Hello Everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend. My was a nice one. We cleaned out the basement. Which we found tons of my old childhood stuff. That we knew some of it was down there and something we found. That I thought I lost. Like all my old dairy. I start writing in them in 1996 to 2006. 

I wore this outfit on Saturday to go out to dinner with my hubby. The skirt I'm wearing is one my favorite. Sadly it doesn't get worn much do to it on the short side. Which the last time I wore this skirt was 3 years ago.  Also my lace legging are another item I rediscover on Saturday and decide they would work great under the skirt. The last time I wore them was 2 years ago. 

On a non-scale victory. The last time I wore this vest I couldn't button it. Which was May 14, 2014 and now I can. My hard work is paying off. 

HAVE A GREAT MONDAY.

I have only have been buying the stuff I need. Which might make these recaps a little boring. When I start doing these recap in 2010 I did them to see how much money I was spending each month. Which is what I still do today.  

After tomorrow my shopping for shoe and clothes ban will be over. I have decide I'm going to keep it going and see how long I can go again with out any new clothes and shoe items. 

My long records for going without new shoe is 145. The longest I have gone without buying new clothes is  6 month and 13 days. That a total of 193 days.

Happy Friday Everyone. This afternoon I'm going out to lunch with one of my friends. Who I haven't seen in a long time. So I decide to go with a relax outfit for are lunch date. Which I haven't worn this A&F shirt in 3 year. I have a good amount of A&F clothes that I haven't worn in a long time. My husband used to be obessed with there clothes. So for my 21st birthday he surprised me with a tons of clothes from there that he order offline. We no longer buy clothes from there. Mainly do to there not are style. 

My short are another item I haven't worn in 3 years. Which I'm not a short person. I wish I could tell you why but I can't. This year I told myself I need to add more short to my closet. Which I haven't and more an lucky won't. Due to I don't wear them that much. Plus over here in Germany the weather can be funny in the summer. One day it can be hot as all get out. Then the next it feel like fall weather. 

Another item that hasn't been on the blog in a long time are my flip flop. The last outfit post I did with wearing them was 2 years ago. I do wear these flip flop a lot. Since they are super comfortable. 

This weekend kicks off the German/American Fest. Which I'm not sure if we will go to it this weekend or not. We are for sure going on 4th of July. That way we can see the fireworks.  

HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY.

Tough it out Tuesday: Insanity Update

Top Row May 18, 2014: Bottom Row June 22, 2014

Hello Everyone. It's been 30 day since I wrote that I was going to be doing Insanity. As you can see in the picture my body has change a little. It still a work in process. I'm happy with the small result that I have gotten so far.  I can't wait to start seeing more. 

Which these last two weeks I have slightly fallin off the wagon. I haven't been working out 6 days a week like I was. I have been doing more walking and counting that as my work out. I need to get back on track again and start doing the insanity work outs again.  I'm not going to lie there were days that I skipped the insanity workouts and did a 10 minute trainer instead. They also were day that I did both work outs.

I have been working out for a total of two month now. Which the first month I did a mixture of home workout videos. Then second month I did insanity and 10 minute trainers. As a result from eating right and working out. I have now hit my first goal weight which was to get back down to 2013 summer weight. Which was 135.  I still have a good way to get to my Michigan weight but I know I can do it.  

Instead of moving on to the second month of insanity. I'm going to redo the first month over again. Which I will do another update post on  how things are going in a month. 

Here are my total results.

Starting weight April ~143

May~ 137.6 ~ Mixture of workouts

June~133.6 ~ Insanity and 10 minute trainer

Total weight lost~9.4 pounds 

Please no negative comment. 

Yesterday I was feature over at Tiffany of Endless Bliss.

Review: NAIL CONES

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

 Hello Everyone. If you read my blog on a regular base you know I love painting my nail. Today I'm here to introduce you all to a company called Nail Cones. The company was created by Cindy Christman.She got the idea to make this product after watching her daughter painting there nail and getting the polish on there finger. So she hit the internet and Google how to get salon nail. She got told to use a q-tip. After what Cindy read she decide to make a product to help people not get polish on there fingers.

So she came up with an idea to use a sticker and call them nail cone. When you order your nail cones. You will get 15 sticker in the pack. The pack cost 5.99 dollars. Nail Cone sticker come in 5 different size. 

 Which if you are like me you will use all five of the size's. Nail cones go on the side of your nails and under them. They are super easy to use. Also the best part is you can re-use them. I took my nail cone on and off a few time. Which they still sticked. Which is a plus in my book. 

Color used Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant  in 115

Once your nail dry just remove the sticker and you will have a nice manicure. I have made a small demo on how these work. I hope you all enjoy my first tutorial video. 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I'm Linking up with thenailfiles

HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY
