Update and Motivate

Hey everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I have spent most of the Saturday doing this new thing to me called cleaning....I hate to clean and yet this "weight watcher/ fitness freak" gets up Saturday mornings read to clean... It's very funny to see Kris's face when he walks in the room and I am cleaning. Like today, "Umm...you're dusting." Haha yeah I was... Crazy I know! 


Sunday, I went to the Yoga barre class,( holy soreness) went with my mom to a viewing of one of my sister's best friends in school, lunch, and then cuddled the rest of the day with Audrey!

Speaking of Audrey I feel like she grew over night! Wow! We changed her food and when I woke up this morning BAM there was a whole lotta dog haha 

She also got a gate to get to just stay in the kitchen while we are at work now, hoping that will clam her down more then keeping her in her crate all day. We shall see how that works out today!

Now if you need some motivating to get active this week here are some quotes:

You can't expect to look like a million bucks, if you eat off of the dollar menu... eat clean

It took more then a day to put it on. It will take more then a day to take it off.


Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Please feel free to leave me a comment! I would LOVE to hear from you.

And so begins another week....

Good Afternoon! Happy Rainy Monday! Should be against to law, rules, whatever you want to call it to be rainy on a Monday! The day is going good so far but boy I would love to be at home with my Furbaby! 

Yesterday was so nice just cuddling with Audrey watching Football. I can't believe the games turned out like they did and the teams I was pulling for actually won! Wow what controversy at the end of the Green Bay and Dallas Game! Bryant didn't have control over the ball during his roll. I was disappointed with the performance from the Broncos yesterday. I thought that game was going to be a nail biting overtime kinda game.

I thought last's night's episode of Revenge was awesome a sitting on the edge of your seat kind of episode! 

   I have found an awesome but yet terrible website that gives you such awesome deals on the hottest trends! The why I say awesome and yet terrible is because it is awesome and the terrible part is I'm addicted to looking at it every chance I get and I have been buying from the site! I will tell you all about it tomorrow!

I hope you all continue to have an awesome day!

ummmm about that....

In 2014 I made goals for life and my blog and didn't meet most of them to the fullest I would have liked to, but a lot in life did happen so I can't be too mad at myself.

So let me explain..... 

1. I got really bad migraines and had to drink soda but it's not my first choice anymore and I only drink it when I really need it.

2. I have not cut my hair it has been growing! 

3. yeah... I was doing good and well life happened

4. no one new joined

5. I feel as if I did a little more

6. I did a Diabetes walk for one of my students but not a color 5k

7. I teach a creative movement class at work where i do zumba moves at.

8. I sing in my car everyday..... does that count?

9. I feel as If I have been there a little more for my friends and my family

10. I saw Deirks Bentley and Thomas Rhett in concert!

11. I did cook new recipes!

12. oh yes every month I have gotten a massage!

13. I did take my mom to the zoo for mother's day

14. I didn't do a day trip to the outlets but I did shop on my cruise at Jamaica ,Grand Turk, and Nassau... does that count?

So maybe life did go as I planned but 2014 was so amazing! I am very thankful for everything in my life and for the person I am today!

What comes around.....

Good morning! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Mine was real laid back. We went out Friday night with my parents and had a great time! Saturday and Sunday were pretty lazy! Just how I like them! 

I thought last night's episode of True Blood called Karma was good...seeing that Bill and Sookie now have some bigger issues..... I don't want to give it away incase one of you still has to go back and watch it..... and if you watched it you know what I am talking about..... The episode was titled Karma..... Which made me think about Karma....something that I wish some would have happen to them....

Here are some quotes that I feel go along with the Karma feel....

Have a great day!

Blood Red Nails..... on your finger tips

Good Morning! Happy Manicure Monday! it's going to be a great night for me to get my nails ready for the 4th of July! Can you believe it's that time already! AHHH! I honestly can't decide how I want to paint my nails I have the colors but I just can't make up my mind.....

Don't forget Accessories with your bikinis are a must this summer! Hats are a must! Coverups are a must! Koozies are a must! I am obessed with my koozies ! I have 3 now and I use the one that matches best each day I am out by the lake or pool!  As well have one one it's way!

I will post my nails on here for you once I have painted them and made that final decision! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Best Friends Day!

Good Morning! Did you know yesterday was Best Friends day? Well with my bad week I had it was nice to have spent the weekend with the friends that truly care about me. I cried to them and each one said you have us and said how strong I am and it will get better because Karma has a funny way of coming back on people that did you wrong. Lindsay's mom gave me more insight to Lindsay and let me know that we both are the same about friendship that you could roll a car over us and we are still your friend, that we have a hard time understanding why all of a sudden the people you love and care about most somehow don't. That's totally how I felt. I don't understand how ones sleep at night. 

Anyway, back to how awesome my weekend was...Saturday, was a surprise party for Lindsay and her boyfriend did an awesome job pulling it off. She had no idea! Of course, she text me asking what I was doing and well I was at her party waiting for her so I looked at Kris and I was like, "OMG! What do I say?" he told me to say sitting and watching TV. Well I said just sitting with Kris then she asked my plans for the night.... oh none yet why? well because I want to see you and hang out... oh ok well text me when you get home then! Ugh! I was so nervous! It was all pulled off and I couldn't have been more happy for her!

Sunday, was a day on the lake with the girls laying out and the boys playing with their Jet skis! Although, I did get to end the day with a long jet ski ride with Kris.We even jumped waves! It was awesome!  

So in the long run of this weekend, I really found out who was worth "melting" for and I couldn't be more happy to have the friends I have!

Hope you all enjoy your week! Have a great Monday!

Manicure Monday with a touch of sparkle

Good morning! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter yesterday! Well, I know I said last Monday that the nails colors I had gotten I would show you each manicure Monday.... well over the weekend I got a new color... so I am going to show you the new color today....

Of course they are from the Sally Hansen Nail collection.... the Triple Shine is called Dream Sequins and the Insta-dri color is called Petal Pusher.

I love the color it took about 3 coats for my nails to get the full color and then adding the Dream Sequins color to my ring fingers was such a cute and subtle touch. It still kept my nails classy. The colors work very well with each other. 

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Please leave a comment below... I haven't gotten any comments in forever.... it is kind of sad.....not feeling the love readers......

Talk nerdy to me....

Hello! Happy Monday to you! I hope you all had a wonderful day! It was a rainy one here.... Rain on a Monday...seems just not nice

How exciting! I received an overwhelming request to post a picture of myself in the outfit I talked about in my last blog post. Messages saying, " post a picture of you in your Superman shirt and maxi skirt." " the outfit sounds so cute I wanna see!"

Okay Okay Okay.... Here you go!

 Plus I wanted to share with you a funny moment I experienced while wearing this outfit!

Now at the time I didn't have my glasses on but I had got to the grocery store and two boys, I'd say about 16 or 17, were walking down the same aisle I was stopped on reading the back of the brownie mix box. Well one of them says, "Dude... look its a hot nerd." I didn't think anything of it... I mean they couldn't have been talking about me right? His friend says, " No... she is hot but I don't think she's a nerd." They walk closer to me and the first one says' " she is she's got lactose milk and all."  Yes ladies and gentlemen I did have lactose milk in my cart because I am lactose and tolerant to milk... at that moment I simply bowed my head and walked on then busted out laughing! 

I'm not sure how to really take that.... take it as a compliment for being a hot nerd or be upset I was called a nerd?! 

Either way it was so funny and it is a story I will be telling for a while! 

So if you are looking to recreate this outfit for yourself...get you card ready to do some shopping!

Manicure Monday!

Good Morning! So I read on cosmopolitan.com some tips for painting your nails and it's crazy I only knew 2 of the tips! I felt as If I have been living under a rock! Totally a must read!

I wanted to share my nails that I painted last night! I was very excited about the color but not so much with the results. I used Essie Turquoise & Caicos. It took 3 coats of the polish for it to cover my nails. I wouldn't rate this polish very high on my liking. 

I can't wait for my deep grey color from Avon to come in today and then I will be changing my nails to that!

What color will you be using today? Leave me some love below and tell me! Hope you all have a wonderful day and start of this week!

Just a special note...

Good Morning! I posted before a challenge that was featured on one of my great friend's blog Simple Love and well I have been finding quotes left around at different places from some of our co-workers participating in the challenge! It's so exciting to find them and it's just all around nice to be told something sweet during the everyday routine of life. I feel like it is something that would be nice to do today just to make someone smile and know that they do matter and are appreciated! Even if it is a simple "Happy Monday!"

Here are the ones I remembered to take a picture of

Here is my quote to you today! Wishing you a Happy Monday!

Have a wonderful day!

I don't know about you...but it's bothering me

                                 Valentine's Day is coming up... WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR? 

Well I am really wanting to get a red dress but I am also wanting an "I Love My Boyfriend" shirt I saw a shirt in Target but they didn't have my size. So sad!  Then it's like how should I paint my nails? Red? Pink? Heart Designs? See it can really be tough being a girl! Then what are we going to do? Are we really going out on the Valentine's day Friday night? Or is it a Fix dinner at home watch movies kinda night? All these things are going through my mind.... but really does it matter? It is just another day! We should love each other everyday and it should be like Valentine's Day everyday and not a day that should stress you out because it has to be perfect because really what day is really perfect? 


Hope you all have a wonderful Monday! If you have started making your Valentine's day plans share them! I love to hear from you all!

Manicure Mondays!!

                                MANICURE MONDAY!

 Sometimes I have the Monday Blues but lately I have been hearing Monday is considered  Man Crush Monday where you post pictures of your hot guy or the Hot celeb guys you wish you had on Mondays  I also heard it is considered to be MANICURE MONDAY where you get your nails all dolled up for the week and post the pictures of your freshly painted nails on Monday! 

               I thought why not share some ideas to help you with your Manicure Monday!! Right now I am loving the AVON NAIL ART DESIGN STRIPS.  They are so easy to apply and they lasted on my nails for about 2 weeks! Remember I am a Pre- K teacher during the day so I wash my hands about 20-30 times a day and they stayed on GREAT!!!

Nails are painted with Avon Chilling Teal color
and used AVON NAIL ART Cheetah Pink

Again using the AVON NAIL ART Cheetah pink
and this time the Avon Nail Color is Viva pink

My other favorite AVON NAIL ART is the Bows For You
I feel this design is a little Audrey Hepburn-ish

If you are loving these designs and would like to see more AVON NAIL ART DESIGNS you can visit My AVON page and get yourself some of the designs as well as the colors. 

Happy Manicure Monday!!! Hope you all have a great day and have fun dolling up your nails for the week.
