Bar Star

A bit embassed, but quite honored ..

I LOVE The Bar Method 

 

 

Meet our Bar Star for January...Melissa. You have truly become a part of our Bar Method Family and you look amazing! Here is her story: " I have been an exercise enthusiast throughout my adult years as well as an athlete in my youth. I tried my first Bar Method class almost 6 months ago, and I have been hooked ever since, attending 4 to 6 classes per week. The Bar Method has been the best full body workout for me- toning, elongating and sculpting my entire body. The results have been amazing! The studio is a beautiful studio facility and the instructors are excellent!!! All are highly motivating, positive and helpful (friendly and super sweet too!). I thank you all and look forward to continuing on at The Bar Method!"

Metabolism Boosting Drink

 

Dr. Oz’s Tangerine Weight-Orade Recipe…It contains: green tea, shown to boost metabolism 12% by drinking just one cup; tangerine, with a chemical composition that increases sensitivity to insulin and stimulates genes that help to burn fat; and mint, a calorie-free flavor enhancer.

In a large pitcher, combine: 8 cups of brewed green tea / 1 tangerine, sliced / A handful of mint leaves / Stir this delicious concoction up at night so all the flavors fuse together. Drink 1 pitcher daily for maximum metabolism-boosting results.

 

Made this tonight and trying tomorrow!

Just catching up here.

We had a little FSU party for my Seminole family memebers (son #1, brother, SIL, neice, nephew & friends), and also my sister who was down from Illinois - a Notre Dame fan. All were going to the bowl game (FSU vs Notre Dame) the following day.

the girls .. and Bax & Murp

some of the guys

 

 

ETA ... a friend sent me this photo of me that was taken by mistake with her iphone ;)

To answer a few questions.. yes, the LV bag was a Christmas gift. The little cross bracelet (elastic) is from a new store here in WP, not sure of the make, but it was $12! The link bracelet is from Henri Bendel. My blouse is J Crew and cardigan, Tory Burch.

Pinsomnia ..

 

Ha ... SO TRUE!! I am obsessed with Pinterest!!

Oh Lilly ... New Year's Cheer Sale

 

Love when these on line sales come around, such fabulous prices ..

but this time I messed up while checking out.  During my ordering frenzy (items sell out quickly so it's a race!) something went wrong and I ended up with only 2 items total - one being a men's tie, so I didn't score well at all :(. Honestly, I can not even remember what all I wanted .. obviously, I did not need it that badly!

I was able to order from another via shop with great prices ..
