Weekend Pictures!

Happy Monday dolls! I know I have been seriously slacking on blogging - I will try to post regularly this week - is it bad that some days I just don't feel like it and am not inspired? But then sometimes I get on a roll where I want to blog everyday! Lol.. I hope this is normal. I had a great weekend as usual - I would say the highlights would be finding my birthday dress (YAY THANK YOU SAKS OFF FIFTH AVENUE!) and went to the Tim McGraw/Kenny Chesney concert last night (AMAZING)! Let me tell you something - man those guys are HOT! both such hotties! damn!

I secretly wanted to buy this hat! 

me and my friend kenny! 

packed out the panthers stadium! 

I tweeted about this the other day - but my new favorite way to make plain grilled chicken yummier - one wholly guacamole 100 cal pack, mix in some salsa & eat with your chicken! So good! For reference, I cook my chicken in Pam cooking spray (olive oil) & use Mrs. Dash seasoning - the healthiest and no sodium way to make your chicken and it still turns out delicious! Another healthy side - steamed broccoli and sauteed sweet potatoes!

 

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Much love!

My California Trip!

Hello loves! I haven't had much time to blog lately - I just got back from a family trip to California this past Monday night. We had such an amazing time and I am so sad it is over! I was able to see most of my friends which was great! San Jose will always have a special place in my heart - I had the most amazing year of my life living there and I am sad it is over! My sister Natalie graduated from college and it was also her birthday and we were there for Father's day as well. 

natalie's 22nd birthday! 

reunited with one of my best friends on earth! haley :)

My week so far...

Happy Wednesday everyone! I have been super busy at work this week with sales training and setting up appointments and working out leads with clients! I am so excited because tomorrow I travel to CA for my sister Natalie's graduation AND birthday! Also - father's day! It is going to be an amazing weekend in beautiful San Jose with my family. If you have been following my blog for a while - you know I lived in San Jose for one year and I made some of the best friends of my life. I HATE being so far away from them! I am used to my friends living in different states but it is still hard! I cant wait to be back in my old stomping grounds - aka santana row. 

I also cannot believe my sister is graduating from COLLEGE! I am so unbelievably proud of her! And she is also going to be 22 which is just CRAZY to me! Natalie is moving to Charlotte with me and I literally could not be happier - we were the best roommates when we lived together and I can't wait to have my little buddy back! 

charlotte randomly had storms all this week - today was the first sunny day - the best thing to do when its rainy and gross out is go for Pho! Pho is a Vietnamese soup that you can get at most Vietnamese restaurants - so absolutely delicious! My friends and I decided to go on Monday after work 

My Shoemint "Mia" shoes came in - I AM IN LOVE!!! Such great quality - I am loving this site 


CALI forcast looks like perfection!!! bye humid south! 


lunch at my favorite salad place today with my starbucks tea! 


I came across these on pinterest yesterday! 

made me laugh! so true for me at the moment! 
 

this one made me laugh the most - anytime I am out shopping or do anything important all I can think about is my blog! haha! 
 


VERY. TRUE.


I will leave y'all with that!

Weekend Pictures!

Well it is Monday again! I hope you all had a great weekend. I honestly did barely anything except go shopping on Friday night and go on a 8 mile hike early Saturday morning. I can barely walk I am so extremely sore, but it was such a fun thing to do! 

Okay - so if you know me IRL - you KNOW I am NOT a nature person - I have an extreme bee phobia and I just hate bugs in general but I have been wanting to try new things outside of my comfort zone aka do more things than just going out and shopping on the weekends. So Saturday morning, my friends Kenny and Daniela went on a hike with me to a place called crowder's mountain about 30 miles south of Charlotte. The last time I went hiking was in Cali with my sister to Castle Rock and it was literally one of the most beautiful places on earth. Not gonna lie - Cali has much prettier scenery but I enjoyed my hike in NC a lot too. The hike was about 8 miles total back and forth - we definitely got our workout in for the weekend! I want to make this a monthly thing :)

Sunday was spent running some errands, getting a pedicure, starbucks, and then doing A LOT of MBA research!

My new favorite - unsweet iced green tea with a spash of passion tea! YUMMY! 

I ended my weekend with a glass of merlot and the latest RHONJ episode. I have been a RHONJ fan ever since season one and honestly, I do not even know whose side I am on anymore. I feel like its all so complicated and twisted! I am over this fight - I kind of miss Danielle. and Kim G. At least it was more entertaining and not the same thing over and over again! 

Stay tuned for my May/Spring Favorites video later today (being uploaded as we speak... aka type!)

Confessional Fridays!

Happy Friday my friends! Today is my first Friday linking up to Confessional Fridays from the lovely Leslie's Blog - A Blonde Ambition - definitely check her blog out if you haven't - she has such cute style and is a sweetheart, not to mention hilarious! 

1) I confess that even though today is the first day that I am actually feeling like a real human being after a week long battle with the stomach flu - all I can think about is DAMN pinkberry!? WTF is wrong with me? I will resist... until tomorrow? 

2) I may or may not have gotten starbucks on the way to work today - in my defense it was a grande iced coffee with just a splash of soy milk - hope this doesn't affect my stomach too much! OOPS! #starbucksaddict

3) I confess that this week while I was sick in bed, I rewatched almost three seasons of one of my favorite shows - GREEK! It is one of those shows I can watch OVER and OVER again. If you have never watched it before - you should! Especially if you were in a sorority in college - but warning... it will make you so nostalgic - I miss mixers, formals, sorority dramz, frat boys, EVERYTHING! 

4) I have a sick obsession with buying bracelets for arm candy, arm swag, arm party, arm whateveryouwanttocallit! I seriously need to stop. I think I have purchased 20 bracelets in the past 2 months. that is NOT okay. In my defense - some of them are from forever 21... 

Today's goods

 5) The plus side of my stomach flu is that now all my pants are loose and I don't have to feel guilty about not working out this week!

6) Next weekend is my sister Natalie's graduation and birthday and also father's day!! Who only has one gift down out of three? ME. 

7) I am so freaking excited for California next weekend that I already have like 70% of my outfits planned?! Cannot wait to be back in the bay!!

 8) I filled up my shop nasty gal and tobi carts this morning and x'ed out of both of them - YAY ME! but I didnt want to :( 

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! I am taking it easy tonight - hopefully will find some gifts for the family! And going hiking early tomorrow AM! Very excited for that :)

Weekend Pics :)

Hey everyone! I am very slowly but surely recovering from the WORST stomach flu of my life! It was absolutely horrendous - I will spare the details for obvious reasons but I am still not 100% better but getting there. Sustaining on a diet of jello, crackers and gatorade isn't really that fun :( But I wanted to share my weekend pictures! I actually had a really good weekend apart from getting sick! 

My mom and my godmother from ATL were in town this weekend so on Friday night, they relaxed while I cooked for them! I made my special salad and some whole wheat pasta with veggies - turned out really yum! Saturday, we went to go have lunch and shop a little! 

Saturday night outfit: Mint Green dress from Tobi.com,  Lauren Conrad Sandals

 

f21 necklace, MK watch, bracelets from boutique K.La

my godmother ms. vickie and me! 

Saturday night, we had dinner at one of Charlotte's new restaurants - e2 Emeril's Eatery - it was one of the best dinners I have had to date in Charlotte. One of the coolest parts about is that they have no corkage fee - so you can drink your own bottles of wine - saving you money/more money to spend on their delicious food! 

I snapped a couple of pics of our dinner (we shared a bunch of appetizers) - my favorite thing was the hamachi crudo with jalapeno - so amazing!

I went out with my friends to our usual spot 

Sunday was spent out on the boat at Lake Norman - aka where I caught my bug - my doctor said I probably swallowed some lake water EW! Def never getting in the water ever again! 

I cant wait to eat normal food again! Hope you all are having great weeks :)
