Pink Swap

This was my second year participating in Hopsy's Annual Pink Swap!

This year I was paired with Bless Your Heart & she definitely did a FABULOUS job!

Don't you just LOVE getting packages in the mail?

I think that's why I am addicted to swaps!

This is what I saw when I opened the box.

I was smiling as soon as I saw the pink tissue & card!

I adore this sweet card from Minted  

(& all the glittery stars that were in the envelope)!

My pink loot!

This item is quite nifty!

It's a buffer infused with bodywash.

It says it's good for 10+ washes!

I actually think this is a great item for traveling.

Instead of packing soap & a loofah you can take this and leave it when the trip is over.

I might be ordering more for our Hawaiian Cruise!

 

Awesome journal!

This is going with me to Hawaii so I can jot down memories from our trip!

This is just too cute!

You press it into the bread before you toast it, and Voila...French Toast! lol!

A girl can never have too many make-up bags!

Excuse the photo quality of this.

I LOVE this frame!!

I'm all about some bling!

 

And finally some yummy body wash & body butter!

Thank you so much Grace!

I enjoyed being your swap partner! :)

Valentine's Dinner Plans?

This made me LOL!

My friend took this picture and I just couldn't believe it!

There's nothing wrong with Waffle House, but reservations? 

And candle-lit?

Really?

(I blurred out local info of course!)

I am not a fan of going out to eat on Valentine's Day. 

Every place is just too crowded.

I prefer to just order-in!

What do yall do for V-day?

Do you brave the crowd for a good steak?

Superbowl Sunday

We had a small gathering for Super Bowl festivities.

I was going for the Giants  & hubby was going for the Patriots.

We all know how that turned out!

What did yall think of the half time show?

I LOVED Madonna!

I see there are a lot of haters out there! lol!

I think for 53 years old, she did pretty damn good!

She wasn't moving as fast as she did in her 20's but overall I was impressed!

And I loved those boots!

Apparently the Twitter world is divided on this topic.

There was an analysis done on Twitter about what people were saying. 

Next year the Super Bowl is going to be in New Orleans.

And since N.O. is only 6 hours away from us, 

we're already making plans to *hopefully* go to next years game!

Birthday Recap!

Yesterday we out to dinner for the husband's birthday to TGIFs.

I didn't know they had ladies night on Wednesday with a DJ!

That place was like a club last night! lol

Hubby's fabulous cake!

It was SOOO yummy!

(named blurred out of course)

 Hubby's expression is so cheesy, huh? HA!

 I don't get the whole not smiling thing!

 

Lots of friends came out to help celebrate &

we had a great time!

HBD!

 Happy Birthday Hubby!!

I am truly blessed & thankful to have such a wonderful husband.

I love you!!

We decided not to do anything big for our birthdays this year, after we booked the cruise to Hawaii and researched the prices for various excursions! 

We're gonna have to save every dollar, quarter, penny, & lint in our pockets! lol!

So tonight we'll be going out to dinner with friends & family!

Enjoy your day!

Noooo!

Have yall seen those JC Penney commercials with all those women yelling "Noooo!"

Cracks me up every time!

In other news, my hubby bought this nifty item at TJ Maxx.

And it does this to apples.

My new after work/late night snack!

(with peanut butter of course!)

4.4

I dont know how this happened, but I lost 4.4 lbs in 4 days! 

Woot Woot!

We started going to the gym Thursday and today was the second time we went.

We did pour out all the soda in our house on Thursday and have been eating super healthy for 4 days (salads, grilled chicken, fruits, yogurt, etc).

And drinking LOTS of water!

Giving up soda is HARD! I love a nice hard coke!

(when I say " hard coke" I mean very acidic.)

My other problem is fast food.

I started a new schedule last week at work so now I have an hour for lunch.

I go out to eat with a friend each day so I have to figure out what I'm going to eat.

Salads & Sub sandwhiches get old! 

Did you know you CAN actually eat healthier at fast food restaurants?

I came across this site which shows you how to do it!

It gave me a good idea of what to order, so we'll see how this goes.

An I wanted to update you all on that Vita Coco Coconut Water...

YUCK!

Nastiest shit I've ever drank! It was like drinking ocean water!

However, I did discover that Wal-mart's Great Value Yogurt is surprisingly GREAT!

 

Not only does it taste JUST LIKE Yoplait, it's cheaper & bigger! 

Let's see how long I can make this healthy eating thing last. 

When I get down to a good weight I will reveal #s. 

I'm keeping tracking on my phone.

Speaking of phone, are there any apps you recommend for this?

Here's some old pics of me from college. I was in my early 20's.

I'd love to get back down to this size. 

I am NOT a fan of being stick skinny (no offense to those who are), 

so this size is perfect for me!

An added bonus would be if I could get my girls to sit up like that again with no bra! HA!

Damn you gravity!!!

*Disregard the beer & cig- I was in a club obviously! lol

And no, all those drinks in the background aren't mine!

 

I need to blow these pics up & hang them next to my fridge for inspiration!
