My weekend, my friend and a whole lotta pictures

What a successful weekend. I worked most of the day Saturday and managed to get so many other things accomplished still. Specifically, tons of school things were completed, initiated, and planned for. Enjoyed some grocery shopping and made yummy meals while knocking out some house chores too. Busy with purpose is the only way to get over being busy, ya know?


This is a part of my thesis I am very excited to continue investigating. To learn more, please head over to my other site megkhyde.com.


Sat. night my amazing friend Lizetty and her fiance had a housewarming/Halloween party that was positively magnificent. They put on a good show that's for sure! The food, the bevvies, the company, it was a smash hit.



Some dolled up tangerines, hey girls!


Lizetty made these entirely from scratch, dolled them up something fierce, and assembled the adorable stand like a pro.


This year, I was inspired by the lifestyle of fabulous and came to showcase this in the form of a scarecrow. I had all the ingredients for said costume minus a silver wig and tinsel and some new boots, which I need for the rest of fall and the coming winter.








Love these. Hey Target, you spoke to my soul yet again. Well played.





Hunter had some work done for the event. What a ghoulishly good looker he is. By the way, his eyes are closed in these pics. The artist did phenomenal work.





So cool and totally creepy.




For a smidgen of some downtime, I had brunch with a good friend that included...wait for it...Raspberry Mimosas! And honest to god mini french, home fries. Adorable and it was good, good, good.




We strolled along Park Ave after and AS IF a fab fritatta and super fun company wasn't enough to make it a great time, there was a Pet Costume Contest happening with dogs of all shapes and sizes and all variations of mini cowboy hats, super hero masks, and coinciding devil/angel outfits! Somebody pinch me! We both were ready to become Pug foster parents after witnessing a dog kissing booth with a precious little doll named Ella that simply stole my heart. I was totally prepared to make my usual call to Hunty with a request to come help me with things to bring in the house from the car. Surpriseeeeee......


Happy to begin my third to last class of graduate school today. Wish me well. Let's do this.

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w...

Simple blessings

I’m lying in bed, next to a snoring husband and my baby girl dogter sprawled out cozy as can be, while the rain falls down upon our roof. Gone are the days of spending a Saturday night downtown at a club, throwing beers back in a honky think, or galavanting around to anywhere with the lights on. And I’m not mad about it. Not even a little bit. There is tilt no place I’d rather be than with hunter, Roni and our comfy sweet little home happily netflixing and writing this here post. It’s a good feeling indeed. I count my blessings extra on nights like this and say a few additional prayers for love and comfort to continue on. I truly don’t ask for more than health, happiness, and love. Anything else is gravy. To simple blessings for all.

Blogtober Dayyyy 27! A Letter To Your Younger Self

First of all, this is my 203rd post! I slid right on by the day I hit 200, probably in a haze from writing so many days consistently like this. So I am now thrilled to announce I am moving right along and haven't tapped out. For that I have Blogtober 2014 to give credit to. I am so so so determined to meet my goal of writing all 31 days. Thank you again for linking this up Helene and Taylor !! Now, on to today's topic: A Letter To Your Younger Self Dear 22-27 year old Meggie, Hey, it's me, 29 year old you. Just wanted to check in and cover a couple things that I've learned to be true, so if you want to go ahead and use this insight sooner, have at it. So a few things still stand that I've mentioned to 17 year old you and as I recounted the ten things I've learned since high school . Please keep drinking water over anything else and avoid the hair bleach. But you know, being 29 and thinking back, the ages 22-27 were a huge chapter of your life a...
