...Remember when?


Awhile back I mentioned that I was on the lookout for "a tall glass of green croc heels?"

This is the number one reason why I {heart} 6pm.com

TADA!

J. Renee Candice pumps
in Green Croc
Purchased for $19.95 - Originally $75

These went incredibly fast, when I put them in my shopping bag, there were 3 left in my size and by the time I was checking out - I was buying the last one!

I get them tomorrow and I think that their debut will be scheduled for St. Patty's Day.

*Cheers*

Anyone throwing a baby shower anytime soon?

Like alot of women folk, I too am obsessed with etsy.com {it's amazing}. Well while doing my morning looking {not shopping I swear!} I came across the cutest, most adorable chocolate lollipops EVER.



See what I mean?
Almost makes me want to throw a shower for someone! Anyone?

Have a good day!

Consider yourself invited!

...to some really great sample sale websites. The sales differ by designer and typically last from 1 day to 3 days or so, but they can get up to 80% off; which is awesome because it takes a super expensive designer piece and brings the price down to regular people prices :).

Examples: $150 Nine West Trench for $49 {sale ends Wed 03.10}, $60 fashion tees for $20-$25, $80 blouses for $25-$30, $200 jeans for $45{!}...etc. Shoes, purses, jewelry...you name it.

ENJOY!

To-do before I'm 30.


One of my favorite blogs to read is "30 before 30 List"
It's a fun blog that takes you along for the ride in the adventures of a 28-year-old trying to accomplish the 30 things she wants to accomplish before she turns 30.

Unfortunately, I'm turning 25 this summer {YIKES!} leaving me FIVE years until I'm the big 3-0. This is very scarey for me, I hate the thought of getting older. I think I'll feel better about it if I start working on a list of accomplishments from my own "30 before 30" list. Maybe by accomplishing my own set of realistic goals and dreams before 30, I'll be able to accept turning 30 gracefully :)

So without further adieu, here is my "List"

  • Buy a house
  • Marry my best friend
  • Go on my honeymoon - to Europe/Mediterranean
  • Get serious about investing for retirement
  • Get my MBA in Accounting
  • Walk in the graduation ceremony at AIU's London campus
  • Enroll in Doctorate program for Accounting
  • Pass the CPA Exam
  • Fix up my house
  • Have a baby or be planning for a baby
  • Get employed in the IRS, or have a great job and be ready to jump at the first opening
  • Consume less - Save more! {less unnecessary shopping}
  • Try foods I haven't tried: Russian, French cuisine, German, Australian, Authentic Japanese, Sushi, Authentic Thai,
  • Travel to Australia - maybe {If I make it to Europe on my honeymoon, I'll be happy}
  • Become a great pastry & goodie chef {at home}
  • Get in great shape
  • Take a self-defense class
  • Become a better house keeper
  • Train and participate in a triathlon
  • Gain knowledge in and attend spiritual/learning/prayer gatherings {equivalent of sunday church} for different religions: Christianity {Morman, Quaker, Catholic/Lutheran, non-secular}, Buddism & a Zen Meditation {!}, Islam/Muslim, Hinduism,  & Judaism
  • Take better care of my skin {let's prevent those wrinkles!}
  • Sew something
  • Get a green thumb {it's currently brown}

Wow, this is a pretty long list..I better get to this stuff lickity-split!

Sicko.

What the heck guys, I went all through flu season and the rest of winter without getting sick, and I thought I'd get through this winter a lucky lady but I got a wonderful suprise this morning. Throat on fire. Sinus pressure. Yuck.

I'm not sure if I caught the cold from Eric or a yuppy-yoga lady who matted next to me at ..where else..yoga.

Either way, bring on the tea, juice, water, soup, and salt water gargle...YUM.

I'm Yo-gaurl


Get it?...Yoga? Girl? I'm Yo' girl? :)
ahhh....I crack myself up sometimes!



I finally went and checked out my gym's yoga class this morning and it was definitely worth it. It's a great stress reliever and not to mention a great workout! If you've never tried it, you wouldn't believe how much it works your body. A couple of poses had my legs and/or arms shaking {like shake-n-bake}. I was suprised to find that I do have more core strength than I thought I'd have, so that was a plus.

I think I'll try to make this part of my weekend "me-time" schedule :)

So last weekend I posted about the awesome site www.6pm.com, and wanted to add that they get shipments periodically {about 1 every month or so}. So if you catch them when they've recently had an updated inventory - the pickens' great!

Carry On.
