SHAPE UP WITH LILY COLLINS

I was excited to see Lily Collins on the cover of my Shape magazine that arrived the other day.  I haven't had a magazine subscription for a few years and when I saw a special for a year's subscription of Shape for $3 I had to get it!  Now to make sure I take some me time to sit down and read it!

One of my favorite ways to sit down and read a magazine is with a good cup if tea, like the one shown in the picture above.  It's a Bavarian chocolate creme and it's as delicious as it sounds!  We recently went on a family vacation to the Cape Cod area in Massachusetts and we came across this cute little tea house called the Dunbar House.  Although, I didn't have time to sit down for a fancy cup of tea and scones, I was able to take some loose leaf tea home with me, and I'm sure glad I did!

I also purchased Earl Grey Vanilla creme and Winter While Earl Grey.  I love a good cup of Earl Grey so I was happy to see some variations of it to try out!

Do you have any favorite teas or have a favorite way to read a magazine?  Coffee makes me happy too! I also enjoy reading by a pool but now my days are spent swimming with the kids rather than relaxing and working on a tan! Haha

Weekend Recap and Giveaway Results!

Hey girls! I hope you all had a good weekend!

My husband and I didn't have any big plans. It was just kind of nice and relaxing.

Did you do anything fun or exciting??

Since Sunday morning I've been feeling kind of lousy. Sore throat and sick to my stomach.I don't know why. I've been drinking lots of tea with honey, and hoping that will cure my sore throat.

 I've also been eating ice cream and sipping shakes which also help with a sore throat but do not help with the waistline! I'm feeling chunky today!

Hopefully I will be a 100% here soon.I think it's just been going around unfortunately!

Onto something that's not unfortunate at all, is that I won Sherin from HiFashion's giveaway!!  I was so excited to hear I won the DKNY Be Delicious perfume giveaway Sherin was holding!

I've been wanting this perfume for a long time now, but I just don't like to spend too much money on perfume, so most of the time I end up sticking to body sprays, but I can't wait to receive this in the mail! I know it smells so good! I'm in need of a new scent too! Thanks Sherin!

Any new scents you girls are loving these days?

Onto Acceptable or Not

So I am still new at wearing leggings....I've got a question....does this shirt work with just a pair of black leggings rather than jeans? Is it long enough? It does cover my back end...lol....so is it acceptable to wear out? Just wondering what you all think....let me know! What do you pair with leggings??

Shirt and black leggings: Forever 21

Well, that is all for now! I hope all of you are having a wonderful day! I hope to hear from you! :)
