Just one shoulder

One of the hot trends right now are the one shoulder dresses like these:

It looks so Grecian and amazingly hot. Plus it doesn't matter if you're 20-years-old or 40-years-old. It looks great on women of all different ages.

And now there are even swimsuits with this style. Sexy! And just in time for summer!

Prix-fixe it up!

Thank you so much for everyone's wonderful suggestions on my last post. You guys are the best! Some of you suggested that I try Zumba, pilates, various other activities, get a workout buddy, or try motivational music. I will definitely look into these because they are great ideas. Kristin suggested that I try 30 Day Shred. I actually heard of this before and heard that it worked well, but I never got around to trying it. I finally just ordered it from Amazon, and it will be here soon. Just 30 minutes a day doesn't seem that bad right??? I can do that!

On another note, I just love fancy restaurants that have prix-fixe (pronounced like "prefix") menus. If you don't know what it is, it's "a collection of pre-determined items presented as a multi course meal at a set price". A lot of the places that I've seen are set at around $25 for a 3 course meal, but of course the prices vary depending on the restaurant. They also usually give you a few different food options to choose from. You can get good food for decent prices. It's even better when they're like four or five star restaurants because you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars but still get your money's worth!

An example appetizer (eggplant and tomato):


An example entree (pan-seared halibut and greens):


An example dessert (crème brulée with fresh fruit):


Sometimes restaurants have prix-fixe menus weekly, sometimes they dedicate a whole week or even a month to it. It really depends on the restaurant and what they offer.

You could possibly go to chic restaurants like these for less than what they normally charge:


The only catch is that usually drinks are not included, so if you get a lot of drinks, your bill can add up...

But find out if your dream fine dining restaurant has a prix-fixe menu and enjoy a fancy night out without leaving a huge dent in your wallet!

Don't you just love how I follow up a work-out post with a "stuff your face and eat" post? =P

Workouts for the lazy...

So no matter how much I tell myself I will workout everyday, it never works! I'm either too lazy or too tired to get off my butt to workout.

I have tried all sorts of things unsuccessfully:

• I bought a gym membership which didn't work because I never went
• I bought a cute workout outfit to motivate me, but the tags are still on them
• I bought the Wii Fit which I only used 2 or 3 times and is now collecting dust
• I bought a couple Pilates videos to do at home, but those too are collecting dust
• I joined a running club that meets once a week, but I only went a few times and stopped
• I've tried to do lunges, squats, and crunches at home but that lasted a week, and I stopped
  

I will always start a new workout regimen and only do it for a little bit and then stop. It's become a vicious pattern.

I'm by no means overweight at all (I'm petite and slim), but I don't feel healthy because walking up flights of stairs leaves me out of breathe (sad, I know!). I really need to get back into shape. I feel weak now and want to tone up my body. I used to work out all the time in high school. I was even on the track and cross country team, but now I've become such a lazy sac. Granted high school was years ago, but I still should be taking better care of my body and health.

I wish I could have a body like these hotties:


But then I would need to workout like crazy and maybe get a boob job, haha. To all of you supermodels, way to make the rest of us ladies look bad!! =P I also wanted to get a personal trainer, but that costs more money. And why are gym memberships so expensive these days???

I really need to get my act together and start working out this summer when I have more time. Sigh, too bad it's easier said than done!

Candles + Flowers = Gorgeousness

Candles and flowers, what great creations. Pair them together, and I'm in heaven. I want lots of candles and flowers at my wedding. They just look so gorgeous together.....

Floating candles (sigh), so beautiful and dreamy.....

Just for some laughs...

I watched Up this weekend. It was so adorably cute. I loved it!!! I even cried a little (yes, I am the biggest sap). I just love Pixar movies. They are so clever and cute.

On another note, I just needed to post this video because it's hilarious and explains the difference between girls and guys. I'm sure some of you have seen this before, but watch and enjoy! (Sorry, for some reason I couldn't find it in English, but you don't really need to understand what they are saying).....



I would love to have a closet like that, the girl's closet that is! ;)
