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

Giddy Up OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Giddy Up OOTD! This look was worn to go to a fabulous viewing of Toy Story 5 and it was the best time. I drew inspiration from my favorite character, Jessie, for this Lil Red take on Western vibes and loved how it turned out. It was a huge hit with my nieces too! So much so that they requested Johnny’s Rock n’ Roll Cowgirl fringe button down when they are big enough to wear it. I told them it was a deal as long as I could still borrow it! This OOTD definitely fell under the category of full blown country fun. But these pictures? Full blown yikes! Lol check it out:

Howdy, partner!

This cowgirl is serving SO much sass

Wind in the hair? More like fringe in the air!

Out here giving it my all

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

There’s a new sheriff in town!!!

Lol the sad thing is I thought I was serving SO hard!!! SMH

Prior to seeing Toy Story 5, I had only seen the first and second films of the franchise. When Johnny and I returned home, we decided to rectify that and had a Toy Story triple feature by watching three and four together. They were both excellent but oh my goodness was Toy Story 3 harrowing!! Between the sorrow of Andy going away to college, the terrifying evil dictator bear, Lotso, and the horror of Big Baby we were convinced that this movie wasn’t made for children at all but grown ups. Although it was a fun and often funny movie, I was shooketh. But, honestly, that’s the joy of watching children’s movies as adults because we can pick up on all of the humor and plot points that the kiddos miss.

As the Fun Aunt and Uncle, we are well versed in all of the latest kids TV shows and movies and I swear we enjoy them even more than our nieces when we watch them. The Paw Patrol movie? Classic. The new Spongebob Squarepants flick? Inspired. And don’t even get me started on the amazing Gabby’s Dollhouse movie!! Every time we go to the movies together, it is a chance for our inner children to let loose. We go crazy at the concession counter with popcorn, candy, and blue raspberry Icees and it’s never not magical to walk into the theater and find our seats with snacks in tow. Going to the movies is one of my favorite things in the world and it is so special to share in that love with our bestie squad. I am already chomping at the bit to take them to the new live action Moana!!

No matter your age, there is always fun to be had with movies like Toy Story and even Paw Patrol. Long live movie magic!!

What is your favorite children’s movie? What was your favorite Toy Story movie? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Matching Set Magic OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Matching Set Magic OOTD! This little look was created after hightailing it home from my hair appointment just in time to take some pics and head to Blossom Music Center to see The Strokes. Saying that I have wanted to see them for forever seems like such a drastic understatement and I am still on cloud nine from seeing one of my favorite bands live. Johnny and I had such a fabulous time at the show mingling with other concertgoers, dancing, and simply basking in the charged atmosphere at the venue. These pics? Not so fabulous:

Practicing my moves for the show

I’M SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting myself together and also my hair looks awesome! 😀

Taking a moment with my imaginary friend to pat them on the head

Serving the sass!!!!

Lol what in the world is going on here?!

Johnny’s van in the background is honestly the star of this picture. The Great Golden Hope!!

When you buy tickets at Blossom you can either sit in the pavilion or stand on the lawn. Pavilion seats just happened to be five or so bucks more expensive so I decided to go for it on the off chance that it rained. It was an excellent choice as our seats were even closer to the stage than I could have hoped for! Not only did we have an outstanding view of the stage but we also enjoyed the company of the dad, his kid, and his kid’s friend that were sitting behind us. Picture two twenty something guys that star in a soap opera by the beach and that is exactly what they looked like. We told them as such and they delighted in the compliment!

As we got to talking, we learned that our new friends were twenty-five and twenty-two and we felt SO old! The Strokes were so popular when Johnny and I were little and I jokingly asked our concert mates if they were alive when the band came out. We all got a chuckle out of it and one of them quipped that people from his generation liked The Strokes too. I was so convinced he was going to call me ma’am! That one would have hurt lol. But, all joking aside, it is such fun to go to a show, meet new people young and old, and just have a laugh in between sets and songs. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew of people around us to rock out at the amazing show with!

No matter where we go, Johnny and I are always making new friends and the best memories. I can’t wait for more Blossom shows this summer!

What is your favorite era of music? Is there anything that makes you feel old? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Dressed To The Nines OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Dressed To The Nines OOTDs! My family had the most wonderful time celebrating my beautiful cousin on her wedding day and we did so in style! Johnny and I simply come alive at a wedding and had been looking forward to Anna’s big day for months. It did not disappoint! I have no clue when the next wedding we attend will happen but I sure hope it does soon. I think we both have wedding fever despite being already married lol. Indeed, the day couldn’t have gone better for the bride, groom, and guests. These pictures could stand to improve, though!

Lmao you guys what even is this?

I swear I didn’t have any champagne before taking this shot. #dazedandconfused

Looking you dead in the eyes like

TFYM when your husband says he doesn’t want to get a divorce so we can get remarried to each other SMH

Practicing my dance moves before the reception

Walking to my phone FIERCELY

After Anna’s wedding ceremony we checked into the Hotel Indigo to prepare for her reception. We planned on Ubering to the party so all that we needed to do was get dressed and pop on the TV for the constant Office marathon that is always running on Comedy Central lol. When it was time to go, we headed to the lobby to wait for our Uber and that began the longest journey of our lives. Cleveland was a buzz of activity because there was a baseball game, a basketball game, and a concert happening all in one night. The streets were jam packed with traffic and people and finding our Uber proved to be an impossible task.

Our driver let us know where he was and we walked a block or so to the location. Was he there? NO. He then said he was a few streets down so we walked there too. Was he there? … NO. Finally, he informed us that he was at a restaurant over three blocks away and we simply gave up. It was hot AF, we were dressed to impress, and refused to walk another step to find the rogue driver. Then, a miracle happened. A taxi driver approached us and after explaining the situation, he told us to hop in. This driver was our guardian angel and really did save the day/our lives. Thanks to his kindness, our long trek ended in a comfy car to be chauffeured to the party. Screw Uber but huge shout out to our taxi driver!! ❤

After trudging through the uneven sidewalks of Cleveland for a solid half hour in platforms, my dogs were barking. That didn’t stop me from dancing the night away one bit! 😀

Have you ever had a bad Uber or ride share experience? How did the problem get solved? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Floral Fierce OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Floral Fierce OOTD! TGIF, amiright?! I have been counting down to the end of the week since the beginning of the week lol. I just couldn’t help it because I am beyond excited for my cousin’s wedding weekend. Johnny and I simply come alive at a wedding and I just know we are all going to have a blast with my family. I can’t wait to dress to the nines, drink champagne, and dance the night away… Then tell you all about it next week! Let’s get this weekend eve started with some fun by poking some fun at these yikes shots:

Flashing a cheeky grin and looking beaver bella lol

Just having a laugh!! 😀

Here’s squinting at you, kid

My signature Squidward face

JOHNNY IS AWESOME AT TAKING PICTURES!!!!

Flamingo fierce

I am so BEAUTIFUL!!!

I have never really thought about bugs or pests before. I like butterflies, moths, ladybugs, lightening bugs, caterpillars and… that’s about it lol. However, I have been doing some content creating for a pest control company as of late and now it’s literally ALL I can think about! Thanks to this gig, I have developed quite an understanding for different Northeast Ohio pests, where they might be found, and warning signs of infestation. I really enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood and going on hikes and it has now turned into a demonstration of my newfound knowledge. I am constantly pointing things out to whoever is joining me on the trek!

Standing water from a storm? BOOM – mosquitoes. Tall grass in an unmaintained lawn? BOOM – ticks. Sodden mulch or rotted wood chips? BOOM – carpenter ants and termites lol. It’s a gift that I can’t freaking turn off to save my own life! I am one of those people who gets itchy just thinking about bugs. This was exasperated by a carpenter ant infestation in my old apartment. I woke up one night to one crawling on me and haven’t been the same since. Despite this little phobia, I do think it’s getting better because I am learning so much about these crawly creatures. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I want them in my home or on my skin but I guess they’re not so bad… maybe? As long as they stay the frick away from me! 😀

Every walk I have been on since starting this job has put my pest knowledge to the test. Hey, it’s always great to learn something new!

What kind of pests are in your neck of the woods? What is your favorite bug? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Skort & Sweet OOTD Bloopers

Howdy everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Skort & Sweet OOTD! We are officially into May and HURRAY! Is it just me or did April take like three months to be over? I am manifesting lots of fun in the sun after several days of rain, snow, and even hail and there is nothing better for sunshine vibes than a good laugh. Sometimes, you just have to create your own sun! Taking a look at these yikes shots, for example, is a great place to start:

TOO MUCH SEXY!!!!

You can’t see the haters if your eyes are barely open

You said WHAT?!

Hovering a few centimeters off the ground like the angel I am

Princess pose!!

See you next time!!!! ❤

I don’t know about all of you, but last week was a doozy for me. My work week was pretty long and I was looking forward to the weekend since last Monday morning lol. We had plans to go mini golfing with my brother and his friend (More on that later!) and it was a total blast. Other than that, we had nothing going on and all I wanted to do was play more It Takes Two – a super fun puzzle solving co-op game with my main squeeze. With several busy weekends behind us, it was a while since we played and I couldn’t wait to sink my teeth into more fast paced team work missions. So tell me why we didn’t end up playing at all? I’ll tell you why…

We got way too invested in Law & Order SVU lol. After we returned home from mini golfing, I made us some tacos for a late lunch and we watched an episode while we ate. And, like that potato chip slogan, just one wouldn’t do! We decided on just one more after our meal and that turned into two more to three more and so on and so forth until we went to bed SMH. In our defense, there were crimes to solve and we couldn’t let the elite squad face them alone! Sometimes you just have to take it easy, binge watch your favorite shows, and become one with your couch. I guess we were both more worn out from the week than we originally bargained for. But, hey, I went into Monday feeling SO well rested that it was actually a very successful weekend, indeed!

Although we didn’t get to play It Takes Two, we had a lot of quality time with Olivia Benson so I really think that it all balances out in the end!

Who is your favorite SVU character? What do you think of the new season? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Crop Top Cutie OOTD Bloopers

Greetings, earthlings! How are you? I am currently in a state of freaking annoyed AF, thanks for asking. As I began typing this, a freaking fly that has posted up in my apartment was doing acrobatics around my head and it is driving me absolutely batty! It is seriously the most lousy roommate ever SMH. Woo… *Deep breaths* Okay! I know I could use a laugh so let’s get to this Blooper Reel, baby! Take a look at these yikes shots from my Crop Top Cutie OOTD:

Johnny is a master photographer ❤

Time and time again, he always captures me from my good side

Just standing here looking pissed about something or another

Caught in the headlights lol

Looking like that horror movie Smile lol say cheese!

I am an avid bookworm and try my best to finish at least two or so books per month. Whenever I have any spare time during the day, you can almost always catch me with my nose in a book! This past week, I began reading a book called Darkwater Lane by Rachel Caine and Carrie Ryan and was very intrigued by the plot. Then, about sixty pages in, I realized that something wasn’t quite adding up. Throughout the first handful of pages I read, the author was referring to plot points and characters that seemed important. I assumed that it would be clarified later but it kept on happening. And, as you all know, assume makes an ass out of U and ME!

Once I was fed up enough with feeling out of the loop, I decided to give the book a little Google and *face palm*. It’s no wonder nothing was making sense because it was the last book in a seven book series lololol. In my defense, there was literally nothing on the back of this book or its first few pages to indicate that it was part of a series so how was I supposed to know? In hindsight, I should have looked it up earlier but I was already invested! On the bright side, I have a new series to read and got the first book, Stillhouse Lake, from the library. Stay tuned for a Lil Red’s Book Club review coming soon and, in conclusion, SMFH.

This book blunder was a definite whoopsy daisy on my end so I guess the moral of the story is: Always check if you are starting a book at the end of a series first lol!

What is your favorite book series? Have you ever started a series not at the beginning? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

So Spring OOTD Bloopers

Howdy everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my So Spring OOTD! I love creating content of all kinds but OOTDs just hit different as they are a triple whammy. I’ve got the pics that definitely made the cut, the yikes shots, and a little TikTok video for good measure. OOTDs are where my creativity and personality truly shine – especially in the bloopers! I am a huge goof and am always laughing at myself and it just makes me happy to showcase that. What fun is life if you can’t have a chuckle at your own expense? Let’s all have a titter together with these shots:

Looking like those balloon things outside of a car dealership

The focus and sheer determination of an Olympic gymnast to strike this pose

Talk about wind in the hair, amiright?

Fighting for my damn life here

I’M SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who? Me?

When I was FaceTiming with my blogging bestie last weekend, we took a trip down memory lane. We always have to discuss which shows we’re binging and DVDs were brought up. We both agreed that two decades ago, our minds would have been blown if we knew that all of our favorite entertainment would be collected onto streaming services. We had fond memories of visiting the library to check out movies, hitting up BlockBuster for rentals, and treasure hunting in the DVD bargain bin at Walmart. The last example definitely hit hard for me.

When I moved into my first apartment, all I had for entertainment was a small TV, DVD player, and a handful of movies to watch on repeat. As I was ballin on a budget, I straight up refused to pay for streaming services and I couldn’t even if I wanted to because the TV was old as dirt. To rectify this, I became obsessed with the five dollar DVDs at Target, Walmart, or 5 Below. Whenever I visited any of those stores, I always walked away with a couple of new movies to add to my collection. Then, I would go home, cook my dinner, and watch whatever I selected.

Was it the most practical? Not really. However, I was so proud and happy with my little dollhouse apartment and my after work movies quickly became my favorite tradition. When Johnny and I started dating, he introduced me to his plethora of streaming services and our running joke was that it was the only reason we were together. It’s totally true! Lolol, I am totally kidding! Despite the streaming services we have now, I still have my DVD collection proudly displayed and it was so much fun to reminisce on them with my best girl. Should streaming services ever go extinct, I have a healthy five dollar movie selection on standby! 😀

It’s so crazy to think about how entertainment has changed since the 2000s and my chit chat and DVDs hit me right in the nostalgia!

Do you still have DVDs at home? What is your favorite streaming service? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Makeup Magic OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Makeup Magic OOTD! I would never consider myself a makeup girl and much prefer purchasing clothes and shoes instead. However, if someone else is doing my makeup then that’s a totally different story! I had such a delightful time getting my face beat by my makeup artist friend who works at MAC. She did a bang up job and I was SO impressed with her skills because Lil Red could NEVER lol. I wouldn’t even know where to begin to recreate the MOTD she made up on a whim. Although I was feeling myself in a major way after my makeup was done, yikes shots are always going to happen during an OOTD shoot! Take a look:

Serving face but not in the good way. Also why is my hair ALWAYS sticking up?!

Strike a pose there’s nothing to it – VOGUE

The faraway look of a hungry girl who can’t wait to eat at Buca Di Beppo

Whoopsie! I actually kind of like this picture lol

Makeup: 10. My face: -5

I am SO beautiful ❤

My Johnny and I very much enjoyed the horror series, Welcome To Derry, and were yearning for another scary show to sink our teeth into. I have always wanted to watch From as I have heard nothing but good things about it and we finally started watching it two or so weeks ago. All I have to say is: Holy shit. Lol that show is freaking nuts and we cannot get enough! I look forward to watching an episode or two every day after work and genuinely feel sad when it’s time to start heading to bed. This is the most binge worthy series I have watched in a long time and I highly recommend it to any horror fan.

To make a long story short, people who are traveling end up in a town they can’t escape from and creatures come out at night. The atmosphere is claustrophobic, the plot is insane, and the acting is sublime. It’s hard to put a tally on how many times Johnny and I say “wtf” when we are watching From but I would put it in the twenties, bare minimum. We’re honestly two of the most obnoxious TV watchers on the planet but it’s hard to not vocalize it because, I repeat, wtf with that show lol. If you are looking for a twisty, spooky tale that warrants a wtf every five to seven minutes, then you have got to give it a try! 😀

Wtf with From and wtf with these bloopers! Have a laugh and then have a scare because you will be hooked after one episode!

Have you watched From? What do you think of it? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Faux Fur Fierce OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Faux Fur Fierce OOTD! These pictures were taken as soon as I returned home from getting my hair done and I am SO in love with the results. I always say that every time my stylist does my hair is my favorite but I honestly think this Spring Sunset palette takes the cake. It is just so good and I legit will never be over it. We like to change up my hair at every appointment but these new colors might have to stick around for a while because I can’t get enough! Unlike my fabulous new do, these yikes shots leave a lot to be desired lol check it out:

Sending come hither vibes

New hair got me like

Lol I love these stiletto mules but they kept getting stuck in the wooden walkway smh

Johnny told me my vest looked like Chewbacca SO sweet ❤

How YOU doin?

I think all the bleach went to my head!

I don’t know about all of you, but Johnny and I LOVE watching game shows. Whether it’s Jeopardy, Family Feud, The Floor, or The Quiz With Balls we just have a blast playing along and revel in our success when we get answers right. Our newest favorite game show has got to be The Greatest Average American hosted by Nate Bargatze. We are avid fans of his comedy and were completely hooked after a few minutes of watching the first episode. The game is all about thinking like the average American when it comes to questions like “If you weren’t going to get injured, what would make the best story?” with options like getting struck by lightening, falling from a plane, or getting swept up in a tornado. If you answer in line with the people questioned, you are one step closer to winning the average American salary of $67,920. Even this amount is funny because classic game shows offer one hundred grand at least!

For the past several Thursdays we watch The Greatest Average American as soon as I get home from work and it’s just the best. Thursdays are my long days and I love being able to shake it off by tuning into something interactive and hilarious. Our favorite part of the show has got to be when Nate has to complete physical challenges including throwing footballs from a recliner or hitting wiffleballs into the audience. The piece de resistance, however, is Nate’s Favorite Things. Should the contestant win the grand prize, the audience wins one of Nate’s Favorite Things. It could be a Stouffer’s meal, an Uncrustable, or a package of Red Vines. Johnny and I would have loved to score the Applebee’s gift card as, like Nate, we appreciate a Middle Class Fancy meal too. 😀

If you are in the mood to have some fun, I can’t recommend The Greatest Average American enough. You will be in stitches!!

What is your favorite game show? Do you have weekly shows to tune into? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
