Yesterday I went to the spa, and I treated myself to a fun summer color: Hologram by China Glaze. I love their colors. Here's the China Glaze website.

What's your spring/summer nail polish color?

I haven't done the blog challenge in awhile, so here it is. I think we were on Day 15.

Blog Challenge Day 15: Something you don't leave the house without.


I am definitely one of those people who is glued to a cell phone. I have a blackberry, but I REALLY want the Droid 2.

I love how it has the touch screen, plus the full keyboard.

What do you always have with you when you leave the house?

Easy Star Weekend

This weekend has been a blast.

We kicked off Friday night by going to the Easy Star All Star Concert. Here's a song for your listening pleasure:




They put on an amazing show. Lots of energy and incredible talent.


After the show, I talked to the band members. They gave me a wrist band and signed my record :-)

Saturday, I went to Mackenzie Childs with my mom and grandmother. Their pottery just makes me happy.



The whole estate is really beautiful. We didn't have time to do the tour... next time....

Stretch and Strengthen Days

Usually, I hate "light" days or "strengthening" days on a workout plan. It's so boring, I usually skip it all together. But I recently discovered that Netflix has workout videos, and now strength training is a little better.



Yesterday I walked 1.5 miles and then did a yoga/pilates DVD. It was a pretty good workout!

What do you do on your light workout days?
