Why I Love Napping In My Car

Not only am I a fan of napping, I'm also crazy amazing at it and napping in my car is a new adventure for me. Yes it makes me feel more like a hobo, and yes I'm paranoid that people are watching me, but there is something very freeing about being able to do your favorite thing (and napping is literally my favorite thing of all time) anywhere you go.


Somethings to prepare for when planning on regularly napping in your car:

1. The Sun: It can be your worst enemy, especially if you are someone who is used to a pitch black room while napping. For situations like this I have to insist you buy a sleeping mask. Not only are they nifty sun defeaters, but they can also be freaking cute. Get one like Holly Golightly if you're having trouble deciding. That way you won't have to worry about looking pretty while you snooze.


2. Comfort: I have no guilt in buying a cozy blanket and a mini pillow and storing them in my backseat for emergency napping. I have no shame sir! I will throw out that cozy blanket, prop my head on that mini pillow and snooze for a lunch hour like nothing. Plus you're always ready for an emergency sleep over...


3. Commitment: If you are going to do it... do it. Take your shoes off. Throw back your hair. Whatever it takes. And tell your friends! The more people who are open to their weird napping experiences the less strange the looks we will get become when we say "be right back I'm gunna go take a nap in my car..."

Movie Muse = Jane Eyre


"You can't give half a sacrifice, you must give all."


This girl must have been the sole heir to all the pain and suffering in the world. Is it fair to call this movie happy depressing and on a side note I must mention that I've never loved the look of grass so much than in Jane Eyre. Maybe it's the dark tone of this film that makes it pop but for some reason the earth glows like emerald candy. It's not all candy colored grass and giggles. This one's not a happy tale. If you've heard anything of the stories of the Bronte family you'll know that, but it is quite sweet and a grand journey through ruffled sleeves, mean old ladies and tall strong handsome gentlemen. One of which being the lovely Jamie Bell... he's not THAT tall, but it still counts.

Nerd Crush = Ben Schwartz

I'm back ya'll! Plague defeated and immune system thriving like the career of a young Arnold Schwarzenegger... post T1...pre T2. What I'm trying to say here is I'm not sick anymore! So I'm giving myself a welcome back present in the form of Ben Schwartz.

He's a talented, tall and frequently fro'd funny man that you will recognize from Parks & Rec and my new favorite half hour splurge House of Lies. He so purdy....


Bonus Jonas: Listen to Ben and Zooey Deschanel's cover of "Tonight You Belong To Me" from The Jerk. There isn't a Jonas brother in it because that would be weird. I just oddly still enjoy the term "bonus Jonas." Look, I don't know ...it rhymes. I like rhyme-y things. Regardless you'll enjoy this.

Finger Puppets

Tell a story and keep your fingers warm at the same time? Why I've never heard of anything so practical! Plus if you are strangely partial to having your fingertips visible... for maybe identification purposes or something, well you can always put them on your toes. Toe puppets! (coming soon to an etsy listing near you) Now go and absorb the cute-ness.

Movie Muse = Where The Wild Things...


"Happiness isn't always the best way to be happy."


Ok, who remembers the drama of sorts that occurred when this movie came out? Raise your hand... because I do! Basically what had happen' was pre release advertisements and an overwhelming amount of excitement from the blog/indie world caused a pit of failure to form in most peoples stomach when they went to finally see Where the Wild things Are in 09. I predicted this! Honestly I did. There's something about too much artificial hype in a movie that can really ruin it for most people. Everyone was making tents and craft and craziness! (Which I secretly loved.) But the movie's plot was very much undercover and it was pretty apparent that people were becoming aggressively excited over a movie that they knew nothing about plot wise. This is a rant...sorry, but it's only because I LOVED this film when I saw it back then and still to this day am on the verge of tears every time I watch it. Point being, don't get too involved with the hype yall! (pimp walks out of the room)

6 Ways To Wear It = Leggings

Oh January 2nd, such a day of reckoning! Today is the day of New Years attacks on pie and turkey and stuffing. (Mmm stuffing...) I don't know if it's because Tif and I brought in the New Year yesterday by watching Grease and Bridesmaids or because I too am feeling the post holiday chubs, but Mama's got some 2012 workouts planned and yes I will be adding "Let's Get Physical" to my treadmill playlist. Here's 6 Ways to wear leggings, so now none of us have an excuse to not look ab-fab strutting into that 24 Hour Fitness. Go Team!
