Where's R Been?

For all three of my readers who may wonder why I've been silent for the past few weeks, I must apologize.  I've had so much going on in terms of personal life and my professional life.  Unfortunately, neither has been quite fun and has been rather stressful.  I have lots of exciting things I want to write about and not limited to:  Nail Polish trends, favorite shoes, and new recipes.


Stay patient...hopefully the writing bug will bite me soon.

N's Project 365: Week 42

January 22, 2012: A dreary day in the city by the bay.
January 23, 2012: Nothing.

January 24, 2012: Ugh, January gym traffic.

January 25, 2012: Oh, of course you need this massive box to ship a tiny, flat screen protector.

January 26, 2012: Did no one answer "none of the above?"

January 27, 2012: Dear Target, even though I keep saying I want to be at the beach, I'm not ready for this.

January 28, 2012: Ombre nails (minus the random pink finger that the manicurist insisted on adorning with a flower)!

January 29, 2012: My car's first bird poop encounter. I'm obvi at the bottom of the barrel with my photos nowadays.

Red Carpet #2

My picks from the SAG Awards, in no particular order...


Viola Davis in Marchesa. A little too much cleavage in IMO, but otherwise beautiful. I love the Grecian feel and the choice of white.


Emma Stone in Alexander McQueen. I'm not normally drawn to tea-length for some reason, but I think this is adorable.



Naya Rivera in Naeem Khan. Sparkly and elegant.

N's Project 365: Week 41

January 15, 2012: Finished!

January 16, 2012: Happy 90th birthday, Betty White!

January 17, 2012: I can still wear holiday PJs...right?

January 18, 2012: Blackout.

January 19, 2012: Really? Am I?

January 20, 2012: My first pair of rainboots, to soften the blow of the lack of sunshine.

January 21, 2012: I'm still shocked when I turn a corner in the grocery store and see a full aisle of hard liquor. We're not in the South anymore.

R's Friday Food Porn

Sorry for the delay, I've had a lot going on.  I was lucky enough to just have these at home for lunch, courtesy of Mom, gluten free of course.

N's Project 365: Week 40


January 8, 2012: No wonder the Belmont library charges for book requests. They have to pay for the cushy seats and fireplace somehow.

January 9, 2012: Ummm, why does my freshly unwrapped mint have random green debris on it?

January 10, 2012: In with the new!

Januar 11, 2012: Soup from a box but so yum.
January 12, 2012: Nothing.

January 13, 2012: Yes, I go to bed at 9pm on Fridays. I'm not ashamed.

January 14, 2012: Such a great song!

'Tis the Season...

...awards season, that is! I'm embarrassingly excited that this year I could stay up for all of the Golden Globes AND the post-show interviews since I'm on the west coast.


Sooo, here are my faves from this year's red carpet:


Debra Messing in Monique Lhuillier. Classic.

Nicole Richie in Julien Macdonald. Surprising!


Paula Patton in Monique Lhuillier. I don't even know who this woman is, but I love the color she wore.
Kate Beckinsale in Roberto Cavalli. Gorgeous.


And my disappointments:


Lea Michele in Marchesa. Is Glee going to the ice capades?


Jessica Biel in Elie Saab. Oh my. This might have worked for Helen Mirren (who looked great btw), but not Jessica. I hope this isn't a sneak preview of her wedding dress.

N's Project 365: Week 39

January 1, 2012: First meal of the year at WaHo!
January 2, 2012: Laziness.

January 3, 2012: Back to work. At some point I'd like to see a January calendar photo that doesn't make me feel colder than I already am.

January 4, 2012: Mani of the week, elf's "Metal Madness."

January 5, 2012: I'm one of the few people around who still actually checks out books from the public library.

January 6, 2012: I find it both thrilling and terrifying to be in a car while going through a car wash.

January 7, 2012: R's triple espresso after a looong day.

New GF/LF Find!

I don't eat alot of frozen prepackaged meals, however I like having some quick things that I can have for lunch or dinner in a pinch.  I just finished having Amy's Organic Enchiladas that are dairy/gluten/cholesterol free.  I was afraid they'd be taste free but I was completely wrong. I highly recommend these!  I've also heard their mac 'n cheese is good - I'll try that next.
