Word Up Wednesday


to put it bluntly....







mmm...chocolate.  i celebrated "fat tuesday" at The Yard with this gal, and bid adieu to chocolate until Easter Sunday with the killer dessert below...



chocolate cake with peanut butter ganache filling, marshmallow fluff and banana ice cream.

Song Of The Week: Whip My Hair {Cover}



I pride myself in enjoying almost all genres of music.  The only music I tend to avoid of not listen to is heavy metal.  I mean every once in a while you can find me jamming out to some Metallica, but that's about as hard as I get...until I heard this spectacular cover of Willow Smith's Whip My Hair by Skull Tape. 

I was not a fan of the original song and it drove me crazy whenever I heard it on the radio, this version however, kicks major ass and totally has me wanting to whip my hair back and forth in the car listening.  The song at moments is a little hardcore and not for all but then at different times mellow and quite lovely. 

You can download the song free here and get to whipping your hair back and forth as soon as possible.

Happy {Heart} Weekend


This weekend I am filling myself with things I love....AKA friends, food, B and fun!

Hope you have a spectacular weekend with those you love! 

XOXO

Apothica.com Beauty Winner!!

I would first like to apologize for completely forgetting to announce the winner of the $25 gift card to Apothica!  I was supposed to announce it Wednesday and just had a blonde moment! 

 
And the winner is Christina from These are a few of Christina's favorite things!!  Congratulations Christina and thank you to all that entered!  I can't wait to share my review of the items I recently received from Apothica. 

Thank you also to Apothica for hosting such a great giveaway!!

Forever Frugal Friday

My sweet sister sent me over a gift card to Forever 21 that I can't wait to use.  Below are two items that I will be on the hunt for specifically and I am also looking forward to checking out the Rory Beca Collection.



I love this California Burnout Top and think it would look so cute with my Legging Jeans from the Gap and some flat boots.  I like that it isn't fitted but still has some style to it, and it helps me declare my love of California!


I am still on a quest to update my work wardrobe and I think this Tiered Scallop Edge Skirt would be the perfect addition.  I think this skirt could also be a great piece in coral for Easter!

I am hoping to come back with some great finds this weekend and I will be sure to share the goods!

Word Up Wednesday


Best thing to say when you first step out of bed.





This has been my mantra these past two days.  Workout dedication, here I come...



I wish this read, Keep Calm and Drink Starbucks instead, but I love sitting at the Sbux by my work, throwing my headphones in and reading my latest book and sipping on some coffee or tea.  Perfectly calming.

Psssssst...


Psssssst.....I have confession...

I have been cheating on my regular Batiste Dry Shampoo - Blush (5.05 oz.) with Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo 5.3 oz (150 g) and I don't think I ever want to go back to the old one.

I found Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo 5.3 oz (150 g) at Walgreen's a few weeks back and thought for $6.99 who cares if I hate it. 

Guess what, I don't hate it and actually am quite enamoured with the goodness that is Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo 5.3 oz (150 g).  It has allowed me and my fine blonde hair to go days without washing.  I used to only be able to get away with every other day.  With this baby, I washed my hair on Wednesday and didn't wash it again until Sunday!!  Yes I wore my hair up on Saturday so I got away with an extra day, but this stuff is seriously the bomb.com. 

So if you are looking to add a little time into your mornings (and a little volume) be sure to pick up a bottle (or two), you won't be regretting it, I promise. 

Psssssst....pass the secret along!
