Before I get to my 2013 New Year Resolutions, here’s a recap of my 2012 Resolutions.

I think I did a pretty splendid job with keeping up with my resolutions … minus the weight thing so you KNOW it’s going to be on this upcoming year’s list.

My 2013 New Year Resolutions

Lose 25+ lbs or at least some weight.
Live healthier. Eating …. working out. Yah know. Same old same old.
PR on my 5k even if it is just one minute.
Be a better blogger by not slacking off as much and reaching out more.
Dress better because I look like a grandma when I’m at work.
Hello over humongous pores! I need to better my skin routine.
As much as I love being one of the guys I love being a girl. I just have to be less lazy and just be more like a girl.

Doable? Fingers crossed.

I know most of these has to do with looks in a way, but for me to be more comfortable in my skin, I need to have better skin.

What are your resolutions?

Happy New Year’s Eve, loves!

New Year, New Memories.

Christmas Haul

December 28, 2012 by Mellie Dee 8 Comments

Last week we received something from Hong Kong. It was very exciting.

Gifts from the coworkers. I also got a Christmas Card from one of my coworkers. Her family is so cutes.

I went and sent a few cards for some friends because I LOVE snail mail. Nothing special. Just wanted to let them know I was thinking of them. I wanted to send more out but didn’t have addresses or time.

And now the presents from the fams! I’m not boasting or anything. Just wanted to keep a memory of the things I got this year!

Mum:

Popcorn kernels for my popcorn machine!! Yippee!! My brother’s been bugging me to make some for him but I haven’t. Whoops.

She also gave me an Estee Lauder makeup/clutch thing with some makeup samples inside that goes with Pleasure.

Dad:

My dad does this game where we choose numbers which indicates a different envelopes that has different amounts of money inside. I won the jackpot this year! Yippee!! I use to win the $5 or $10! 🙂

June:

I got an art set! I am TOO excited. I haven’t opened up because everything is so perfect right now. Do you get that way? Ah … cannot wait. Hopefully I make some smoking a** things!

Sissy & Brett:

My favorite … a You Curl Iron! I never knew how to curl my hair. Partly because I don’t want to damage my hair or burn myself but this seriously makes everything so easy! I think everyone should get one because it’s just so simple and fast and makes some bomb diggity curls! That’s my first time curling. Love it or hate it?

I’ve been practicing every day … aka killing my hair.

Pumpkin Butter & Cookie Butter. It’s so perfect I haven’t even opened it yet. I haven’t tried them before but she knew I wanted to. I was beyond excited when I tore opened my package. What shall I eat with these lovelies?

Brother:

He gave me his computer monitor during Thanksgiving and that is part of my Christmas and birthday present. Hence no pictures in case y’all were wondering. 🙂

Tammy:

Candles for my stanky room! The vanilla cupcake smells like heaven. I’m hurrying up with my old candle so I can pop one of these open! Eeep!

Jenny:

A 2013 calendar. I already have a planner so I’m debating what to do with this one. Any ideas? I really do love it but I’m not sure what to do with it.

She also got me a egg maker thingie that makes eggs in a shape of a heart. I think I can use it with pancake batter too. Hmm … 😉

Alyssa & Greg:

So I just got this a yesterday but I love it. Anything that comes through snail mail wins my heart. That might answer the reason why I do online shopping so much. Anyway, it’s great hearing from her and I really do miss her. I cannot wait till she and her husband (ah we’re too grown up!) are back in Houston!

The weekend is here and work couldn’t have gone any slower these past few days.

I got the 31st off but I’m debating if I should go in or not … leaning towards not but who knows what’ll happen.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

PV.Body Takes Over The Blogosphere By Storm

December 27, 2012 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

I’m actually using WordPress to write this post. Ah … haven’t done that since I first blogged! Sorry if the pictures are alkjer! I don’t know how to fix it through this.

Anyway, we’re here to talk about some fitness clothing. I will do my Christmas weekend in the next post or something.

I’m not going to lie … I’m cheap. I work out in my tees and basketball shorts and every time I see some cool fitness clothing when I’m shopping, I sadly put it down. I don’t have the dough for that kind of stuff.

In “walks” in PV.Body. (Click on the link to check it out!) I’m sure everyone’s heard of them by now. They’re taking over the blogosphere! So what exactly is PV.Body?

$50 if you don’t use my code!!

PV.Body contacted me to become an ambassador and I jumped at the chance. I’ve never been an ambassador so I feel pretty cool. I did get a free package just so I can see what it’s all about. Also so that I’m not just writing gibberish. These are my opinions though sooo keep that in mind.

PV.Body sent me my clothes in just a few weeks! Let’s keep in mind it’s Christmas month aka busy mail month. So to me, it was fast. They put it in a sparkly pink bag and wrapped each clothing in pink tissue paper. They are careful with their product!

I got a NUX Infinity Adjustable T-Back in Plumeria and an American Apparel Performance Sportswear in Black.

The top alone is $45 … I’m not sure how much the bottoms cost but it is from American Apparel …

How did it feel on? Amazing. Everything felt smooth and for once I felt like a runner. You can choose what type of activity you do and where and they customize to that.

I would show you it on my body .. but my body isn’t that great so I don’t want anyone to throw up. 😉

The only thing I didn’t like about it was that I couldn’t get a size larger for my chest area so that everything fit. It fits but not loose enough where I felt comfortable to step outside in. Big chested girls and all. They only have Small, Medium, and Large. Keep that in mind my friends.

Jump on this PV.Body train. All the cool kids are doing it!

Make sure to click my link to get it for $39! Else, you’ll have to pay the $50 fee. Eeep.

Also you don’t have to stay on it. Try it the first month and if you don’t like it, you can cancel it!

Hope you’re all having a great break! 🙂

Family & Friends

December 22, 2012 by Mellie Dee 6 Comments

Today has been eventful. I went to work for 5 1/2 hours. And surprisingly got A LOT of work done. Yay!!

Then had a late lunch with Amanda. I haven’t seen her in SO long so it was great doing so. And catching up with her? Ahh-mazing. She’s given me some good advice which I should take but still so many worries of what if if I do and what if if I don’t. Dumb I know.

Then I went and bought a new laptop. Well actually “netbook” which is where I’m currently writing from. It’s in quotes because it might as well be a laptop. It has touch screen and Windows 8 and so far … I don’t like the Windows 8 start menu. It makes everything much more complicated. I understand they’re trying to keep up with the times but I think it’d be better if they kept this stuff on the tablet and ONLY on the tablet. But OH WELL. I shall get use to it and learn to love it. I think it’ll just take time. Other than that, I love what I have.

Went to Sissy and hung out with her and Brett along with their roommate, Ross. We played video games, ate, watched telly, and just hung out. It was very chilled and it felt pretty good getting out of the house.

I then went over to Jared’s since I had some questions I wanted to ask him. Then he showed me some of his music he’s been working on. Ahhh … I wish I had the time and patience to do that. It sounds so freaking awesome.

It’s been a good day filled with family and friends. I cannot wait for tomorrow (Saturday). We’re celebrating Christmas then since Sissy and Brett are on call or at work. Eeps. Sadly I’ve wrapped ZERO presents. Christmas just doesn’t feel so Christmasy this year. Hmm …

Happy Holidays! In case we don’t get to talk! 🙂

New Things To Look Forward To

December 20, 2012 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

I’m a little overwhelmed with all the posts people are making these past few days! I guess because some people are on vacation while others are done with school. It’s pretty much filled to the brim and I’ve only been able to catch some of them. I cannot wait to read it all tomorrow.

So there has been some exciting things that’s been happening these past few days:

I finally booked my flight to New Orleans in January for my first ever business trip. BossMan booked our hotels. I booked a one night hotel that isn’t part of the business trip (going a day and a half early!) so that I can make it into a somewhat vacation since I decided not to take any days off from Christmas or New Years. Making paper, dude!
I am getting my documents/contracts to sign for my new contractor company. I found out British Man has a girlfriend. But ah I love his accent so much. Wish I had a British accent. They’re so cool.
I’ve been wanting a new laptop. Maybe more like a netbook since it’s a hassle carrying around this one. I think I’ve found the one I want … I will be checking it out tomorrow. Can’t wait! Eeps!

That’s pretty much it.

I hope you all have a great Friday! I am ready!
