this thing called breakfast

It may be normal for you, but to me, breakfast is alien to me. I NEVER used to eat breakfast, not even on the weekends when I have time. I am officially a breakfast eater. I have been eating oatmeal and a banana every morning at work. YUM! This weekend I'm hoping to make something REAL good. The oatmeal is Oat's Revolution brand: apples and cinnamon. Any suggestions on a quick healthy breakfast?

shrimp wrap and veggies

I have been eating fantastic this week. Oh wait, it's only Tuesday?? I have started Weight Watchers again, keeping track of my points. I have vowed to eat breakfast every morning. Breakfast contains of Oats Revolution oatmeal and a banana. For lunch it has been either a turkey sandwich, or in today's case a turkey salad. Last night for dinner I have THIS

The wraps are from Hy Vee, I can't think of the brand right now(I'll check at home). It's in the organic area. Delicious and better for you than other wraps. I only eat half at a time because they are so big. Shrimp is just frozen from Hy Vee (ps. why is shrimp so expensive) I steamed the shrimp in my microcooker for about 4 minutes. I poured some hot sauce on the shrimp and added sour cream. I kinda got a little carried away with the sour cream, but it is delish. The veggie mix I made myself by cutting up carrots and using canned veggies, I like this better than frozen. I finished off the night with a bowl of popcorn I made with a Christmas gift from my boyfriend 



Keep it up the healthy work!

beauty day

Bringing you up to speed here. Sunday is always my beauty day. It just makes me feel good to "clean myself up"


On "Sunday Beauty Day" I always start with my Freeman Clay Mask, which can be bought at Walgreen's  Then I use my Aria Clarisonic brush with my Yes To Carrots exfoliating cleanser. (on a normal day I use my Cetaphil face wash) After I wash I use Neutrogena treatment pads, which I only use once a week because it is so strong. Then, I use the pink bottle which contains Witch Hazel that I use for a toner. I buy it in a big bottle that I get from Amazon. My favorite part is next my St. Ives collagen elastin facial moisturizer. THIS LOTION. I will never by another face lotion again. Finally, at night I have been putting on Nivea sunkissed radiant skin. Trying to get my tan on. 

saturday shopping outfit

My cute, comfy outfit I wore last Saturday while doing some shopping.


My red shoes are from WALMART, believe it or not. Urban Outfitters plaid shirt. Victoria's Secret razor back tank. Leggings from Target? Bag is from Aldo, which was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend's sister. LOVE IT.

Gordman's haul

I am so happy with my Gordman purchases I made this weekend. I forget how much good stuff they have there. I needed silver heels to go with my blue dress. The skinny jeans were $16.00, how can you pass that up?

new decor

Good Monday. 

This weekend was pretty low key, but I did get somethings accomplished. Saturday I made my way to Hobby Lobby and Gordmans. I FINALLY finished was decorating the big bathroom. The final touch I needed to sand or my makeup brushes. Thanks HL. In the first frame I got everything at HL. The toothbrush holder is from Walmart, and the "bowls" are from Goodwill. As well as the tall green tin and makeup brush holder. The picture is from a craft show. And finally, soap pump is from Target.



I have now started to really decorate the living room. Just to be clear we have lived in our apartment for a year... I'm slow. This was added to the side wall of the living room.
