This past weekend was filled with reunions. Whoop! And it’s nice to see that friendships haven’t died. I mean, yeah I’ve been gone for almost one year. But it’s nice that I’m able to talk to them like I use to. Like nothing’s changed. I know I say that a lot but I’m just so thankful for it all.

I was lucky enough to stay at an old friend’s place. Thanks Jane, Chris, Long & Vy!

I bought them a cake to say thank you. That fruit was delectable.

I even got to see Liliana, Marisol, Andy, Jakob, and Nayeli. We went to Kona and had a fun time just talking and making new memories.

I even got to spend one on one time with Liliana. I miss those. They always make me so happy. I can always tell her SO much. It’s crazy.

 

Sunday was Julia and Noel’s Wedding. Look how precious they are. The love is in their eyes.

I’ve known them since they started college. And they’ve both grown SO SO SO much. They learn from each other and no matter how far apart they are their love stays strong. They never give up when times get rough. They are the definition of love.

High school sweethearts win for this round. Wish them all the best!

They had little snacks for cocktail hour. Yum!

And an open bar … say what?! The little shot glass in the back was our souvenir. Love love love! This would be a Cinnamon Whiskey & Coke. So good!

I drove home right after the wedding. I had a lot of fun. Dancing, photo booths, seeing the two love birds finally celebrating their tying of the knot. Congratulations you two!

Since I came home super late … early Monday morning that is … I took the day off. Got manicures with Samantha and had a lunch date. We went to Ikea, got her a dining table with chairs, helped build one then went to happy hour with Mallory.

We call ourselves The Powerpuff girls. Mallory is blonde … therefore Bubbles. Samantha is a redhead … therefore Blossom. And I have black hair … therefore Buttercup.

I’ve never seen the show but I found it funny that we were like that.

Love them. I get to see them again tomorrow night! Holla!

I’ve been at San Antonio since yesterday afternoon. And it’s so nice to catch up with people I haven’t seen in so long!

I even watched Hansel & Gretel. Watch it. Love it. I did.

The wedding’s tomorrow! Can’t wait to see everyone!

Ahhh!

I don’t want to dress up though. Hopefully it doesn’t rain or else it’s even worse.

Sorry for a short update. I’m too busy hanging out with my peeps.

I’ll talk to you soon and hope that you all are having a great weekend!

I would oh so happily write all about my wine tasting experience.

But sadly I have to write my GPA report that’s due tomorrow at noon.

Eeep. Gotta best get on that.

Another thing I need to get on is the whole losing lbs thing.

I know people usually start right when January started … but I didn’t.

Therefore, I start tomorrow.

Until next time … Stay Positive & Think Good Thoughts.

If I ever am lonely enough and really want a man, I know where to go … New Orleans.

I got hit on numerous times to the point I had to tell my coworker to NEVER leave my side!

Thursday night I went over to Samantha’s area of the world and we watched Les Miserables.

I thought the girl in the pictures was Honey Boo Boo … that someone photoshopped her face in their. Whoops. Sorry amazing singing girl.

This movie made me wish I was in theater and a singer. And it made me miss orchestra too. Bleugh!

I was so excited to see this movie I forgot my phone at the restaurant. Scariest moment ever. I couldn’t enjoy the movie as a whole since in the back of my mind all I could think about was the movie.

Oh, and he was a pretty cutie. Eddie Redmayne. When he sings though, his vibrato throughout his body is pretty ridiculous. His whole neck up just shakes.

Last night, I went to Midnight Rodeo with Mallory, Samantha, John K., and Robert. Two others were suppose to come too but … nope.

We had fun regardless. Lots of laughs, singing, and dancing. It’s always fun with them!

Later today I get to go to my first wine tasting and then sushi after. Can’t wait.

Happy Saturday y’all!

First things first.

When I read on Alex’s post said that she has handwriting known as the Shabo font … I commented and told her I would like to see it. You know … a picture would do.

But oh she’s a sweetheart. Upon arriving home last night, I got this:

Seriously, the Shabo font should be a font you use on the computer. It’s so pretty and definitely neat. She even threw in a vegenaise coupon. I don’t use mayo much but I will certainly try this! And the sticker. I love love love it.

Thanks, Alex! I love it all! Mail is my favorite thing ever!

And now to some serious matter.

I know today’s post was suppose to be about my trip and all but … as y’all know, I love PV.Body. Until they decided to change their ways.

I got an email a few days ago and haven’t had the time since I was on my business trip.

They started out the company as a place for us to get amazing workout clothes from places like Lululemon. Or so they say. Then got us to promote it because we seriously think it’s such a genius idea. It really is.

But once they got a big enough subscribing number, they dropped the ball that they are going to start up their own line, Ellie, and give those pieces out instead. AND raised the price. Some people didn’t even notice because it automatically charges their cards each month.

When I initially read the email, I thought they were just going to INCORPORATE some pieces of Ellie. Not just have us ONLY receive Ellie.

This is the gist of the email I received:

Ellie is the newest brand in high-end, fashionable women’s athletic wear.  We will have more of what you love – fun, bold, and trendy fitness fashions with a variety of designs. With a new collection every month, Ellie will consistently deliver the latest styles that are exclusively for our members! You can expect to see top quality materials, durable stitching, and of course, the perfect fit!  The best part is that you will get to choose which two pieces you want each month!

Starting February 1st, the pv.body site will redirect viewers to Ellie.com and current pv.body subscriptions will begin receiving theEllie clothing line in their packages.

What the hay!

I’m not saying Ellie won’t be amazing … but I can’t say it will either if I’ve never seen it or tried it out.

The only thing good about it is that we get to pick our two pieces. And the blog and their PV.Body 30 Day Challenge is pretty awesome.

But then again, that’s not why we signed up. We signed up to get brand name workout gear.

And on top of that, in Sarah’s post, Hope from PV.Body stated that it will have fabric like Lululemon. From what I know, that fabric is copyrighted. And Lululemon has NEVER heard of PV.Body. So them using Lululemon’s name to get customers and reselling their things is illegal.

It’s such a disappointment. They could of had something amazing if they just stuck with what they were selling. If they waited to launch Ellie, it would be a different story. But to change everything in less than a month of getting so many people to sign up just feels like a scam.

Hopefully they fix all of their problems pronto because they are losing so many customers and getting many bad reviews.
