Animal Cruelty

WARNING!!!!
Watch this at your own risk.
THIS IS A VERY GRAPHIC AND VIOLENT MESSAGE ABOUT ANIMAL CRUELTY
Mike walked in on me sobbing uncontrollably for at least 20 minutes after watching this
I actually just couldn't stop crying
It makes my heart ache to see kids or animals abused



I'm normally not an advocate for giving money to charity organizations
as I am under the believe that sometimes the people who benefit the most are those at the top of the organization
BUT
I was desperate to help in some way
so
I bit the bullet and.....


Thanks Brooke Richardson, you're done!
Your donation has been sent to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Return to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) »


I just feel like the world can be such a sad place 
and if a small chunk of money that I would have otherwise spent on something silly and unimportant would save just ONE animal  
I am IN!

NYC post trip

This had to be one of the best trips I've ever been on
I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute of it
including our scary ride on the subway towards Harlem/The Bronx
Luckily for us we ended that trip prematurely and 
found a way to get back down towards Brooklyn!

Even tho the rooms were tiny, we loved our stay in the always classy Hotel Wales
And if we weren't walking our booties off we were eating at places like 
The steak at Sarahbeth's was to die for!
SOOO yummmmmy!

V-day festivities


Be yourself, together #love #valentine #quote

It seems like V-day always sneaks up on me (and M)
just today he asked me what day it was,
bad sign, I know right?
Lucky for him I'm not one of those girls who have to have big elaborate gifts 
and expect over the top gestures.

A simple homemade dinner and hand written card will do 
for this simple girl.

What do you think of V-day?  Too commercialized?  Do you love it/hate it?  
What about you single girls out there?  Do you pamper yourself a bit ( I def know I would!!)?

Editing Magic


(image via my fabulous friend, Jamie)

Facebook friends (I love you all by the way)
(You make me feel so awesome)
and have been so generous with your sweet comments 
but there is a secret I must admit to

I DON'T LOOK LIKE MY PICTURE ON FACEBOOK!!!
The image on the left is totally un-touched while the one on the right
has been edited

Points of interest:
-Chapped lips gone and also filled a little to look bigger
-nose appears more slender
-Bags under eyes are gone and skin underneath brightened
-eyes were brightened (although no color was added)
-Zits on bottom right chin removed
-Eyebrows filled in 
-Eye shadow filled in especially on the right eye

Hard to admit but all you gals out there who think you need to look like supermodels
please take a second to realize that they are touched up like
Cra-Cra!

Photoshop does amaze things!!!

I'm off to the gym
in just a few 
I will be scheduling my workouts from now on according to my tv schedule
ya brilliant, I know
Tonight is The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Burn baby burn
