Shake it up!

Ok Girls! I know that it's the time of year when we try our hardest to get back on track...or keep on track if we are just that awesome...(I am not). SO...in my effort to find healthier options for me I found a perfect breakfast/lunch/snack to share with you! I absolutely LOVE it! As you know I am an Arbonne Independent Consultant and I get a great discount on all these great products so I try to find the products that work best for me. Well I found one! Here it is:

Arbonne Protein Shake Mix! It is perfect! You can make your own drinks (drinks also come in ready to drink shakes if you don't care for the powder) or you can make fun protein bars for snacks or breakfast. I absolutely love the protein bars for breakfast! They are super tasty and filling...and most importantly...HEALTHY! 

BUT taste like this:

Haystacks!

Here is the Recipe:

Ingredients

2 cups creamy peanut butter

1 and 1/4 cup honey

 2 cups protein powder

1 cup of Flax Seed

4 cups instant oatmeal

Directions

Microwave honey and peanut butter for about a minute. Mix oatmeal, flax seed, and protein powder in another bowl. Fold peanut butter mixture into oatmeal mixture until well blended. Pour mixture into a cookie sheet (I lay wax paper down before I pour) pack mix down. Let sit for about an hour (or you could also just put them in the fridge overnight!) and cut into 28 bars. These also freeze very well!

I use the vanilla protein powder but the chocolate is also very delicous! I am telling you ladies...these are the best thing! Only 225 Calories and 12.5 grams of protein in every bar!

Polished Up!

Ok Girls! I love getting my nails done...what girl doesn't? But it's way too expensive to go to a Salon right? Well, I decided that I was going to go on the hunt for some nail polish that I couldn't live without...And I found TWO!!

Number One:

Glam Rock by Ultra Pro

It. Is. Awesome. I love sparkly things so of course I fell in love with it. AND it's a great color year round. Win/Win! So all you glittery gals out there...go get it! (I found mine at Sally's Beauty Supply!)

Number 2:

 Sally Hansen Salon Effects...found nearly anywhere..but I got mine at Walgreens because it was buy one get one 1/2 off! (I am a girl who loves a deal!) You know those strips that you peel off and put on? Yep! That's what this is. It lasts for up to 2 weeks (depending how hard you are on them). This picture was a week into the manicure and I am really rough on my nails! It's SUPER SIMPLE...and there is NO DRY TIME! I am loving this simple process! You peel, press, file, and go!! Girls, I am telling you...go get this stuff!!

Happy Polishing!

XOXO,

I Don't Want to Look Like a Cullen...

So it's winter time and my skin looks REALLY tan ashy. It's just not what you want to see when you look in the mirror...I mean...it's already dreary and cold...does your skin have to look half dead too? So I say to myself, "What does a girl have to do to look tan around here without having to get cancer to do it?" I am a big skeptic when it comes to self tanner's too because who wants to look like an oompa loompa?

(thanks google images for the pic)

 Besides her.

I think I found the product that works best for me:

The only reason I tried this in the first place is because I am an Arbonne Independent Consultant and I got it in a surprise bag. I mean, why not if you have it right? Well, I fell in love with it! I know, I know...I sell the stuff so I am supposed to say that...well I am not just saying that. I actually really love the stuff. It works great for this pasty girl and doesn't leave my hands/elbows/knees all orange. And it doesn't leave streaks either! This is how I got the best results:

1. Shower and use this:

(great for exfoliation...and I love how it makes my feet and hands feel too! win/win)

2. Get really dry and evenly apply the self tanner. It sprays so it's super easy to be consistent in all areas.

3. Let dry for a minute...seriously...that's all it takes.

4. Get dressed and in a few hours you have a healthy glow!

I could tell a difference in just one use. (probably because I am just THAT white) You can reapply when needed or if you want a deeper color. It just gave me enough of a boost that I didn't look like this anymore:

Nobody chooses to look like this but her...just sayin...

Melodies that Make Me Happy....

Anyone that knows me, knows that I like a variety of music. I mean...there is music that makes you want to shake your butt, relaxing music, music that makes you happy, break up music, in the car music, I could go on and on...but  there is always that one artist that you feel expresses you the best and I am telling you here and now the artist that expresses me most is:

http://www.mindygledhill.com/

She is awesome! (you are actually listening to her right now if you have your music turned on.) I recommend you check her out! She may not be for everyone but I just love the upbeat, romantic, slightly sillly way she expresses herself in her music.

What artist expresses you the best?

XOXO,



Beginnings...

So I am a girl and I LOVE it! (the About Me section probably didn't give you that idea.) I wanted to create a place where all the girls out in this world can come together and talk about pretty things.  So you will see a variety of topics come across here. The only things I ask is that you be kind. You may not agree with anything I say...and that's ok...but this is meant to a be a positive place. A place for those who love all the fun things that come with being a girl...

XOXO
