The Five 6.8

While the official hue of the season is Tangerine Tango I've been seeing lots of great pieces in crisp and refreshing mentha spicata. Since I'll be forced to endure 90 degree temps this weekend I'll break out my Mentha Vitamin Body Lotion for a little tingle and some spearmint accessories to at least appear cool!

My 5 minty accessory picks:




Spearmint looks especially luxurious when paired with small touches of gold (as with the ring pictured above) and a pretty pink lip!

Happy Weekend!

The Five 5.11

It was a very good week...

Most Talkative by Andy Cohen was released on Tuesday and I'm super excited to read it! I'm obsessed with all things Bravo and I loves me some Watch What Happens Live. Andy has been promoting his book which lead him to a fantastic appearance on the Howard Stern show...two of my favorites collide!!!

I'm a HUGE fan of Howard Stern and this week has been a big treat for Stern fans everywhere. His media tour to promote the new season of America's Got Talent has given us tons of great clips from talk shows like The View, Jimmy Fallon and The Today Show. I cannot wait to see Howard on AGT starting Monday, May 14th.

I try to avoid political topics on NWS but I'm strongly for gay marriage. I was extremely pleased with Obama's statement on the matter this week. Well done Mr. President.

For the last year I've been enjoying a reprieve from a nine to five job and I've loved nearly every minute of it. This week I did something I had never done before: I attended a weekday TinCaps baseball game at 11:05am! It was glorious and I felt so free...I won't forget that feeling anytime soon.

Last but not least: Mother's Day is this weekend and I want to give a hearty HOLLA to all the fantastic Moms I know. I've been "Mumma" for 4 years and it is NO JOKE. The extreme love I feel for my little guy coupled with the pressure of raising a happy, healthy and respectful child is the craziest combo but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

ps - If you know me at all you know I'm obsessed with the number 5 so it should come as no surprise that I love to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Tomorrow is also the Kentucky Derby so I'm doubly excited! I'm planning on drinking margaritas from my julep cup or maybe a mint julep from a margarita glass. Either way, I'm drinking...and how!
