St. Patrick’s Dad

March 17, 2014March 17, 2014 | Viciously Sweet

What stays out all night and is Irish? Dad jokes.

Happy St. Patrick’s day! Have fun be safe and Wang Chung until you have to go to work tomorrow!

The Dr. Pepper High

March 14, 2014 | Viciously Sweet

Some people are wild about sports.

Some people are crazy about fancy eateries.

Some people covet commercial jingles.

I personally delight in the 23 boastful flavors of Dr. Pepper!

I could drink it all the time. I fear that someday I will be discovered passed out with a case around me and a smile on my face.

Combine Dr. Pepper with my back pain pills and I may even laugh at Ashton Kutcher… or more honestly I will just sing Huey Lewis songs.

Girlish Laughter

March 11, 2014 | Viciously Sweet

Eeek!

I haven’t posted anything in approximately 1 forever.

So I have been everywhere in most of California in the last few weeks.

It’s been amazing.

And well I can say one thing I don’t think I have laughed as much as I have in a very long time. And it’s so very good to laugh.

And my laughing accomplice you may ask???

My sister the second most giggly person in my family*

*No one can giggle as much as I can. I may actually be made of 93% giggles.

I hope everyone else out there has had at least one giggle today.

And if you haven’t watch this:

It made me giggle and swoon more than once.

My hair is the worst week: Gilda Radner

March 2, 2014March 2, 2014 | Viciously Sweet

Although my hair like most girls is a constant struggle.

There is always a bright side of a bad hair day:

She has to be one of the best things ever… and she has the biggest hair.

I know I’m a little young to be a fan of Gilda but here is a reason you should be one too:

My hair is the worst week: Pinterest Inspirations

March 1, 2014 | Viciously Sweet

Sometimes I try to conquer my bad hair with knowledge. I leaf through the internet’s tips and suggestions…

And then with enough alcohol and coconut oil… I get brave!

And sometimes it doesn’t work out the way I planned:

This happens every time… and then I just go out with my frizzy hair… and a lot of self confidence.

My Hair is the Worst Week

February 24, 2014 | Viciously Sweet

I have been threatening for a while to make a theme week of doodles… and I thought what could I draw about for a whole week?

And then I thought about the thing that plagues me every morning of every day of my life: MY HAIR!

Everyday I wake up looking like a 1980s hair band member, wrestler, or even King Louis XIV of France. None particular hair dreams.

So lets get this started:

A whole week devoted to the nightmare that is my hair

Keep it together

January 31, 2014 | Viciously Sweet

Clip it all together and keep it in your reach.

I made this last year and I apparently forgot to post it.

I made this during a time when all I was doing felt wrong. And I can tell you it came from frustration and me thinking that I was failing at everything.

Now I am not. I know I am not, and I cannot tell you in words how great it feels.

I am now surrounded by books containing knowledge, and people who are happy to see me. It feels lovely. I rarely think about how I felt at the time I drew this doodle now.

I was anxious. I was nervous. I was wishing to be somewhere else.

Is this all too deep for a Friday?

I hope that everyone can keep it together this weekend… but never forget that there are always paper clips there to help. They could be literal paperclips, binders, staples and what nots… or they could be friends, family, or even Mindy Kaling’s tv show.

I hope that if you need them you find paperclips of your own.

♥Lauren

P.S I have been reading the history of Uppity Women by Vicki Leon and the works of James Thurber. Both are fantastic.
