2017 /// DRINK MORE WATER

I think this is my goal every year...DRINK MORE WATER. I know I feel better when I do. I know I look better when I do. Coming back from vacation I started a challenge with a couple friends for accountability. Each challenge is different but the common factor is the drinking more water. Yesterday at work this topic came up and a coworker told me to get the Waterlogged app to keep track throughout the day. I don't know why having an APP is so satisfying. I just logged in and accidentally typed in that I drank 128 oz of water today and that couldn't be farther than the truth. I was trying to type my goal. But...looks like I will have to make that come true today. I want to do the 30 day Water Challenge but I know I will still be good with taking my weight dividing it by 2 and drinking that total number of ounces. 

Why do I want to do this? Because I drink more coffee and wine than I do water most days. I need that to be the other way around. I need more energy throughout the day. I want my skin to stay as young as possible, for as long as possible. I am still too scared to get botox or any kind of work done on my face. I want hydrated lips because I was seriously born with chapped lips! It's true. No headaches in the morning would be cool (not a wine hangover either, just from not drinking enough water) . Possibly a flatter tummy? I am still skeptical of that change. But why not try? Lets take a shot now! A water shot to get this going! Just did and I didn't even make an ugly face!

 Read an honest review of the 30 day challenge. Hilarious but honest. If you just type in 30 Day Water challenge or Lady drinks a gallon of water for 30 days you will find a ton of reviews. Read some.. see if this is anything you are intrigued by and let me know if you are in. So I am officially challenging you to drink more water with me! We can do this! Power in numbers? More people to let down if you don't Ha!

I recommend getting a non plastic bottle. These are my favorite ever since a friend put a gift basket together for his girlfriend and I. Thanks Mark! 

DESTIN /// PIRTLE BABYMOON

For some reason I thought I had been to Destin before with my family but I thought wrong. It wasn't Destin, it was Panama City in 2001. We recently watched a VHS of that trip when we were helping my Mom move in. Oh my Gosh we laughed so hard. I am so glad my dad recorded that family trip but I wish I could go back in time and just appreciate it more. I was such a Ugh!!

Anyway Back to Destin. We were invited to go on our friends Babymoon. For those of you who don't know what that is it is a relaxing or romatic getaway you take before the baby is born. Does everyone take them? Is it just an American thing? I should probably look that up. Jace and Katie just thought it would be fun if we all went together. Out of 21 people 4 couples were able to go and celebrate which happen to be the same group from a Ranch Trip we took 2 years prior so we used the same hashtag #robertdelalisenpirt 

 We spent our days drinking coffee, making breakfast, pouring mimosas, taking our time getting to the beach, listening to music, playing cornhole, I finished reading a book, getting way too much sun, eating some more, sipping drinks, hanging out on the balcony with the ladies, making dinners, playing card games, watching our favorite musicians on you tube, late night walks to the beach, and passing out from pure exhaustion. It was perfect and just what we needed. 

On our last day at the beach Jace and Katie started playing volleyball with some high school girls and I pictured their future for a sec. Playing volleyball with their teenage daughter and her friends. Baby Pirtle is so lucky to have these parents and I hope we get to take future family vacations with them and watch her grow up. I can be the crazy Aunt videoing and taking the pictures the whole time. Wait? I already do that!

2017 /// GO ON MORE DATES

Remember when I said the title of my outfit posts were going to be my 2017 resolutions or goals?  Well this one is top of the list! It is so important for Jacob and I to just have one on one time together and just have fun. We fill our schedules up with friends and family so much and sometimes we forget or we don't have a night free to schedule "us" time. We don't want to continue that so we now have printed out calendars on the fridge where we actually have all our plans written out including DATE NIGHTS.

 Saturday night after I got off work Jacob and I made plans to have a shopping date and go to dinner. We needed to buy new swimsuits for this weeks vacation but after one fitting room session I was over it! Does anyone love trying swimwear on? The lighting in those rooms is awful! Change the lights and maybe people would buy more! Geez. Anyway... we proceeded to shop but not for bathing suits. The highlight of the night was finding a denim cut off RompHIM (romper for a dude). When I saw the light beaming down on it I had to get Jacob to put it on. I found these Shiny Silver High tops that I added to his pile. Pretty sure all the people in line for the dressing room didn't appreciate us taking time for a little photoshoot. Oh well!  If you are curious about this look he posted it on his IG @jacobslisenbe and sadly we did not go home with these items which we are kind of regretting. I mean how awesome would it be for Jacob to roll up in this get up? I would love to see the look on peoples faces. Dang it! Now I wish he would have worn it to True Foods that night. Hopes and Dreams....

This Dress and Sunnies were just a couple of items I bought that night. I'm pretty excited about my purchases because they are very different from my normal work wardrobe but still completely my style. What are some stores you are loving lately? 

Boots /// Cobra Rock 

Dress /// Zara (current) - I just think this looks better opened rather than buttoned all the way down. I am pretty short so this length would be very unflattering on me if I wore it closed up. It would look like a potato sac on me. I would totally wear this with cut off shorts too and maybe some platforms to make me taller. 

Leggings ///  - They sent these to me after our Marfa Retreat and they are the most comfortable pants ever. They are high waisted too so they don't cut off at an awkward area like right in the middle of your muffin top! I like wearing shorts or pants under dresses so I don't flash anyone. 

Sunnies ///  Cheap sunnies are ideal for beach vacations which is why I bought these. If they fall into the ocean or get all scratched up by the sand no biggie! 

Bucket Bag /// Hatton Henry - I love this bag so much I have it in small and in large! 

Gold Bangles /// Gifted or Thrifted - I love how small they are! 

Watch ///  - Jacob got me this watch because my fit bit kept breaking. I am still trying to figure out all the things I can do with this gadget. Love it!

Hair /// Waving Iron  - People keep asking me about our waving iron and they can't find it anywhere. But we have them for sale at Do or Dye TX so come on in. I only wash my hair once a week and style it with the wave iron on Day 1 and then the rest of the week I'm set!
