My Weekend :)

Friday night I was quite the bore.  I was exhausted from my work week so I decided to stay in for the night. 
I poured myself a glass of Senor Sangria and hung out on the couch watching TV all night.
I’m really into making my own sangria but when you’re in a pinch store sold bottle sangria will have to do.
I’ve tried “Yago Sangria”

& to be honest I’m not crazy about the taste AT ALL!  I couldn’t taste all the different flavors you usually taste in a great glass of sangria.  I actually ended up pouring the whole bottle down the sink the one time I purchased this.


Señor Sangria in “Classic Red” has been my go to store sold sangria!  If any of you ladies is looking for a great Sangria to try, this is your bottle!! Señor Sangria is sweet, satisfying and has just enough kick to remind you that you’re drinking.

~ Saturday ~
Lately I’ve been getting a Shellac manicure at the nail salon.

Not a fan of regular manicures, but don’t want to ruin your nails with acrylics or gel nails? Well, a couple weeks ago I found a solution for all of you manicure lovers out there! This past spring CND came out with Shellac nail polish. You might be saying Shellac, hmm what is this exactly? Shellac is a cross between gel nails and traditional nail polish.  It gets applied like regular nail polish, but dries like a gel. Shellac gives your manicure a little more stability than the usual manicure, allowing it to last longer.
Shellac manicures take slightly more time because after each coat you have to put your hand under UV light. You are not getting as much UV light as you do with gels or acrylics. It is totally worth the few extra minutes, because immediately after you take your hand out of the UV light for the last time, your manicure is completely dry. I walked out of the salon a little hesitant, as I’m used to having to sit and let it dry for awhile before touching anything. I put my gloves on and when I took them off later, no smudges! It was a miracle; I could go about my regular business immediately after getting my manicure.

This is 4 days after my salon visit.  Still no chips.

Some people say they get bored of their color and wouldn’t want the same color on for two weeks.  I can see their point, but two weeks isn’t that long to me, and I just love looking down at my polished smudge free nails!

Late afternoon on Saturday my best friends Heather, Kim & I went to Toms River, NJ “SailFest.” This sailboat regatta, street fair and shore party includes food, craft vendors, music and dancing. The girls and I had a great time!

After “SailFest,” the girls and I ate dinner at Wharfside Patio Bar & Restaurant. I always enjoy going to Wharfside in the summer when the weathers warm because the restaurant has a live band that plays great music, delicious food and its located right on the water!

Kimmie being cute!

Heather, Myself, Kim – Enjoying a gorgeous night!

After Wharfside the girls and I headed over to Jenks in Point Pleasant, NJ.







Do any of you ladies have good plans coming up for this weekend?
I don’t have anything good planned yet, but hopefully I do something fun

Weekend Recap & GTKY!

Friday- My roommates Jess, Rebecca and I did a little girl time running errands and such.  The girls wanted to go tanning and Jess had a free tan so she let me use it at Beach Bum Tanning.  I went in the platinum level bed for 8 minutes.  It's nuts how many freckles came out on my face in that short period of time.  Then we went to the Verizon store because Rebecca and I are looking to get the iPhone and it just came out in white!  Rebeccas studying abroad starting the end of August and the iPhone doesn't have international so she can't use it.  Plus, the iPhone 5 is "supposedly" coming out this October so I think I may wait.  Then we went to "Face Value" to look at nail polish!  I really think my extreme nail polish hoarding really revved up all because of them and their love for nail polish.  We did contain ourselves and walked out empty handed :)  We had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.  So delicious!! After a filling meal we came home to get beautified for a night out.  My best friend Heather came up (like she usually does) because Friday may be one of our last good, fun college nights out before the semester ends :(

Saturday: I came home for Steves Birthday!

I Love You Steve!  I went to his house so he could open his gifts. I forgot to take pictures :( ... I got him new Nike gym sneakers, plaid shorts and a Tshirt that says "Los Cabos".  My family gave him bathing suits, so he's all set for vacation now.  We watched the Yankees play against Toronto, Yankees won 5-4.  It was a good game! I was going to get Steve tickets for that game and I'm mad I ended up not getting them.  After the game we headed to the mall so he could return so clothes and look for things for vacation.  I ended up buying these items from New York & Company.

$41.96

$36.95

White Leather Handbag - $30.06

Plus, a floppy beach hat, a ring, and a K inital necklace.

All weren't pictured on the website.

In Express I purchased.

Scoop-Neck Dolman Tee

Color: Cannes  $29.90

Graphic Double Layer Cami

$44.90

Crossbody bag $39.90

I only went to Victoria Secret beause my surprise amount-off coupon was expiring.

I also had $10 off coupons, and a free panty coupon.

I bought 3 new pairs of underwear, an orange PINK tee not picured online, and PINK coral shorts.

Steve and I had a small dinner, we split a plate because we both weren't extremely hungry, then saw the new FAST 5 movie!!

Fast Five is full of beautiful cars, beautiful women and

GOREGOUS SEXY MEN!!

*PAUL WALKER* and VIN DIESEL!

Both of these men are truely so sexy in my eyes :)

I've been a huge fan of the "Fast and the Furious" movies since the beginning.  All of them are part of my "Favorite Movies." 

 Fast 5 didn't disappoint!! It's full of action, suspense, and good laughs.  There were so many toe-curling-moments!  I really enjoyed it and would recommend seeing it!

That was pretty much my whole weekend!

How was your weekend?

Share with me what you did!

Hello BEAUTIFUL weather!!!

WARM 80 degree weather has FINALLY come to NEW JERSEY!!

I'm so unbelievably happy! :)

If any of you ladies live in NJ or in surrounding states you must know what I'm talking about.  Everyone has been wishing, hoping and anticipating for a beautiful day like today!

I'm hoping it's here to stay because it makes me so happy, and motivated to do things.

After my morning class ended at 11ish, I headed over to the gym, ran errands,and came home did some free weights.

Everyone is outside enjoying this niceweather.  My neighbors across the street decided to soak in the sun on the roof outside their front windows.

Yes, I'm a creep and took this picture from my window.. ahah

I had a hell of a week, last week.  I had 3 exams and a 10 page paper due all last week..

I had anxiety to the MAX!

I submitted my paper last night at 10PM...  That was such a good feeling!

I didn't think I survived: I probably slept like 5 hours each night, was running on coffee/soda, had note cards everywhere and anywhere.  But I made it!

I have no coursework from now until classes are over, just to study for finals.  My first final is I think the last Thursday of this month, so that isn't far away.

My roommates and I went to "Stuff Yur Face" for dinner and drinks before we headed out for the night on Friday.  These were our "starter" drinks

In way they were quite different, but the bond they shared was stronger. And they knew that they'd be friends at least forever, maybe longer.
