GIFT IDEAS FOR THE HOLIDAYS
What the heck happened to the summer? Where did it go? One second, I am perusing boutiques for a nice summer dress and some tanks and suddenly I am throwing on my Uggs and searching the net for a Halloween Costume and requesting time off for Christmas vacation! Holy Cow!
Well- that also reminds me of that huge shopping monster in the closet that most people prepare for months in advance. Like my lovely friend Sooz, who has already FINISHED her Christmas shopping, as of like June! Or my Mom who will either accidentally give me things I have already given her, combined with some handmade goodies, she too, is done with Christmas shopping. Instead of taking the easy road, I, so ms. last minute, like to wait until Christmas Eve.
Because I love the insane lines, grumpy people and the challenge of having to find lovely sentimental heart felt gifts in a store with only two items lefton each shelf.
Oh the joy.
Okay, this year I'll do it right. I am going to be prepared!
I have found several FANTASTIC gift ideas for the Holidays this year and I want to share them with you!
1. Coffee Mug Sleeves!!! OH CRAP THESE ARE CUTE!!
Reusable, so you can save some trees and oh how stylish.. I love it!
The sleeves below are made by PinkGasoline
Note- you can also have them embroidered and personalized.. Rediculously cool.
Also by PinkGasoline, is this lovely "that time of the month" little handy purse. Now you can look like your going to the bathroom with a descreet little makeup bag when it's really your personal artillery of femme weapons!

Lovely Purses
I love the colors in this purse and the colors that BagsByColette
uses in her lovely purses designs. I like to put a ton of stuff in my purses.
So I prefer the thicker strapped pleaded hobo bag.
Her bags are gorgeous, sturdy, durable, and fun!

Things I LOVE
Look at this amazing bag I found on www.etsy.com.
This woman makes gorgeous bags that are sturdy, earthy, and multi-functional.
I was especially inspired by these, because the purse is large, and I LOVE to tote around large purses. (I mean hello, I have to carry around my journal, vitamins,make-up bag, face spritzer, and so on and so forth). The matching wallet and key holder is adorable don't you agree?
Here shop name is LBArtworks

Join Me on My Path to Weight Loss and a Healthy Spirit
Everything in my life seems to be lovely and happy, except for my weight.
I began to really pack on the pound at the onset of a less than great relationship, which I shed three years ago, but I kept the weight. I think I began coping with the confusion, with food. Plus I love food. So I wasn;t exactly fighting this natural reaction to stress.
I have suffered some loss in the passed couple of years and I did turn to food. I am confident that my coping skills, and my spirit and my heart have recovered quite a bit and I am ready for a new me.
My friends and family, my children and my sweetie, are all fantastic support people in my life. It is because of their love that I am such a strong woman.
I realized just how much weight I did put on, when I saw some pictures of myself, taken at a concert. I looked soo swollen and puffy that you couldn't see my pretty face! It looked like my skin was being pulled thin cause my face was too swollen. Yes I said it, God made me and don't make mistakes so I am beautiful, just like you.
I also had a conversation with my son who also happens to think I am superbly beeeauutiful, bless his swweet self, but he has definitely noticed the weight. We talked about weight, and how you put it on easy but work hard to get it back off, and I told him how I was in such good shape when Teihani ( my daughter was a baby). he saw pictures of me and acted all shocked and amazed. Then he said Mom, look at this picture you look soo pretty! You look like a different person, you were soo thin, what happened?" He caught himself and changed his wording out of fear he would hurt my feelings. I had to take a moment to reflect on his last words though "what happened?"
I realized what did happen and it was that food had become my comfort. I love to eat, but I was eating late at night, or even when I wasn't hungry, I was eating allot, and would always make excuses like, I will eat less tomorrow.
I got up to 190 pounds. I am 5'2".
I did get down to 175 but that's where I stayed. For two years.

I got up to 190 pounds. I am 5'2".
I did get down to 175 but that's where I stayed. For two years.
THEN last year, I started running, but it was hard on my knees and body, I lost another 10 pounds in only three months.
However, even though I have done capoeira, running,, and yoga, I couldn't loose the weight because my eating habits were horrible!
However, I must reiterate, all this time I still felt good. I felt like a hot sexy beast at 175 and still do!
But then, I see the photos, and aaaaaargh. Who is that? I don't look like a hot sexy beast, I don't reflect my insides, on my outside, and that is painful to see!
So I ask you, my dear fellow blog reader, to join me on this weight loss challenge.
