Hi lovelies. I hope you had a great week! This weekend I was housebound with two sick and super cranky teenagers. I spent most of it unpacking boxes and taking care of them while getting a slight case of cabin fever myself. Sure, it's rewarding to see the empty boxes pile up and the house start to feel like home, but after 48 hours of nothing but, I was getting a little crabby too.

While there was no opportunity to offer help in the areas of attire, make-up or hair, I was able to give some last minute chivalry reminders as well as my own two cents on the subject - it...
