Operation Get Skinny: The Fresh Diet

Aiden Turns One!!

Now that my son is one I can no longer call it baby fat, it's just fat baby! In comes The Fresh Diet. It's a daily meal delivery program that I am really excited to start. I would like to do it for 3 months but I'll just start with one month for now and see how it goes. I will be posting my journey here daily and by my 35th birthday in August I plan to be at my goal weight. 35 is one of those milestone years and I'd love to be able to say "I'm in the best shape of life" on that day. This is a journey I have started and failed many times but this time something feels different. We will see...

My goal is to lose 50lbs. Half of that is baby weight and the other half is weight I should've lost before the baby!

Forgotten Files

I took these pictures last year and never got around to posting them. Once I got pregnant all of my plans just went out the window. I have on the first pair of Christian Louboutin shoes I ever bought which I wore to my rehearsal dinner in 2008! They are uncomfortable as heck with that skinny heel and I rarely even wear them, but I'm a sucker for a hot shoe (and it was on sale, duh.) The leather jacket is from BCBG and that was the last time I wore it because I can't fit it anymore. I still love you though jacket! My lip tattoo is from Violent Lips, I have a bunch of those because I think they are so cool and unique. That swan came out of nowhere, I was actually a little scared but it made for a cute pic.

I had a Baby

I disappeared for a while but there was a really good reason... I had a baby! Here is Baby Aiden, born 1/12/14, 7 lbs 13 oz.

Now I'm working on getting my life back in order and that includes blogging.

Birchbox April 2013

The April Birchbox was all about change. Women's Health magazine put together their favorite products for this box. It's about making those small changes for big results. 

The most impressive part of the box was the free subscription to the magazine. That covered the price of the box alone so I was happy with that.

Bath Soap from Lafco, not too excited about soap...

Extra sample from birchbox was an eye roll-on to revitalize and reduce eye puffiness

Face serum from Joanna Vargas that has vitamin A, E and C plus hyaluronic acid.

Mirenesse Glossy Kiss Lipstick, this is being launched exclusively in the birchbox shop (which explains why I've never heard of it?) It looks like a Clinique chubby stick and its a pretty color.

Another Shampoo sample (Kerastase Age Premium Bain Substanif). Again since I normally get my hair done professionally I don't really use these but I do like the Kerastase line and won't mine trying it.

Makeup Class with Merrell Hollis (Wendy Williams Makeup Artist)

Last Saturday I was lucky enough to take a makeup class with Merrell Hollis. He is a celebrity makeup artist and he has been Wendy Williams makeup artist for years. He has started a series of makeup courses and the one I attended was Eye Play. It was great! I learned so many new tips and tricks and found out that he was not only talented but a very nice and humble person. I was not disappointed one bit!

Pictured in People StyleWatch May 2013

My picture was chosen to be in the "You Got It Right" section of People StyleWatch Magazine (May 2013 issue) I was beyond excited when I found out my submission was one of the four picked for their summer trends!! Here is the picture from the article and the original photos!

Flowers and Flowers

The trees around my neighborhood have been blooming and they are so pretty, so here I am with my floral pants to match all these amazing blooms.
