heart when he suggests a spot that he thinks might work! Johnny is nothing short of elated once I am satisfied with the pictures we took, but knowing I have an in house photographer whenever I need is something I am so thankful for. He is the absolute best!

My Navy, Baby OOTD was a fun experience from start to finish. I had a blast shopping in my closet and an even better time hanging around MUD CREEK with Johnny to shoot both winners and total losers of pictures! ❤

What is the oldest piece of clothing you own? Do you prefer taking pictures or being in them? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Helloooo everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Misny Merch OOTD! Johnny and I had the best time at Misnyland and I couldn’t wait to show off the new swag we were gifted with from Tim Misny. After lunch with some of my family at veg+, Johnny and I walked the little trail that runs through the bottom of Timber Top AKA Timber Bottom to shoot my athleisure look. We strolled along the scenic banks of MUD CREEK (It really is named that lol) and returned home with lots of pics that I was happy with. We also came back home with some shots that looked like this:

Timber Top is a pretty alright place to live. I honestly don’t know how it isn’t when we have Mud Creek running through the property! There are also hella dogs to pet and that’s always a delight. Johnny and I love our chihuahua friend named Nacho and I am so impressed that I spelled chihuahua right on my first go. Sometimes, however, Timber Top is redonkulous. This past year or so, someone died from carbon monoxide poisoning, a building caught fire, and people were breaking bones falling through stairs. SMH.

This past week, we thought another Timber Top tragedy was unfolding before our eyes because we were awakened at 10:30 at night to the sound of a fleet of firetrucks, police cars, and ambulances speeding through the property. We had no idea what was going on a few buildings down the way, but it seemed serious. We could see the flashing lights through our windows, could hear the commotion through the walls, and were waiting on baited breath to see what was going to happen….

Thankfully, it was nothing!! Someone was running their dryer at night and because of the cold, it looked like the vents were smoking. While this may seem like a massive inconvenience to some, I’m SO thankful that someone called it in. After another building catching on fire, you cannot be too careful and I am most appreciative to our local safety enforcement for being so Johnny on the spot. What was a trick of the eye could have been something serious and I am so glad that it wasn’t and that no one got hurt. Whoever called this in was focused on keeping our apartment community safe rather than sorry and I commend them! ❤

You never know what’s going to happen in Timber Top and it is a blessing that a goose egg came from our nighttime wake up call. Here’s to an accident free new year in good ol’ TT!!

What was something you thought was serious that ended up being nothing? Do you have any funny named landmarks in your neck of the woods? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Hellooooo darlings! We are going to wrap things up with my Misnyland Party OOTD by checking out the blooper reel! Then, keep it locked for a new vegetarian restaurant review, another brand new OOTD, and lots more fun here on lifewithlilred. 🙂 It has been over a week since Johnny and I attended Tim Misny’s fall fest at his home and I honestly still can’t believe it happened. I have watched the video of my interview with him quite a few times and it almost feels like watching a dream! There is nothing dreamy about the following pictures, though, so let’s take a look see and poke some good old fashioned fun at yours truly:

I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will ALWAYS have a random piece of hair sticking up in pictures. *Face palm*

I know, I know – I look freaking awesome in these pictures that it’s hard to believe that I currently don’t feel awesome. In fact, I am suffering from a cold from hell as I type this and literally have a plastic bag hanging on my chair to deposit used tissues in! My Misnyland weekend was a whirlwind and not only was I lucky enough to hang with Mr. Misny, but I also got to spend lots of time with my sweet nieces, Val and Raya. Guys, I love those little girls more than words can say, however, they are the biggest bio-hazards on this good Earth lol.

This past Friday, I had dinner with Johnny, my sister, and her fam and on Saturday we all got together again for lunch. My fave little ladies both had a bit of a cough and I figured it wasn’t that big of a deal until their germs caught up to me! For the past few days, I have been Sneezy, Snotty, and Coughy – those are some of the names of the Seven Dwarfs, right? I am one of those people who would rather have the flu than have a cold so I have been a Lil Red mess. That will never stop me from creating daily content, though, and even while I feel like ass my loyalty always lies with lifewithlilred. I just don’t understand how those little kid germs hit so hard every time!

Looking good feeling awful, amiright? On the bright side, this cold sponsored by Val and Raya happened well before Thanksgiving. Nothing will stand in the way between me and my beloved green bean casserole, damnit!!

Hello everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Racy Ringleader OOTD! Last year, Johnny and I began a Halloween tradition of passing out Trick or Treat candy in my parents’ neighborhood. This is what we did on Saturday evening along with a bonfire and it was such fun. We saw a lot of great costumes throughout the evening, but I still say mine was the best lol. Sorry about it, kids!! These shots, however, were anything but the best so naturally let’s take a look:

image_50749953(1)

In case you haven’t noticed, Johnny and I love Halloween and we were simply thriving over the weekend. We enjoyed ourselves so much for our dinner and movie date with our bestie on Friday, but Trick or Treat night just hits differently. The entire evening was spent sitting around a raging fire with my parents and brother, laughing and listing off all of our favorite costumes that we had seen. It was so nice to see them get into the Halloween spirit with us and share in our joy of the happiest holiday of all.

We had an insane amount of Trick or Treaters visit us and we actually ran out of candy before the event was over. In that time, we saw so many funny and adorable costumes. I think we all agreed on a kiddo specifically dressed as “Rocky III” and carrying a speaker that played “The Eye of The Tiger” as being the winner. Honorable mention goes to a kid dressed up as a “guy in a suit”, a lil baby as a Starbucks Frappachino, and an undead mermaid. All of the kids rocked it, though, and it warmed my cold, bitter heart to see everyone in the neighborhood having a blast!

This has been one of mine and Johnny’s best Halloweens yet and I wish it never ended. I’d be a liar if I said I wasn’t stoked about Thanksgiving food, though! 😀
