There were big changes last year for our family. We moved to a new post from Hawaii to Washington. Between that transition we took a little mini vacay to Tx to visit family. Once we got to WA hubby got orders to deploy to Afghanistan during his deployment I shed 40lbs yay!!! Hubby got here right in the Middle of Sept & it was just me & him getting situated, going out to eat, etc basically all my healthy eating & working out went out the window. 1st there was the Las Vegas trip we took for out birthdays, then lots of Halloween candies, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, & now. We got to comfy with each other so here I am 27lbs heavier!! Now I didnt do any of that "New Year, New ME" resolution, I just decided to do it. I wasnt sure where to start so I went back to something I know & its called The Pink Method. The reason is that I dont have to buy supplements, shakes, etc. I wanted to "detox" with food & not juicing or doing anything like The Lemonade Diet. Since my book & Dvds were still packed away it took me a couple of days to find them, & as soon as I did I hit my pantry which was almost empty & my fridge which was also empty, so instead of starting on "Monday" I decided to do it that day, I made my list & hit the grocery store. I'm also changing my kids & hubbys eating habits they are all on board but of course they are not doing Pink. I'm tired of feeling crappy & tired & cant wait to lose what I have gained.

I have a thing for body care... along with many other addictions but this one caught my eye as I've been really into things with Oil in them. Laura over at mynewestaddiction recently blogged about a body lotion that is infused with Moroccan Oil. During these winter months my skin has been so dry with the cold weather & hot heaters inside, I cannot wait to pick this up next time I'm at the store. Go check her blog out for more info & she is also having an awesome contest as well, this post is my entry to the contest.

Lunch at the Saldivars on a Monday

After a busy week & weekend I decided to make a quick simple no fuss lunch for the kiddos. I made Grilled Cheese Sandwiches & banana. In between lunch they already had snacked on some Goldfish Crackers & pudding. Here is my 20month olds plate, I had to cut his Grilled Cheese into fourths. For my 3yr old I just cut his in half & my 11yr old I left his whole.

These were all the ingredients for lunch lol (pretty simple)

This is what my 20month olds plate looked like

This is my 3yr olds

This was my 11yr olds plate Right after lunch the younger ones were ready for a nap & my oldest was ready to go outside & run around! Happy Monday xoxox

Face Of The Day

I've really been liking the Urban Decay Skin Foundation. It blends so well into my skin. My color is 6.0. I used the Tarte Foundation Brush to buff the foundation into my skin. As a primer I just reached for my Smashbox original Primer, I used Lemon-aid from Benefit for my under eye circles, & Benefit PowderFlage over that, I set everything with a MAC MSF in Medium, as for bronzer I used Tarte's Park Princess & for blush my all time fav blush... Dior Self Adjusting Blush, eyes I used the bottom row of Too Faced Romantic Eye Pallet, & I used another of my fav mascaras... Lancome Doll Lash in Black, I lined my Eyes with Bare Minerals Brightening eyeliner. As for lip I lined with a Dark Peach/Brown liner from Macs holiday Collection & used YSL #7. I put my makeup on kinda late, at 5pm.

Happy Holidays to everyone!!! We went to a Christmas Party at my brothers house last night. It was a "Pot-Luck" type of party, so everyone just brought in their favorite dish. There were sooo many yummy types of dishes and desserts. We all had an amazing time having fellowship with everyone there at the party. All the kids got stockings full of yummy chocolates and other candy. I saw many old friends that I hadn't seen since last year when I came to visit. I hope everyone has a good Holiday, spending time with good friends & family.

There were so many yummy desserts to choose from, I had to have flan, & I also choose some chocolate covered strawberries, & put on my plate these chocolate little balls, they were filled with some kind of chocolate cream cheese, I love cream cheese but I didnt like the chocolate cream cheese. My son liked them alot so he was more than happy to take them off my plate.

One of the best tasting cupcakes ever, the whip cream frosting so sooo yummy!

Best Cake Ever

Its been a while since I've been on here. Today we celebrated my youngest sons birthday. It was a small get together with just family. He's into Yo Gabba Gabba so my wonderful sister in law baked him the BEST birthday cake ever. We all ate and enjoyed fried zuchinis, mozzerella sticks, some buffalo wings and of course pizza! The kids as well as the adults played arcade games, & had lots of fun. This past year literally flew by for me. I guess it means that I'm really enjoying life. I just hope that life slows down a bit because I want to enjoy every second a little more.

So many changes

Wow so many changes, well 1st of all had another baby, today he is 1 month old & keeps me awake @night, but its ok hes so cute & cuddly that I looove him sooo much. So as the new year starts, I have a new baby, & I also moves there's been major changes in my life. I'm going to start these new workout vids called Brazil Butt Lift, we'll see how that goes, I'm giving 100% effort & commitment to the workout & eating plan. As far as my clear skin routine well when I got pregnant it did clear up again, & it's been clear since he's been born, so that's good news yay! I'm here waiting for my hubby to spend some time together but uh he's a little busy right now.
