Random Vlogging :: Field trip to the Farm...

Hello Everyone!I actually had the courage to do a vlog (Video Blog) about my day at the Farm. Farm?! lol I know.. Well My two kiddies had a field trip with their preschool class to a Farm to go Strawberry picking and also looks at all the cute animals and what not. Luckily Hubby & I were not working so we were able to attend this memorable event with our children!Hubby had to drive separately because he gets nauseous on buses and it was perfect for us in case we wanted to go home early or just wanted to leave after the field trip (which we did)So I did a mini vlog of our trip.. it's rather short because: 1) as i was blogging on the bus - i got super nauseous LOL 2) i was so busy with my girls (running around on the field...

Lunch with Some amazing ladies at Veggie Grill

So yesterday I had the opportunity to meet with Jessika, Nicole, Tatiana, Ingrid & Angie at the Grove. April had originally set this up for us - but she was unable to make it (we missed you April!) but definitely we all have plans to do this again!We ate lunch at the Veggie Grill. It was my first time there - I ended up ordering the Santa Fe Chicken sandwich with Sweetheart Fries (SO yum) - it was the the perfect meal as I was starving from trying to look for the place.This is the only picture that I have of all of us girls together (shame on me i know - didn't take any pictures lol) Angie was kind enough to get someone to snap a few pictures of us - lol the lady who took our picture did not know how to operate an iphone - so she took numerous...

Video :: Sigma Dry'N Shape Demo & Review vs Air Drying & Brush Guards

I'm sure plenty of you have heard about Sigma's new Brush Drying system. If you haven't and you own make-up brushes and currently are at wits end when you wash and air dry them.. you don't have to pull your hair out! I have read on twitter, Sigma launch this latest invention about a month ago - I did purchase this myself with my own money because I honestly dreaded when I had to wash my brushes because they'd never be ready the next day when I needed them when i was to get ready for work. So when I heard about this revolutionary brush drying system that guaranteed to completely dry my brushes in 4-6 hours - i was like.. I HAVE TO TRY THIS! I then decided to jump on the band wagon and purchase it. I was skeptical because the Sigmax...

Gym Session :: 06/09/2011

Another great workout session after work.. I was rather skeptical about going after work (peak hours at the gym) and was worried that all the weights that I wanted to use would not be available - the machines I wanted to use would be taken, etc...but thankfully - although it was rather busy in there and jam packed (not as bad as the other local gym i used to frequent).. i was able to get my work-out done completely.. at my own pace and bother-free lol.Today I did upper body.. and here is my workout. I am a bit bloated lately, like i mentioned in previous posting (aunt flow haha TMI).. so i think i've gained a few pounds in water weight - but i'm not stressing too much. Not sure if i've mentioned it on my blog - but i have on my twitter......
