Baby It's Colder Outside

Fall and Winter in Nashville is a roller coaster of temperatures.  If I had my way, I would buy all three of these wonderful toppers from Jessica London.  Too bad my wallet has other plans...

I might get that lst one though because it is too sassy!

Bowl of Teddies

Ever have those days when you feel down and are forced to partaking in self loathing?  Well that's how I'm feeling today.  I was going to send my husband to get something chocolaty gooey hot and cold...but I didn't want to send him back out.  Sooo I made due with what I had....Teddy Grahams and Cool Whip Lite. 

 

Don't judge me.  I have a lot on my mind. I figure this is better than what I planned on eating...and it didn't cost me any additional money.

Anyways. I need to figure out what to wear to my brother's engagement party.  I'm thinking this will be the place to wear the sequin jacket I'm going to buy. This look but with black pants not leather ones.

Jason Campbell sucks...he needs to be benched STAT.  Go SKINS!

Attention...Attention

Update.  My transition from relaxed to natural is going so well. I have hat days but I have really good days that make me so happy I decided to take this route.  I stepped out on a limb and did a Bantu Knot Out and here are my results!  I LOVE IT!

This is definitely going to be one of my go to styles as i didnt need rollers just hair pins and I was able to let my hair dry 90 percent of the way then twist it up.  With my braid outs i get better results when I braid wet and it never dries by the morning.

Anyways...I am past the six month marker and I can see a year in the horizon. 

Yes that head band has huge different colored fake rhinestones on it.  Its so tacky but I love it and so did the girls I worked with today!!!!

Want it Need it

Black Sequined Beret

I'd wear with with like something totally laid back and chill like a white tee...straight jeans flats or boots or something.  This is the funk on a regular errand running Saturday.

Fluorescent Specked Jumper

I love this...its a cute date look when paired with skinny jeans, leggings, and ankle boots.

Black Knot Detail Boots

Sexy.

Black Sequin Jacket

Everyone is wearing these sequin jackets...so I want one too! Its so full of personality.

Better Choices

So where have I been! I mean what aisle have i been getting my groceries from? I finally crawled out of the ice age...rather out of the middle aisles and back to the perimeter of the grocery store. What I found there was amazing!

Two Words. Broccoli Slaw.


This stuff is amazing. I can and have been doing all kinds of things with it! Stir Fried it one day...added some fat free poppy seed dressing another day fora sweet coleslaw...today I used it in the place of lettuce for my "Taco Salad hold the Shell" and it was so good and filling. I just made some ground turkey added some chili seasoning, dash and parsley. Threw it in a bowl added a little cheese, broccoli slaw, salsa and a DAB of ranch dressing.

Sooo good!

Sorry no picture...I was hungry and my camera battery is dead.

Tonight I will be taking on Egg Muffins. We wake up super early and do not have time for breakfast...and we know its the most important meal of the day! Stay tuned!

Better Choices

Keep it Simple Sister! I told you I was coming with my better choices. The picture sucks but I had to get one taken and my camera was dead...enter Blackberry!


Best way to eat right and stay on the journey is to KEEP IT SIMPLE. Organic carrots and a banana did the trick for my afternoon snack craving!

Deep rich hues are so in this Fall and I plan to be "in" because trends are fun. I dont mean trending in the sense of me looking like a clone. More accurate would be me putting my own spin on a trend...Im going to do these colors my way.

This way is very similar to my way minus all the accessories...I DONT DO BANGLES! And that headband would be reworked into a hairpin, if i wore it at all. But I still love it. Thanks Ally I love your style!

And THIS is such cute Fall weekend wear. Since I look like crap at work...I like to look nice on the weekend. I love all of this MINUS that cat bag...who let the cat out of the bag! I dont know...I hate cats and prefer animal print not animals!!!!! See above about the bangle. But I might consider wearing this one!

In other news. Yesterday we had our Wednesday Stepping It Up session at work. I educated the kids on the Grains food group. We have whole wheat bagel minis apples and peanut butter.

They demolished it...which lets me know for sure without a doubt that kids will eat anything that is easy to pick up and eat - especially if its presented well!!!! They ate the bagels plain which surprised me because I had peanut butter on mine!

All in all...I actually love the Stepping It Up curriculum so do the kids. They look forward to it and ask what we will do Wednesday! It is a little bland on its own, Im really glad I have the freedom to add some flavor to the mix!
