"New Workout"

First of all I must share my new workout shoes! They were an "I'm so proud of you" gift to myself for finishing boot camp!


I've never bought shoes strictly for working out so that in and of itself is a huge accomplishment! *Go me!*

Anyways, enough about shoes! Given that my last day of boot camp was last Friday, the girls at work and I decided we need to stick with a workout routine so all the hard work we've done doesn't go to waste. So yesterday, we decided to try Total Body Workout. Well, comparing it to boot camp, it really didn't give us the level of workout we needed. So today we decided to try a spin class and absolutely loved it! It was our first time jumping on the spin class bandwagon and it was a lot harder than I imagined. I mean, I knew it would be a good workout - but little did I know we would be *standing* while spinning!! I have to be honest and admit I could only stand for a minute at time. :-| But hopefully with time, I will improve. And I can already feel it in my legs...it must be working!

I really want David to start working out with me but it's really hard given his work schedule (which hopefully will change soon). So we decided that at night when he gets off work we will do a "mini boot camp" workout and run. So lastnight, we gave it a shot. And my original theory was "I've been working out for several months and David hasn't worked out in a while..so I should be able to *kick his butt*!" Much to my surprise, that didn't quite happen!! He wasn't even breathing hard!! NOT FAIR!!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn
