Snow Shoveling Workout

Good Morning All,

I got up this morning with the intentions of going to the gym to weight lift. I walked outside into a winter wonderland. I live in a condo so we have snow removal services; however, they only do common areas and not a good job. So at 5:40AM this I was removing snow from my car and making a path for my husband's car (he was at work) and my daughter to walk Nutmeg. I had the intentions only cleaning off my car and going to the gym. I didn't make it to the gym. I cleared out my two parking spots, two of my neighbor's parking spots and sidewalks for my daughter and Nutmeg to walk. I didn't have to go to the gym because it was a workout shoveling snow. I didn't go inside my house till about 7:30AM. Almost two hours shoveling snow. I felt great. I could of stayed longer; however, I didn't want too because you have to be careful of shoveling snow when you are a certain age. I workout and I think I am in good shape. Anyways, I went in the house and had a clementine and began to take off my clothes to get in the shower. I was itching all over. I broke out in hives on my legs and thighs. There were big welts on my thighs and I couldn't stop itching. The hot shower didn't make it better, it made it worse. It was like my skin was thawing out. Never again. I think I need to take a Benadryl. Now, as I am watching the news, the weatherman was saying that you should wait to shovel the snow, because the temperature is going to melt the snow anyway. Go figure.

Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic. Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time. All is good and the Creator is in charge. I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size. I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature. I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag. There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone. This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months. The leather reminds me of the Prada S...

I Am Back

Blessings To Everyone, It has been two months since I last blogged. I have been extremely busy with work. I was working on a dress for success event with both my employers that includes Ann Taylor. We created an initiative to teach graduates how to dress for interviews and what to wear for work. At my primary job, we have to create initiatives along with my current job duties. The event was a success. One of the student models was offered a job at the new Loft flagship in Chicago. I also have been contemplating which way I would like this blog to go. The blog started out as a self help for me and to inspire others as well. I want to focus on inspiring others. In the past two months I have been out of town to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Going to New York was one of the things I wanted to do before I leave this world. I would say that it is part of my bucket list. I enjoyed myself. You know I love all thing...

Happy 4th of July

H A P P Y 4 T H O F J U L Y ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I would like to take this opportunity to say Happy 4th of July to all. I am taking it easy today. My hubby barbecued some jerk chicken breast that have been marinating over night, some beef hot dogs, some lamb burgers, hamburgers, jerk shrimp, and some chicken quarters. I did a healthy alternative to my famous macaroni and cheese ( wheat rotini noodles). We are keeping it light. My sister is coming over and we are just going to watch some movies and relax. As an ode to the 4th of July, here are some items that I recommend not only for today, but for all time. Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
