I hope you had a good night. I did. I went to grab a bite with a group after work. I joined a couple of Meetup groups. They are just for getting out and doing various things. Hiking, etc. I have Tues free (custody wise) and my friends are not always able to get out that night so I joined one for local foodies to try various places. Pretty cool! Had some Italian Tapas and a glass of wine. The shrimp and creamy polenta and scallops were amazing. I did splurge on a scoop of Nutella Gelato too. Nutella is probably one of my favorite indulgences ever. But overall it was a light meal and I didn't feel stuffed. If you live in CT, try this place in Norwalk. http://barsugo.com/ Apparently their meatballs were great. It was very cozy too.
The Vitamin-C serum I bought seems great! I don't want to give a true review until at least two weeks using it but I am happy with the results so far. I can have sensitive skin and it hasn't done anything yet and it just feels so smooth and soft. The brand is The Mad Hippie. You gotta love that name! And I found it much better priced on Drugstore.com. They have a whole line too. Check it out here. http://www.madhippie.com/ . It's all natural which I love. Vitamin C has been proven to be effective in anti-aging. Check out the ingredient list here and what each item does. http://www.madhippie.com/shop/vitamin-c-serum/
As with any vitamin-C serum, apply it and wait a good 20 minutes before applying any other moisturizer. Give it a good chance to soak into your skin. It takes very little so it will last a long time and it's probably a quarter of the price of most of vitamin-c serums out there. You can read the various reviews on their website and on Drugstore.com as well. And men, this can work for you too! :)
I like to check out ideas for quick morning workouts. I can't get to the gym every day but I like to do something every day. As I've said before I will do calf raises at work sometimes when standing for awhile. I'm such a goof!! But they work.
I just read this for a quick idea to burn 100 calories.
March in place for 1 minute
Jog in place for 1 minute
Jumping Jacks for 1 minute
Long Jumps for 1 minute
Jog Lightly for 1 minute
Jumping Jacks for 1 minute
Squat and kick, Alternating Legs for 1 minute
Jog lightly for 1 minute
Long Jumps for 1 minute
Most of that seems simple and easy enough. I'd like to test the calorie burn with a heart rate monitor to see. Long jumps though?! I'm not sure that would be great on my back!! With my clumsiness I just don't see that ending well. :p The rest are easy enough. Jumping jacks are great. If you want to get your heart rate up and it's hard to do anything else, do those!
Here is another idea. The absence of long jumps seems safer for me!! lol!
15 push ups
20 sit ups
25 squats
20 alternating lunges
80 jumping jacks
60 second wall sit
Repeat 3 times.
As I type this, they just said on the news that the average woman's handbag contains more bacteria than the average toilet seat. And leather bags are the worst. Now that is disgusting!!! Thanks for such a lovely way to think during the day! hehehe! Now every woman is going to go disinfect her bag. :p
I have thought of doing this in the Fall. It's fun. I did the red ombre..but the red fades really fast. This would be subtle but fun. And temporary. I would only have it on the ends as the ombre style is. But this color is pretty and not too flashy. Hmm, we'll see!! I just luuurrrve purple. Not quite sure it needs to be on my hair yet though. It's badass in a mature way.
This was one of my favorite songs for a long time when it came out. I was a whippersnapper...but it remains a favorite. I appear to have always been pretty eclectic with music. I come by it honestly as my parents are the same. I love Aimee Mann! She's been around a long time too! :)
Yet another photo. It's a hodgepodge day here! I am so random. I hope all y'all don't mind! :D My mom, brother and myself. Proof that I've always been a goofy cheeseball! :) And hey my brothers socks match my shirt. That is not fashion that is easily copied! :p

I heard that a woman's handbag is one of the germiest places, too. Seems you get a lot from bathroom floors. It is recommended that you should never place your handbag on the counter where you prep food because of all the germs that it carries.
