dun dun dun!

I took this picture from pursebuzzes website. I went into the Mac store today and asked why their holiday collection was up and the lady said that they're doing it so that people can preorder them when they come out. I was like wow really! So I went on ahead and asked the hubby if it's okay and he said okay and got the classic eyes. The casing is really pretty and i'm so excited! it's $38 but she said it's really worth it because i'm saving like $40 +. why does mac have to be so addicting?!

Sunset driving back from Destin. It's always my favorite time of the day when the sun sets...

We ate at Sushi Siam and their sushi was actually really good when we ate in. I usually order to go and I always thought it was okay, but this time it was mouth watering! I usually order the crunchy roll. Nothing beats sushi tango though! (mind the arm, i have sunspots from tanning :( )

Going for a natural look or easy on the eyes look. I bought "warm soul" today from Mac and I like it. It really does brighten up the face and it's what i'm wearing above. I'm trying to get used to wearing falsies too!

Here goes my blush, this is not all of it but just the new ones I've gotten so far.

EDM Summer Stroll is really pretty and great to go over a pink or even worn by itself. On my medium/light skin it warms my face up. Jane's Honey is a honey color really...it's got shimmer in it and works really well as a wonderful bronzer! Jane's soft mink is sorta a baby pink with shimmer and great as a highlighter too. Rimmel's blushes are awesome! The peach one is great and so is the spicy nude!!! really, i love both of them. Mac's harmony is great for contouring, it's a matte brown but not too too dark. I mainly use it to contour the cheekbones.

and here's the pretty girl sitting next to that man in the car. lol

Health

Over the past year I have turned into a health nut! For those of you who do not know,

I am 5'6" so I can gain 5lbs and not looks like it well at this weight for now. In 2006 I weighed

145lbs which was my "comfort" zone. I was about to get married and did not care how I looked.

I get married in December 2006 and in May 2007, the hubby takes off to Iraq and I fly back home to Minnesota with my family. Boy was I in for it. I had gained 20lbs without noticing. Seriously, I mean my jeans were tight and I blamed the washer for it. hahahhaahahaha I laugh so hard every time I think about it. I was in love and did not care about how I looked. It hit me hard when everyone was like "whoa! you blew up!" lol...i was like :( But I accepted it and took it seriously.

So after returning home to the hubby I had already started losing getting into losing weight, but not as much. I needed a jump start, so I purchased the gazelle which is still and will always be my favorite. I got hired at Jcpenny's and worked as a sales associate, pretty much the person who puts all of the clothes back from the fitting rooms. It sure was a workout and I started shedding off the pounds! I changed our food and put no oil in whatever we ate. I cut my portions in half and started exercising more. By January I had slimmed down to 135lbs.

At this point I am already happy and amazed at how much my life had changed. I am more confident with myself and not to sound mean but the hubby liked it too. As of right now I go back and fourth between 127lbs and 130lbs. But I do have a goal of losing at least 10 more pounds. These are the hardest really.

BUT ANYWAYS! The 100 calorie snacks helped me because they are portioned out. It's probably better if you buy them from sam's because you get a whole lot more. Most of the stuff in the fridge is either low-fat/fat free/low calorie. We eat a lot of chicken and there is no soda in our fridge. Not that many sweets either. Life is good when you feel good!

J.R. Watkins Apothecary Hand & Body lotion in Lemon Cream

I bought this today and let me tell you...........
it is the best lotion i've ever bought for $5! It made my legs look super sexy and smooth, not only that but my legs really did feel soft and silky.

It smells like a lemon cake, seriously. I smells good, lemon cake with frosting I must add. I was just really surprised at how well it moisturized my skin. try it, it won't hurt.

It has been almost or officially one year since i've had my gazelle and I believe my body is getting used to it. It's pretty much a free breeze for me getting on there. So now I need something to amp up and tone my body. I don't really care about losing weight, I want to see muscles and lean meat! So the hubsters let me order the Stamina Body Glider and it's supposed to target all places on my body especially my abs! Can't wait to get it.
