Can you be both crunchy and fabulous at the same time? I know so because this is me: Funkidivagirl. I shop almost exclusively at Whole Foods and believe that yes, organic foods are better for you. My children slept in the family bed, I nursed them both well beyond their second year of life and I birthed one of them at home. I have dreadlocks. That’s the crunchy me.
But I also like some BLING! Peace signs are my favorite icon, but they are even better covered in Swarovski crystals. I don’t consider myself a shopper, but somehow they know me in Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s. Free People, Lucky Brand, Betsy Johnson, Juicy Couture and Anthropologie are my favorite brands/places to shop. I am also a beauty product junkie; Sephora is one of my favorite stores and I’m always searching for the perfect mascara and lip-gloss. The fabulous me!
I am a stay-at-home mom, but that is what they call an oxymoron, as I am never at home. I have been married for over 15 years and have a teenaged son and ‘tween daughter. Both of my kids are brilliant and beautiful and really expensive to keep. I live in the South, by way of the Northeast, by way of the West, by way of the Midwest. But I plan to move to the beach and become a surfer as soon as the above-mentioned crumb snatchers move out of my wallet. I will take my husband with me; he’s cool even though he is irrationally afraid of birds.
I have an uncanny ability to remember lyrics to a frightening number of songs. Even obscure grocery store loudspeaker ones. Or sappy sentimental ones, which I hate. I haven’t figured out how to parlay this skill into a beach house, but I’m sure it’s marketable somehow. I love cartoons, but not politics and certainly not political cartoons. I am very opinionated and not afraid to say so!
I am starting this Lifestyle Blog because my husband, who is a social media Big Wig, made me. He thinks that I have a lot to say. Or maybe he just wants me to say it to someone other than him. Either way, I accept my mission: To Save the World From Mediocrity.
