Three years ago, we chose March specifically as a launch date for the blog as it is the month with the most potential. Posed right on the edge of Winter and Spring, March is full of the expectation. Whether you are still shoveling show,… Continue Reading
These days if you watch the modern version of Let’s Make A Deal with Wayne Brady, you know that the show announces on Twitter what they will be looking for during the Purse Game segment every day. But, back in… Continue Reading
We turned the page on 2015, we might as well turn the page on the last playlist. We got some songs picked out that will shed insight into our current head space as well as how we want 2016 to… Continue Reading
Aye yi yi. Everywhere I look lately (Pinterest, Facebook, my ladies mag subscriptions) there are a million listicles purporting essential holiday lifehacks. I’ve taken the clickbait and read many of these compilations (for you, dear reader– such sacrifice!) with an eye to… Continue Reading
I don’t know about you kids, but between the time change and a particularly cloudy patch of weather sitting over us (yes, it happens), my attitude is being kicked pretty hard right now. Seasonal Affective Disorder is real. Even if you… Continue Reading
It seems like everyone is in love with coconut oil in every capacity right now: as a moisturizer, a makeup remover, or as a cooking oil. In the past, I’ve tried to use it as lotion, but found it not… Continue Reading
I’ve known today’s guest poster, the most-lovely Reagen Lowrey Lozar, for as long as I’ve known Coralie– as we all met at the same high school in the long-ago world of the late 1990’s. Among many other things, Reagen and I share an interest in… Continue Reading
First things first: true beauty and happiness do not come in a bottle. No magic lipstick will make you a better person. There is nothing more beautiful than confidence and intelligence will never go out of style. If your inside is not… Continue Reading
Since my last book review post, I have returned from my self-inflicted martyrdom of exclusively reading free, literary classics. The older I get, the easier I find it to stop reading or watching something I am not enjoying. I am no longer an, “I… Continue Reading
For today’s #wbw, I did my due diligence and inserted a picture into a post where I had previously written something along the lines of, “I’m a bad blogger. I wish I had a picture here.” The omission was featured in my… Continue Reading
Five years ago, I made a website for my parents dog. Yeah, you read that right. I made a website for my parents dog. If you met her, you’d get it. Recently, the website received a re-vamp and I thought you guys… Continue Reading
Coralie and I have been rummaging around the back-end of the blog lately, and I noticed that my post on removing painted labels from plastic containers had reached over 20,000 hits. In the blog world, I know that isn’t huge to some people,… Continue Reading
The fun photos are clogging up the phone memory works, which means it’s that time again! Today’s batch of fun photos find themselves in three categories: general fun, car talk, and funny business (names). It’s been a minute since the last fun photo… Continue Reading
If you wouldn’t mind, for me, take a moment (right now) to remember the last time you bought a mattress. Think back to the poorly-lit showroom; where you flopped your way across a lumpy, rectangular sea trying to gauge and project your ability to spend the next… Continue Reading
This playlist was compiled from songs that found their way into our summer; a fun reminder of a sunnier time as we get ready to Fall Back. A fun note: in their unending search for the perfect music hosting platform, Coralie… Continue Reading
As the adorable ‘back to-school’ pictures of my friend’s and family’s “chillren” scroll through my social media feed, it seems fitting that today is the day we return to regularly scheduled blog programming. Although I valiantly posted up until the middle of June, Coralie and… Continue Reading
Many a moon has gone by since there’s been a new post on FTTDWYW. Many a person has inquired, “What has happened to Coralie and Leigh?” Much like schoolchildren, and despite the best intentions, Coralie and Leigh took the summer off from the… Continue Reading
The mercury is slated to hit 95 degrees this week in Atlanta. Even though summer doesn’t officially start until the 21st, it certainly feels like it is in full swing. Which is why todays recommendation is particularly pertinent. Is there… Continue Reading
I know many a cat lover. Cats are great, but my allergies preclude me from being a “cat person”. That doesn’t, however stop me from enjoying adorable cat videos on the internet. Which is a good thing, since 90% of… Continue Reading
I recently read an article on Mental Floss (and you guys know how much I love Mental Floss) that I wanted to share with you guys. The article concerns the science behind caffeine. I guess I never really sat… Continue Reading
