High Five for Friday

Happppppyyyy  Friday lovelies!!!

I am having the absolute best time in Chicago!!

I'll save my recaps for next week, but today I'm here with the regular scheduled program.

And don't judge me for blogging on vacay.

Shelby and I share a love for the blogging world and also have a bit of friendly blogging competition going on, so we are enjoying blog hour together.

It's a bonding experience, okay!  :)

First, I'm linking up with From My Grey Desk for High Five for Friday...

 {ONE}I received my March Birchbox.I'm always so excited to see what's inside...this month didn't disappoint.

 I love love love the bright orange polish and I cannot wait to try it out.
{TWO}

I also received my new heart rate monitor watch.  I'm borderline addicted to watches and working out right now...so this product was right up my alley.  I bought it on 1saleaday.com for less than $20...I kind of can't remember the actual price...it shipped so fast though and I cannot wait to try it out.
{THREE}

 

I got myself a mani/pedi...nothing new huh?  

I feel like I do this once a week or so.  It's my guilty pleasure ok!  

I boycotted acrylic nails for a while and I'm still wondering why I got them, but it is nice to have pretty nails that last for more than 2-3 days.  I love that they last for more like 2-3 weeks.

{FOUR}

I had strawberry shortcake for the first time this week.  UMMM can someone explain how I've been missing out on such a delicious combination???

It's probably my new favorite dessert.

{FIVE}Meg from Simply Complicated blogged last week about the romantic qualities of an airport.So I arrive at the airport on Wednesday night and I'm immediately overjoyed by all of the family members waiting with welcome home signs for their loved ones who had been away serving our country.  I literally couldn't even focus on the fact that I had a plane to catch....I so badly wanted to wait with them to experience such a moment.  

 {via google}While I was waiting in line at security, I see a man dressed in camouflage round the corner and take off running towards the waiting family.  The family members, one in particular (his wife) begins screaming and crying and another family member is recording the whole thing.
When he makes it his wife, she literally launches into his arms.I mean talk about an emotional breakdown...I couldn't turn the tears off.It was the most moving thing I had seen in a long time.

I get chills just thinking about it.

Ok, next up is Nail Files with Fabulous but Evil

In honor of one of my favorite days, I'll be sporting this color very soon!

It's Friday, I'm in love....link up with Shane. I'll just be spending the day with Shelbs...did I mention that she is one of my faves??Check her out...she is amazing!Sweetness In Starlight Make today ridiculously amazing!XoXo

What I'm Loving Wednesday with Jamie and Oh How Pinteresteing with Michelle!!

It's not too late to get in on the fun!

{ONE}

Valentines Candy, Gifts and Cards Galore

I am one lucky girl!

Yes, I may have spent last night eating Chinese takout and blogging, but I have some incredible students and they made my Valentines so so special. New Year, New You went out the window yesterday as I considered Valentines day a day for cheating the diet...hints the candy bars for breakfast (they were fun sized, but still far from on my diet).

I am so blessed!

I adore cards....

{TWO}

I'm LOVING that I got my first Birchbox!

I can't wait to try some of my goodies...

Viva La Juicy is one of my faves! 

{THREE}

 Chinese Lanterns

Yesterday, there was a deal on Eversave.com...10 lanterns for $14.

I am obsessed with this tradition and have been for a long time!

If you aren't sure what Chinese Lanterns are....

they were shown on the movie Tangled and in season 15 of the Bachelorette.

Here are the ones that I bought.

If you are interested, check of Eversave...the deal is still good!

 I cannot wait to use these! {FOUR}I'm loving all of you, my  followers...I have gottten quite a bit of new followers lately and I just want to tell you all how much I appreciate you stopping by and leaving sweet comments on my blog...it really makes my day!  :)

Happy Wednesday!!!

Can you believe this week is half way over?

I'm linking up with 2 of my faves.

What I'm Loving Wednesday with Jamie.

{BirchBox}

I tried to sign up for Birchbox a couple of weeks ago, but had to be put on a waiting list.

Well friends, the wait is over.

I got an email yesterday that I'm in.

Yah!!!

{Movies}

I'm loving The Vow is coming out this weekend.

Somone blogged today about there being a book and now I am determined to read the book first.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find it on the kindle so I am trying to get my hands on a copy.

I am also dying to see Big Miracle.

It's also based on a true story and it looks so good.

I'm hoping to make it to the movies soon.

There are actually  bunch of movies that I want to see.

{Bathing Suits}

It's never too early to start racking up on new swimwear.

I have a bit, ok a lot, of an addiction to bathing suits.

I always buy at least 4 or 5 new suits every summer.

These are a few that I have my eyes on for summer 2012.

{Colored Tights}

I adore these Kate Spade tights.

I'm not sure what season they are for...someone help me?

Are they for spring or winter?

Just say the word (spring) and I'm buying every color.

OK, maybe not every color, but I am loving the light purple color.

{M & M Commercial}

Also, what do you guys think of the red-headed girl in this commercial?

I'm loving the color and it's a possibility when I go get my hair did.

I need some opinions, please!!

Next up...Oh How Pinteresting with Michelle.

Oh, Pinterest...How I love thee!
