Summer Swap!

So, I am incredibly late posting this, but I loved my Summer Swap package! Mom x 2 sent me the best summer goodies.

S - Soaps to keep you smelling good all summer long

U - Use this headband with your cute new haircut!

M - A mirror for reapplying lop gloss (or sunscreen) while out and about!

M - Mail a long-lost friend a note with these monogrammed notecards!

E - Entertain your friends with some fun summer cocktails!

R - Relax in the sun with a glass of iced tea!

She did a great job. Everything was wrapped in my favorite colors (navy, green and white) and we even gave each other some of the same things. Running Just As Fast As I Can, thanks so much for hosting the swap. It was a blast!

Half and Half

Over the past couple weeks the half and half pictures have been all over the place. First came the Barack / Hilary Time Magazine cover. Then, the NBA Finals.

So, here are a couple of my own that I made.

Mambo Taxi

Too many of these things and you better be in the back of a taxi!

Tonight, we are going to Mi Cocina to celebrate my birthday! Technically it is not until Saturday, but I will take all of the birthday celebrations I can get.

Plus, Saturday we are going to be cruising to Cozumel and beyond! I could not think of a better way to spend my birthday. This will be my first cruise.... any advice or things I should know?

A Mambo Taxi: The restaurant's signature drink, Mambo Taxi, mixes frozen margarita with a sprightly dash of sangría. It's the best cool-down drink in town.

Butt's and Bikini's

After days and days of searching, I finally hit the jackpot. Or so I thought. First off, an extremely kind blog friend had found the bikini bottoms that I had been searching for! (Also, how thoughtful of everyone to check their Targets for me.) Then, I was at Target just now during lunch and I found the bottoms I have been searching for. I tried them on…. and well, let’s just say that if I was into crack, these would be just for me.

Now here is my rant. I have an almost nonexistent butt. No hips, no butt. Yet, the XL was too small. That’s right – too small! I don’t have a big butt…. (and I would admit if it did) Since when does an XL equate to crackage on a flat butt? What do people do that actually have extra large behinds? I guess they don’t get their swimsuits at Target.

Bikini Bottoms

Help!! I should have bought this swimsuit when it first came out, but I passed it by because the top was too small. (triangle top.. ugh!) So, this is a plead to all my blog friends.... If your local Target has this bottom in an XL, I will pay you to pick it up for me!

Lookin' good for 100!

Happy 100th post to me!

Vineyard Vines

Check out what I just for $5! That is a savings of $120. Crazy.

After many, many unsuccessful trips to TJ Maxx and Marshalls, I was finally successful.

Tupperware

I received a set of Tupperware FridgeSmart containers as a wedding gift and they are the best things ever! I love fresh produce, especially in the summer, and these keep your fruits and veggies fresh for such a long time. I am generally skeptical when I hear those claims, but these work. There are the vents on the end, and depending on what you are storing, you either close one or both or open one or both. Plus, there is a chart on the side of each container, as a reminder. I need to order more.
