Our Week in a Glance!

This week has flown by which I'm super excited about since this next weekend is my BIRTHDAY!!!! I love LOVE birthdays! We have been racing to Conroe every weekend for family events, weddings, and golf tournaments so its so nice to be complacent for a while and just chill out in our sweet beloved town of San Antonio. I foresee trips to the zoo, spa day at the JW, maybe Fiesta Texas, and lots of grill outs on the back porch coming up. I also have recently switched my workout routine up. I have been an avid aerobiciciser for as long as I can remember. Less Mills classes were my GO-TO fitness routine. I loved all of them from Body Pump, to Body Step.. Spin class.. you name it I loved it.. and it did help that it kept me in shape too:) however I have wanted to try something different for a while and have been hesitant about trying yoga/Pilates because to me, if you don't sweat your not working out right?? WRONG. Turns out that yoga/Pilates is one of the best exercise classes you can take. Not only is it healthy for your mind but also amazing for toning your arms and core!!! I can already tell a difference and its been about a month! I also incorporate swimming into my workout for a little more cardio since sometimes I feel as though I could workout some more! I am loving it!!Since the weather has been so nice, B and I have been grilling out almost every day! This weekend he spoiled me and cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner..  and CLEANED. Shocking I know. It was awesome and the food was better than I ever imagined..GO Brandy!!!! Here are a few of our pictures from the week and weekend!

I got my tan on @ our neighborhood pool

 

and celebrated Cinco De Mayo with some homemade skinny margs!

 

..can't forget the delicious fajitas that we devoured right on our back porch..perfection

 

As a 6 year swim team-er and 7 year ex-life guard I thought I would be able to get back in the routine of swimming. I was wrong. It was hard. It will be worth it.

 

I snapped an infamous OOTD callie girl pic, I am obsessed with camo and stripes. I have recently learned to "not match"..I like it.

Drooled over this Tory Burch bag.. I asked Brandon to buy it for me.. he said no. What's a mere 300$$ right?? LOL

 

spoiled again! This time filets, grilled zuchinni, and wedge salad. I mean..need I say more.

 

 



Spring has Sprung :)

Finally the cold has left us and the warm weather has come to stay!!! I love the spring because  A my birthday is in spring but B. the weather is so nice! Not to hot and not to cold! Just beautiful :) Also my green thumb gets an itchin' for planting all my new flowers!!! This spring I have made somewhat of a "bucket list" to do each weekend with different plants and some herbs. I find that the easiest plants to do for me and for the environment we live in, is to plant potted plants. They are easy to water and easy to keep up with so that's what I will be sticking to for now! BBQ's, birthdays, trips, and family time are all on my agenda this spring. Some other things I am looking forward to this spring are :

 

 

Wearing bright colored shorts

 

All of the Kendra Scott jewelry line in spring colors!

 

Using our grill to BBQ chicken, hamburgers, fish, and steaks

 

Brightly colored Toms :)

 

Wedges galore!

 

Summer/Spring Salads

 

All of the flowers available at Home Depot, Wal-mart, and Garden Ridge

 

The bearable Texas spring weather that doesn't get up to 105 degrees but doesnt get lower than 65 degrees. Perfection

 

Starting my new small group at church

 

MY BIRTHDAY...25!!! :/

 

The River walk in San Antonio is beautiful in the springtime

 

Texas Bluebonnets

 

Essie spring nail polish line

 

The fact that I am three classes closer to graduating :):):)

 

SUMMER

will be here before you know it.. and I am very much looking forward to summer 2014 :)

 

* Just a few SPRING things that I am obsessed with right now!

 

These Wedges are literally the comfiest wedges I will ever own. I stalked these off of another fashion blog and tried them and now love them. They are light as a feather and do not hurt your feet!!! I ordered mine off of Nordstrom online.

 

I feel like I don't have to discuss how cute Kendra Scotts Jewelry colors are right now.. I am obsessed with them all but I am currently drooling over the oyster necklace and earrings. Only I would gladly take them all :):)

Always love a Tory Miller flat for spring and summer. I wore mine out last summer and love all the colors they have right now. I especially love the silver/pewter. I feel like it would go with everything!!!!!

 

See what I mean? So cute!

 

LOVE THIS!! I want the royal blue version!

 AH I LOVE IT!

 

This is the oyster line..

And then there is the ESSIE nail polish that I could not live without. I paint my nails once a week and love to mix up the fun spring colors. Even though my dad and husband give me weird stares when I do my  nails blue or green or yellow I think its all fun and spring inspired!

I have an obsession with wedges. All shoes really.. but wedges take the cake for me. I can walk in them, run, jump, dance.. which obviously I am doing on a daily basis.. so who needs a stiletto when you can wear an awesome wedge?? Me. 

Spring also calls for brightly colored SHOES. these MK flats feel like slippers.. I am not joking. I wear them around the house even. They are that comfy. I forced my mom into buying the red pair and she now loves them and wears them all the time!!!!!

 Bright colors are kind of my thing..I have a ton of BFFS who look so awesome in black but I always feel like I am attending a funeral when I wear black so I bust out fun colors at all times! Spring is no exception.. I just kind of reek neon when it comes to spring and summer. oops.

 

Of course the TOMS are always the best shoe for any occasion. They are lightweight, comfy, and they buy a kid a pair of shoes. WINNING!! I love the coral stripe ones I just bought.. they go with everything:) LOVE THEM!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Stripe Obsession Confession

I cannot stop wearing stripes. I don't know what it is.. everything striped is so cute to me right now!! The mixing and matching of stripes..the color coordinating of stripes.. the wearing striped shirts..to solid shirts with  striped tanks underneath with a mixy striped scarf. It's my thing right now and I don't care. Its my bod and I'll stripe if I want to. I was going through my OOTD  pics and realized..I might just be a little obsessed with stripes. :)
