Watch Out!!

There is an open house Thursday October 8 for a watch party, you know the cute interchangeable watches and bracelets?! Sabrina is doing it with her mother and you should all pretty much come! I will be doing glitter toes there as well!

*gel acrylic with glitter that stays on your toes for 6-8 weeks* I have some great colors to choose from :D

So come on over and have some fun :D

The perfect brownie

Is it dumb that I totally want this? 

I really need to get out of the house today... no more infomercials.  And no more thinking of chocolate. I blame my genes for being a chocoholic.

26 days

I know I can I know I can I know I can. I'm putting this into my brain for the next 26 days while I eat and drink healthy with my mom before I go on my cruise. 

breakfast: forgot about first day and ate a delicious definitely not healthy muffin, half way through I remembered and put it away.

lunch: ate soup that my mom made that is supposed to be very healthy for us with a glass of water

dinner: lettuce sandwich with tomatoes and cucumbers and turkey meat.

In between meals I'm finding veggies to munch on and drinking lots of water.

 

Ugh and it doesn't help that the snickers bar in the candy stash has been eyeing me when walking past. 

 

I've been making plans of different foods I'll eat, different exercises I'll be doing and keeping sugarless gum close by. I heard that chewing gum can help your cravings so I might be going through a few packs...

 It's always hard the first couple of week to change my eating habbits, but after the time has past I no longer crave my diet coke, sweets, and unhealthy meals. I have a goal to lost at least 10 pounds if I'm lucky and work hard before the cruise. As well as at least maintain my weight during the cruise since I heard cruise food is amazing and at your beckon call 24/7. 

Anyone have amazing healthy recipe's? if so let me know! whether on here or e-mail me at jannali.wood@gmail.com

I know of a few people who have P90X and love it I've been thinking of purchasing it. Till than Windser Pilates and yoga dvd's and outside running is what I'll be doing.  

one month left

As fall approaches soon I am anxious to dust off the sweaters, boots, and of course my drawer of scarves. I absolutely love fall, though I'm not the biggest fan of the next season...I dread the cold long winters that come every year here in Utah. If it were my way come February 1 winter would be over and Spring would be quickly on it's way. 

Lucky for me one month from today I will get my last hoorah of sunshine in Mexico! I will be on one of these.

and relaxing some where like this

I can't wait! It will be so fun to go on my first cruise and hang out with Ryan and his family :D

state fair!

Oh the state fair. The food, the rides, great place for people watching, and booths to pay a buck to see "the worlds smallest horse" or "the largest alligator" 

And even better that night, going back to 6th grade days listening to Boys 2 Men. Yes that's right they were playing live that night. (poor guys are taking whatever they can get these days, but they still sound great!)

another one bites the dust!

One of my friends from High School has joined the marriage club! I'm so happy for her, she got married in the Draper Temple and it was a beautiful day there! It was fun seeing my old group of girls there. While others were on their way for pictures, and some were in the temple with her I was able to watch my friends little girls. They are living in Japan and were able to make it to the wedding! 

aren't they adorable! they were so fun to watch 

I've been told rain is good luck on your wedding day, so with that and a double rainbow I think she's got a great future haha. The weather made for beautiful pictures at her backyard reception.

 

I didn't get this picture at the best angle

but it was so pretty!

shopping set back

  So I bought a pair of sandals from Rue 21 that I love, after buying a few more just in different colors I found out that one of them didn't fit like it should along with some kind of jacket wrap thing. Simple to return/exchange, right? It's just two items is all.  .... HA well come to find out they said the jacket wrap thing was no longer in the store. So I went to find something else to replace it. Found one in white, than oh lookie here I find a bunch of shirts on sale that I have been looking for so I grabbed a few in different colors, thinking I wasn't doing too bad I see they really do have the black wrap that was supposedly not there anymore. Instead of being a good shopper and putting the white one back..I decided to buy both. Than I saw this dark gold necklace looking at me saying "buy me! I'll look cute with that new brown shirt your getting, you never wear gold. come on you know you want to buy me!" ughhhh ok fine I give in! 

Now I am proud to be known by family and future husband as their bargain shopper. I may have slipped juuuust a tad bit. Although! in my defense everything I bought was on sale.. except the necklace. AND I had a coupon to save me 20 bucks on any sale over $40. So REALLY I didn't do too bad. right?!  

love sales!

 

Last night I went to Keith Urban! it was so much fun!! I went with my friend Sara, we met up for lunch at Cafe Rio (yummm!) than did some shopping at Gateway and off to the concert to get our country on. It was a blast, he did an amazing job and they just put on an awesome show.

So I just returned home from Modbe's sale and stocked up on swimsuits for my upcoming cruise and summers to come! Their swim suit tops are 15 dollars and bottoms are 10 dollars. Their shirts are 10 I think, and jeans are 2 for 40 dollars or $25 each.  Their new store is located in Orem 1499 west 105 north. The sale is only this weekend so hurry! They do these sales only a couple of times a year usually. If you go to their website and sign up you can receive coupons and information about new things coming out! I got a coupon today for 50 percent off any item I chose! www.modbeclothing.com is the website. So that's my tidbit of my love for Modbe's clothing line.

Well August has come and that means back to school! I wanted to go and get a new box of crayons and notebooks, is it weird that I enjoy back to school shopping? I think i'll be more excited than my kids when that day comes. 

Also with school starting for everyone it means hardly ever hanging out with Ryan. He works in the mornings and afternoon than has class in the evening. So thankfully the weekend is free and we can hang out with friends and family. He is at SLCC (salt lake community college) right now and will be transferring to the U of U in a couple of semesters I think, and will begin pharmacy. Better him than me is all I can say. Looking at his books for pharmacy makes me dizzy thinking of everything he has to memorize. I'm so glad I love doing what I do! (hair and make up) 

We are planning on going to the Greek festival that is this weekend hopefully and 

the state fair sometime in the next couple of weeks! I haven't been there since I was a kid so I'm pretty excited to go.  I love Utah, I seriously don't know how people can not love living here! The weather is gorgeous you have 4 seasons, and there's so many fun things to do and places to go. 

Well i'm off to babysit these little darlings!
