How To: Survive a Rainy Day

Just a reminder (or if you are new, an FYI)- Sean's two cents are put in italics.

Jessica's important opinions are in normal font.

Well hello there! Today, the weather is quite gloomy in the old KY.

My dogs even know what that means.

We decided that we would create a how-to post on surviving a gloomy day!

Hope you enjoy!

Jessica thought it was story time and decided to read the book to me, as well. I made her put the book away so we could eat a delicious meal!

He is so insensitive! :( 

Step 1: Make food!

I made boca burgers and mac&cheese! Jessica read the whole time.

I promise, dear Sean, I will make you a meal next time!

Next, enjoy your food! Don't be shy, dig in!

 There were still some harsh feelings about her reading.

Alright, control yourself. 

Step 2: Have a marathon of your favorite television show!

Ten hours+ of television never killed anybody, right?

Some televisions shows that we watch on Netflix are Skins UK, Weeds, 30 Rock...

Umm... sorry, we aren't really up-to-date with all of the cool shows you kids are watching these days.

Spongebob is still cool, right?

Imaaaaginaaation!!!

Step 3: Make espresso!

You are going to be tired after burning your eyes out with all of that TV!

Remember kids, Caffeine is your friend. 

Look how energized we look!

Instead of watching a marathon, we could go run one! (Not really...)

Step 4: Get on Youtube!
Here are our favorite channels!

Step 5: Read our blog, and share with all your friends, families, pets, the people that you went to high school with but never knew existed -- really, just anybody!

Thank you for reading! We love you!

LUSH Fresh Face Mask Time!

Hello readers-so-far-that-we-are-eternally-grateful-for!

I know I already posted pictures of us using this mask, but we wanted to devote a whole post to it, because we both agree that it is quite wonderful! First of all, we love going to LUSH because they have all natural, handmade cosmetics and mostly everything smells amazing. This is the third Fresh Face Mask that we have tried, besides Cupcake and Brazened Honey.

 Here is what the container looks like! 

At the store, you get them out of a little refrigerator and they are made fresh, so they only last about three weeks. 

 Here is a lovely picture of me applying the mask!

I was just trying to pass the time until I had a chance to put the mask on. 

 And a ravishing photo of me with the mask on!

 It feels so good on the skin because you leave it in the fridge, and it is cold and refreshing when you put it on!

 The coldness and lavender/minty smell of the mask made the slight headache I had disappear.

You leave it on for about 10-15 minutes, but we usually forget to time it.

When you wash it off, it works as a great exfoliator!

 Look how shiny and pretty my skin looks now!

It felt so soft and smooth!

 It makes the skin feel awesome!

Also, it doesn't irritate it at all or cause any redness. 

Overall this mask is absolutely wonderful and we love it!

Farewell! Thank you for reading and viewing!

Now we are off to enjoy the delightful day! 

xoxo

Hyde Park Adventure

Hello! Jessica here, and this will be our first collaborative post!

Sean here, and I will be typing in italics!

Today we went to Hyde Park to try a new frozen yogurt place.

AKA "fro-yo". 

Here it is in all of its neon glory! 

On the way there Jessica said, "The sizes are small they are only 10 oz., that is like a little more than half a cup." I was like, "Wait.... don't you mean it is a little more than a cup?" 

Hahaha! Oh, the little brain-farts we have!

 Mine is on the left!

And mine is on the right!

 I focused on the chocolates, because that is where it's at!

The frozen yogurt flavors are: Red Velvet, New York Cheesecake, and Chocolate.

The toppings are oreos, coconut shavings, chocolate chips, and brownies!

The flavors I got are: coconut, strawberry, and peach-mango tart. 

The toppings are: strawberry, mangoes, and pineapple.

No chocolate for me, it wasn't that time of month.

(A fruity treat for a very fruity guy).

 First bite -- it was delicious!

It was sooooo amazing. 
Usually, I don't like deserts, but when I do I really like them!

 Then we decided to walk around Hyde Park.

I was looking at a car driving by, and Sean was... well I don't know what he was doing.
I was trying to have a picture where it didn't look like we were posing!
Obviously,  I just looked awkward!

 This was pretty!
Summer days are the best days!

 Interesting art from the Taft Museum.
Art 4 All(I could be wrong on the name) is the project that displays art throughout the city.

 Fountain!

 A girl can dream... right?
Sweety, dreams are for the fairy tales.

I love finding new Flying Pigs! Just one of Cincinnati's many charms I guess.

(I'm kidding)

I secretly wanted to take a picture riding the pig. 

Doesn't it look like it's going to charge?

Then we went to Eden Park, where I discovered the Panorama feature on my camera.

Ahem, I discovered that a long time ago, slow poke.

I was very deep in thought, so deep I can't really remember. 

A lovely panorama of Kentucky, our home state!

Well, there you have it!

I hope you enjoyed these pictures, it was a perfect relaxing and fun day!

Buh bye now!

 Y'all come back now. Ya hear!

Sean's First Post

Thank you Jessica for the first post, now it's my turn! 

You can't go to King's Island without getting a blueberry ice cream!

 In my pictures you might notice a lot are of food, but food is awesome!

Maifest was held in Mainstrasse, a historic part of Covington. 

If you enjoy people watching- go to Maifest!

FIYAAA!! We love to play with fire, but we do so safely(if that is possible haha). 

Unfortunately, I have a slight addiction to coffee and the Iced Dirty Chai is my fix.
We do go to Starbucks a lot (free refills are awesome), but this drink comes from Windmill.

I got this delicious desert, a Nutella Marble scone, which was made by our friend Abby.
 F.Y.I. she is an awesome baker!

As Jessica told you, Mitchie is a bit wild and killed a mole.
After we wanted to hide the evidence; so. she got a bath. 

Darling-she has the utmost level of sophistication.

The night we did our face masks we watched Never Been Kissed. The the next day Jessica, her dad, and brother came into the Danbarry(where I work) to watch 21 Jump Street. After, I got off work I went to watch it with them. During the movie, I realized that the two movies were similar! Here is why:

1. James Franco in Never Been Kissed  and Dave Franco in  21 Jump Street 

2. They both have adults going undercover in a high school

I told Jessica when I realized and she was like, "Whoa! That is weird,"(not her exact words haha).    Also, we both can't deny that the Franco's are very attractive. We tried to share the epiphany with her brother, but he didn't quite appreciate it as much as us. 

Hopefully, you enjoyed my post! Once, we get catched up the posts shouldn't be as massive!

Jessica's First Post- Our Summer So Far

It has been nine days since we both graduated high school! 
Here are some photos and some stories about what we have done so far together with our time!

 The day after the last day of high school, a bunch of seniors went to Kings Island.

Here is Sean being his natural self in a costume shop.

 This is me being... me.

 I'd like to say we were cool and got a picture during a crazy ride, but this is just us pretending to be scared while riding one of the least-intimidating rides at Kings Island... 
Top Gun (I don't know the real new name for it).

 The next night we met our friend Katie in Covington to experience a lovely event called Maifest...

There was vomit, fighting, people passing out, and other fun sights.

 But oh, it did bring some nostalgia for the times when fair rides were actually exciting.

 This was during Sean's graduation party at his sister's house.
 Her dog had puppies and they looked like little polar bears.
I could have cried of happiness! 

 The next day we drove to Cincinnati.

We went to Whole Foods and had a nice lunch. 
 Vegan Veggie Pizza (The cheese was not real cheese, I was confused!) 
Honest Tea - Mango Acai Flavor (Yum!)

 A 6-word memoir on my Honest Tea Cap

Hmm, I am thinking of one for myself...

"Unclever girl trying to be clever"?

Yep, sounds about right.

 Oh yeah, we drink a lot of starbucks...

Sean has the Rewards card so we get a million free refills every time we go.

Sean had a lot of leftover s'mores from his party, so we have eaten s'mores every night since then.

We decided to use our Fresh Face Mask from Lush (the best store ever!) that night.
This is called Love Lettuce... Appetizing, right?

Attractive, I know.

 

 The next day, Harry Potter was on, and we had to watch it!
Oh, Neville... ;)

 Then, after spending the entire morning cooped up inside, we decided to head to a local coffee shop called Windmill.
 Our friend Abby was working, it was nice to see her in all of her cheery delightfulness.
 I got the Almond Oolong Blossom Tea, it was refreshing and delicious!

 Then we went back to Sean's and he made vegetarian chili cheese coneys! 

He is a vegetarian BTW, and he loves making new vegetarian meals.

These were fantistico!

 I painted my nails with my new cheapo nail polish!
 Looks like I never did learn how to stay inside the lines...

 Meet Sean's dog, the adorable, crazy, tiny Mitchie! 
She may look so prim and proper, but the day before she had killed a mole  in their backyard!

 Sean got a haircut, looking fresh like always!

 Me looking crazy like always!

 Two nights ago we made a fire on my drive way... not exactly the smartest thing to do, but it was cool!

 And of course we made more s'mores!

 Yesterday morning, I was cranky and in need of coffee!

 But Sean had to venture to the mall to get pants.

By the way, we live in Florence, KY. This is our landmark if you didn't know

...and the reason I grew up thinking that water towers were called y'alls.

...I still believe it.

 We traded up our usual iced coffee for some passion tea because it was extremely hot that day!

We also tried some cake pops! Raspberry Truffle- they were wonderful!

Then last night Sean came over after work with a greasy face and greasy Chinese food.

(He works at a movie theater so that explains the face grease)

Well, there you have it. Not the best ending for my first post.

But I hope you enjoyed reading and looking at our lives!

Next time, I will make my post smaller and more focused.

Until then, cheers! xx
