Before Picture





My workout buddies have challenged me to a 30 day workout competition for the month of June. The plan is to go by measurements instead of weight as we all know that fat weighs more than muscle. My plan is to add more lifting, add a few runs in during the week. I will still eat the food, no plans to go hungry. Winner has the other two take them to dinner but most of all gets bragging rights. All 3 of us will come out ahead with the knowledge of how awesome our bodies really are.

Baiden Mitten Review Update 3

First Review

Second Review


I've been using the Baiden Mitten on an almost weekly basis for 4 months now. I've noticed another dramatic improvement in the last few weeks. My acne breakouts are less often, seem to be exclusively hormone related and heal up quicker. The skin on my face feels good to touch all month long, it feels smooth and holds moisture even before I put product on it. I had my first photo shoot just over a week ago. Both the photographer and the make up artist commented on how nice my skin was. That has NEVER happened in my entire life! The make up artist said it almost had too much moisture.

I find that I can skip the bath and use a hot shower if I exercise first. A good run on a Saturday morning usually does the trick. I've been wearing dresses to work during the week so having nice smooth legs from the Baiden Mitten is a bonus. Still not sure about cellulite, I have it on my butt and thighs, not sure that I've seen a big change in that area yet. My tattoos look great, they never get that ashy dull look from the dead skin layer. I hope to have updated pictures from the photo shoot to share in the next week or so.

More Dresses!


This past weekend I went through my closet (again). For the first time ever I put non horse show related clothes in a garment bag. It turns out my closet is now full of two types of dresses; every day wear to the office dresses and special occasion pin up dresses. Up until recently I only had 3 dresses in my closet, one of them being the wedding dress that I wore one time almost 17 years ago! Here is a peek at what is in my closet:


My first pin up dress! I picked this up off Ebay from a seller named my50svintagedresses . This dress is just fun to wear and looks even better in person. I have since purchased two more dresses from the same seller.
 


 This is my first purchase from ModCloth, still trying to figure out the right bra to wear with it, I have a strapless but it is cut really low in the back! I bought it for a photoshoot but changed my mind at the last minute. I have yet to actually wear this dress outside of the house.


 Noir Rose Garden Dress - Long, Black, Red, Green, Floral, Trim, Party, Casual, Rockabilly, Pinup, A-line, Halter, Cocktail, Holiday Party, Cotton, V Neck 


Another dress from my favorite new Ebay seller:




OMG the Joan from Mad Men Dress! Picked this up from the same Ebay seller, her dresses are such a good deal that it made sense to buy 2. I LOVE this dress but am not yet brave enough to wear it. While it is the right size I don't exactly have the figure for a wiggle dress. I have to find out what super undergarments I need to go under this, but I will wear it out in public some day for sure! 



This is the dress I used for the photoshoot from pinupdresses.com I was worried at first that it was tool long but with a petticoat underneath the length was perfect. Really looking forward to the pictures!

And finally the dress I really wanted the entire time. I love Pin Up Girl Clothing but every time I fall in love with one of their dresses it is out of stock. The color on this dress is outstanding, green is my favorite color and mint is a shade I don't yet have. The day after the photo shoot they emailed me to tell me it was back in stock. They shipped it yesterday!

Dresses






I have worn more dresses in the last 3 weeks than I have in the last 5 years! Yesterday I wore jeans and it just felt odd, almost like I was under dressed. I went to Ross a few weeks ago looking for sweaters to pull over some of my sleeveless shirts. I founds the sweaters along with a pile of dresses. I took 6 of them into the dressing room and thought for sure only 2 would fit. All 6 of them did! They were priced between $11.99 and $20 so all 6 came home with me! The one in the picture is a size 6!!





Is is possible to pose for a gun shot without making that face? I don't think so!
