I'm sipping a cup of mint tea after a long day of shopping with my H. We had an awesome day together---breakfast and lattes at Starbucks, shopping and then a late lunch/early dinner at Chuy's (a Mexican food place in our area.) Our shopping began at Nordstrom Rack so I could use our $50 Groupon. I got a dress by Andrew Marc. I think ...

Casual Friday: Black & White Stripes (OOTD)
Happy Friday everyone! I just got back from an awesome session with my trainer. He actually had a holiday special recently where he had an awesome deal on unlimited training sessions so I'm going to be working out pretty hard/regularly for the next 6 weeks. I'll miss the 9 days we are on our trip, but I'll more than make up for it. I ...
Wearing Neutrals: Mixing Brown, Black & Gray (OOTD) & Glitzy-Glam Purchase
Hello ladies! I am so excited because I came home today to a package I've been expecting! You may know that popular YouTube beauty gurus, sisters Elle and Blair have an online shop called glitzy-glam. I saw one of Blair's videos where she was showing a cute makeup bag and I thought it would be perfect for our upcoming trip so I ...
OOTD: The Lace Skirt
This week went by so fast---I can't believe tomorrow is Thursday! Eeepp! Lots to get done before then. I had a work function tonight so I'm blogging super late in the evening but thought I'd do a quick outfit of the day post. I wore my new LOFT lace skirt today (got it 40% off during my Black Friday shopping.) As you can see, I ...
Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Will You Be Watching?
My husband just made the BEST dinner---grilled shrimp with steamed veggies. He seriously has a gift for using spices because he always makes everything so flavorful. It was the perfect post-workout dinner. I had a nice intense session with my trainer tonight---there was simply no way I was skipping tonight's workout. Do you know ...
Click! Click! Click! Getting Aquainted with my Canon
I played around a bit with my new camera (the Canon Rebel T2i) this weekend and wanted to share a few of the shots I took. Right now I'm only shooting in full automatic or automatic without flash. I will try other modes once I've watched the DVD about how to use the camera in its various settings. Photography is just really inspiring ...
Make Your Holidays Beautiful: Shutterfly Holiday Cards (Bloggers can get 50 Free!)
I usually wait until 2 weeks before Christmas to send out my holiday cards. This year though, I am lucky to be participating in Shutterfly's Holiday Card Promotion! I've done photo cards before, but they were NOT as cute as the ones offered by Shutterfly! I was seriously impressed when I saw the wide variety of designs they had to ...
Saturday Notes: Kate Middleton’s Loveliness,Tennis & New Nike Eclipse Shoes
I am so glad that I was able to have a 4-day weekend. After the traveling, jet lag and turkey dinners, I was exhausted and it was nice to sleep in today! I started my morning off right by watching some DVR'd shows all about Prince William and Kate Middleton. Can I just say how much I adore her? I mean, her hats, her gorgeous blown-out ...
(Black) Friday Shopping: Best Buy, Express, LOFT & Bath & Body Works
I hope everyone had a safe and happy thanksgiving! Ours was spent with my husband's wonderful parents and my best friend who joined us for a turkey dinner. Candice even baked an apple pie (from scratch) and it was delicious! I couldn't have asked for a better thanksgiving. I was able to get some reading done this weekend. I had ...
My Top Mascara Picks: Dior, L’Oreal, CoverGirl and Make Up For Ever
I've been on a roll lately with my product reviews so I thought I would continue my review-a-thon with a post about my favorite mascaras. Plural, because, uh, I love too many of them to choose just one. From L-R (please note that I only use waterproof mascaras. I don't like any formulas that aren't waterproof) Cover Girl Lash Blast ...
