Song Of The Week: My Body

I was doing really well with my news resolution to work out more often and then work got really busy and then it was my birthday week and now it is the second week of February and I haven't much to show and my jeans are fitting a bit tight from all the celebrating.  Which is why I was SOOO excited that today's LA Groupon was $35 for 5 classes to Circuit Works in Venice.

Many of my gf's attend classes there and they all absolutely gush of how wonderful (and hard) the classes are.  I am very excited (and a little scared) to get in and experience it myself.  Which is why I chose "My Body" by Young the Giant to help me get motivated.  I mean with lyrics like,

"My Body tells me no, but I won’t quit
cause I want more, cause I want more"

how can you not push yourself a little harder?  If you live in LA and are interested in getting a little sweaty,  be sure to sign up for the deal here and who knows, maybe I'll see you there!

Happy {Birthday Celebration} Weekend

{via}

I am pretty sure this will be my argument for Saturday night when I head out to Santa Monica to grab drinks and celebrate good times with the friends. 

I apologize for the lack of posts this week, but can share that my 31st birthday so far has been my favorite of all!  Can't wait to share all the goodies with ya'll next week.  I am taking an extra long weekend and will return on Tuesday! 

Smooches!

Forever Frugal Friday

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, not one to really celebrate this holiday, I will find any and every excuse to purchase additional lacy items to my already full drawer.  These lovely options from forever are making it harder and harder to find an excuse why I shouldn't purchase new goodies.

Be sure to treat yourself (or someone else perhaps) to something pretty this V-Day!

Scenes from the Weekend

Enjoyed a Grilled Three Cheese Sandwich and Tomato Basil Soup from Westside Tavern Los Angeles before seeing The King's Speech - which was outstanding!

Braved the weather and hit the open seas!  For the most part the weather cooperated and the beers and company made it all the merrier.  Plus adding a little extra sparkle to the sea never hurts either :)

It was a pretty chill weekend, I took it easy in order to prep for the busy work week ahead and birthday festivities! 

Song Of The Week: Love You Long Time

A few weeks back I lunched with my old co-worker and pal Ryan who bragged of his incredible new 3 CD mixed tape that I just had to have.  Included in this 3 CD compilation, was this gem by The Black Eyed Peas, Love You Long Time.  I am absolutely addicted to the electronic beat and chorus of this song.  Lately, I have been listening to this song every morning I am in my car as it immediately wakes me up and has me in a good mood. 

It is equally awesome in the gym and getting ready on a Friday or Saturday night.  The Black Eyed Peas always know how to create infectious tunes that can make anybody get up and dance. 

As for what the "Velvet Lounge" stands for, I will leave to your imagination...
