That is hilarious. I just traded down to a small because everyone said the other one was too big!! I need to find one in the middle I think… thank you for leaving a comment! xx
Kristy! I LOVE that you enjoy Bachelor! I’ve been a fan since the beginning and became more so when my daughter was selected and flown from here in the Palm Beaches to Hollywood after going to audition. She met the executive producer (told she made it!) but at the time didn’t know it was “Juan Pablo” and my daughter said she just couldn’t do it. I’m so THRILLED and adore Ari! I wrote the show several times asking to make it CLASSIER and have better bachelors like in the beginning. We went to a small luncheon with a couple of the guys from Bachorette after fundraiser and saying it nicely Ari is the BEST Choice! I doubt it was my writing but sure many felt the same. I picked the same girls! And Yes the Villian too! Looks like the BEST “Most Dramatic” season ever! Ari’s best friend is married to a NFL Miami Dolphins cheerleader and my daughter cheered for them too, darn I wish she met him before Bachelor or went on show! Love to have him in the family! ? Kristy we can SO talk Bachelor!! Love it! Thanks for the GREAT recaps! Love & Blessings, kathy
Hi Kathy,
What a crazy story!!! So fun and I completely back up her smart decision to not go on Juan Pablo’s season… ;) Great minds think alike. I’m hoping that the season just gets better and better. It is all about us isn’t it? ;) Hugs.
Hi Kathy,
What a crazy story.. I completely back up your daughter’s decision to not go on Juan Pablo’s season… what a mess LOL! Thanks so much for sharing. I hope it’s the best “MOST DRAMATIC” season ever too. Oh Chris Harrison, always getting my hopes up. xx
I couldn’t have written this any better! You completely read my mind summing up this entire blog beginning to end. I’m excited to see where things go for Arie this season. I look forward to reading
Your thoughts moving forward, as always. ❤
My family and I couldn’t believe how much Krystal looks like his mom…soooo similar! Maybe a little too similar…& kinda creepy. I know she has a touching story, but I just don’t feel she’s genuine. I kinda feel like she uses her brother’s situation to make herself look “caring” and humble. I’m on team “pixie cut!” :)
Definitely agree with you regarding the group dates and that particular group date! It was ridiculous.
Am going to enjoy reading your recaps! Would love to see the spread that you put on for your friends too!
Also great post on living room.
Thank you!
Hi Hannah,
Thank you! I definitely need to share one of my bachelor spreads with everyone. Maybe I’ll stick that in a future post about the recaps. That group date made me cringe inside and I definitely wasn’t a fun of the date idea in general. ABC what gives? Thank you for commenting. xx
Hi Mia,
Thank you so much! Maybe with my new camera I’ll begin putting out vlogs… but that is a completely foreign concept to me and I’ll have to figure it out lol. xx
Yup… keep doing these my friend!!! Loved reading your recap and how cool that your parents were 14 years apart!
I am actually super excited about this season and I think as far as women go they have never had a more attractive cast! Arie isnt my cup od tea but he seems right for the job!
Hi Kristen,
Thanks for stopping by my blog my friend!!! I agree.. whether Arie is your cup of tea or not, I think he means well and is ready. I’m always a team LOVE person. The girls are so gorgeous this season.. I agree. xo
Hi Kristy!
You know Krystal is on instagram right? She has an account for her fitness business. Seems like a sweet kid. You should check out her insta!
Hi Mary,
Thank you! I’ll definitely have to do that. I need motivation from every angle lol. I’m sure she is a nice person – but it’s weird how ABC edits sometimes. I feel badly that it’s out of everyones control.
Loved the recap!
The only thing about Arie is his kissing “style” is toooooo much!!!
Can’t stand the hands in the hair and on the neck …. no not for the first kiss! He goes for the huge makeout right off the bat! Yuck!
Anyway other than that he seems nice.
Keep up the recaps! Love it!
Hi Becky,
This made me laugh out loud because when you think about it – it’s true. It’s different. For the first kiss maybe it’s a little much but he has the whole “kissing bandit” thing to live up to. Maybe he’s overcompensating. xx
Hi Kristy,
I got that pretty Restoration Hardware tree for my bedroom at Christmas time. All the Christmas dec are put away except that. I love it and I can’t put it away yet.
I love the Bachelor show. After watching him kiss a couple girls I can’t watch the kissing anymore, the camera man zooms too close! Ewe. I didn’t know Arie lived in Scottsdale. Somehow I missed that. I work in Paradise Valley, AZ and my bosses son went to the same high school at the same time as him.
My husband walked in the room the same time Bekah M made her entrance the 1st night and he stopped in his tracks and goes wow, who’s she? Then the next morning at work we were talking about the show and my boss (who watches, LOL) says that girl with the short hair is really cute! I laughed and later said to my husband what is with her that you find so attractive. He says, I don’t know, sometimes when a girl like that walks in a room you go wow, she’s cute. Ha! I don’t know about that Krystal?? Too soon to tell. I love my Monday night TV between Dancing with the Stars and the Bachelor. Nice way to unwind after the dreadful Mondays.
Hi Penny,
Oh my gosh – I wish I worked at an office where all the men watched the bachelor! LOL. I actually adore Pixie cut girl (Bekah) and think she is the girl next store that every man adores. xx
Thanks Kristy. I too love The Bachelor and admit it is my guilty pleasure.
I agreed with most of your post. I think the Group dates are usually stupid also and thought the bumper cars was a dangerous idea. I really like Becca, the long haired one, She seems normal. The short haired one seems to me like she is out to find fame and fortune and is an actress wanna-be. Although Krystal does have a sad background, she seems extremely fake and phoney to me. Her voice is very irritating.
There seems to be a few decent girls in the group,but it is the same few girls who get all of the airtime. It will be an interesting season……..
Kristy, you nailed it!!! I feel the EXACT same way about Becca, Krystal and Bibiana! The part about Bibiana did make me laugh out loud! ? Looking forward to the next review!
This was great!!! I am.currently in South America so I am missing the show but you did so awesome!!! Thank you
Hi Marcela,
Thank you so much for commenting! I’m so glad you enjoyed my recap… hope you enjoy South America :) xx
Love your fiddle fig, but the basket is a bit too small….
I’d go a little bigger♥️
Hi Kim,

I never watch but I enjoyed your recap. Keep up the great work.
Hi Carol,
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog.. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recap! xx
Oh the bachelor…definitely a guilty pleasure that I watch each week haha. I’ll definitely be reading your weekly recaps :)
Hi Fiona,
So excited to be doing this. I don’t know what has taken me so long! Thanks so much and let me know what you think next week. xx
Hi Fiona,
Thank you so much for sharing. It’s for sure my guilty pleasure too… thank you for reading and leaving a comment. xx

I LOVE “Pixie Cut” girl. She’s adorable. and I agree about Krystal.. we’ll see more about her as the weeks go on. xx

Loved your recap. I think it would be fun if you did a little vlog instead of a blog! Like a long ista story since you’re so great on camera.
Hi Mia,

I love how Maggie poses in the pictures you took of the fig tree! ?? I really enjoyed reading your recap!
Hi Rachel,
The funniest part is that none of these are staged!! When I go in a room, she follows me and makes funny faces. ;) Thank you!

Hi Alison,
So true! I couldn’t agree with you more – sometimes I wonder why they cast certain people at all. xx
Love your recap and the Bachelor! You and I saw things very much alike. I enjoy following you on Insta! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Shelby,
Thank you so much.. You’re so sweet. I really appreciate the positive feedback. xx
Kristy, you nailed it!!! I feel the EXACT same way about Becca, Krystal and Bibiana! The part about Bibiana did make me laugh out loud! ? Looking forward to the next review!
Hi Kimberly,
Thank you so much for commenting – LOL at Bibiana. She’s gorgeous but she’s a spitfire. xx
