Happy Thanksgiving!!

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am up bright and early this morning to get the turkey in the oven.  It is cooking away and Brian got his family recipe stuffing in the bird and it is cooking away as well!!  I love the way the house smells on Thanksgiving!

I have so many things to be thankful for, my family, my friends, my job, I could go on and on all day long  ( I just might do that!!) 

Brian's parents are here today and Nick and Lauren and Jake will be here later this morning!  It's a small group for us this year.  A bit unusual and I will have to remember not to make as much food.  I have a tendency to make a LOT of food!  I love to cook so this isn't a problem for me, but I am cutting back somewhat this year.

Our menu includes the turkey and stuffing, corn casserole, cranberry relish, big salad, green beans, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and of course the rolls!  I'm sure I'm forgetting something in there.  I usually make homemade noodles, but not this year.  I'm hoping that there isn't a mutiny...... 

Isn't it funny how so many dishes become a tradition.  One year I didn't make the corn casserole and I thought the kids were going to cry.  So, I know that it has to be included every year!  But I love the traditions that our family has created.

We will travel to my mom and dad's tomorrow.  No black Friday shopping for me, but I never do that!  If I want the good deals, then I'll order online.  I am not a big fan of getting up early and shopping!

Nerium is offering a good Black Friday special.  If you want to check it out, please do so!  I absolutely love this stuff and it is getting results for me and so many other people.
  Just click here to see the great deals - psst....  free shipping is one of them!  There is also a good video of before and after results photos.  You don't want to miss those.  AMAZING!

So Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!  I pray that you are blessed beyond your wildest dreams this year!

Fun Friend Weekend!

It's always fun to get together with friends.  Especially friends you haven't seen in a while.  I think that one of the best things about facebook is that I have connected with so many of my friends I had lost touch with since high school!

Saturday, I met up with Robin and Patty!  We had a good time catching up, seeing photos of kids and furry babies and just hanging out!

Brian and I also visited the George Washington Carver National Park.  We hadn't been there and decided to venture over and take a look around.  I think it would be gorgeous in the spring when everything is in bloom.

We have decided that there are plenty of things to see locally that we need to check out.
If you have a favorite local place, be sure to share it with me!  We love a good adventure!

Today started my 90 Day Health Challenge.  90 days of clean eating, working out and getting healthy.  I did ChaLEAN Extreme this morning and after more than an hour, my arms and legs are still shaky!  I love that.  Finished up with my results and recovery and muscle formula.  I am planning on seeing some GREAT results!

Not sure if you are aware of it or not, but I have started another business.  I am working with Nerium.  It is an anti-aging night treatment.  There are some really good results happening and I love it.  If you are local and would like to try a sample for 5 days, please get in touch with me.  I tell you, you will NOT be sorry!  My skin is so smooth and age spots are fading, pores are shrinking and lines are filling in!  YAY!

How was your weekend?  Do anything fun?

A few of my favorite things.....

It's been a while since I've shared some of my favorite things.  So, I think it's high time to chat about them....

I can't do a blog post about my favorite things without mentioning my vita-mix.  I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY!  I usually take it with me everywhere I go.  This weekend, we went to the lake and I didn't take it, I missed it.  My shakeology wasn't as good, my soup wasn't as good.  I'm spoiled and I know it!

I also love my fitbit.  I love that the website is free, I love that it clips to my bra and no one can see it do it's thing.  They have a new one out - the Fitbit Ultra.  The difference with the new one is that it will count your climb.  It has a clock on it too.  As cool as it sounds ( I am a gadget junkie), I will stick with my old one for now.  It is working fine and I don't NEED the extra stuff right now. Right?

I just got a clarisonic and am LOVING it!  It is taking my skin care routine to a new level. 

Speaking of skin care, I LOVE Nerium AD.    I am getting really great results with it.  Check it out for sure!  Lightening my age spots and wrinkles are disappearing!  YAY!

I got the new Urban Decay Naked eye shadow palette and it is certainly one of my favorite things these days as well as Korres makeup.

My Brooks sneakers are a Godsend! My plantar fasciitis is doing so much better since I got them! If you are local, be sure to check out The Run Around for the best shoes and best service!

I've been drinking Coconut Water lately and it is helping me to stay hydrated and I'm enjoying it.  I picked up the Zico Chocolate flavored one at Whole Foods this weekend.  Haven't tried it yet, I'll let you know how it is -

 speaking of chocolate - Chocolate Shakeology is da bomb.com!!  Refer back to the vita-mix to get the best shake ever!!!

These are a few of my favorite things..... I have many more, but that is enough for now.  What are your favorite things right now?
