Wanna Getaway?

A few weeks ago, the BF and I were finally able to celebrate our two year anniversary and went to Palm Springs for a night away. While we were there we took the Aerial Tramway, the world's largest rotating tramcar. It was so neat and beautiful, but it was cold up there! There was so much snow (kind of reminded me of back home) and people were ready to go with their sleds. There's also tons of hikes to do and the BF and I plan on going up there again, but we'll be ready! Here are some pics:

The tram takes you up over 12,000 ft and rotates the entire time so you can take in the gorgeous view. It's kind of scary only because you're standing instead of sitting, but I had no problem with it even though I'm scared of heights. I would definitely recommend taking the tram to anyone visiting Palm Springs, but be better prepared with a picnic or hiking plans to really have the full experience.


The view is phenomenal, I couldn't believe it looks like this in Palm Springs.


The BF and I


I thought this bench was so cute! We sat here for a while and people watched.

What Should I Wear? Help style me!

At the end of the month, the BF and I are celebrating our birthdays together (they're only 5 days apart) with our friends and family at Roscoe's Famous Deli. It's a really fun place, but low key. I don't mind being overdressed since I am the birthday girl and all, but I can't be too over the top.

Here are some outfits I'm looking to check out:

Outfit 1: A cute Forever 21 top, American Eagle dark denim shorts (it's pretty warm here already and should be even warmer by the end of April), and my cute Nine West Spring Wedges:


Outfit 2: A casual dress from Victoria Secret with my wedges


Outfit 3: Cute dresses from Lulus, also worn with my wedges



Outfit 4: This cute romper from Dillards also worn with my wedges:



So lovelies, what do you think is the best pick? Do you like the ones I showed here, or do you have a better suggestion? I'm kind of leaning more toward the shorts and a cute top or a romper, but dresses are always in my heart and I love the ones above. Also, I know that technically, there's more than 3 outfits here, just let me know which style or particular item you like best.

Please help! I'm open to anything, not just what I have posted above. I'd love to hear your feedback! I'm also happy and appreciative of all questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions. Thank you so much!

Easter

Easter is my favorite holiday (along with 4th of July) because  it's such a fun holiday and it doesn't matter if you have family or a significant other, there is still reason to celebrate! Plus, it's the start of Spring and everyone busts out swimsuits, hats, and cute dresses which I love. Also, all the peeps and cotton candy do me in.


Every year we go to my Aunt's for a family BBQ and swimming and it's just the best time. I love spending time with my family and this year was wonderful!


Here are some of my favorite pics from the day:




I'm wearing the floral romper from this post. It totally looked better in person and was really comfortable.

Look what I made! I finally did some baking! They're Cake Balls, so good, but very rich.

Resolutions, March Update

March has been 20/50 for my resolutions, some things I've done great at and others have slipped. I'm hoping that April I can be 100% on all things (I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for that).
So... here we go:


1. Write in my journal..... I never ended up doing last month's recap and haven't written in my Kiehl's journal either!! I better step it up in April!


2. This is my year of savings. I'm still in the same boat as last month, but have kept my eye on rates so I can compare banks for my retirement account.


3. Lose 15lbs by May 1st. I'm doing awesome with this! It's killed me not to do a post sooner! I've gone to the gym almost every week (except one because I had holidays and family dinners nearly everyday), and for one week I even worked out BEFORE work!! I know- amazing right? I've stopped counting calories, but have made adjustments and have just kept eating a lot of the same stuff as when I was counting. Counting calories is really what helped me to lose and REALLY opened my eyes to what I have been putting in my mouth. Did you know a banana milkshake has 900 calories? I almost cried. I only have 9 more lbs to go and I am DETERMINED to lose it in April. I plan on doing the Jillian Michael 30 Day shred 3 days a week before work and working out 3 days a week after work while continuing to eat healthy. I'm so serious about those last 9 pounds, I'm going to lose them if it kills me. Once I've lost the initial weight I want to lose, I'm going to then focus on toning up and staying healthy.

4. Learn to cook. Well, I'm at a stand still with this one, but I am making Easter treats for this weekend- that counts right? This one is hard for me because I get home so late, I still need to work out, meet with friends, catch up on my DVR shows, etc. so I end up eating whatever my Mom has prepared or a bowl of cereal. I need to start trying new recipes on the weekend when I have more time.  

5. To be more personal on this blog. I've been doing a lot of inspiration posts, trying new hair and make-up looks, and other personal posts and I've had a lot of fun. Is there anything that you guys really enjoyed or would like to see more of? 


How are you guys doing with your resolutions? Have you changed or modified any of them? Have you abandoned any? How did you like the SBTB throwback? Wasn't it such a great show?
