Well, girls, I am totally slacking on this blogging thing. But now is the time for holiday shopping, so I must get in gear. I have some of the holiday shopping done, but I definitely don't have it all done. I need some good ideas for my boyfriend's mom, who refuses to give any indication of what she would like to get under the tree, and it doesn't matter how many times you ask, she won't tell you. That's okay! I used to be that way, too - never telling anyone what I wanted because I never thought about it hard enough! So I found a few things that might work. Wine gadgets or an oh-so-cool digital photo frame, great cookbooks, exercising fun, something to take the edge off after a long day of work or a darling, delicious gift basket! I am sure I will find something she will adore. Happy Holidays!

I've got a bit of an obsession lately (you know, besides shopping, which is a consistent obsession). Belts. I love them, and they are so trendy right now. Bright red, leopard, macrame, stretchy, leather, big, tiny, croc skin, metal - you think of it, and they have it. I have bought a total of three really big belts - a light brown, dark brown and black. I know I need a red. Since there are so many choices, and these belts can really make an outfit, I recommend you jump into this trend wholeheartedly! For more inspiration, check out the links in this post. Happy shopping!

America's Next Top Model

There are some weeks, girls, that all i can do is wait for America's Next Top Model to get here. I adore the show and have been watching it for three years. It is very much a guilty pleasure. I head to my bff Dana's house and scoop out some frozen cosmos to enjoy while watching those catty girls. My favorite is Caridee right now (blonde with book). And my least favorite is Melrose (crazy hair, crazy bitch), who is a bit of a drama queen and somewhat mean to everyone else on the show...but she does take some striking pics. The other girl I like is Amanda (book cover with Fabio, whom I find completely unappealing), who has a consistently beautiful portfolio.

MOTIVATE!


For the past few months, I have been less enthusiastic about going to the gym. I love working out, always have, always will, but my constant routine easily got me to a plateau. So girls, I knew I had to do something, and something I did do. I have been wanting to highlight my hair for the longest time but did not want to spend the big bucks at the salon nor do a horrible job myself at home. In light of my recent lackluster effort at the gym, I decided to use highlighting as a major motivator for getting my butt into gear. Now I am a mere week away from my goal and beautiful tresses. I told myself I had to get myself to the gym everyday M-F for a month and work hard to be able to get the highlight. Now I am almost there. I will post a picture of my new hairstyle once I find the time to make it to the salon. My favorite place is called the Clip Joint. Super cute, don't you think?! Do you have any workout motivation tips?
