A skinny cow, I just couldn't resist. Oh, the irony.

Biker Babes

stylish and green!

Can she really ride in those heels?

Quick way to dry after your shower...ride your bike in a robe and towel on your head

Can you handle it? Biking is back baby. The weather is getting warming and these ferocious ladies make me want to pump my tires (no pun intended).

Ya, HIII

I'm crafting one of these babies...that's why my dad has to keep buying new ethernet cables....

Weekend Roundup

What I'm loving this weekend: The Bar Method

 

Working it out, thanks to Burr. (I know...Burr, that's her name). The Bar Method is an exercise that uses isometrics (tiny movements) to target different muscle groups in your body. It doesn't sound hard..but think about holding your arm out straight for 5 minutes...it hurts like hell and you aren't even doing anything. 

Kelly Osbourne swore by The Bar Method, and she went from a 14 to a size 2, so I figured it was worth a try. The 50 minute workout started nice and easy with some stretching and warming up...but once we got into the "heavy" stuff...I couldn't even make it all the way through. Legs, arms, and stomach were all shaking..muscles I didn't even know I had were shaking. 

Definitely worth a try, your muscles will be burning for a few days after! Learn more here

Shopping Warfare

Computer screen glowing, hitting refresh constantly once the clock hit 11am, face an inch away from the screen....no, this is not how I normally sit on my computer, this was a day unlike any other...

Today was the day of the Outnet.com $2 birthday sale, or as I like to call it "Shopping Warfare," and me and my troop (1 loyal supporter who helped keep me calm in the chaos) got ready to shop like the wind baby!

Once the email came at 11:13am, PANIC, I launched into the exclusive sale and wanted to look at everything, but with a sale like this:

- 2,000 people granted access
- 2,500 items all for $2
- Only 1 of each item can be purchased
- Items in your cart are still up for grabs 
- You can only enter one time, once you check out, you are out

you had to act fast, I missed out on some great pieces because I just wasn't quick enough and wanted to browse, but ultimately scored a killer Emilio Pucci dress that only costs me $2.08 including tax.

My Loot: Emilio Pucci Silk Blend Dress

You CAN NOT beat a deal like that. Special shout out to my troop who tried to keep me off of my tilt as much as possible.

The whole encounter only took 10 minutes...but shopping warfare was stressful. Hopefully everyone who was granted access got some good merchandise. Ultimately, we all scored something amazing for $2, and I normally spend more than that on coffee, so who can complain?

I've got the golden ticket!

Ladies and gentlemen, I have been lucky enough to get one of The Outnet's $2 tickets. 

On the floor dying right now...as we speak.....

Lady Gaga: Harpers Bazaar

Lady Gaga in May 2011 Harpers Bazaar. Looking fierce as always.

Inspired by: The Secret Garden

This post is inspired by one of my favorite books from when I was younger, The Secret Garden. If you aren't familiar, it's a good read, a girl who lost her negligent parents is sent to live in a castle in England with her Uncle. There she find a bed ridden cousin, a friend in the help, and a secret garden locked behind a castle wall....and the plot thickens.  Get literate, read the book.

Inspired by the garden of this book I have found cute jewelery that is reminiscent of, you guessed it, a garden.  Now all I need to find is a bed ridden cousin and a gardener who will also be my BFF :)
