skinny isn't always sexy

When polled 59% of people thought that the size 12 model was the sexiest. They didn't know at the time that she was a size 12, instead they comments on how healthy she looks. More people voted for the size 16 model then both the size 6 and 8 models. Isn't that crazy to think we go through so much work to get skinny, granted the article was done in 2009 but it is still a confidence booster!

Olive Oil Suger Scrub

     I found the idea on pinterest. With that being said I have tried a couple of things already and they are really hit or miss. This was defiantly a hit! I wasn't happy that it left my legs initially feeling super oily but couldn't complain about the results the next day. Soft silky legs and not just for a few hours but for the next day also!!

   It honestly didn't look promising, but it works!

Scrub:

2 1/2 Cups of Sugar 

1 Cup of oil-I used vegetable but any fragranced body oil you have works

5 Tablespoons of a citrus juice-I used lime juice

 Go Time:

-Draw you a warm/hot bath

-Soak for about five minutes or longer

-Shave one leg 

-Take a small scoop of your homemade sugar scrub and scrub that leg and then rinse off 

-Shave your leg again- the same leg you rised off 

-Take a scoop of sugar scrub and scrub your leg again. 

-Repeat on your other leg. 

-After your bath, dry off and then lotion your legs. 

When you shave your leg the first time it removes the hair. When you scrub after you shave, it removes any dead skin. By shaving your leg again after you use the sugar scrub, you are getting all of that dead skin off of your leg. You will need to rinse your razor frequently also I suggest sitting on the side of the tub as the water gets kind of gross. It does not need to be refrigerated although should be kept in a tupperware container. Thanks Gluten Free Navy Wife

Cardio Tennis Mishap

For the love of all things holy, do NOT wear a thong with a tennis skirt.

 I can't stress this enough, a lady during the session did and nobody enjoys it. 

Watching her pick you tennis balls was just ugly I can't speak of how awful it was!  

Baby Blue Dresser

    I have painted my first piece of furniture! The idea came from pintrest and with the help of Bobby from Home Depot it came out exactly as I hoped. Sorry for my lack of pictures I had not idea this project was going to be blog worthy. 

(Storm clouds began to move in before I got to snap more pictures)

     After I removed all of the hardware, I gently sanded all of the surfaces I wanted to paint. This took off the glossy finish and gave the piece a unique look. I used two coats of Kilz primer, I chose this one because the spray paint can was cheap and less mess and it worked out great. Once that all had dried I used Krylon Ocean Breeze spray paint for my main color. It only took three cans which gave the entire dresser three coats! Has that dried I went and saw Bobby at Home Depot and he showed me the Martha Stewart Bronze Glaze. This is the first item I could not buy at Walmart and was the most expensive- a whooping eight dollars. With an old cleaning rag I applied the glaze fairly generous over the Ocean Breeze color. The glaze highlight the destressed look I was aiming for while I was sanding. I haven't added a sealer, not sure if I need to because I have a piece of glass that is going to protect the top. 

July Fourth!

    
   I am so excited to say that I just booked my flight to spend the Fourth of July in Oxford!!! It is a much need break from living at home, work and being apart from Matt. I am going be there from 5 days because the fourth falls on a wednesday and I took off work thursday and friday! Naturally, Matt has to work those two days so of course I am going to meet up with sorority sisters, friends and spend spoil Isla rotten. Last year I left for home the day after the Fourth of July, on the left is a picture we snapped that night after we watched fireworks! I can't wait to get back to my little Oxford family, I can't believe how much I miss it! 

Gavin DeGraw

   




      So a few months ago Gavin DeGraw came to Ole Miss and I wanted so desperately to see him although the night he came it rained. With the stage being the Grove, the concert didn't end well.  So while at home, my very thoughtful mother decided it would be fun to get tickets to his concert. He came on tour with Colbie Caillat and they were amazing!! We sat on the lawn and had ourselves a little picnic dinner. After a little dancing and my phone dying we headed home. It was a great break from my summer classes and nannying!
