Put a little wiggle into your jiggle.

As I was packing last night, I thought it would make sense to maybe try on some of the bathing suits to see how they looked. BIG MISTAKE. Maybe it was the suit, but I don't think so. It was more me.
My body has changed.
It is weird cause the whole time, I was thinking, wow - when did this happen? I had a moment of clarity when I was taking the T into work. I am not fat. I eat well. I work out. It is just that I am turning 35 and my body has changed. It changed from 18 to 21 (Hello Hips,  nice to see you...finally), 25-28 my best years (to only go back), 29-30 (a little too skinny) and 31-34 (not sure what has happened). It is sad, but instead of fretting about it, I just realized it could be so much worse and that I am not going to be the girl who doesn't eat, drink and spends all her free time in the gym. I have been there before and I don't want to do it anymore. Life is short. I am healthy. I am fairly happy. So what if my belly jiggles a little.... I don't have wrinkles or cellulite... yet. I am taking the good with the bad. Bring on the Guac, Margies and my Bikini!

Last Day For Giveaway! Enter now...

Great Stella & Dot pieces..... Trust me, you will love it!

My Favorite Song of the Week...

Totally have been on a country kick for awhile now.

Shellac

Prepping for vacation and all the self maintenance that goes with it.

I feel so high maintenance between the hair, waxing, nails, gyming and dieting... I don't know how celebs do it! Anyway, I went to Hollywood Nails last night and decided to do the Shellac manicure since it will last for two weeks and I wont need to get a touch up while away. I wish they did it for pedis too... Hopefully, soon.

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, here is the low-down....I highly recommend it. It was nice to be able to read a mag during my pedi and not worry about smudging. I am fidgety too, so I always have to say "Sorry, can you fix this nail?"

The Shellac System features a Base Coat, Color Coat and Top Coat. Together with an appropriate 36 Watt UV lamp they comprise the breakthrough in resilient color that remains flawless for 14-days and removes in 10 minutes.

Golden Globes


I missed it cause I was out drinking way too much wine and watching the Pats vs Jets, which sadly the Pats lost... However, I am catching up with the all the globe goodness on the Today show. Here are my pics of best dressed. It is funny, I am not huge Eva fan, but I loved the way she looked. Also, I am obsessed with Emma Stone's dress by Calvin Klein -- so she wins best dressed in my book. Emma looks so much like LiLo with the blonde hair.

Also, don't forget about my give away below!

Friday Gossip Updates

I read all the bad mags, so you don't have to.

Jake and Taylor broke up. Finally. I found it a bit weird anyway. What would a 30ish year old man have in common with a 21year old?
Holly from Girls Next Door is super upset about Heff getting married to the other blonde lady girl that looks JUST.LIKE.HER.  Holly is so upset she can't comment, but she can get her cameras ready to tape her encounter with Heff for her own show.
Kardashian's are everywhere again. Lets see. Scott is a bad baby daddy. Kourtney has been too stressed out and is loosing weight and ready to break. Kim has gained/lost/gained/lost, but is not prego with Kayne's baby. Thank God for that. Khloe died her hair red (I like it) and her and Lamar got their own show. I am not sure I can watch it, however, I will. Her baby voice drives me insane.
Housewives of BH...The Best Season Ever of HW's. Love all of them. They secretly hate Camille - D'oh. Oh, and she wont be back on next season. That is ok she is going to be super rich and busy being a single mom. Maybe they can replace Camille with the crazy ass Alison DuBouis? That was TRUE entertainment.  I really watch it for Jiggy.
Hmm.. other than that, all the crazy celeb diet tips and resolutions.

What was your favorite celeb news this week?

Silver Lining

So many people complain about everything. Some days, I am one of them. I am trying to correct this each day (Not really a New Years resolution, more of a perspective change). When I get pissed or annoyed, I try and find my silver lining. Complaining doesn't change anything. Trying to find a new way to look at things does.
I complained for years about my old apt. I loved it, but when things started to go wrong it dragged me down. I moved. I didn't want to be outside of the city, but this was my best option and I.LOVE.IT. I will try and post pics up soon. Everything is so brand new. My bathtub is the size of a swimming pool (Oh, and I have one of those too). It is cozy. My friends come over to just watch tv and make dinner. It is awesome. I thought it would be a drag not living in Boston proper, but it has really made me happier. The one thing that annoys me is the commute. I was a walker... and now I am T'er and a Driver. When I started complaining, about my T commute, I thought wow, this is a chance to have 15 mins to read in to work and 15 mins to read out of work. It is time for just me. So, I guess, my thing is now... if you can't deal with something, there is no reason to sit by and be miserable. Change it or try to think of it differently.

I just realized my winter vacation is coming up in about 2 weeks. I am pale and cold, so this is a good time to get some nice hot sun. So, my two week countdown  starts now. I need to watch the food/drinks I eat/drink and hit the gym so I can put a bathing suit on and not be laughed off the beach . The funny thing is, I will diet and work out before my vacation, only to partake in too many bevs and plantains while I am away and gain all my weight back day one of my vacation. Does this only happen to me?

All Moved In

I have moved and now I am sitting in my new pad, watching the Bachelor. Ugh - yes, I am getting into this damn show again. I think this Brad Womack guy is hot. I don't know why, but hopefully he doesn't play the victim and talk about his soul searching "journey" every episode.  He does have that look of confusion constantly on his face and I can't determine if it is cute or pathetic. I typically don't prefer my guys dumb... but with a body like that (even with that awful tat), I could probably get over it.
