Hump Day Confessions

{one}

I confess that I'm trying to read more.

 Every spare minute I have, I have been reading.

I'm currently reading Dragonfly in Amber,

 the second book in the Outlander Series.

Happy to report that I'm almost half-way through, 

 reading here and there totally 

adds up. Thanks for the inspiration,Kerry.

{two}

I confess that I wear my jeans a few times 

(Ok, maybe more than a few times)

before I wash them. 

Nothing worse than stiff jeans.

{three}

I confess that I hate when people act like 

they are entitled to things in life.

You are not promised anything 

in this world. If you want 

something, you have to earn it. 

{four}

I confess that I have been single for sometime now.

It's so hard to meet a nice guy.

It makes me sad but it is what it is.

{five}

I confess that I can't cook, like at all.

It's really bad. Most nights, my sister cooks me dinner.

She is my roommate and likes to cook so, why not??

I do clean up, that counts for something, right??

Weekending & A Giveaway

Linking up with B Loved Boston& Champagne and Suburbs for Weekending.

Happy Monday!!! 

Can you believe this is the last week of April??

Where has time gone?? 

I'm not complaining because it was a long winter and 

I'm really looking forward to the nice days that lay ahead.

Today, I'm sharing the picture from Disney's Cinderella The Exhibition which we saw

while we were in London. The exhibit included costumes and props from the Disney movie, which had yet to come out in the UK. It had over 100 props and  costumes from the film.

It even had the carriage Cinderella takes to the ball and of course, 

the glass slipper which was made by Swarovski.

These pictures do not do this exhibit justice. It was simply amazing.

Oh and the costumes, so fantastic. 

As a lifelong Cinderella fan, I was in heaven. They even had professional photographers take your picture next to the carriage. Of course, I had to do that and yes, you had to pay for that picture which I happily did. JenniSixx wanted no part of that.

Hence, why she isn't in the picture.

At the end of the exhibit you could even take a picture wearing the glass slipper which I

declined because my toes were not polished. haha #girlproblems.

Now, I just need to see the movie.

I heard it's fab. Just haven't had the time to see it.

GIVEAWAY TIME!!!

FRIDAY'S FAVORITES

Song

See You Again by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth

This song is from the movie, The Fast & The Furious 7.

I haven't been touched by a song in awhile but this one really 

touched me. Just listen to the lyrics,

they are simply beautiful.

 It's a loving tribute to the late actor, Paul Walker.

Product

Old Navy Plaid Shirt

I saw this shirt at Old Navy and knew I had it have it.

Not only did I love color, I loved how lightweight it was.

Perfect under a little sweater for spring or on it's on 

for the summer. It looks so nice with jeans or navy pants.

Old Navy

Food

Friendly's Frozen Yogurt

Caramel Sea Salt Truffle

This frozen yogurt is so good!!

It's salted caramel frozen yogurt with 

sea salted filled chocolate candies.

One serving is 130 calories and enough to

fill my sweet tooth. Oh so yummie.

Friendly's 

TV

It's official!!

 Full House is coming back to TV!! 

It will be called Fuller House and will be on Netflix.

I loved this show back in the day!!

I'm so excited!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday and Hump Day Confessions

Linking up with Melissa, Jodi, & Rachel.

 

What I'm Loving Wednesday and 

Hump Day Confessions

{one}

I confess that I'm still watching way too much television.

I'm currently watching Empire. It is so GOOD!!

Cookie Lyon is the best and that wardrobe of hers!

Amazing!! 

{two}

I'm loving my new glasses. 

It was not easy to find a new pair.

After many many visits to various eyeglass stores, I finally found a pair.

I wore my last pair for years as I kept changing the lens and was 

really sad when that was no longer an option.

As I wear glasses EVERYDAY, I wanted a pair that I 

really really liked. I sort of was like whatever when I got them 

but now I love them.

*this picture is from London when I found the Massachusetts State Flag

 at the United States Embassy. Hence, the excited look.*

{three}

I confess that I do not like my teeth which is why I rarely show them

 in pictures. Funny enough,I do get many compliments

 on how nice my teeth are. I completely disagree.

{four}

I'm loving that spring has finally showed up.

It's about time. Although, now if places could 

just turn off their heat. Talking to you, office.

I would be really really happy. 

{five}

I confess that I already broke my shopping ban.

Thank you Lilly for Target!!!

Come on, it only happens once, right.

That is how I justified it.

What are you loving this week or what is your confession??

Let me know, I love hearing from you!!

Best, Marie

Today is the Boston Marathon.

Two years ago, Boston was forever changed.

Four people lost their lives.  
Others lives were completely changed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, 
the victims families and all the survivors. 

In Loving Memory of

Richard Martin

In our hearts forever,

 Rest in Peace.

Thank God It's Friday.

Let's get right into it, here are my 

favorites this week.

FRIDAY'S FAVORITES

Song

Wind Beneath My Wings 

by Bette Milder

This is an old song but such a classic.

As of late, I have found myself in an reflective mood

 and as a result  have been

listening to this song over and over again.

It's such a beautiful song.

PINK Toms

Two summers ago, I got a pair of pink toms and wore them every day.

I was utterly heartbroken when they wore out. They no longer 

make pink ones for women. However, they do make them for 

little girl's. So, I got myself a little girl's pair! 

A woman's size 7 is a youth size 5.

Cannot wait to start wearing them.

Neiman Marcus

Drink

Cold-Brew Iced Coffee at Starbucks

Have you tried the new cold-brew iced coffee at Starbucks yet? 

If you are a iced coffee drinker, you will LOVE this.

It's a smoother and less bitter coffee.

In a word, it's simply delicious.

Normally, I do not care for Starbucks' Iced Coffee as

 I find it to be very bitter.

However, I LOVE this. In fact, I liked it so 

much that I went twice this week to get some.

It is that good. 

Starbucks

Shopping

Lilly Pulitzer at Target

Sunday, April 19th

I am so excited for this!!!

Since I expect their website to be a disaster, I'm heading to 

my local Target right when they open to get my hands on this collection.

 Yes, I will be outside Target Sunday morning, waiting for them to open!!

CANNOT WAIT!!!

QUOTE

This quote pretty much sums up how I have been feeling lately.

Pinterest

That wraps up my Friday's Favorites.

Normally, I would be excited that the weekend is here.

However, I have to work all weekend.

The only good thing is I'm off Monday

as it is Patriot's Day and also the Boston Marathon.

It's hard to put into words my thoughts on the Marathon.

Two years ago, Boston was rocked to it's core

and that somber feeling is still there.

 I don't think it will ever leave.
