Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! 

We spent the weekend in Panama City Beach.

Hubby & I along with my brother & his girlfriend and another friend and her son went.

I loved having a weekend of having absolutely nothing to do. 

(If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen these pics already!)

Our first stop was at Pineapple Willy's of course.

Brother & his gf

After Pineapple Willy's we went back to the condo so hubby & I could get dressed for the beach.

Brother & gf waiting on us to get ready.

 

The Sea Screamer made an appearance!

Beautiful Sunset

After we lounged on the beach we called it a night.

We woke up early & the sun & moon were both out!

The moon

We had lunch @ Sharky's

And for dessert we had the Pina Colada Cheesecake!

YUM!!

After lunch we spent the rest of the day at the beach lounging.

The water was WAY too cold for me.

I don't know how but hubby & brother decided they would get in anyways.

I am anti-sun so I was under the beach tent reading trashy magazines & sippin on this

frozen pineapple Pina Colada from Bikini Bob's!

I spotted this on the beach.

Don't ask me what the hell it is...I still don't know!

Yes, it is covering his face, hands, legs...his entire body!

Another gorgeous sunset!

Our last night in PCB we did some shopping & eating in Piers Park.

I got a cute new cross body bag that I plan to take to Hawaii.

We walked around & then called it a night.

At about 3am, the sirens in the condo started going off.

Someone reported smoke from a unit & they were trying to evacuate the building.

This meant walking down 13 flights!

We kind of lingered around because we saw security & he told us he thinks it was a false alarm.

Thank God it was nothing! I would have passed out going down 13 flights! lol!

All in all it was a fabulous relaxing weekend!

Although we didn't realize it was the official 2012 Spring Break for high schools.

So the city was packed with hormonal teens! lol!

NU-DI-TY

I knew that title would get some attention!

But lucky for you, it's not what you're thinking.

I went "natural" with my nails a few months ago to help with my 

saving efforts for our trips to Hawaii & Vegas this year.

So today I decided to try a nude manicure & I love it!

The color is called Incognito but I can't remember the brand of polish.

It's a bit light now that I see it in these pics.

In person it looks a lot better!

I think I'll try either MAC or OPI's nude options next time.

Show Stoppers Fashion Tape

I tried this fashion tape called Show Stoppers over the weekend.

Initially I thought it was the next best thing since sliced bread!

I HATE when bra straps show!

This top's straps are in an awkward area where I have to typically use safety pins 

or wear a  little light cardi with it.

Well, it's too hot in GA for cardis so I decided to try this Show Stoppers Fashion Tape.

I still had it as one of my samples from Birch Box.

So here is the before pic.

And here is the immediate after. 

Couldn't be more perfect, huh?

As long as you don't move, you're good to go. 

Within the hour I was tucking my straps back in. 

I was so annoyed because I didn't have my cardi with me.

I think this would probably be great for button up shirts that gap- maybe not so much for 

"fuller" women though. Catch my drift?

And honestly, $9.99 for this crap- not worth it in my opinion.

I can probably get some from a local store for much less & cut my own strips. LOL!

*Was not compensated or asked to do this review.

Weekend Recap

I had a very interesting & entertaining weekend!

Friday the hubby & I just hung out at home as normal.

We ordered in & watched our typical Friday night shows- to include "What Would You Do?"

We also found out we didn't win the lottery as anticipated, 

so our celebration trip to Vegas was cancelled.

Saturday afternoon I went to a football game for my friend's son.

Then hung out with my mom & she taught me how to make some Korean dishes!

Saturday night, I was hired to shoot a 30th Birthday party.

This was no ordinary party.

Turns out it was an Alter Ego Party.

There was a host who gave the attendees lessons on "pleasing your man" to put it nicely.

She taught women how to be sexy, how to dance like a stripper, and...

let's just say there were bananas involved in the "lesson."

I literally laughed my ass off the entire time!

I learned a lot but I felt awkward taking photos of ladies in these "positions"

 and with bananas in their mouths.

After the party, hubby & I went to the Spring Fling.

Basically a mini carnival.

We just went for the food & to walk around.

Sunday we went to the in-laws house & hung out for a bit.

Then we had dinner & went to our local River Walk.

Our city is in the process of constructing a whitewater course.

It was nice to go down there & see so many people just out & about with their families.

This is going to bring lots of tourism here & white water enthusiasts!

I'm just thinking of a way to get in the action- business wise that is.

I've got a few ideas & plans in motion for a new business venture! :)

I'm hoping this upcoming short week flys by!
My company is supposed to HOPEFULLY come out & hook me up to begin working from home.
I am getting SO impatient!

Home Security

Today the doorbell rang & this cute young lady was standing there with an "Elite" shirt on & a clipboard. I thought, "Hereeee we go"! I knew she was selling something.

First my dog went crazy & wouldn't stop barking even as we were both outside.

She suggested we go inside & I said, Um no I will just let her come outside.

So she went on about how she worked for a company called Elite & 

that they were an authorized ADT dealer.

She said she could hook us up with $1500 in equipment for free in exchange for free advertising- meaning we'd have to keep a yard sign up & the monthly monitoring fee would be $45 a month.

As she was talking she started talking & asked me for some water.

Hmmm...against my better judgement, I allowed her to come in.

However- I knew hubby would be home in a few minutes.

We sat at my dining room table & we continued to chat.

Then I basically told her what she was saying sounded great, however I needed to verify her & the company she worked for. She showed me her business license & badge. Told me they went to our local police department and they scanned copies of their drivers license, etc.

I memorized the business license & I had planned to call & verify.

But a quick google search gave me enough info to know they're legit but they have all kinds of hidden fees.  They are based out of Utah so I think it's strange they send people door to door & ship their salesman across the US to sell. 

Have you had these people come to your door?

I think it's time for a no soliciting yard sign!

Home Office Makeover!

This weekend we worked on my home office! 

I should be set up to work from home some time this week (or next).

Friday I picked up the paint- which is Bleached Denim by Behr.

We moved all of the stuff out the room, patched a hole that was caused by the door knob, 

& installed a door stopper.

Here are the before pics.

My previous home office was a horrible mix of everything. 

Dark wood, light wood, medium wood, white, etc.

 My desk area was super messy!

 I loved the wall color & photos I had hanging up- but that's about it.

 Black sheer panel had to go!

 more of my mess!

My hoarder-ness!lol

The patched hole- forgot to take a before pic.

Patched hole & door stopper

Repainted this too!

Saturday my mom & I ventured to Ikea in Atlanta.

I got up at 7am & we were on the road by 8:30.

It was our first time there- &we were there almost 4 hours!

I bought the Expedit Shelving Unit & Expedit desk.

When I got home, hubby got to work with a friend putting it together & I took the above chest of drawers outside & started painting it. 

And here is the After:

New paint on the walls & desk in place!

I love this desk!

 Repainted Chest of Drawers!

3 cans of spray paint-

I didn't sand. 

I didn't even take the drawers out or the stuff in the drawers out. 

LOL! I was tired so this is how it turned out.

I plan to get new knobs of course.

And new face plates for all the outlets.

Moved my memo board to the back corner &

 I want to get a vinyl wall decal for the other empty wall.

Moved arrangement to the opposite wall.

I plan to put in new pics in those empty frames.

Total cost so far- $385.

$85 for paint & materials (I had a $50 gift card so actually $35)

$290 @ Ikea for desk, shelving unit, misc office items.

$60 gas to & from Atlanta.

I still want to get:

new curtains

faceplates

knobs

light fixture

rug

wall decal

side table for printer 

But other than that, what do yall think?

How'd we do?

YouTube Saturdays

Yes I am posting this actually on Monday with Saturdays date!

We were busy remodeling the office so my computer was unhooked all weekend.

Have yall seen this crazy ass chick go HAM in her college class?

Threatening to kill the professor & students?

OMG.

I don't know how they all stayed in there for this!

Can you say: TAKE YOUR MEDS!
