Day 3

DAY 3 ~ WEDNESDAY

So since we got home on Sunday I have been looking for my ipod shuffle that I run with....,

I've already had to do laundry with this project,.... and I was transporting the laundry out of the dryer, and there was my shuffle wrapped up in my sports bra.... "oh good, you were washed AND dried..." But thank you apple for creating a product that could survive me,... the shuffle lives for it's next run.... :o)

Chris has an interview today for a company in Austin, TX .... which is a 12 hour drive to Gulf Breeze...  Austin is the "Live Music Capitol" ...

Ok My Minimalist Mission ... (hey I was in PR, give me a break...)

The items:

#1 Black Dress
#2 White Button Up
#3 Pink Cardigan
#4 Green Sweater
#5 Black Slacks

Minimalist & Parkor Playground

The Minimalist Wardrobe... I originally heard about this on The Today Show back in the fall,... I love the idea of purging... we have too much stuff... I am fairly good about clothes (some items go months without use, but still)... but there are purses in my closet that I have not used in YEARS... that is ridiculous.

So the concept from The Today Show is to use 5 pieces of clothing for 1 full week.... I am going to use 5 pieces of clothing for 2 working weeks (or at least try!) ... Some people call this project 333... but that last a months or more....

But I can wear whatever I want to the gym & on weekends... this is just work clothes ... also accessories/coats are not limited....

So here are my pieces....

#1 Black Dress
#2 White Button Up
#3 Pink Cardigan
#4 Green Sweater
#5 Black Slacks

And here is what I wore today Day 1....

I was thinking ...

any way...
If you are unfamiliar with Parkor,... please view this clip from The Office as a point of reference....
Ok... so now that we are on the same page,...
Auburn University offers a workout class called Parkor Playground, and tonight I am going to give it a shot,... so I will let you know how that goes....

Five Favs on Friday

Here are a few of my favorite things for this week... I hope you enjoy!

1. With Valentines day around the corner, these cups just make me wanna cuddle... too cute... The best price I found was on Amazon...  you can also find them at Nordstroms



2. Rachel Sherwood can testify that I hate cold feet :o) ... I believe there was a time in our friendship that greatly tested her love, and she passed with flying colors... But with these "plug-in" boots from Columbia (Bugathermo) could be just the cure, ... but $325 is a steep price... another option at an economical $40, are these plug-in heated inserts that you could put in any shoe.... The Columbia hiking boot can offer you 8 hours of  warmth while the plug in is 3+ hours....




3. If you are looking to get someone special a gift that will impress her but not leave an impression on your wallet :o) ... check out these key loops by Marc Jacobs for $5... Click HERE



4. Look good while doing good....Purchasing this necklace by the WhiteHouseBlackMarket benefits Living Beyond Breast Cancer ... Click HERE



5.This ring by Rachel Roy is gorgeous, I love it... price tag $55 Click HERE ... For a similar ring, for $10check out ASOS wing ring!



Happy Friday Y'all!!

Forgive My Bragging...

Ya know that friend that says ... "I don't mean to brag but..." and then proceeds with this laundry list of blah blah blahs?...

Well I don't mean to brag,... but I am SO proud of my hubby! He is graduating in 6 months and actively began the job hunt over a week ago... Already he has received one e-mail inquiring about job history, interest and etc...... another email stating "We are very interested in your multiple degrees..." and then proceeding to express interest in staying in touch in the coming months and scheduling an interview around spring break!.... and then today he received a call from Michelin scheduling a phone interview! ... Also he received an e-mail offering to pass his resume on....

My husband is amazing, charming & smart... anyone who interviews him will fall in love with him.

And for those of you interested the inquiring companies are located in Pensacola & South Carolina.

And because I am the proud wifey, here is his resume below, if you know of any mechanical engineer jobs....


 

Please keep us in your prayers as we venture on this journey ....

Just For Fun

This Saturday is the Pensacola Double Bridge Run 15k ....


 To help get me excited and keep motivated I have made a list of new songs I am planning on adding to my ipod.... if you click on the song you can hear the entire song at playlist.com ...

Tinie Tempah - Frisky <- This is a British rap star FYI

Relient K - Press On


All I do is win - TPAIN - For my Auburn Tigers








So Buckeye Chuck ground hug didn't see his shadow... and hopefully Spring will come early this year,... this has me waiting, hoping, wishing for the beach and pool days.... and when I think of the pool I think of me and my mom's synchronized swimming (cheerleading + swimming) attempts... if only we could be this good....








Side note --- Has anyone found a good bathing suit for this summer... I am still looking, but Vikkies never disappoints....

And just for fun,.... google "Painted Hands" 





War Eagle!
                                         

The question I am going to answer... can 10 minutes of ab work a day really make a difference The Ab Challenge... ?  I will let you know the 1st of March....
That is all I have for this Wednesday,...
