I’ve scoured the web to find fabulous Pride gears that runs the gamut from classic rainbows to a dash of Disney to salty innuendoes — everything’s better with salt, but you already knew that about me!

Brrr…It’s chilly in Dallas today! High of 50. The best part of tumbling temps? Fall fashions return! This … Continue Reading
We saw The Lion King in 3D today. Here’s what we thought. Plus, a very special rendition of Hakuna Matata, as “sung” by me and Mason. It’s something you will never forget…even if you try!
I’m rounding up all of my favorite deals on Amazon’s two-day Prime Day extravaganza! Keep checking back for more.
I’m a sucker for Instagram ads, especially if it’s a gadget that promises to solve one of my (ridiculously first world) problems. I’ve been looking for a phone dock to put in my car, but being picky AF like me, none of them appealed to me.
Y’all! I adore when brands are smart and witty enough to send fun, unexpected gifts to people who talk about their experiences on social media. Check out this adorable gift box of penguin love that I received from the folks at Spiffy mobile car washing service!

First day of school looks and feels a little different this year. Masks, mandatory daily health surveys, temp checks at the car door, separate entrances for each of grade cluster, no parents allowed to leave cars. (Also the first day in months that any of us has gotten out of bed before 8.) . Can you believe that Mason is now in Middle School?! . #backtoschool - by imcoopedup 2 months ago

Add zip lining over the Blue Ridge Mountains and rappelling from a 75-ft high platform to the list of things I didn’t see coming in 2020! . The kids and I, along with my brother-in-law Pieter, spent half the day (over 4 hours!) zip lining above and through the trees of the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains at @thegorgezipline . It was a fun, and occasionally terrifying, adventure involving 11 zip lines, 3 rapels (one over 75 feet down) and a wobbly suspension bridge. . Now, every joint and muscle in my body hurts...but it was well-worth it. So proud of the - by imcoopedup 2 months ago
When you’re in the mountains and internet doesn’t work for shit for your daily Facebook Live show...but the hair is Siegfried and Roy fabulous. . I’m not going to lie, I’m seriously digging the big hair. I just wish for a little clean up. And maybe a little color. - by imcoopedup 3 months ago
How many times a day can you say, “OMG, that’s so gorgeous?” Because the Black Hills of South Dakota have pushed me to that limit! The scenery is magnificent, the vistas stunning and the lakes other-worldly. . Mason and I climbed up the rocks surrounding Sylvan Lake - easily one of the most beautiful in North America - this afternoon for one last look before we start making our way back to Dallas. . Also, don't forget to go to coopedup.com to sign up for my email updates. I'm planning to send out some photos soon! - by imcoopedup 3 months ago

Super fun day riding the dunes! Even with my epic wipeout (swipe to see the “after.”). An hour later, I still feel the grit of sand between my teeth. On the plus side, it’s a great exfoliatant. . Also, in the remake of Spaceballs, the role of Princess Vespa will be played by Claire. So much drama! . (PS - thanks @bombas for the snazzy #Pride socks. I got many compliments!) - by imcoopedup 3 months ago
When you’re in Santa Fe, but you wanna be stylishly safe. Love this new mask I picked up in a little shop there. Already kicking myself for not buying all of them! . I need to figure out where to get these wholesale to sell to my friends. I’ve already gotten so many compliments from strangers! - by imcoopedup 3 months ago
