Tuesdays...

So...today is Tuesday...a day that comes every week & drags on...and on...
A friend at work & I have called it "Terrible Tuesday" for years....hoping one week it would get better & trying to find ways throughout the day to make it more "terrific"!

Well, today I found 2 things to turn my "terrible" into "terrific"!

First, I got an email from DSW, which was showcasing their new line of shoes,
 from the Miss. America pageant!
 I found a handful of shoes from that collection alone that I MUST HAVE!

Here's some of my faves:

You can find these shoes HERE!


And then....after a few hours later I decided I needed a real pick me up!

So, at my office, we have this fancy-pants coffee/tea maker. You buy a "flavor" from a vending machine, for 50 cents & put the packet into a machine & put your cup underneath, and out comes your fresh cup of hotness!
 I've started to get one around 3:00 everyday!

Today, I tried a new flavor....and found my "terrible" Tuesday instantly became "terrific"!

My new-found flavor of choice is...

So - if you ever find your Tuesdays aren't so "terrific" - just look around you...in an email or the vending machine & hopefully your Tuesday
will turn out to be not-so-terrible, just like mine did!
Hopefully ~
next Tuesday I will have the same "luck" in staying on the "terrific" side of the day!!

Have a great rest of the week!!

2011 Goals!

 Here’s the long-awaited list of goals I
 have set for the  first 6 months of 2011!

I had a meeting with one of my good friends/business & life coach, she helps keep me focused & also helped prioritize my list of things I want & need to accomplish to get LF Events launched, here is that list! (
Thanks, D~)

* Finalize all “legal” paperwork
* Join local networking group
* Get more “BLOG” friendly
* Finish website
* Continue education with classes in Marketing/Entrepreneurship & certification courses for Wedding & Event planning
* Build relationships with local vendors
* Plan a June/July official “launch” party

I will update you all with my progress! I hope to have a fun & fabulous 2011, as I take my dream to a new level! I wish you all the best with your goals in this new year as well!

Getting Motivated!

Hi Everyone & Happy 2011!

One of my main goals this year is to lose some post-baby pounds! I have gained a total of about 195lbs, with all 3 of my kids! When I was 19 & 20, it seemed much easier to get rid of those extra pounds than it's been this time around. SO - I've decided to find motivation from outside sources & get on board to lose these pounds, before my daughter turns 2, in September!

I found a new product, the
Baboosh Body, by Brooke Burke. I used it today for the 1st time & loved it! In the last 10 days, I've worked out 5. That's not bad, considering the last time I was at the gym, was last Summer! I commited to 4-5 days a week, in my list of 2011 goals!

I also decided for the first 3 1/2 months (until my March 18th birthday...)
I would become a vegetarian. I was a vegan for almost 8 years, and was in the best shape & felt healthy & just overall fabulous! I don't want to go over board with that just yet, but so far, 10 days into being vegetarian, I am feeling great!

So, as we go into the second week of the new year...I wish you all luck with your goals & staying motivated!

I will go into my goals for LF Events in my next post!

Stay Tuned...&...Have a great week!
