H54F

It feels like it's been forever...and a day...since I've blogged.  I haven't even looked at my blog in over a month.  Poor, little, sad blog.  Sometimes a girl needs a blog break, right?  Right.  I decided to finally "check out" my blog today...May 31st was my last post.  Almost TWO months.  Enough blog break already!!  I figured my last post was a High Five for Friday so what better than to do a H54F as my "come back" post.  

Looking back at my last post, it really made me realize how much blogging truly keeps me reliable for certain things in life...eating health, baking some not-so-healthy treats, trying new beauty products, keeping my nails in tip top shape, and taking random pictures with my phone.  So, I think I'm over my bloggy break and excited to get back at it!  I plan on getting a new blog design and I'm a little nervous about that.  That would require making a decision...and if you read this post, you know how much I loathe making decisions!

I have a couple things that I can't wait to share with my readers.  One, I received a complimentary Beauty Box 5 that I am going to do a review on.  So look for that soon!  Also, we just got back from Sea World!  I won't make you sit on the couch and watch a home video of our family vacation...but I am definitely going to share some close-ups of Shamu!  I also received a free month's worth of Xyng - I'm going to start taking it next week and I'll do a couple reviews throughout the month.  

Ok...on to High Five for Friday....

As always, linking up with Lauren

1.  I had lunch with some pretty awesome girlfriends this week!  Two lunch dates in 1 week ... 1 at Pei Wei and the other at Panera Bread!

2.  I get to see my 4 favoritest girls this weekend!  My mom, sister, and nieces are coming to visit!  Skype is our normal means of communication with my nieces and sister since they live 12 hours away in Alabama.



3.  I am in week 2 of my bootcamp at home series.  I canceled my yoga membership for now.  I can workout at home for free.  More money in my pocket = more money to buy shoes and scrapbook stuff :)  It's all about priorities!


4.  About to start my 3rd week of the 30 Day Plank Challenge with my former fellow yogi girls!  I'm a little scared of the 5 minute day!  Pretty sure my arms will collapse and I will fall flat on my face.  I will try to get a picture of that for your viewing pleasure.  


5. My flowers are looking lovely!  Is it bad that I'm already over my summer flowers and ready for fall? Can't wait to plant some pansies and more mums!



This is my last Friday in my 20's!  I have made an executive decision to not be sad about this.  I am going to enter into my 30's hell on heels!!  I am also excited about transforming my 30 Before 30 List into my 35 Before 35 List.  I wasn't able to complete all of my goals but 12.5 out of 30 isn't bad for only have a year to complete everything ... since I decided to wait until I was 29 to create this list!  I'm counting half a point for the movies.  I've seen about half now.   

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn

A Batman Wedding and a $9 Wedding Dress

I was on this blog today and she was talking about how women spend so much money on wedding dresses.  It reminded me of my wedding and then I realized I've never blogged about it!!!  It's already been a year and half and I still haven't even scrapbooked it!!!  Where does the time go? Ok...to the dress.  I knew exactly what I wanted.  I wanted it to be short, satin, and a "pick-up" style dress.  I looked around at David's Bridal and other stores but I just couldn't see spending more than $100 on my dress.  (I've been married before and had the big, fancy wedding - and we see how well that worked out!!)  So this time, I wanted a small wedding and didn't want to spend much.  I walked into Ross one day looking for something else and decided to walk through the dresses to look for a dress for my sis, the MOH.  It was like the clouds opened up and the angels were singing and the sun beamed down on this dress.  You can't really tell from this pic,
