About Roofresh

My name is Kelsey, not Roofresh, but Roo IS my nickname. I live in the Phoenix area with my husband and we are having fun being newlyweds and going on crazy adventures together. We like finding new hangouts, food, art, music and friends; so that's pretty much what my blog is about. You'll find a bit of fashion, design, nutrition and family sprinkled throughout my content, or anything else that catches my eye at the moment. My blog has changed a lot over the last year, but you'll see that it's really just a record of our lives together; our public journal.

Psst...Have you heard about Jewelmint?

I recently discovered JewelMint, which is unlike any other concept I've participated in first hand. Kate Bosworth and Cher Coulter have started a new jewelry line together that has something for everyone! The fun part about JewelMint is that it's pretty much fashion magazine meets boutique meets personal stylist. Okay so it's not quite the same as having a stylist, but once you create a style profile, you do get suggestions of looks that you may like that are tailored to your personal style.
The awesome thing about the jewelry sold on JewelMint is that it's all unique, quality and I haven't seen any that I haven't liked. How does it work? Sign up, take the style quiz and every month you pick out a piece of jewelry for only $29.99. The way I see it, for an equivalent piece at a department store or boutique, you would be paying a lot more. Plus it's just fun to play around on the website!

JewelMint has offered a exclusive discount code for Roofresh readers for 50% off your first month!


If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you may remember this fun bracelet that I wore earlier in the week; it's the 'Savoy' bracelet that I ordered from JewelMint and I LOVE it. If you're interested in the brand use code fall999 at checkout to receive half off your first month of JewelMint. 
I hope you all take a minute to check it out and maybe even find something that fits your personality!


Keep it real,
Roo

why the heck am i so obsessed with Instagram?

If you have a Facebook, Twitter or any other kind of social media account, you probably know what Instagram is or have seen it before and didn't even realize it. I definitely know what it is because...I'm addicted to it. No, really, I'm pretty sure a doctor would legitimately diagnose it as an addiction. Every picture I take will at some point be Instagram-ized, and I actually look for photo opportunities so that I can feed my addiction. I'm going to show you some examples of how bad it is...don't judge, I'm working on things.
This is a giant pizza and my legs. I thought it was funny, so I Instagramed it.
My baby swimsuit and a battery to show a size comparison. Totally unnecessary.
This would be a soda-pop-top. While it looks pretty cool, it totally did not warrant the time I spent trying to get a clear shot of it in the car.
Gummy Bear...King of the castle, totally legit.
I think this one is my favorite! Ha ha! It is so stupid and pointless, but it makes me laugh that at the time, I found it so important to take a picture of it and explain to Instagram-land that 'soggy fries are the best'. (I stand firm to the soggy fry belief.)

I not only take ridiculous photos with Instagram, but it's basically a legal form of stalking. I pathetically scroll through hundreds of pictures a week, trying to make sure that I don't miss any good ones so that I can 'like' or comment on them. It really is sad but I can't help my addiction, it is similar to many other iPhone addictions such as the Twitter, Facebook and Words With Friends apps. I have a permanent claw in place of where my hand once was when my phone is not in it and I've even caught myself being 'that girl' when walking into stores with my phone out and trying to check updates and walk at the same time. 

So now that I've confessed, it's your turn. I want to know if you have an Instagram and if it's just as hard for you. What's your number? Mine's a little embarrassing (316 photos taken in less than six months). Do you have a different addiction other than Instagram? You'll have to tell me to help me feel better about myself!

Keep it real,
Roo
