First, I'd like to introduce you to some FINE ladies!

I'm Brigitte, the voice behind Vivre L'amour. What makes Vivre L'amour unique is that it is a culmination of fashion, photography, music, lifestyle, and even a few recipes and life inspiration. Readers can expect to see up-to-date, chic, and fashionable outfits, photos of fashion inspiration, aesthetically pleasing scenery, current fashion "trending" style sets, videos straight off the runway, and more!

I love people and I especially love meeting others who share in my common interests of having a passion for fashion! If you like fashion, music, photography, and good food, then feel free to stop by Vivre L'amour and say hello! You can find me on Twitter and Facebook :)

I'm Catalyn, the voice behind Confessions of a Northern Belle. Not to be confused with Northern Belle Diaries. Hmm...what makes me unique? I am a married Yankee with the tendencies of a Southern Belle. I blog about everything from my cat, McMuffin, to my outfits of the day, to what I cooked/drank/ate/watched on a typical day. My blog topics are broad and I hope keep most entertained!

I am awesome. I love to drink wine. And I love to send Lisette pictures of me drinking wine. The ones I get back from her are awesome, too.  I have a weekly Confessions link up, every Wednesday. Stop by, confess, and say hi sometime! You can find me on Twitter and Facebook.

Just Because...you're a DB

Have you ever looked at someone and liked what you saw...despite being otherwise taken?

Don't lie. Everyone has. Whether it's a celebrity or a person in real life...say it it with me: e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e has. If you're still shaking your head 'no,' you're only lying to yourself, so go ahead and leave, 'cuz ain't nobody got time for that. (For the record, my husband has the hots for Sofia Vergara. My celebrity crush changes at the drop of a hat.)

Moving on.

My husband hurt his back recently trying to get our 6lb dog into bed. She backed away when he went to reach for her. So he stretched a little more and pulled a muscle in the process. Ouch. After a day of not getting better, I convinced him to see a doctor. Being relatively new to this area, I picked the first internist who had an opening that same day. Half a mile away from his practice, I notice his picture's on the billboard. Odd, for such a small town.

We arrive and fill out all the necessary paperwork. And wait. Finally we get called back. Then we wait another 20 minutes before the doctor comes in. Just as we're about to complain...

Helloooooo doctor. He's handsome alright, and he knows it. He probably spends at least an hour at the gym every night, and looks about our age. He spends about 10 minutes talking to us about my husband's back injury. Asking him how he hurt it. Where does it hurt? Does it hurt when you do this? Does it hurt when you do that? Etc, etc. It's as if he didn't understand, or if he believed my husband was there to feed some sort of pain meds addiction. Either way, he was getting uglier by the minute. (Yeah right).

20 minutes of questioning later, he finally prescribes some pain medication. As the conversation is winding down, my husband asks the doctor about his finger. The doctor's middle finger was bandaged and had a splint on it. The doctor all of a sudden gets animated and says, "Dude! Oh my God! It was so retarded...." and continues to ramble on.

Um, I'm sorry. Aren't you a doctor? Aren't doctors normally educated on what's OK and what's not OK to say...even on a professional level?! Last time I checked, retarded is not only NOT OK to say on a "politically correctness" level, but it's also NOT OK to say by regular little people like me. 

Doctor X, congratulations, you are officially not attractive anymore. You are now a DB.

I Love Bloglovin' link-up debut

By now you've surely have heard the news. Google Reader is going away on July 1st. There is no mention of GFC disappearing, but it looks highly suspicious when Blogger has moved the "Follower" gadget to the "More gadgets" section in Blogger Layout, and made "Google+ Followers" replace it on the queue.  Very suspicious.

In order to help bloggers transition away from GFC as the main way to follow blogs, Northern Belle Diaries and Postcards from Rachel teamed up to host I Love Bloglovin'. We hope you join us in meeting new bloggers, the new way...through Bloglovin'.
