Guess who's BACK!!

Hello World Wide Peeps! I have been away for quite some time so I will save you the why, what for and just jump right in like I've been here all along! Here is my everythingandnothing2it updates....

The holidays were phenomenal! My New Year's came and went (I do not make resolutions).

I do have some news to share that is still kind of OLD news but whatevs, I have gots to loose weight(don't you dare move your cursor to the browser to change this page!) but I am approaching it a little different this go round. 

Have you ever watched a television commercial a zillion times and NEVER pay attention well that was me and the Special K commercial. you know the one where everyone steps on a scale and they're afraid of the number popping up but instead you get..

Well suffice it to say MINE does not say Joy, or Confidence or Courage mine says..

If you can not see it says 207.2, I was 215 with my little lady who is now 18 months so the excuse of "I just had a baby" is feeling a little weird.

So my first update will be Wednesday, February 6th! Wish me luck! 

Comment below and let me know how much you've missed me, a girl could use a little love!! XOXOXOXO 

WORDLESS WEDNESDAYS

For some time I've seen the wordless Wednesday posts on other blogs and I thought, "self?" and self said "huh," "do we take enough pictures for such a thing..." Well self and me agree who cares. So below is my interpretation of Wordless Wednesday...

The sunset on the lake, calming

Driving and the sunlight through the clouds reminds me that things Always get better.

Every anniversary we write vows and read them to one another.

I do because I can. Making the little lady shoes all her own.

Throw this song on and you're guaranteed to want to dance, but no dancing required. lol

What are some of your wordless Wednesday photos??

WHAT A NEW.......

Hello Lovelies, I am an online member of #BLMgirls (bloggers like me) as a woman who was never really apart of any clubs or groups I feel connected and dare I say bonded with some of the ladies even though I have never meet a one! There are oftentimes a BLM meetup in various cities and unfortunately I live in the Wild, Wild, West Ahhhhh (cue music) no really I live in Upstate, NY and the closest meetup is FIVE hours away (violin keep on playing, lol) so I thought about a great way to meet them without actually being in their presence, and "WHAT A NEW" was born! 

WHAT A NEW friend I have, WHAT A NEW way to look at things, WHAT A NEW vibrant energy, WHAT A NEW ____<<<<insert here. 

SO FIRST UP INTRODUCING....A NEW ARTIST!

Mrs. Rochelle Washington of Lithia Springs, GA. My fellow #BLMGirl has not one but two blogs.Check them out below the post

So without further ado below is a look into the mind of Rochelle.

Describe yourself using three adjectives: 

Creative. Passionate. Musical.

What has been your greatest obstacle to overcome as a blogger:  

My greatest obstacle to overcome as a blogger has been myself.  I have my moments where I want everything other bloggers have at once, followers, advertising, sponsorships  etc.  I just need to embrace where I am and work on growing my blog.

If I opened your fridge at this very moment what would have the oldest expiration date: 

Probably mayo.  I hate mayo and use it as sparingly as possible.

If you had to tell your 18 year old self one word to explain her at ____(current age) what would it be:  

Learning

Has Blogging changed your life, how, if not why:  

Blogging has changed my life in the sense that it has opened me up to possibilites that otherwise I would not have imagined.  Crafting wise, it has allowed me to share my crafts with other crafters and participate in some great things.  Lifestyle blog wise, I've gained more confidence and pride in myself as a woman by chronicling and sharing what my daily life is like.  Being able to go back and read what I've written is a living diary helping me improve and also appreciate my journey.

Your favorite made up word and please use it in a sentence:   

"Good in my Soul".  Girl, I just ate the best meal, it was good in my soul!

What would you say to the person or people who raised you:  

To my mother I would say:  Thank you for allowing me to be expressive and raising me to be an independent and free thinker.  The morals, values and culture that you poured into me is with me daily and I consider it an honor to have been raised by such a dedicated, giving, polished and elegant woman such as you.  You are my blue print for motherhood and I can't thank you enough for being a constant reminder of what finer womanhood is.

Isn't she AwesomeSauce!! Thank you Rochelle for being my first (hehehe) and breaking the ice with me, I was really nervous about this project but you've made it simply put, Easy peasy!

Now I have to go I've got food on the stove, lol

Check out her wonderful creative and inspirational side, let her know Mrs.everythingandnothing2it sent ya!

WEEKEND WRAP UP

 Happy Monday ladies and gents below is THE WEEKEND WRAP UP...

My little lady starting swim and it. was. a. disaster. she hollered for the first 5 minutes in the water, I get out and try to get her back in, oh no ladies and gents Miss.Mikayla wasn't having it but boy did she look adorable in her swimsuit!

 After swim we had some pumpkin action and it was a ball, she truly enjoyed the farm, I would have never thought so I'm a bona-fide city gal!

the big kid helping out his sister.

 she fell in love with the oddly shaped and bumped pumpkin that's as tall as her. when we put it in the cart she kept watching it like "you better not leave it!"

Then I decided I really wanted to go dancing so that's what I did....almost..kinda...sort-of..okay I went to the CLUB! lol

So mad my shoes aren't in here because they are my new favorite! Below are the new beauties.

Skirt: H&M Shirt: Forever 21 Shoes: DSW

Me leaving the club early, these old bones couldn't hang

Lastly, Sunday was church, youngest boy child football game, Sunday dinner, guests from church and a DYI fall centerpiece..Phew are you tired?

The beginning of hopefully a wonderful centerpiece, then again I may put the apples back in my fridge.

WHAT'S YOUR WEEKEND WRAP-UP. PLEASE DO TELL!

SEVENTY / THIRTY

Hello my fellow readers, my how long it's been. How the heck is everyone (feel free to comment and truly answer this question). I've missed the updating but I must be honest I needed the time away to "recharge". With that being said I am giving you all an UPDATE!

I chopped off all of my hair....Well the majority of it. The above photo is me feeling good and free and the below picture is of me (the old length) and my wonderful sister-in-law sporting our "borrowed" tiaras. 

My "pout" is a hot mess. SMH.

Back to my post title...I went to a wonderful entrepreneurial workshop in PA and one of the guest speakers was a doctor and she gave me a punch to the gut! Seventy / Thirty...Seventy / Thirty....ONLY THIRTY PERCENT OF WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU PHYSICALLY IS GENETIC OR PRE-DISPOSED TO, THE OTHER SEVENTY IS WHAT WE DO TO OURSELVES!! 

I'll wait and let that marinate! It hit me like a ton of bricks because in my mind of excuses, I can't loose weight because my family this or my family that. NOPE Mrs. Thang you aren't loosing weight because of what YOU do!

So my lovely readers, Mrs. Everythingandnothing2it is GETTING IT TOGETHER!!

Missed you all like Sunday Morning, see you soon and make sure you find a reason to say AWESOMESAUCE!

Snoop "Lion" Dogg Concert Review

I was very reluctant to attend a Rap concert with my husband, because I am a die-hard neo-soul fanatic and quite frankly unless it was in heavy rotation on the radio I have no clue about Rab music. But I wanted a night out with the Mister so I entertained his idea, this is Mrs.everythingandnothing2it's take on the Mr.D-O-Double G....


YelaWolf was the opening act....

This was the crowd with a few die hard fans in front.


The doors opened at 6pm, we are almost always fashionably late so true to form we arrived at CMAC around 7:45pm, the opening act didn't come on until around 8:10pm.I believe as a promoter your emphasis should be on customer satisfaction had it not been for the "Box" we were lucky to be in and the constant barrage of GREAT individual attention I would have been completed annoyed and "Reasty to go"(I know reasty is spelled wrong auto check). 


Around 9:15pm still no sign of snoop the crowd began to really fill in the space....and then I. Couldn't. Breathe. I am not sure how many Rap concerts are like this but we were outdoors and yet there still was NO fresh air, then I look on stage and his band-mates, his hype crew, EVERYONE Lighting and passing. That place wrecked of Ganja. Needless to say when Snoop came on at 9:30pm the crowd was amped and so was I(I think I caught a contact).


I am going to leave you with a snippet of his last song and a my final review. Snoop is AWESOME, he reminds me of one of my uncles who without effort is just cool and full of don't worry be happy(Hey Uncle Eric). He delivered with every song and you got a feeling that he truly loves his fans. I do have to say during a couple songs "Uncle Junebug" comes out and dances and I believe his Unc left with a couple "groupies," lol. Despite changing my clothes in the garage and washing my hair immediately AND not getting home until almost 1am I'd DO IT ALL AGAIN!!! Awesome company, good food, great company and seeing the Mister enjoy himself is all that I can ask for!!

It may be loud so be cautious, if you're at work!


happy Friday!!! LIVING YOUNG AND WILD AND FREE!!!

Outfit

The Long awaited outfit post,this was for the Snoop "Lion" Dogg concert. Check out my review......

The shirt is from Forever 21 and the shorts are a homemade concoction that I got a little scissor happy with and the patchwork...needs a little work, lol.

The shorts came from this inspiration...

The problem with this is that A)I am too grown for inappropriate lengths and to cut my jeans to expose my pockets, let's just say inappropriate is being nice.B)My thighs aren't quite ready for all that exposure so I was going for a medium look.I cut the outside of the pocket and "exposed" the pocket.I think next time I will just sew it so it looks like a patch and not....

The shoes are a play off the Louboutin "illusion" shoe except it's a LuLu shoe and it cost $18.95 (with coupon, plus shipping). I have to say it was comfortable to walk in but it was plastic and let's just say my feet had their own sauna.Luckily for the me we were in a VIP area of the concert and I could discreetly take them off, proceed to pat them down and then place back on feet.Once I got back home I noticed that there were holes in the side so maybe I was just partying too hard.... 


HAPPY FRIDAY LOVE BUGS, REMEMBER TO FIND A REASON TO SAY "AWESOMESAUCE"!!! Trust it makes everything feel better.

Life Happens......Moving On!!!

Lately I've been feeling a little..well a lot ho-hum and I just wanted to say hello to all of the people who "blog-watch," subscribe or pass through and were wondering what was going on with me.


There are times when life can be great yet you still have moments where all you want to do is be still and do nothing, well that was me for the last week. I also was feeling like I needed to reach out to some people who were on my mind and I was a little disappointed in the results leading me to go back on my word(letting go and giving it to GOD) but all is well now and surprisingly my blog brought one of them to me, which was really funny she said "I had to Google you because you didn't leave a number" lol......I'm on Google(I'm about to Google me RIGHT NOW!). I am not sure if we'll ever be how we were but I am..dare I say it...EXCITED to see what will happen. 


Here is where I insert my words of wisdom, Instead I will do it in pictures...

This is the tattoo that I have on my foot.


God forgiven me, people have forgiven me and I believe everyone deserves to be forgiven.


I am picking myself up by the bootstraps and I am brushing myself off and I am moving on but I wanted to send you all a quick hello and let you know I have some posts coming up. So don't give up on me, stick around for some funny and interesting things, from my perspective of course.


The photo below would not rotate and then I thought well this is perfect because I have been feeling a little sideways so deuces!!

This may be funny to only me but........

Remember this clutch under my arm........

So this weekend the Hubster took me out to easily one of my favorite spots of all time. so as you see above I am dressed in something very nice. I have made a personal life statement to NEVER suck in my stomach again...BUT I never said I wouldn't wear spanx! So that is what this dressed needed.

This is the restaurant.

About half way through the above meal can anyone guess what was going on???? The spanx was failing BIG TIME, so unknown to the hubby I decide to excuse myself and try and be extra sexy and do....(you all can figure it out i'm sure)

Well when I returned to the table I noticed that the clutch (from above) wouldn't close all the way so I placed it on the chair and pulled my chair in I very nicely leaned over and told the hubby what I had done to which he says "WHAT!!" (that was completely hilarious to me because in the movies it's usually a different reaction)

Anywho the night goes on we get ready to head back and for some reason I notice that my clutch is now able to CLOSE!!! WTFF(what the flying f***)! At one point during our evening there was a much older gentlemen who I thought lost his dentures or something because he stooped down, picked something up and kept it moving. NOW I KNOW WHAT HE PICKED UP!! 

I decided to share because at the time I didn't tell Hubster, I actually didn't tell him until today and he laughed so hard, I thought it would only be funny to me.. SMH and a lot creeped out! It was a nice pair too.

Birthday Weekend..woot! woot!

Disclaimer: photo heavy post ahead, you've been warned!




Happy Monday lovelies, I am giving you ladies and gents a glimpse into my birthday weekend!!


I am truly in love with an area called Conesus Lake (It is about 35minutes from our home), we ventured into the area for Father's day to have dinner at a very lovely place called Conesus Inn and I've never looked back so to speak.

 (the view from the beach)


For those who do not truly know me here is an insight on the inner workings of Mrs. Wright, I am a mom, wife, sister, friend, co-worker, confidant, entrepreneur, cousin etc. etc. but most importantly I am SHENISE first and I sometimes need my space. So when Mr. Hubster asked what I would like for my birthday I said, time to myself, no kids, no phone, just me to do as I please. well as you all saw on my birthday I was surrounded by love(no complaints here) so it NEVER crossed my mind that he listened Well....................He did and he got me a room on CONESUS LAKE at a bed & breakfast and let me tell you it was Awesomesauce! 

(These shoes are smoking so I guess we'll get a fine, lol)

(I am always happy to see a white bathroom because if it isn't a clean establishment it will show on anything white!)


I sat by the water and ate. I got to read a book, take a real nap, for those of you who aren't parents a real nap is when you can fully let your subconscious go and sleep, when you are a parent and the kids are around TRUST you may think we're fully asleep but we never are!! It was such a fulfilling experience and just what the doctor ordered. 

(shoe shopping, reading and alone time. that's what i'm talking about)






But the cherry on top was that he came back some hours later and took me to dinner at Conesus Inn. Talk about some good food and good company. 

(this meal was absolutely fantastic, we couldn't finish it all but the leftovers was just as good!)

We ended the night with some drinks and dancing at a local nightspot Beachcombers which was behind the bed & breakfast.
