Looking forward…
On the 14th of February my blog became two years old. It has been a fun ride. But while I have always blogged about everything that I enjoy, there has never been a real structure to my blog. I always thought that the day I put too many rules on myself is the day that this starts to feel like “work” and not something I do for fun.
I decided not to post anything over the weekend. I wanted to spend a little bit of time reading my posts from the past two years and do some thinking about what to do about this little space. While a lot of things have stayed the same, there are some things that have fallen off the map. Not on purpose, it just happened. So I started to think that a little bit of structure here would be a good thing. It would keep me on task; things would not fall of the grid, it would make things a little bit more cohesive and not be all over the place.
So I am going to make some changes, which I will share with you as I execute them on my end. But in the mean time I want to hear from you guys. While I primarily ramble about the things I enjoy/like (of course that will not change), I do not want to bore you guys to death. I would like to get some feedback from you guys. What would you like to see here? What do you want me to blog more about? What would you like me to not blog about? Or are you fine with my ramblings?
Good or bad, bring it on. I would love to know what you think. Just remember to be respectful about it (not that I have to worry about that with you guys. But I still need to say it.).
I am also working on my second giveaway. I will have a post about it this week. So look out for it.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner*
Remember the package I showed you here?
Look at what was inside:
These very pretty earrings are my winnings from Meandering Mel's blog anniversary giveaway.
My sixth sense must have known when they were arriving, because the day they arrived I had ran out of the apartment without earrings. When I got the package and looked inside, I saw that the second pair above went very well with what I was wearing. That instantly solved my no earring problem (I was getting really tired of touching my ears because I was self conscious that I did not have earrings on).
You need to go check out her jewelry creations. She makes these awesome Tree of Life Pendants, that I have been eyeing for a while and I am sure you all will love too.
Thanks for the earrings Mel!
Ciao! xoxo

Weight Watchers, Giveaways, and other Ramblings
Happy Monday!
We finally woke up this morning to sun shine after a weekend of rain and cloudy skies. We were supposed to head to Rennfest again this weekend and celebrate my friends wedding anniversary there. But the rain kept us indoors. So we ended up being couch potatoes on Saturday and on Sunday we spent our day cleaning.
On Saturday morning I went to Weight Watchers to weigh in and I lost one pound. I am only 2 pounds away from reaching my goal for the month of October and loosing 5% of my weight.
One of the many things I love about Fall and even Winter is the comfort foods. From Stews, to baked goods and everything else in between it is a foodies paradise. But with my obsession of becoming healthier and loosing weight, I have been looking to healthier options to satisfy the foodie in me. Which led me to purchasing Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook. From past experience using WW cookbooks, their recipes are great.
Speaking of recipes, at the WW meeting one of the group members shared a recipe with the rest of us. It is a 2 point per serving Pumpkin Mousse.
Pumpkin Mousse:
1 15oz Can Pumpkin
1 8oz Tub "Free" Cool Whip
1 1oz Sugar free/Fat free Butterscotch Pudding
1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp/ Ground Ginger
1/8 tsp. Ground Cloves
Mix dry ingredients first. Then whip all ingredients together. Divide into dessert cups and chill at least 1 hour.
Optional: Top with Honey Bunches of Oats or Fat Free Reddi Whip.
Makes 6 servings at 2 points each serving.
I have not tried this yet. We went to the grocery store last night and they did not have any pumpkin on hand. But I will hopefully be making this next weekend. That is if they have any pumpkin in stock.
I did not get to post last night, all I was able to do was send a quick message to the winner of my giveaway. The winner of my first giveaway was Meandering Mel. I will be shipping out the package tomorrow, so look out for it in a few days.
As if this post is not long enough, the last thing I want to say is.......
If you have not seen Where The Wild Things Are. YOU NEED TO GO SEE IT!! Mr.P and I went to the IMAX theater near our place and saw it on Friday. It is such a cute and good movie.
How was your weekend?
Ciao!! xoxo

My 200+ Post and Giveaway
It all started 21 months ago with a rant. I did not know then what I was going to turn my blog into. I have so many interests, I was not sure if I wanted to talk about just one thing or talk about everything.
I knew that if I just kept it about one topic I would lose interest. There is only so much beauty/fashion you can talk about before you start to sound like every other beauty/fashion blog. Do not get me wrong, I love all those beauty/fashion blogs and it is safe to say I follow almost all of them. But I know me, I have different voices, the louder one being about shoes. So I ended up deciding I would blog about whatever came to mind.
I did not do the one year anniversary because quite frankly I think I only had one or two readers tops. Who was I going to celebrate with? I did not do a 100 post because eh, I did not feel like it. But this is my 223th post. It is a milestone of sorts for me. I have 25 followers that may or may not read my posts but thank you for being there.
I have insane amount of fun doing this and sharing with whoever may be reading what interests me and what is going on in my corner of the world. This is my diary, my baby and I hope to continue for a long time even if all I have is 25 readers.
Now with all that said, what would you like to see more of? or what would you not like to see? I love feedback, negative or positive, bring it on. Just do not be rude about it.
Lastly, I want to thank you all for following me during my rants, raves, and everything in between. It has been fun and I look forward to continuing on this adventure.
Now on to the fun stuff. I am doing my first giveaway and it is open to everyone. The rules are:
1) You have to be a follower of my blog
2) You must comment on this post with your email address
That is it!
The winner will get:
1) Body Nature: Shower Gel
2) Body Nature: Bath Soak
3) Body Nature: Body Souffle
4) China Glaze: Blue Sparrow
5) OPI Matte: You Don't Know Jacques
6) Black Box: Mystery Gift
The giveaway closes on Saturday, October 17th and I will announce the winner using one of those random number generators on Sunday, October 18th.
Ciao! xoxo

Nail of the Week: Swizzle Stix
Nail Polish Brand: Shades by Barielle
Color: Swizzle Stix (2 Coats)
Base: Orly Bonder
Top Coat: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
I know this color is more of a color for Spring. But I was really in the mood to wear a nice baby blue. I also wanted to try out one of the Konad plates that I have. For my first time using Konad I did not do too bad.
What do you think?
Ciao! xoxo
