Weekend Wrap Up + 30 Day Shred

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!! The weather here was finally sunny + warm= one happy girl! =)

On another happy note...I got a surprise in the mail!! A little "I love you" reminder from my perfect and handsome bf!

You can see the surprise HERE ( I checked polyvore for a picture without any luck). It looks so much better in real life! I love it, along with pretty much anything made with pearls!!

In other news:

I, along with some of you, have been doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred (while still continuing my regular gym routine of course). I'm on my 4th consecutive day! There is just something about Jillian that is so motivating! She makes me feel like if I get lazy she'll pop out of the tv and put me in a headlock haha

The first day, oh.my.goodness! Hard. But I DID IT! Keep in mind I just recently started getting back into the gym etc. So far though, its been going pretty well and each time it gets easier. I can definitely feel the results!

If you're interested in any type of home workout--pick up the 30 Day Shred dvd and see for yourself what all the hype is about! =)

For those of you that are trying it or have tried it--What did/do you think about your results?

UPDATE:

Thank you so much for all your thoughts and wishes yesterday, you all are so very kind. We have such a great little bloggie community and I'm so happy to be a part of it! Baby Zoe had all sorts of work done yesterday--blood/stool samples, x-rays, shots, the.whole.9.yards. Poor girl. But the good news is: most all her results came back negative! We are just waiting to hear back from the hospital on her blood sample. I am very optomistic though, as baby Zoe is doing much better today! YAY. =)

Under the Weather

Sorry for such a boring post....

My sweet (fur)baby Zoe is one sick puppy today.

Zoe has been teething these past couple of weeks which hasn't been very fun for her. She hasn't been sleeping very well and today she seems to have the tummy flu. She's thrown up 3x already! Poor Zoe just can't keep anything down. We are headed to the vet later this afternoon--wish us luck =)

To Fool or Be Fooled?

I've been on my best behavior and haven't partaken in any scheming today.
I'll dedicate my post to others who didn't hold back and kept today's theme alive.

Fun With Post-It Notes




Does anyone have any funny pranks to share?

Happy April Fools Day!

Advice Needed

Ok ladies, I'm in the need for some advice....

My tanning package at the salon ran out a week ago, and I'm already starting to feel a little like this:

But I'm completely terrified of the C word
(c.a.n.c.e.r)

So I've decided to turn over a new leaf and quit the bed tanning!

I'd like to explore my other options.

A. Invest in some in home self tanner (freaks me out a bit)

OR

B. Go to the salon and step into one of those spray tanning machines (ms. salon lady set it at a shade too dark the ONE time I tried it. It just so happened to be right before *aka the day before* I left on spring break. D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R. I was the only person on the beach wearing a turtleneck...ha. Not quite but I should have been =) Needless to say I haven't revisited the machine spray since).

and lastly

C. Keep my fingers crossed I don't end up looking like this:



Lotion Tan?
Spray Tan?
Salon Spray Tan?

Any advice/tips from my fellow tanners out there for getting the most natural and streak free results? Or any mishaps you learned from...

Slap-Chopped!!

Vince Shlomi(44), better known as the pitch man for a super this absorbent towel and this food chopper was arrested at a hotel in Miami for a violent altercation with a prostitute(26).

According police reports(you can view them here), Shlomi told police he met Harris at a Miami Beach nightclub and took her to his $750-a-night room. Shlomi then paid Harris about $1,000 and when he kissed her, she "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched her several times until she released his tongue.

The affidavit says a bleeding Shlomi ran to the hotel lobby, where security summoned police.

Both were slap-chopped with the silver bracelets for felony aggravated battery.

All I can say is sham-Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww!
