What I'm Loving...+ Weigh In Wednesday

Hi Ya'll!!

Today is Wednesday so I am linking up with the lovely Jamie at This Kind of Love for What I Love Wednesday and with Courtney at Journey of a Dreamer for Weigh In Wednesday.  To learn more about WIW, check out this post.

So sit down, grab a cup of coffee or even better a glass of wine (what?  It's after 12 and completely acceptable!) and find out what I'm loving on this beautiful December Day!

Let's get the dreaded weigh in part over with. 

I actually LOST 1.2 lbs and I have absolutely no idea how because I have only exercised once and up until Monday I was eating like a Europeans kid on his/her first trip to America...all fast food, all the time.  Plus fried deer meat on Saturday and a freaking blizzard from DQ to top it all off Sunday night. 

Nope, not one of those things even had to do with the holidays. 

It all had to do with my rebellion against dieting and the fact that I decided Monday would be my "start" day. 

I have been good this week...you know, the past two days.

Whatevs. 

Watch out.  Next week's weight loss is going to blow ya'll away. 

Did someone say chocolate?  I kid, I kid. 

Now...On to the fun part.
(One day I'll think nutrition/fitness is the fun part, right?  That's what all the fitness/weight loss blogs tell me.) 
What I'm Loving.

 Ya'll know how I love a good bargain.

This guy above is like $50 at BB&B and I scored it for $20 at Ross today.

Someone is going to be so lucky when they open this at one of the Chinese Christmas exchanges we have this year.

We only  have 5.  yeah. 5

 Still talking about Ross and it's awesomeness.

I got these 2 dresses today for under $25, yes for BOTH.

Ross, where in the hell is my "Rossome" commercial equivalent to the Maxenista commercials?

Get on that. 

And this beauty is, of course, from Ross as well.

Blazer's are all the rage.  Did you know?

I'm thinking this will make it's debut at one of the 5 Christmas celebrations we have this year!

 I just love my dining room table centerpiece this year.

I wanted something different and my mom gave me the idea of the candy.

I already had the apothecary jars, the glitter balls & the tray. 

All I had to buy was the candy.

I love all the COLOR.

Def one of my favorite decorations this year.

It makes me think of being a kid and what's not great about that?

 OH my goodness. 

My bff told me about these salads.

They come with all the fixins.

All you do is mix them together when you're ready to eat.

PLUS they're low in cals.

The only negative is that it's not super filling.

But add a piece of fruit w/ lunch and you're set.

I'm only sort of starving right now.

Continuing on the food subject. 

Hello, I didn't get fat because I hate food!

This 2 Alarm Chili Kit is the bomb.com.

My SIL told me about it awhile back.

I've been waiting and waiting for cold weather to make it.

Finally, we got into the 50's this week so I jumped at the opportunity to use this.

It was SO damn good. 
We had it two nights in a row.  That good.

Last but not least, I'm LOVING the Scentsy Festival of Trees.

We don't do a real Christmas tree. 

We had one one time when I was a kid and all I can remember is having to water it all the time and vacuum up all those damn needles.

No thanks.

So, this makes me feel like I have a real tree without all the work.

Perfect.

My SIL sells Scentsy, hop on over to her website and getcha some!

Well, my lovelies that's what I'm loving....go link up w/ Jamie and tell us what you're loving!

Enjoy...The Curvy Life.

What I'm Loving....

Hi Ya'll!

I started this post yesterday for the "What I Love Wednesday" link up but I ran out of time to finish so I'm just posting it today and not linking up.

Here's what I'm loving right now....

My new blog design!! 

Do you love it?  I do!

I used Chris, you can find a link to his services HERE. He's Holly's hubby and did an amazing job, was great to work with and had a seriously low price!  I think he's under charging for his services so you better hurry on over there and tell him I referred you! 
I was referred to them by a friend...she has a blog, it's kind of famous.  She's pretty damn inspiring!  Mama Laughlin!  Check it out if you aren't already following her! 


Birchbox! 

 If you haven't heard of or signed up for Birchbox yet, you're missing out!  It's this awesome website that sends you a box each month filled with amazing high end beauty product samples.  Do I always use them, no, but getting that little box with pink tissue paper every month makes me a happy, happy girl!

You should seriously get one!  If you do, please use this link so they know I referred you!!

This is one of my boxes.  Awesome, no?

Urban Decay Naked Pallet.

I know, I'm like WAY late to the game on this one.  All my friends told me how wonderful it was but I just couldn't bring myself to spend $50 on eyeshadow!  Well, ya'll...it's worth EVERY penny!  I also have Naked 2 but it's not as great as the first one, in my opinion!  If you like lighter eye shadow, it would be for you but I like dramatic eye shadow!

My new office. 

I finally got to move to a location closer to my  house!  I was driving over an hour to work everyday in awful traffic!  I now have my own office w/ a DOOR!  I use speaker phone, a lot!  Probably too much. 

My curling wand. 

I have naturally curly hair but for some reason when I blow dry my hair straight and try to curl it with a curling iron the curls fall out almost immediately and I look like a scraggly haired kid.  Annoying.  I bought a new straightener, an EXPENSIVE one and tried so hard to learn how to curl my hair with a straightener.  It wasn't happening.  I like to consider myself pretty "beauty savvy" but that my friends was not the case when it came to curling my hair with a straightener.  I asked all my friends on FB what they used and several girls recommended a curling wand.  I was at Wal-Mart the other day so I picked one up.  It's made by Revlon and was around $30.  It gets super hot and works great.  I can't find a picture of it anywhere on the internets.  It's their line of products for Breast Cancer Awareness it is HOT PINK and comes with a glove.  I found it at my local Wal-Mart...

So boring without a picture! :(


American Horror Story. 

Anyone else watch it?  I didn't watch it last year and all my friends raved about it.  I figured I would give it a shot this year since it's a completely different cast and story line.  It's creepy. But creepy in a good way.  Not scary.

If you're new here....I love new followers...I do a cartwheel everytime I get one!  Actually, I just smile b/c I'm 30 and cartwheels are hard on this old gals body!

Enjoy....The Curvy Life!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Good Morning Ya'll!  I haven't done a WILW post in a long time...so here goes! 

I'm loving my Christmas Mantle at home.  

It's our first Christmas in the house and I had a blast decorating.

 

Here's our Christmas Tree.  My Honey and I had so much fun decorating it...he was such a good sport this year.  Usually he's more of a Bah-Hum-Bug type...but not this year.  I'm loving it!!

I love this picture of My Honey and Zane (my nephew) on Thanksgiving.  Stephen had so much fun with Zane.  I don't know about you, but seeing my man playing with kiddos is sexy to me!  (Not in a weirdo, Sandusky kind of way...get your mind out of the gutter!)

Yep...I'm loving hydrocodone right now. 

I've got something going on with my back and this is the only thing getting me through work and life everyday.  HAHA!  Not really...but it makes it much better.  I'm getting an MRI today to hopefully get some insight into what the heck's going on!  

Seriously, this show is the BEST new series on TV this year.  My Honey and I don't agree on many TV programs but this is one that we can't miss each week.  We love it!! It's pure greatness! 

Watch it!  Sundays on Showtime!

Who doesn't love some Ron? 

And I'm totally loving this little man!!  My nephew Zane!  He's the happiest, cutest, sweetest baby! 

I can't get enough of him! 

 If you're like me and can't get enough of this little muffin...check out his mommy's blog,

 Mommy In the Making!

One last thing I'm loving...I'm loving that I won't have to see anymore Facebook "Thankful" posts!  It's the last day of November!  YAY! 

Does this make me a bad person?  Ugh...I just can't stand those posts!!  Anyone else with me?

Well, I hope you all have a FABULOUS Wednesday.

Linking up w/ Jamie at This Kind of Love for WILW

Enjoy...The Curvy Life!

WILW

I hope everyone is loving this beautiful day as much as I am...even though it's a little overcast here in the Big D! 

Here is what I'm loving today....

My precious baby girl, Sadie Mae.  She is by far the sweetest most loving dog and I love how she cuddles up next to me at night!

How cute is my new shirt that my Sister-In-Law had made for me as part of my hostess gift!?!  I. LOVE. IT.

Already totally in love with this handsome little man...my nephew Zane!  He'll be here in just a few (like 6) weeks!!

While we're on the subject of my nephew...I made him his first Easter Basket...even though he won't be here at Easter...love the way it turned out!

I think I am addicted to the Southwest Chargrilled Chicken Salad at Chick-Fil-A.  I find myself CRAVING it! 

Of course, my Honey!  I love him more each day and I don't know how that is possible when I already love him with ALL my heart!

I saved the BEST for last.  I am LOVING that God sacrificed His only Son for ME, for YOU, for the World.  So that we could have Eternal Life in Heaven with Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. 

As a Christian, Easter is the most important Holiday we can celebrate!  Happy Easter my friends!

What I'm linking up w/ Jamie at "This Kind of Love" for What I'm Loving Wednesday (WILW)!

This is what I'm loving this beautiful Wednesday.....

I finally broke down and bought myself a pair of Toms and oh my...I'll never go back. 

They're Ah-MAZING!  If you don't have a pair...splurge on yourself...you will not regret this!!!

 My BFF told me about the new Coach Poppy perfume and I'm LOVING it! 

I just want to smell myself all the time! :) HEHE!

 A staple in my on/off dieting world is gum and this Extra Sweet Watermelon gum is delish!!!

I made the decision to stop using tanning beds but I could not deal with being pasty white...so white you could see my veins!  EW...and I can't afford to Mystic once a week so I decided to try an at home Spray Tan.  I'm IN.LOVE. with Neutrogena's MicroMist.  I use the Medium because I'm so fair skinned and I spray myself every other day before bed.  It's great too because I shower at night and  it doesn't really have that "fake tan smell" so I don't feel like I need another shower the next morning!  It's about $10 a can and I go through a week...still beats $40 for one mystic tan and sure beats being pasty!

 I am digging my Cat Eye Sunglasses I got at Target a few weeks ago.  I feel cool as a cat when I wear them! (Yeah, that last line was super cheesy...)

I'm LOVING My Honey and his wonderful sense of humor...this is us a few months back at an 80's party...he came up with his "80's Coach's" costume all by himself!!  Isn't he adorable??

So what are YOU loving this Beautiful Day?

(Go ahead, follow me...it would MAKE MY DAY...and, I'll follow you back!)
