Company Socials

March 6, 2013 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

I think I’m dropping the 365 .. no one cares so it doesn’t matter. And if you care well … it’s my blog. And I’ll still try to update every day like I have since 19 days ago. Eeps.

There was a birthday celebration at work today. (When do we NOT have one …) Cake had polka dots that I find super cute so I snapped a picture of it. The cake on the other hand was meh. The fudge in the middle was almost 2 inches thick and was hard. Not fun. Not a fan. Everyone else liked it though.

Tonight we had a company social in Midtown. I hate driving so driving while there’s traffic? Hate it even more. I found this though which I have seen other times on other people’s facebooks. Thought I’d snap it as a reminder to everyone to be yourself. Sorry for the bad quality … I was trying to drive.

We had sangria and lots of food. Here is the sangria with paella. Mmmm … I love company socials. Not because we get free food … that’s just a plus. It’s just great to meet new people and to get to know the ones you work with and see everyday.

Since no one from my team went this time, I got to meet and get to know more people. I wasn’t tied down with the ones I work with. More free if you will.

Anyway, tomorrow I have to wake up super early to shower. That is definitely not happening today. I will comment back and read all the blogs tomorrow!

And since I had a social tonight, I didn’t get a chance to workout. Don’t worry though. I changed my Saturday off with today. Gotta make it up.

Two more days. We can do it!

[2013] 019/365: Best Probably Unhealthy Snack Ever

March 5, 2013 by Mellie Dee 12 Comments

I had a Hong Kong snack day at work today. The best memories ever. I’m not sure how healthy it is for you … but who cares. The seaweed isn’t like the ones from sushi. It’s much crispier. So much yummier.

We use to drink this Lemon Tea when we were little kiddos back in Hong Kong. When we moved to America, we were so happy that they sold it here. We rarely bought it because it’s not that great for you but the times that I do … oh my. I only like Lemon Tea from Hong Kong. The way they make it here just isn’t right.

The seaweed on the other hand was introduced to me by Rachel this past summer. I was a little hesitant to try it but once I did I knew I was hooked. If you have this selling anywhere near you, you need to try it pronto.

I just want to go back to Hong Kong. Who’s down to go with me?

My after workout face. Haven’t taken a selfie in a while. Hair is ratchet. I hate that word but it’s true. I’m wearing my Ellie top if you can’t tell. 😉

Below was my dinner. I love this soup. I made it all throughout college. Water, cabbage, tofu, and Chinese meatballs (or just plain chicken breasts). I got Jenny making it to when we lived together. Oh college. Seemed like years ago.

Workouts have been going well. Come on perfect bod! haha jk.

Hump day tomorrow. FINALLY!

[2013] 018/365: Ellie Deserves A Second Chance

March 4, 2013 by Mellie Dee 6 Comments

After the whole PV.Body debacle, many people decided not to give Ellie a chance.

I was so close to doing the same because what they did was wrong … but I gave them a second chance. Everyone deserves a second chance. Plus, I’m not picky in what I wear to workout … as long as it covers up the majority of my body parts AND it doesn’t chafe … I’m good.

I’ve worn these to workout in three times since I’ve gotten them in case you were wondering.

This is literally what I picked from Ellie. I’m lazy and this just looks good. Given … it looks nothing like this when I wear it. More like a fat burrito with all the fixin’s wanting to get out.

Tempt Me Racerback | $39.95

I love this racerback … and I rarely say that to tops because they always get all up in my business. That’s what happens when you have a big bust. But this fits perfectly. Much more comfortable then that name brand they sent over when they were still PV.Body. I obviously had to wear a sports bra underneath, but that’s normal. Oh and its super absorbent and dries SUPER SUPER fast.

The only bad thing I have to say though is the panels in the front and the middle of the back are holes. I wished it was a double layer so that it covered that up. Love the design, hate the holes.

Love Struck Legging | $69.95

I love the thickness of them … but yet they are thin. And it keeps me super warm on these last few days of coldness. The legging part is much more comfortable to me then the other name brand ones I got from them when they were PV.Body.

The only complaint I have about them is the waistband. The one they sent when they were PV.Body was way better. I wished it was a little wider so that it uh … covers up my fat. I would say the waistband does move around a little when I do a more vigorous activity. But for lifting and whatnot … it works perfectly.

***************

I understand Ellie is a new line so they’re sticking with usual colors like black, grey, blue, and pink … but it’d be nice if they branched out a little. Can’t wait when that does happen!

And don’t be discouraged by my negative comments. I love both the pieces for different reasons. But in all good things, there are bad. Everyone likes things differently.

With that being said, if you click on anything on this post that says Ellie, you get 20% off. Sweet huh? Get a move on why don’t yah.

*I received the outfit free of charge but all opinions are my own.
**All pictures from Ellie.

[2013] 017/365: Blogger Listings

March 3, 2013 by Mellie Dee 1 Comment

These are my “pictures” for the day … I have two new buttons on my sidebar.

Shane from Whispering Sweet Nothings has this Coast to Coast blogger listings going on. It’s pretty genius. You get to search for people around your area! But it’s just also cool to check out people around the world and find other bloggers easily. The map seriously makes things SO easy.

Robin from At Four O’Clock is doing this new listing called Random/Lifestyle Blogger Listing. All my posts are random and weird and mostly about my boring life so it fits perfectly! Go check it out.

Lazy Sundays are the best. Just video gaming and movies with sissy and Brett!

I hope y’all had a good weekend. I’m not ready for this week to start.

[2013] 017/365: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Just an uplifting quote from Yogi.

All I’ve done today is hang out with family. Best times. Sissy, Brett and I have been playing a lot of this Marvel game. So fun! Yay Playstation!

We are still playing so I’ll talk to y’all later. If this post looks weird, it’s cuz it’s from my phone!

Happy weekend y’all!
