Instalove: April 2013 part one

I decide this month to attempt a photo a day Instagram Challenge. This challenge #LuvSoFab has some great prompts. I’m finding more and more I’m documenting my life on Instagram. So, I decided if I’m going to challenge myself in May to take a themed photo every day why not share some of my past Instagram photos here just for fun. I started going through my April photos to pick… Read more →

When the Right One Comes Along

Today we celebrate one year of marriage! When I’m asked about marriage and relationships, since I’ve known Rory the word I’ve continued to use is “easy”. With us it’s just easy. As Rory said earlier today I honestly have trouble remembering what it was like when he wasn’t a part of my life. I believe there are so many things that can happen in life that it’s just nice to… Read more →

Rainy Day Look

I am NOT loving this weather. Based on my Facebook and Instagram feeds I’d say it’s safe to assume most everyone is wondering where Spring is hiding. Here in Texas I think we jumped right over Springtime weather into “April showers brings May flowers” territory. So, I figured rain gear could be my inspiration to play around with a new (to me) site that lets me share some of my… Read more →

Blog Lovin

I still can’t believe Google Reader is going away. Sad panda. So, I’m spending this afternoon backing up all my feeds. Since I currently have multiple GReader accounts I use for different topics I’m thinking I’ll use a combo of other services to follow my favorite websites and blogs. For all the super girly, GenPink related topics I’ve already been using Blog Lovin’ for a while. I am adding several… Read more →

On buying and selling clothes, shoes and purses from Poshmark

ladies: if you have clothes, shoes or purses you don’t want anymore, I’ve been using Poshmark app lately and it’s a great way to sell some of your items that no longer fit (your hips or your mood :D). It’s also a fun way to discover fun items on a budget. These are my latest poshmark purchases. The iPhone app is free and if sign up with code HGWSP you’ll… Read more →

Randomness + Link Love

It’s been a while since I’ve done link round up posts. But I am constantly sharing awesome things on Twitter and Pinterest so I decide it’s about time I shared the awesomeness here on my pink corner of the web. So my first order of business is deciding which day of the week I should share these? If you have an opinion on that feel free to leave it in… Read more →

iPhone 4 and 4S accessories super cheap

I am a card carrying Apple fangirl so naturally I pre-ordered the iPhone 5 on day one. I had almost convinced myself that I wasn’t going to do this upgrade, but my mom has a hand-me-down iPhone that’s acting a bit wonky since it made a dive into a body of water. That paired with my “I already wanted it anyway” internal conversations I decided to order the 5 and… Read more →

The one where I squeeeeee #eplusr

We just got back a few of our engagement photos!! I super heart them. Our awesome photographer is Jared Rey. We waited until the weather was better to take the photos. Texas in December is not very pretty. It’s hard to believe we are less than 30 days away from our wedding!! *and yes you may have noticed in the title, we do have our own hashtag. We are nerds… Read more →

Geek girl’s guide to packing for SXSWi (part 1)

This week I will be attending my fourth SXSW interactive conference! For me, since a) I get paid to be a professional geek girl and b) it’s a three hour drive, it’s a no-brainer to join 40 bajillion other people for nerd spring break. Naturally, since I’ve been 3 other times I have this packing thing down. Here is how it goes: – tweet at least 3 times, over several… Read more →
