Yoga Smoga


Jacket:  Kohls - Gift, Jeggings:  Walmart - $7.00, Shoes:  Charlotte Russe - Gift





I purchased my very first Yoga DVD on Amazon the other day (along with the huge Zumba box set) and I am on a kick to get exercising.  Gyms do not work for me as they are boring so I wanted to find an exercise routine that works for me and that I enjoy.  As I was purchasing the Zumba set, I decided to get a Yoga beginner DVD. 

After doing 30 minutes of it last night and again this morning, I can say that I am officially hooked.  You feel your whole body melting away as it relaxes and the only thing on your mind is your breath in and out, in and out, in and out.  Who knew that just breathing could be so relaxing.

Leo loves his greens

Come on Dad, not this game again.


Just a lick, that's all I want.


Ha, fooled ya! I want it all!


Don't fight it, just give it.


Leo = 1, Dad = 0

I am at a blank

Shirt:  JCPenney - FREE, Jeans:  Thrifted - $4.00, Boots:  JCPenney


I am at a blank for words this morning.  Food hasn't been ate and mountain dew hasn't been drunk so my brain is not functioning well.  I will write to you what I am looking at right now.....my 'The Office' calendar is what I read first every morning.  Enjoy.


Michael:  All this arguing reminds me of a very funny story.  You see this on my desk?  You know who gave me this?  My girlfriend, Tara, who lives in New York City.

Dwight:  Wait, what girlfriend?

Michael:  I haven't told you about her.

Dwight:  I find that unlikely.  You e-mail me when you get a new zit.

DIY Vest

For this DIY, you will need a yard of fabric, scissors and 5 minutes to spare.

Start off by folding your fabric in half (side to side not top to bottom) and cut the bottom to the length that you would like.


Once you have made your cut, unfold the fabric and lay it out flat.


Now comes the tricky part.....my method for cutting the arm holes was to lay down on the fabric and make a dent on where my shoulders were.  I got up and cut a slit at an angle underneath where my shoulder mark was.  Repeat the same steps for the other arm hole.


Note:  After trying it on I ended up cutting more off the bottom.  So don't worry about your length on the first time, you can always adjust it.

Skirt or Pants?

Shirt:  Target - $6.00, DIY Vest, Belt:  Thrifted - $1.00,  Pants:  ???, Boots:  JCPenney - $15.00
It's hard to tell in this picture but I am actually wearing pants, not a long skirt.  For some reason, everytime I see a long skirt it reminds me of the Duggar family.  I love the show and power to them for wanting to dress modest but I could not live like that.  The best part of my day is getting dressed.  Walking through my closet, imagining outfits in my head.  That is my form of self expression.  Take that away from me and I'm not sure what kind of person I would be.

Candy Cane

Shirt:  Thrifted - $1.49, Jeans:  Walmart - $7.00, Shoes:  Charlotte Russe - Gift


For those of you who know me, know how much I love Christmas time.  I will watch 'White Christmas' year round and listen to Christmas music in July.  So of course I was drawn to this red/white striped shirt.  It reminds me of candy canes!
