Calling all cool kids....are you linking up this week?


Happy Hump Day! WebMDiva and I are ready for week two of our linky kinky collaboration, #ShowMeYours. Each Wednesday at 12 a.m. EST. our link up will go live. (We'll run through the weekend until midnight on Sunday mornings.)

The rules? Well, rules were made to be broken. So we're going to keep it short and sweet.

1. Link up as many posts as you want. Promote your blog, your brand, your business, your giveaways, or even your own blog hops. No topic is off-limits. Who are we to judge?

2. While it's not required, please try to visit both hosts. Drop us a comment, throw us a tweet, or give us a follow. We're both some serious follow back girls.

3. Wanna be tweethearts? Tag us both, @webmdiva and @cmoundslclouds using the hashtag #ShowMeYours, along with the link to your post, and we'll both kindly retweet you.

4. Again, while it's not the law, please try to visit other blogs. After all, you get what you give! Plus you could meet other really cool people like us. ;)

5. We'd love for you to follow our new Pinterest board, where we'll be pinning some of our favorite #ShowMeYours link up posts.

6. Spread the love by sharing our link up in any way you see fit. The more exposure our link up gets, the more exposure you'll get.

Oh yeah, we have a cute BUTTon. Grab it if you'd like. (See what we did there?) Or don't. Either way.

Braids for Days

Damaging your hair is just the new thing. Between dyes, flat-irons, and trendy ways of styling, it's no wonder healthy hair is so hard to obtain. 

I'm super guilty. You know, the kind of girl that dyed her hair after a break-up, or tossed it up in a knotted-bun just to get it out of her face. I know... Basic. 


About a year ago, I said goodbye to hair dye and tangled up mess in a ponytail. I wanted to let my natural curls run free.

I can't stand when my hair gets in the way of things sometimes. I decided to start braiding my hair for four reasons.

1. Because it's cute
2. There are about 487239 kinds of braids to choose from
3. Easy to learn how to do, with tutorials everywhere
4. An up-do to keep my hair out of my face AND not damage the roots. I want my hair to be long enough to wipe the floor with glitter. (Kidding, kinda.)


Here are a few of my favorite looks.



Your saving your hair from the unnecessary pulling and tugging. & they're so pretty!!

How do you keep your hair out of the way?

Pineapple Rum Punch

I plan on enjoying my weekend with this nice weather, as it will be short lived. 
75 today & 32 degrees tomorrow. Sigh. 

Anyway, you know I always come through with the best booze recipes. I bring to you, Pineapple Rum Punch. It tastes better than it sounds. & it's quick and easy. 

You will need: 
- Fresh Pineapple Chunks 
- 3 cups Canada Dry Ginger Ale
- 3 cups Pineapple Juice
- 1 cup Malibu Rum
(But if you're like me, you probably want to throw in an extra cup.)


Enjoy! Please drink responsibly.


Linking up on this beautiful, tipsy Friday with:

10 Reasons Why It Needs to Be Summer Again

You walk outside to grab the mail. BOOM you freeze your balls/tits off. Awesome, right?


I envy everyone who lives in an area where the temperature doesn't drop a degree below 60. Seriously. Trade me spots. Asking for a friend here. 

Not only do the extra layers of clothing take extra time to bundle yourself in, but they make you look frumpy & just uncomfortable.

Winter Layers

Expectation Vs Reality




 While my skin is dry and walking outside makes me want to run away, I can't help but dream about the better times. The warm fucking weather times. Brings out the inner mermaid in me.

If you're like me & live in an area where the Winter months are a drag, you can all agree with me as to why Summer is the best.

1. Tanning
I'm a very pale lady, and I crave sunlight. Laying out in your bathing suit (or birthday suit) is just relaxing AF. Who doesn't love that bronze glow?


2. Driving with the windows down
A nice cruise in mid-July is fucking fantastic. Roll down those windows and feel the warmth and nice breeze. Ahhhh. If you drive a jeep, make sure you put your hair up!


3. More activities
No matter what you're into, warmer weather leaves a bigger window of things you can be doing. Swimming, hiking, fishing, or just sitting outside & finally not being a hermit after that long Winter.


4. Statistics
Studies have found that depression & anxiety seem to peak in the colder months, since there is little to do and no sun to make ya feel a little happy.


5. Sunglasses
Um. Everyone looks fly in their shades.


6. Fashion
I don't know about you, but I'd prefer sandals & tank tops over sweaters & boots any day.


7. Booze
Yes, I know. Booze are good in the sun & snow. Isn't it nice to take your beer outside and cookout? Or take a few shots and hop in the lake? BUT, have you seen these liquor popsicles?!



8. Expenses
So much cheaper since you don't have the heat blasting throughout your home. Who doesn't want to save a buck? Now you can buy booze for those popsicles. ;)


9. No School
I don't think I even need to explain the greatness of not having to get up at 6 AM to get the kiddies (or yourself) ready for school. Are you on board with me on the Summer boat yet?


10.  Camp Fires
In the warmer months, the sun seems to never go down. Unwind in the evenings/night time and build a little fire, surround yourself with a group of kick ass people, & enjoy.


I could probably throw you 100,000 reasons as to why I'd rather it be Summer year-round, everywhere. I guess I gotta remind myself that it's well on its way. I'm stocking up on bikinis, shades, and booze right now, as we speak. Are you ready? :)
