My angel. (IG @ramshackleglam)

I spent a few days last week visiting my in-laws in Ohio so they could spend some time with the kids, and do you know what I got to do while I was there? See a movie. By myself. And then take a casual stroll around Old Navy. BY MYSELF. (I picked up the floral henley pictured on my daughter above and a collared shirt that my son might actually deign to wear.)

 One more thing I found on that Old Navy trip (and the only reason I haven't mentioned this perfection yet is that it deserves its own post, but I have been extremely unphotogenic for the past four days so...eh, let's just do it): this absolutely must-have long-sleeved top. It is entirely unexciting, but is also now the only thing in my closet that I want to wear. It is 100% cotton, and soft, and the perfect shape, and cozy, and goes with everything, and you need to own it. Especially since it's like ten bucks. (Really.)

Um That Is An Alligator

Honey Island Swamp | New Orleans

We started our second day in New Orleans on a party bus - as all good days should obviously start - and drove out to Honey Island Swamp for a close encounter with some alligators. And when I say "close encounter," I mean hi that alligator is twelve inches away and slamming against our boat because he REALLY would like to eat that marshmallow and right now thanks. Fortunately, the alligators were way more interested in said marshmallows than in our fingers (which we were nevertheless warned to please keep inside the railings, as they apparently “look like hot dogs”).

Fingers behind the railings. Check.

When Kendrick and I first decided to drive across the country to get to our new home in California, we each made a wishlist of can't-miss places. First on his list was New Orleans, a city that each of us had only been to once before (and both only very briefly), and that we'd always talked about visiting together. So we sat down and mocked up our drive, calculating hours and miles and distances we'd need to travel to have everything make sense...and realized that we couldn't make New Orleans happen.

48 Hours In LA

Kendrick's Shirt | 7FAM Cutoffs | Drybar Blowout (woooo)

I'm in LA, woo! I'm off to a full day of shooting pickups for the show I've been working on (pickups are basically little inserts that you shoot after an episode is done to tie together the storyline, fill in any elements that were missed during the first go-round, etc), and I completely did not write a post for today because I expected yesterday to be not especially busy and then it was super busy and then I decided to hang out with my friends and do tarot readings instead of be responsible.

And now I have three minutes to do my makeup and put on clothing and get in an Uber, so oops. Come hang out with me on Instagram Stories or Snapchat; I'm all about the videos this trip.
