About

Hey!! I'm Kari and I'm so glad you stopped by to check out my little corner of the world! I love to talk about all kinds of random things - my sweet and dear hubby {David}, my cute little bundle of joy {Ally - my beagle mix}, my home, vacation, clothes, shoes, makeup, beauty products {can you tell I'm a girly girl?}, decorating, and so many other things I like to think people love to read about and hear what I have to say! I am by no means an expert on any of the above topics, but I like to pretend!

This is my second blog and I am going to TRY and attempt to keep this one up and going. Check out my first one here. I wanted a fun and catchy name for my blog and one night when I couldn't fall asleep, I decided to think about some ideas. This just caused me to stay awake even longer :) I wanted a name that had meaning but would still be "cutesy" - is that word? I decided on Cupcakes and Bling because a)I ♥ cupcakes and bling and 2)When David proposed he put the ring inside of a cupcake trinket box. Such a sweet guy! (Did you notice when I listed the reasons I put a) and then 2) - my hubby does this all the time when explaining things to try and be funny so I did that for him - I can be sweet too!)

I am married to the love of my life. We met in 2009 {on mySpace} and married on September 3, 2011. He is my best friend and I like to think I am his best friend too :) We have the most adorable dog, Ally. We adopted her in July of 2011 from a local shelter. She was only 5 pounds. Now, 55 pounds later, she is a handful! She's a beagle mix - I'm sure I will be posting lots of pictures of her in the future :)

I work in the healthcare industry as a Credentialing Specialist. I've been working on the business side of the medical field for almost 7 years now. I work with some amazing girls! (One of them told me to mention them in my blog so I had to throw that in!) Actually, they ARE amazing and I'm sure I will be blogging about them in the future :)

David works in the golf industry - he has been for the past 14 years. We have been together for almost 3 years and he has yet to buy me clubs or take me golfing - I think he's just scared I will be better than him!! He DID take me miniature golfing which I totally kicked his butt at! At least that's how I remember it!! :)

For those of you that don't know, David & I met on MySpace in July of 2009. Yes, that's right...MySpace! Crazy, I know!! After about a week of talking online and on the phone, David drove down to meet me in my hometown and we walked around the lake until the next morning! Now I look back and think "What if he was a crazy person??" Well he was definitely not a crazy person, so we did the long distance thing for 7 months and then in February 2010, I made the move to OKC and we moved in together. We don't like to waste any time! ;-) We still act like we did when we first started dating...it's kind of sickening how much in love we are!! Yes, we're *that* couple! :-)

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people....

Oh, How Pinteresting!

Today, I'm linking up with Michelle over at the vintage apple  for her weekly dedication to us Pinterest-obsessed freaks bloggers!!!  Her blog is awesome and I'm totally jealous...just sayin'!  She hosts this fun little blog link up party where we can all post our favorite pins from the week and share them all in one spot.  How fun is that??    I am completely addicted with Pinterest - check out all my boards here .  Going through my pins, I noticed I am also addicted with anything and everything turquoise at the moment.  So...I figured I'd go ahead and share some my turquoise goodness with you all...enjoy!
