Year: 2024

We are so excited about our Spring 2025 Big Boo Live Shows! The shows in Dallas this past Thursday and Friday were so fun! We loved seeing so many friends and listeners and can’t wait to do it again this spring.

The San Antonio live show is Thursday, February 20th at the Aztec Theatre. Really Fancy tickets are $120 each (they include a signed copy of my new book), and general admission tickets are $95 (they also include a signed copy of my new book). Our guests will be Kim Spradlin-Wolfe from Survivor and Niva Leones who is my beloved skincare aesthetician.

Admission for Really Fancy ticket holders is at 5:40 (you get to pick your seat and then we have picture time). Regular general admission starts at 6:45. The show will begin at 7.

You can rest assured that there will be a phenomenal hometown guide from me for the SA show – we want it to be the ultimate girls’ trip – and will also celebrate my new book with a book signing after the show!

The Fayetteville live show is Thursday, April 3rd at Town Center. Really Fancy tickets are $100, and general admission tickets are $75. Our guests will be Grace Valentine and Caroline Shankle.

Admission for Really Fancy ticket holders is at 5:40 (you get to pick your seat and then we have picture time). Regular general admission starts at 6:45. The show will begin at 7.

Neither of us has ever visited Northwest Arkansas – and we cannot wait. We are going to rely on our listeners to share all the best places to stay and eat and visit…and we’re going to enjoy exploring every bit of it with you!

Please note: there will be no livestream option for either of these shows.

Oh, how the college football turns have tabled. My Aggies traveled from the mountaintop to the valley this past weekend, so as you can imagine, I’m still processing my emotions re: the loss. However, the good news is that this week marks the first installment of our annual holiday gift guide, and we’re just as happy as we can be about that. Plus, we talk about our favorite fruity candy flavors, so basically we’re changing the world one podcast episode at a time.

So excited to see some of you in Dallas this week – and hope you enjoy, everybody!

Well, here it is. The first of November and kids all up and down the street were having to take off their Halloween costumes last night because it was so hot.

I’m over it.

Anyway, here are some cute things I found this week:

1. chunky western charm necklace

When I went to Round Top a few weeks ago, charm necklaces were everywhere and I think they are just the cutest. This would be a great Christmas gift.

It’s $78.

2. new balance 480 sneakers

How cute are these? They come in other colors but I love this green.

They are $90.

3. cap sleeve t-shirt

I bought this on a whim a few weeks ago because it’s still so hot and I needed another short sleeve shirt. It is beyond my expectations and I immediately ordered it in black. It’s great by itself or layered under something.

It’s $14.99.

4. skies are blue ruffle dress

This would be a great dress for the holidays. Love the color.

It’s $79.

5. leopard pleated shirt dress

This is such a great leopard dress. You could wear it with tall black boots and it would be perfection.

It’s $79.

6. elan sweater shirt combo

I love a shirt sweater combo that I don’t have actually layer. This also comes in a taupe color.

It’s $99.

7. sequined a-line dress

Such a great dress to have in your closet for the holidays. You could dress it up with heels, wear it with tall boots or even just dress it down with sneakers.

It’s $49.99.

8. so soft mini sweater dress

This dress is as good as the sweater. It’s so soft, comes in several color options and is just great by itself or under a blazer or denim jacket.

It’s on sale for $30.99.

9. Oakley harness boots

I tried these on at Target and they are so good. Super comfortable and I’ve always loved a harness boot.

They are $44.99.

10. allie + bess wonderland necklace stack

Allie + Bess released their holiday collection and this stack has my heart. I love all the shades of green. You can buy the whole stack or just the separate pieces. It would also make a great Christmas gift. You can get 20% off everything on their site with the code MELANIE20.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

BTHO South Carolina.

The Aggies are at the top of the SEC football standings, so naturally we talk all about that on this episode – along with the state of my legs and feet after walking about 13,000 steps in her full-length cowboy boots. And in Sophie’s neck of the woods, she cooked for Alex and his buddies this past Sunday night, so it’s been BUTTER AHOY in Birmingham.

We also discuss reading ruts and how to maybe / hopefully / possibly snap out of them, and it’s Sophie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!
