She killed it with kisses. (Great lyrics!)

Good morning!! I am in the midst of my weekend. I was very ready for it. The allergies/sinuses left me completely exhausted. I have slept very hard and deep the last few nights. My body has just needed it. I must be fighting off something. The sinus issue was on the verge of being bad but I fought it! Yesssuhhhh! Being healthy has it's perks for sure. And I'm sure I just jinxed myself. ;)

I am so excited for today. I get to hang out with my bud Jessie! The Lucy to my Ethel. We just have a great time when we hang out. No drama, no weirdness, no rudeness. And we have the same sense of humor and both complete goofballs. We will get a workout from walking all over NYC and belly laughing as we always do when we hang out! We're going to The Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the annual fashion exhibit. She's one of my fashion friends in "the biz" and I saw them promoting the exhibit a couple of weeks ago and thought "I need to go see that with Jess!" so we said "Hell yes!" and put it on our calender. It's a reason to hang out more than anything. Get in the city and spend the day.....and will be fun! Life is so busy and we don't get to hang out as much as we'd like so this will be perfect. Taking the 9:39 train! We have to go from the train at a station a couple of towns over in South Norwalk because I live in the same town as that commuter train collision! So scary! And they are not running here at this time. I told her I didn't care if we had to crawl, we were going to get in and do our thing today! haha!

And then later my boys come home after being gone all weekend. I can't wait to snuggle them!

I have to admit that I have found a new place I want to indulge at. This is a reward after a long workout and eating healthy week. But check it out. In NYC. The Baconery!! http://baconery.com/  I don't eat that kind of thing often but wow...can you imagine?? My eye was drawn to the chocolate bacon with bacon. Seriously?? Where have you been all my life?!

I have been trying to "cute up" my feet for the Spring/Summer. I did get a pedicure which helped. But I like them to be soft and supple. I just found a homemade foot scrub I think I'm going to try. Rosemary and Peppermint! Has to smell amazing. It's 1/4 cup of kosher salt, 1 tbsp table salt, 1 tsp coconut oil, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 drops peppermint oil and 1/2 tsp rosemary. You could really add whatever oils and herbs you like but I love this combo and can't wait to try it.

I also found a recipe for a homemade vitamin c mask I think I'm going to try. If you have very sensitive skin then you might want to be careful with this. And in general if you feel a burning sensation rinse it off immediately. Vitamin C is very potent but that is why it has long been used for anti-aging.
Mix 1 tbsp of powdered Vitamin C, 2 Vitamin-E liquid gel pills and a few drops of water. Mix together and apply to damp skin. Massage in a circular motion around the face avoiding the eye area. Let sit for 5-10 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water.

Have a great day everyone. Enjoy your Sunday. I know I will! I have an idea for the next blog. I'm always thinking of different things to share. Sometimes it's hard to limit it to just a couple of things for each blog to avoid it being a book. I know some of them are long!!

I saw the movie Eat, Pray, Love with Jess..and this song is the one they used. So it will be our song for the day. :) Florence and the Machine are great! Again, quirky and different.

Let me leave you with this. Ahhh, sometimes you don't need to go very far for inspiration.
