A day in the life....

...pics from my iphone for the previous week.....

SO MUCH has been going on it's been hard for me to keep current on this lil blog (for you my 2 dedicated readers!! LOL). 

GOT MY TOE'S DID

WENT TO MY LIL GUY'S BLIUE & GOLD BANQUET FOR SCOUT'S

IT WAS AN OLYMPIC THEME....

I CAN NEVER WALK AWAY FROM A SALE!! EVEN IF IT'S ON VALENTINE PEEPS

(it was the perfect addition to a cuppa Starbucks cocoa)

WE HIT OVER 40 DEGREES IN THE MIDWEST....

(I'm mad I didn't get out and enjoy it as we are back to single digits next week)

HAD A HELLA GOOD DAY AT GOODWILL....

Holla for Dolla Day (stay tuned for my thrifty finds next week)

Swapped around my room and my daughters room SO that makes for lotsa fun projects and FINALLY prepping to tackle some old ones...STAY TUNED - LOTS of fun posts in the future AND a giveaway!!

Flowers from my boss in celebration of my PROMOTION!!! 

 FINALLY after a year and a half I got a dryer....thanks mom and dad!! You have made my life SO MUCH EASIER!!!

WINTER you're killin me....STAYING moisturized and hydrated...Burt's Bees, Carmex and more

PHEW!! With a title that long I'd better have something good to say right?!?!? No worries, there's an embarrassing pic included too!! This winter has my skin and scalp SO DRY...like itchy dry (not dandruff just itchy). I have had this lil sample of Burt's Bees Avocado Butter Hair treatment, so I figured I'd give it a whirl...

I put a plastic bag of my Avocado treated hair and popped my knit Bears hat on (HERE is the embarrassing pic) BUT I can share with you...we're friends right?!?!?

The hair treatment was AMAZE....my scalp felt moisturized and un-itchy!! Below you will find the rest of the products I use to keep my skin hydrated and moisturized.

VALENTINE Recap

This year every morning the Valentine's fairy came to visit the kids....Here are a few snapshots....

I received these FUN lip tattoos from one of my girlies!!

A lil flower thief....

 Kisses....XO

Hope you had a FAB Valentine's weekend!! 

FOODIE FRIDAY....Chobani Key Lime CrumbleYogurt

I've talked before about my LOVE for the Chobani yogurts....greek yogurt with fruit on one side and "flip In's" on the other....The one I am talking about today is the Key lime pie. SO DELISH!! The greek yogurt actually has LIME pulp in it and the flips side is graham cracker crust and mini white chocolate chips....

I've been making efforts to make changes in my diet and eat better....so to this DELISH mix I added about a 1/4 cup of blueberries. Blueberries added a lil tang and texture and are loaded with antioxidants.

 THIS was the perfect tasty treat!! 

Have you ever noticed at good eateries the serving portions are far smaller than say your family restaraunt?!?! I my opinion it's because the FLAVOR and pairings are so fab in good food that you don't need A LOT to fill you...it's more about enjoying the actual food rather than filling a void.

THRIFTY TUESDAY....Gone THRIFTING

I HEART thrift stores and I don’t care WHO knows it!! SO when a girlfriend and I made plans to go to lunch we decided to throw thrifting in the mix!! Here was my haul....

A set of 4 white plates (I LOVE white dishware...I can mix and match, collect pieces along the way and they are a nice palette for photog’ing food) 3 pink glitter “sea urchins” that I plan to paint gold, 2 white mugs for a future project and a shamrock hand towel for St.Patty’s day (BECAUSE I am an equal opportunity holiday decorator) and you guys will NEVER believe how much I spent!! UNDER $7.00. FOR REAL!!! 

SEE how cute my lil sea urchins look pink....I may NOT pain them OR go back and buy more so I can have gold ones for the summer months and pink for the winter holidays.....

What's in MY bag?!?!?

HOLLA!! Momma's got the internet back...I TOTALLY forgot to take a pic of the internet guy installing (I really was going to)....BACK to our REGULARLY scheduled program!! It's crazy insane how much I was fiending for the internet....I mean I got a LOT done (washed my floor on my hands and knees) BUT I missed y'all!! Ok, I decided a "what's in my bag" post may be kinda fun...

WHAT’s IN YOUR BAG

What’s in your bag seemed like a FUN series to blog about!! This is an un-edited version (for a minute I thought about NOT Including the papers OR doing this post AFTER I cleaned out my purse BUT that’s not legit or real!!). 

My bag is Coach 

I ALWAYS have some Bath & Body hand sanitizer on my purse....I pick them up here and there so they aren’t always the current fragrance collection. 

On what I call the “business” side you’ll find scripts and meds, papers, sunglasses, gloves, sequin change purse (which contains change and cash) and leopard zip pouch(eyedrops, aspirin, travel toothbrush)

In the middle is my wallet (Coach) and an extra keyless entry remote JUST in case....

Then there’s the BEAUTY side....the running joke at work is the girl with a 1000 lip glosses who NEVER wears lipgloss (mostly true...I will apply once in the morning and HATE the way re-application feels SO I run with my trusty Carmex)
