A few of my favorite things:

I thought I would share a few of my favorites that I can not live without.  

1.  Clarisonic Mia- The hubs got me one and it has made a huge difference in my skin and my face!!  LOVE it and it is my #1!!!

PURCHASE HERE









2. TOKYOMILK DARK #90 perfume- This stuff is a serious hidden gem I stumbled across at a  boutique in Vegas last year.  Amazingly heavenly scents.  This one is my Favorite.



PURCHASE HERE









3. BED HEAD AfterParty- This stuff works wonders on my hair for fly a ways  and some sheen.  It is by far the best stuff I have found for that polished look with hair.




PURCHASE HERE










4. Benefit Posie Tint- I am a makeup minimalist.  I do not like a lot of makeup.  This is great for  adding some quick color to cheeks,  eyes or lips.  It is kind of like a stain, and it last all day.  Can be worn alone or on top of foundation.  Comes in a couple different colors.  I get the Poppy-Pink.


PURCHASE HERE or through Sephora/Ulta








5. Tek Gear Yoga Capris- These are super stylish.  Hide the tummy, and are comfy. I am a cropped pant girl and these are my absolute favorite workout pants. They have cute rushing on the side by the knee and are stylish.   I've only found them at Kohl's and stock up when they are on sale.








6. Oakley Miss Conduct Sunglasses- These suckers were worth the money and are great for runs.  They are light weight and have a no slip nose piece, but it won't get stuck in your hair either if you wear them on your head and they are super cute. I got mine at Macy's on Clearance for under $100.  They retail for $200.

That's it for now.  My 6 absolute Can not live without things.

Not fitness related... but

I wanted to share a super cute picture of the twinnies and 2 of their best buddies!

Wrapped up a fabulous weekend

Family fitness day at the HS track,  adult Knott's trip and then BBQing with friends.  Now, that is my kind of weekend.

I am pretty blunt.

It's just how I am.

Some people just can't take it.  Luckily,  those who matter... know how to take it. 

Surf City Half Marathon

I am officially Mrs. Smith again for the 2013 Surf City run.

Have I trained at all... Hellz NO!

Do I plan to train.. of course, but planning and doing,  well we know it is 2 DIFFERENT things. I am up to my pits in work and I don't even have what some call a job (yes, the jealous haters who bash being a stay at home mom).  You might wonder if and how this is possible... Trust you me, it is.  I have been volunteering at least 15 hours a week at the school. Not to mention what I do from home.  Girl Scouts,  Dance,  Swimming,  Band, HOMEWORK... reading (because my rock-star 5 year old reads at a high first grade level already) and then there is just routine things like cooking, housekeeping, etc.  Oh.. and I Am lucky if I see the husband except Sat and Sun with his crazy work schedule.

You see... we're trying to pay off our other car,  be debt-free except the house and save for a couple family trips and an anniversary trip to Europe in 2017 . Then of course... we'll tackle the house buy the big kid a car and I BETTER be working by then.  lol.

Have I lost anymore weight.  NOPE.  I did get back to the 160's, but I have been hoovering there up or down about 3lbs since we moved here.

So that is all...

Randomness of a picture from the kids 50's dance.  My little model was not in the best of moods.  I think she was over stimulated... but still beautiful as ever.

Audrie and Halle showed off the mad Hula Skills!!
