February 22, 2013 by Lofthouse

February 2013 marks our first time visiting Magic Market Week, in Las Vegas.

Here are a few pictures of our time in Vegas- both business and pleasure! Spring break has officially started for my class… so we […]

Tucson Buying Trip

February 5, 2013 by Lofthouse

Short and sweet were the two words to describe my trip to Tucson, AZ. I had the pleasure of accompanying a friend at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. This was my first out of town buying-trip experience. My brain was a sponge, taking in every ounce of information. I absolutely loved every minute of the trip, whether it was buying, or creating some fabulous memories with my darling friend. This was the perfect trip, in preparation for MAGIC, in […]

Tumblr

January 25, 2013 by Lofthouse

We dump all of our photographs on tumblr. One of those places where you don’t feel like you’re annoying your friends with insignificant pictures; however, a place they won’t go completely to waste. I (Jen) just started attending a photostyling class… and it’s getting me excited to start snappin’ pics. I have two fashion-related trips (arizona+lasvegas) coming up soon… I’m needing to polish up my skills.

HOME for Christmas!

December 27, 2012 by Lofthouse

What a busy year it has been for both of us. In order to introduce our pup Nanc to the wonderful world of Winnipeg, we decided to make our holiday visit… a road trip! Working up until the last minute, we didn’t have time to check the weather network before venturing off to Chicago, Wisconsin… need we say more? The storm of the Century took us by surprise… but we made it through… and we were not just happy, but […]

INSTA-JLO

December 13, 2012 by Lofthouse

A particular trend that is becoming popular amongst bloggers is posting past instagram photos. I know that I get a little carried away with Instagram, and fully expect my friends to make fun of how often I post; however, it’s a lovely way of staying connected to those back home. We both enjoy filing our families in on the little endeavors we take on daily… not to mention the OOTD… gotta have the OOTD! (That is “Outfit of the Day”, […]
