Lazy Saturday! I’ve spent this last week recovering from “the crud”. This is what I call it because this is how I feel! Quite a few parents and kids from Outdoor school picked this lovely virus up. It has been awful! Sure seems as though I’ve spent this year, a bit more sickly than previous years. I find it a bit ironic that I’ve been taking my vitamins AND working out. I decided that I was going to get in better shape and so I did. I am happy to say, that I have lost 22 lbs! Not been an easy journey! But it’s funny that I’ve been more sick than normal…kind of weird how things work out that way.
Took the kiddo and her friend to play WALL BALL for a few hours. They have SO much energy! I sat in my car and watched them. I read my book and texted with a good friend and stayed bundled up and warm. It’s been hard because I want to go for a run and I certainly want to play this game that my daughter is OBSESSED with!
My favorite food is Mexican food. I love tacos…no let me rephrase that, I LOVE TACOS! So tonight…Grilled Chicken Tacos with fresh homemade Pico de Gallo! These are the fresh ingredients the kiddo and I picked up from our local produce stand. I am going to slice up the beautiful ripe pineapples I scored, for $1 a piece for dessert. So, I’m thinking that propped up on the couch with good food and a movie sounds mighty fine tonight! =) Happy Saturday friends…
*CHEERS* To lazy days & Tacos!

Hello and Happy Fabulous Friday! Here is a quick post, on a topic I have posted on before. I am actually just RE-posting it! Hope it helps and pass on to those wives gentlemen!
Makeup brushes are essential in a great makeup application and if you don’t have them…I highly recommend investing in a good, quality set. However, your makeup brushes are like hair and we are talking the kind, you have on your head (not literally) but they need to be washed and cared for. Once a month is a good cleaning and if you use more makeup than normal in a month, then twice is great. The reason for washing is simple, BACTERIA. You wash your face each night (or should be doing so!) You wash your hair several times a week (or should be doing so!) You use your makeup brushes on your face most every day and near your eyes and nose. That “breakout” that you had last week…well it may not be from the source you thought it was. It could very well be bacteria from your brushes. So, here are some tips to care for those prized little possesions!
1) A mild shampoo (I like to use baby shampoo)
2) A clean towel or paper towels
3) A cup or a brush stand
4) Warm water
&
5) YOU listening to your favorite tunes on the ipod! (I do this all the time and I even dance!)
BRUSH CLEANING:
Get the head of your brush wet in the water, pour a bit of shampoo in the palm of your hand and gently make a circular motion, while “washing in the shampoo. Rinse and repeat until water runs clear. Try not get the entire brush wet because your brushes do have glue, to hold the hair in place. Too many times and they could start to fall out. Gently squeeze the water out of the brush and softly run over the towel. Then let dry, don’t let it lay flat on the towel because of a chance of mildew forming (Yucky!) Make your way through each brush and you will be living bacteria free!
Well, I hope this finds you all well and in good spirits…give it your best & do it in style, YOUR style!
*CHEERS* To rosy cheeks & red lips!

With the busy few weeks that we’ve had. We’ve taken the last few days to just enjoy each others company. Played some Yahtzee, some Rockband and went out on a lunch date today! The weather is rainy and gloomy! I can’t wait for this weekend! They are promising warm 65 degree weather. I will be waiting impatiently to see if they are right this time.
Looks like I need a pair of running shorts! Warm weather and all it seems appropriate. It’s amazing that all this new material, really makes the experience that much easier. However, I may cause a few car accidents as my legs could act as reflectors! They are CASPER WHITE! Also, I have a long lasting love affair with Adidas. However, I might just slip my foot into a Nike here soon and see how it feels. After all…that new ipod chip is pretty killer! But it makes me feel SO bad. Maybe Adidas won’t notice! ;P So there’s a few of my off the wall ramblings…
*CHEERS* To warm weather, good tenni-runners & coffee!WHOOP!

This last week we had the honor of chaperoning our daughter’s 5th grade Outdoor School. It was an experience we will NEVER forget. Some parent’s taught classes, some parent’s helped out where needed. We were definitely a united front! How could you not be with 70 5th graders!? Chris and I were asked to do the photography as “our job”. It was AWESOME! New friendships were forged, many laughs were shared and many good memories were made. Here are a few snapshots of us on our trip! Happy Monday!
*CHEERS* To fun trips & family love!
