Good morning ladies! Though it's nearly noon, I must admit I slept until 11 this morning. We went to a pumpkin carving party last night and then we went to see our friend's band play and we didn't get to bed until 2. I almost always get 8 hours of sleep (I need it!) and I guess my body was making up for the extra hours. Today I'm ...
Chatting with Brooklyn Decker On Makeup, Modeling & More!
If you've been reading this blog for quite awhile, you'll know that I have a total girl crush on model and actress Brooklyn Decker. I was excited when I logged onto Facebook today because she said she would be doing a live chat for her fans as part of her work with Venus shaving products. I logged into the live chat and was able to copy and ...
Style Evolution: I Moved Here with Two Suitcases
Last weekend, my husband and I were driving around running errands and on the way to BORDERS I had a thought and I thought to myself- I need to blog about this! I moved to Houston with two suitcases. Yes. Two suitcases, that's it. My entire life in those two suitcases. I had lived with my mom throughout college so I didn't really ...
Motivation Mondays: ALO Sport Contest/Giveaway! (Cute Workout Clothes!)
Happy Monday everyone! Last Sunday, I visited the new YMCA downtown to see if I wanted to work out there. The memberships are $55 a month plus 2 dollars for parking every single time you go. That really annoyed me. I mean with the $55 fee and parking fees that's a lot more than I was paying at 24 hour fitness. Plus, I also take my ...
Hitting the Books: Confessions of a Shopaholic, Lauren Conrad Style & More!
I got a coupon in my email last night for 40% off of one book at BORDERS so H and I hit the bookstore this morning to pick up a few books. Some of you may know this already and others may not...but H and I are going to Paris for Christmas and London for New Years (eekkk!) We are SO excited! Although I was born in Europe, I have only ever been back ...
Finally Colored My Hair & Weekend Shopping (Some OOTD’s too!)
I am SO HAPPY today! You know how I was all nervous about getting my hair done and going to a new person to get my hair colored? Well, I think a picture says a thousand words: I am THRILLED with the way my hair turned out! I went to Stephanie at Cutloose and she totally understood exactly what I wanted. I am SO happy I found such ...
Favorite YouTube Fitness Channels & Looks I’m Loving Now
Happy Friday everyone! I am so happy it's Friday. As I wrote in a previous post this week I have just been exhausted and I can't figure out why...just one of those weeks, I guess. I got home from work today and plopped onto the couch. I contemplated skipping my 6:30 Pilates class but my 2 Sprinkles Cupcakes that I consumed ...
2011 Health & Fitness Goals & Help Me Make a (Hair) Decision
Happy Wednesday everyone! It's been a pretty busy week for me but I've been able to stick to my classes and did Pilates yesterday and today. I was thinking about my fitness goals for 2011 and as I was looking through some old photos on my laptop, I saw the one below from the day after our wedding. We had laid out at the pool at our ...
Motivation Mondays: Audrina Patridge Works it Out
Today's Motivation Monday features Audrina Patridge of "The Hills" and "Dancing with the Stars" fame. Obviously I don't know her so I didn't get to interview her like I usually do for this feature, but I did find a few of her fitness tips online and am compiling them in this entry. I am obsessed with the blog Hills Freak and I always admire ...
Weekend Wrap-Up & New Tiled Capiz Table Lamp from West Elm
I was kind of in a bad mood this weekend. It all started when on Saturday after Pilates class I walked to my car and saw that someone had left their poor barking little dog in the car for the entire class. They had ONE window cracked and the dog was barking incessantly (what dog likes to be left in the car alone after all.) It just ...
