Lucky Magazine

I’ve had a subscription to Lucky magazine since it started in 2000. I mean their tag line is “A magazine about shopping and style”, so how could I pass that up?!

I love to rip pictures out of outfits in the magazine that appeal to me and I have them in a folder to look through for inspiration whenever I am looking for something new.

I recently heard about the “Lucky Community” and signed up as a contributor.

I am still trying to figure it out (oh why couldn’t I have been blessed with a more technologically savvy brain?!), but so far, I love being able to look through other fashion bloggers style photos (although it makes me feel highly unworthy).

If you’re looking for some inspiration or just have time to kill, hop on over to the Lucky Community website. You can find me by searching for “Rena Frey”.

There’s even a contest going on right now that I’m thinking of joining. I’ll post more once I figure things out a bit.

Chore Swap

I hate cleaning my house. Unfortunately it is an evil necessity, unless I don’t mind living in a house from Hoarders, which I do. That show is like a train wreck, you know you should stop and look away, but it’s just so bad. But I digress. There are certain chores that I don’t mind doing, so I’m wondering if anyone is my chore opposite and wouldn’t mind “swapping” with me.

Here’s what I like to do…followed by what I dislike:

-separating laundry into colors (love this)…putting laundry away (but really is there anyone out there that likes this?!)

-unloading the dishwasher…cleaning dishes (yuck, ew, barf)

-vacuuming…sweeping and mopping (although the Swiffer WetJet is a game changer)

-sitting on my butt & watching TV while eating cookies…washing windows/walls

So…anyone up for a little exchange? Wanna come over & clean my house while I indulge my laziness? Ha! 😉

Summer Panic

I have to go back to work one week from today. My summer is coming to an end. My one on one, being home 24/7 with my family is almost over. I am depressed and in denial of this fact and I go into a panic every time I think about it. It’s funny how being off for only a month and a half leaves you with the feeling that you forget how to do your job. I’ve been doing it for eight years, so I’m sure it’ll come back to me as soon as I get to work next week. It’s like riding a bike, right? 😉
