Loved It! French Noir Film...

The life of a cat may seem glamorous to some but in reality it's empty.  Watch and enjoy.  And enjoy your weekend!

Loved It: Powell's BookStore

 Powell's Books is the world's largest new and used book store in the world.  And it just happens to be in my very own home town.  I love to go there and just wander around.  It makes me happy! (and if you don't live close by, and you're on the hunt for a book that your local Barnes and Noble doesn't carry, check out Powell's website- they're bound to have it!)

Loved It: Refinery29

I'm technologically challenged. And to prove it to you I have quite the funny story. (actually it's not that funny. it's more like moderately chuckle-worthy) Anyhoolio- I entered a little contest at Refinery29 to be the "next big style blogger!". I am running against some pretty stylish ladies who've been blogging for much longer than me (i.e; I have no actual chance of winning) but I just thought it would be a good way for me to get my name out there! Well when I signed up I accidentally put my email address as my name, so it says I'm Heatherloveslaura. Which, if any of you know me, know that refers to my love of Laura Mercier (the makeup, not the actual woman) and is used as my work contact. EVERYBODY else that is a contestant has their nice concise name written under their picture. Not me! I'm Heatherloveslaura. So if you should want to get on the website (by clicking on the link I provided above) and vote for me you now know what to type into the search engine!

Loved It: Ballerinas

When I was little my parents gave me the option of taking ballet or gymnastics. I chose gymnastics. I loved it. I dreamed of balance beams and uneven bars. Ballet never really appealed to me. (super weird! wouldn't you think the pink tu-tus would be right up my alley?) Until I grew up. Now i wish I was a ballerina. Or at least knew a little more about the beautiful dance than I know now. I mean, I know what a plié is, I  just don't know how to do a proper one. I've been looking into taking lessons here. 

Loved It: Funny Cards

I saw these on Pinterest and they made me laugh. (what with my little weight-loss competition I'm in and all)

Loved It: Getting Fit

Don't worry, I'm not delusional and under the impression I'm fat. However, I do have a little fat I'd like to loose. It's just, well, the motivation can be lacking sometimes. Granted I should have found plenty of motivation in the dressing room Saturday when I sadly discovered that the brightly colored skinny jean trend and I do not go together. At all. So how happy I was when a few of my friends asked me if I'd like to join them in a freindly weight loss competition!

We all got together and weighed in on the same scale. The weights were recorded. We have 8 weeks to loose.  And by loose, I mean win, of course.
Let the healthy eating and workouts begin! May the fittest gal win!

Call your gal pals and start something healthy today!
