My 1st Zumba Experience

So I received my new Zumba wii game last night and came home and tried it out for the 1st time.  It totally kicked my butt- it's hard.  Wow- was that a good workout!  Not only is it fun and great exercise but when it's all said and done I'll be ready to hit the Salsa club :)

Happy Anniversary!

I can't believe it's been 6 years today!  It's been a wonderful journey-I never thought it would be possible to love someone more after all these years- but I do!  God knew exactly what I needed and even though I waited a long time for him- he's perfect for me!  We had planned a lovely weekend at the beach condo- but the weather was really crappy so we postponed until next weekend- but I still enjoyed just spending the day with my husband.  I love that man :)

How a Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks makes EVERYTHING okay!

Can I just tell you- no matter how bad my week is-stopping on a friday morning at Starbucks for a Caramel Macchiato makes it all better.  It is just a cup full of goodness that makes me say- "Doesn't matter what comes my way today"!  How about that- who knew that a cup of goodness could make such a difference.  So I say "Bring it!"  Now I'm probably going to regret that but oh well- at least I had a cup of goodness today! 

My new Favorite is Smashbox Cosmetics

I'm in love with their products.  I recently started using their Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder and I love it....so on Tuesday's and Thursday's they have free products.  They've had some great stuff for free and with every order you also get free samples to try other products.  So I bought 2 items that were on sale and I got 2 large samples for free- a bronzer type stuff and waterproof eyeshadow and 2 small samples of foundation primer.  It was packaged very nicely, it almost looked like someone had sent me a gift.  By the way they always offer Free Shipping!  So I definitely recommend you try their products!!!!  www.smashbox.com

Do you "Zumba"?

So I keep hearing everyone talking about Zumba- I hear it's a great workout.  I've been thinking about getting it for the Wii but it's $40, so today it's on sale for $25 as the deal of the day at Amazon.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=cs_top_nav_gb27  So I'm very curious about it as I'm constantly looking for a new fun way to exercise and stay motivated. 

Monday Mornings....uggg!

I can't be the only person that hates Monday mornings.....okay it's not just the morning I hate.  What makes it so difficult is #1 my husband is off on mondays.....doesn't really seem fair.  Well my one peaceful time of the day is my commute in, well as peaceful as a commute can be- but monday mornings- they start calling me on the radio on my way in and I hear my phone beeping with email after email and text after text.  I stop at a light and check my phone- 35 emails already at 6:50am- seriously?  That just starts my day off with a bang and puts me in a bad mood- like I need any help!

Reflections on Life

I find the older I get the more I think about my life and what I've done with it and how I've affected other people.  Recently my 17 yr old niece made some unwise decisions and she kept saying I didn't hurt anyone but myself.  I'm not sure we've been able to make her understand even yet that almost all of your decisions affect others.  I realize you cannot go through life trying to please everyone but there are some decisions in our lives we really need to think before we execute.  I truly try to live my life pleasing to God, am I perfect....of course NOT.   But I do think it's important to live your life with others in mind.  I personally have been very blessed in so many areas and there are some areas that I struggle with that I haven't been so blessed- it's a constant juggling act for me to remind myself that God has been so good to me.  Even though God hasn't given me the desire of my heart...Yet...doesn't mean I should be ungrateful or forget the wonderful blessings I have had my entire life.  I just really think it's important to reflect from time to time and remember all the wonderful things in our lives- it's easy for us all to focus on the bad since in today's society it seems so prevalent.

My 3rd attempt @ a Blog!

So I've never been successful keeping up with a blog but I'm hoping this time will be different.  I'd like to share some of my crazy life and some of my bargains I find along the way as well.  Not to mention my wealth of knowledge (insert big smile here)!  So for my 1st post I thought I'd mention some things in my life I'd never like to live without because they are that fabulous....

1.  Dropbox- I'm a bit of a control freak, no surprise for those of you that really know me ;)- but dropbox keeps everything in one place and I can access from my home computer, work computer, phone, galaxy, anywhere- I love it.  www.dropbox.com
2.  Hip2save- website- she always lists the best deals and great coupons- love that site- check it more than twice a day!  www.hip2save.com
3.  Smashbox- Hydrating Powder- Just started using a new makeup regiment- Revlon Colorstay Foundation with Smashbox- Hydrating Powder- I love it- it goes on so easily and doesn't feel like you are really wearing anything and it lasts all day.  Not to mention every Thursday smashbox offers free products and lots of free samples.  www.smashbox.com

4.  My Samsung Galaxy- I love, love, love this thing- I use it for EVERYTHING....I have amazon kindle and 3 other readers on there so I constantly read books on there.  Amazon does a free app a day also so I have tons of free games and other cool apps.

5.  My new Keurig Coffee Maker- I'm not a huge coffee drinker- at least I didn't used to be but my parents bought us one for our anniversary and I absolutely love it- it makes excellent coffee!
