BEAUTY GIVEAWAY WINNER!

by Lauren on January 27, 2012

Thank you SO much to all of you who entered. This was the best giveaway I’ve ever hosted and it means so much that everyone took the time out of their day to enter. I loved reading every single one of your comments!

Since I am biased and know most of you who entered I had my co-worker chose the winner to make things fair.

The winner will receive a 1 year subscription to Birchbox, an innovative, new way to try beauty products before you buy them, Birchbox provides its subscribers with monthly deliveries of samples from well-known beauty brands.

And the winner is….

LEAH!

Congrats Leah, I will be sending you an email shortly with your promotion code so you can start ordering your samples!

Fatass Friday

by Lauren on January 27, 2012

I guess I should tell you what I’ve been up to the past few days.

I’ve been dog sitting my parent’s chocolate lab Chloe. I actually grew up with her. We got her as a puppy when I was 14 and we’ve been BFF ever since. My siblings think Chloe likes them the best, but we all know I’m her favorite.

just chillin with my girlfriend

I’ve been spoiling her rotten with a day at the spa (aka Petco), long walks, and giving her all the cookies she wants, although last time she stayed with me Jan told me she got fatter. I just love to spoil my Chloe!

Speaking of fat, look what I found…

 Trader Joe’s LAVA CAKES!

360 calories per cake

ooey gooey chocolatey goodness

Then it was time to whip out the vanilla ice cream = dangerous.

This is a very easy desert to have on hand. All you need to do is pop it in the microwave for 45 seconds and you have a warm chocolate molten cake. Texas boy and I shared one last week and it was amazingly good!

An Ode to Trader Joe’s!

I will be picking a winner for my beauty giveaway this afternoon, stay tuned!

  Have a fab weekend!

#skinnybyfriday

January 23, 2012

So the new year is in, the holidays have passed, and it’s time to get back on track- so much easier said than done. Personally, I’ve fallen off the bandwagon and haven’t been working out as much as I should and not thinking about what I put in my mouth. In the fall, I went [...]
