All things Spring! (clothes edition)

I can't WAIT for Spring! Warm weather, a tan, natural highlights in my hair, bright colors... I could go on and on!

Here are some of my favorite things I love about SpRiNg!

Lucked up and found these babies on Ebay this winter! 

You can go wrong with a Tory Burch flop of any kind!

 

 

Love all things coral this year... and turquoises!

 

 

White Pants!

Wedges AND Nude colored shoes!

The Maxi Dress

The cotton dress... not to mention the flattering empire waist!

Everyone who knows me, knows I love a good black dress! 

 And to top off the black dress while at work... nothing better than a good fitting jean jacket!

Stay tuned for "All things Spring Home Edition!"

 

Lent...

Traditionally, the Christian church has observed the seven weeks before Easter as a time of penitence and spiritual self-examination.

Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent, derives its name from the ancient practice of marking the foreheads of worshipers with ashes from the unused palm branches of the previous year. Ashes historically have had a dual significance.

First, they are Old Testament symbols of sadness and humility. Second, they are a reminder of our mortality. Each of us faces the inevitability of physical death. Our bodes and material possessions eventually will turn to dust and ashes. This is a reminder that we dare not trust in thing that crumble. But Lent does not leave us on the ash heap. It begins with Ash Wednesday, but ends with Easter. And Easter proclaims that, through Christ, God resurrects us from our dust and ashes, makes us new creatures and brings life out of death!

So this Lent Season I really wanted to refocus on what we have and not lust for what we want. Sometimes I feel the need to have what everyone else has or everything I see on all the great blogs I follow. And as much as I want a cute house and wear nice things, I want to take this time to refocus on the things that are truly important in life, non of which are material things!

The day of my birth...

Is today!... Always love a good Friday birthday!
Looking forward to spending some time with some great friends at dinner tonight, a nice relaxing weekend at home with the hubby and Bella Baby and then a week long visit from Mama Jane next week!

Today I wanted to get a bit caught up with sharing some of my favorite things at the moment. Things that make my life easier and I would find hard to live without!

Thank you Teddy for this wonder piece of machinery for my B-day!

My mornings will never be the same.

Umm... thank you cleaning world for this!

I am a blackberry girl all the way... couldn't function without it!

And I LOVE the BOLD.

Sorry but IPhones are so overrated! :-)



Anyone that knows me, knows I am all about VOLUME!!!

Gotta stay hydrated! Love the digital meter at the top that tells you when you need to change the filter!

Have to have something to pour that filter water in to.



BPA Free and Dishwasher Safe. Can't go wrong.

This is my far one of the BEST investments I have ever made. Who wants to guess at how many calories you burn why exercising? Not me! I got this over 5 years ago and I never exercise without it!

The chest strap is not a big deal at all. Just fits right under your sports bra. Can't even tell it is there.

And last but not least, sunglasses that actually fit my face. Having a small face puts a damper on finding cute trendy sunglasses. Sure you could always look at the kids, but when is the last time you saw a 6 year old wearing aviators?

Thanks DKNY for making some that fit my face and thanks to mom and brother for the great Birthday Gift!

Future in Geico???

I have been asked on several occasions, mostly by my clients, how much I got paid to do the voice over for the

Geico Pothole commerical. (they think they are so comical)

Well as I am still trying to figure out my new Iphone 4, and I was trying to record something yesterday

and realized it didn't record.

(when I was recording!, so confusing...)

I guess now I have a better understanding of where they were coming from!

Does my voice really sound like that?!?!?!?

Happy Hump Day!

Kicking Booty!

Where oh where has my blogging time gone!?!? Life is kicking my booty these past 2 weeks! Physically and Mentally! Work has been a monster and I am just hoping it will settle down a bit this week!

What else is kicking my booty??? Boot Camp!

This is my 2nd round of a 3 day a week boot camp.

5:30 to 6:30 AM!

I really do enjoy it. Last time I did it I lost over 4 total inches. Didn't drop one pound but the inches is where it counts anyway. I am not really doing it to lose weight more just to spice up my exercise routine a bit. But you can argue with a loss of 4 inches over 12 work outs?!

 It makes you feel great.You have more energy. You already have your work out done for the day. You eat better because you drug your booty out of bed that early, might as well eat good. And if you pay a small fortune to do something, you will do it!
I would highly recommend to anyone needing a little boost in the exercise routine! I will keep you posted on the results from this boot camp. (good or bad!) If you are interested, let me know and I will get you the information!
I PROMISE to be back soon! I see the light at the end of the tunnel now!
 

Happy Monday!
