truth or dare: with becky g!

It's been a little while since I've been able to plan a whole lot of fun with an artist who came into the studio... I was really pumped to get creative with Becky G.

She's been in here before so I knew she'd be down for just about anything. I grabbed some necessary props [lipstick and marshmallows] and we had a lot of fun!

Also.... I learned that I need to figure out how to beatbox.


I felt like I was just playing a round with a good friend... I love that feeling! So thanks to Becky G for being great [and super cute]!

love,

listen to full show podcasts!

My show has been feeling really good lately. There have been some good calls and stories, and my stuttering has been down at least 10%.  Sooo.. coming soon!: My own channel on iHeartRadio! You'll be able to save my "station" on the app and listen to podcasts from the show every day! Neat, right?!

In the meantime, I uploaded some recent shows.

This show is full of all sorts of random stories and information and people making me feel like a slutty idiot.


Back on the 16th, we talked about who you'd haunt after dying and signs that you're officially getting old.



On this day we talked about getting "the birds and the bees" talk. Some people had to live through far too much awkward.



And since we've all heard ridiculous stories of what we did the night before, I decided to hear what everyone else has gotten themselves into.


I don't think that girl with the professor actually knew what I was asking... but that's okay because what she said was perfection.

They're all going to be uploaded to this here page, and I will let ya know as soon as we're officially on iHeart! You can also download them to listen in your car or wherever you please.

i spy: guy is doing some "sensual twerking" for the highway

I was having a really rough couple of days... where I couldn't even escape my thoughts in the studio, which is my happy place. Then... something magical happened. I was driving in and saw this guy putting on a show in front of a pretty major roadway.

Headphones in, ass up. Slow motion. Snap, head flip. and go.


I honestly don't think he knew anyone was watching him. He was just doing his thing! and what a beautiful thing it was for five minutes.

Thank you, Mr Flawless... you turned my week around.

nails: making music with jamberry

Anyone else's nails only look good for a couple weeks at a time before they go to $#!t again?! I don't know why, but I only get my nails long enough to paint for about a month, before I work on growing them out again for another three to four. I need more biotin in my life. 

When the time comes, I do a lot of playing. This time I had to use one of my favorite Jamberry sheets... it had boomboxes or tapes and other fun stuff on it!


To match it, I added an orange polish I got from Five Below [it's nice and thin and rarely chips] and Selena Gomez's "Pretty in Plum" by OPI. The glitter is Essie's "Set in Stones." [I got the Essie and OPI in previous Ipsy bags!]


The Essie glitter chips the easiest. I had to switch out the pinky nail to just purple after 36 hours... but it's still looking fabulous!

Also... be on the lookout for a Jamberry giveaway coming within the next 7 days!

pinspired outfit: fall is for flannel

Remember when I used to do a bunch of Pinspired things?! That seems like a lifetime ago. Let's do it again. Sorta. 

I saw this pin and even though the jeans she's wearing are a very light blue, I decided that white jeans and flannel is a great idea.

I definitely like the light colored boots better, but with my flannel, black was the way to go.

-flannel from Target
-jeans from JustFab
-booties from Forever21



I don't wear watches that often because I normally end up taking them off while working. They just get in the way! This one is the exception, though.. and I'm not just saying that because it was given to me. The silicon is soft and flexible, and the watch is waterproof! PLUS... they're totally unisex. 

Check them out! They're offering you 10% off with code "elizabethany" ! 

Now... I want to get more flannels. Does that make me basic?

what i'm wearing: end of summer catch up

It's time for another catch up with outfit pics on my phone from the end of the summer. 



I feel like I can wear shorts longer than I can wear tank tops. My arms get so much more cold than these meaty lower limbs. The cutout booties are perfect for transitioning too, I feel.

-green shirt jacket from Kohl's
-shorts from Kohl's
-floral tank from Forever21
-booties from Charlotte Russe

Wore this out to host one of my club nights [which I'll be hosting at Ultrabar again on October 24th, BTW]. Rocked the fanny, and became obsessed with the "scuba" material of the skirt. 

-open back top from Forever21
-neon skirt from Forever21
-shoes from Charlotte Russe
-fanny pack from Charlotte Russe
-bandeau from H&M


This is one of my new favorite outfits. It's a high neck tank, but it's sheer and has an open back. I feel like I can get away with it at work with a tank underneath [really I can get away with anything, but I like to look 50% presentable] and then I switch to a bandeau when heading out. 

-top from GoJane
-Express jeans
-wedges from Charlotte Russe

Now begins fall fashion. *sigh* I love the ease of scarf and boot season, but feeling hott when heading out is a lot more difficult, don't ya think?! Plus it's a lot more laundry and articles of clothing to match together. SO MUCH WORK.

wearing: a diy peplum top

What do you do when you get an article of clothing that fits pretty well, but is see-through or the wrong color or something? You dye it, duh.

I was forever looking for a white peplum shirt and got one from ASUS that fit well, but it was so see through and any tanks underneath looked ridiculous. When I realized it was too late to return it, I decided to just try and dye it.

Even though the threading didn't change colors, I love the way it turned out! And now I think I'll become addicted to dying things custom colors.

-peplum top from ASUS
-floral jeans from Forever21
-grey suede pumps from H&M
-necklace from Charlotte Russe


I still can't decide if the peplum shape is flattering or not on me. Honest opinions are very welcome. 

Also... I'm trying to get every last day out of tanks before I have to start pairing them with jackets every day. That's annoying.

influenster box: victoria's secret sport clothes

Have you signed up for Influenster yet?! The boxes seem to keep getting better! This time; a bra and pants from Victoria's Secret's Sport line! [They also sent a stack of coupons to hand out to friends!]

I've never wanted to post a "here's my workout bod" picture, but, well... I gotta show you how these things are!



Why does someone need cleavage while working out?! This sports bra actually gave me boobs, and I'm not used to that. [Okay, not huge ones... but they exist.] I thought you were supposed to look like the president of the itty bitty titty committee at the gym...?!

Welp.... I kinda liked the look of it, and it didn't feel like a real bra like I expected it too. As for the pants: they tucked everything in good and tight while staying comfortable. 

I think I'm more than happy with these freebies.... but it's still crazy to me to spend $50 on a sports bra. Give me more coupons and I'll buy a whole collection.

love,
elizabethany

PS I'm mad I have a whole lighting/tripod set up behind me, and I still resorted to a phone selfie. I'm lazy. Or busy. Whatever you wanna believe.

watch etv: playing hi my name is with kim cesarion

Kim Cesarion: Super swaggerific Swede with a really fun and underrated song.

He came in to perform and I invented a new game that is like Heads Up or charades, but with old fashioned paper.

The people that I had to act out had to have been rigged. It was out of control.


I should probably work on having nicer things to say but like... IT'S NOT MY FAULT I HAD TO ACT OUT PEOPLE WHO SUCK. I promise honesty in my opinions, so....

And seriously, that falsetto at the end! What a talented dude.

the everyday struggles of a former big booty girl

Once upon a time, I had one of the most magnificent butts. It was a part of my gymnast body. Small-small-small up top then BAM. A booty of 100% muscle.

Then.... I got fat, then lost the weight... and along with it, my ass.

Some people worry about losing their flat abs they once had, I'm pissed no one is calling my butt "its own planet."

I've noticed some other friends of mine have also lost their signature body part, so I'm assuming people can relate to this list. If you can't, at least you can feel my everyday pain and torture.
  • Songs like "All About That Bass" or "Baby Got Back" come on and at first you're all YEEEAAAHHHH THIS IS MY JAM... before quickly realizing that you should sit your non-ass down and shut up. 
  • You crop pictures not because you're fat, but because you're flat
  • When someone else is told their ass is nice or big, you feel immediate [not slightly justified] hate for that person.
  • Finding jeans or size small bottoms that actually fit bothers you. 
  • You try every "booty boot camp" exercise, and get frustrated when they don't work immediately.
  • You're constantly looking at your profile in the mirror trying to convince yourself there's still something there.
  • Looking back on old pictures doesn't hurt because you miss your friends... you miss your badonk. 
  • You have to endlessly search for jeans that will give it an illusion of being bigger and rounder, something it used to do on its own.
  • You feel like you're going through an identity crisis because WHAT WILL YOU BE KNOWN FOR NOW?!
  • You know your body has absolutely nothing to offer now.
  • It takes everything in your being to admit it... if you ever do.
All good things must come to an end, I guess... and pictures like this must be retired.
