A CHEERY PRINT TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY

Have all of you heard about the Quarantine 15? If not, that is referring to the 15 pounds of weight that we are all gaining. I am so serious, I am non-stop eating, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. Joe, on the other hand, is eating everything in sight and not gaining any weight. How is that possible??? He loves all of the desserts and home-cooked meals, and he thinks that I am going to keep this up forever. Ha! I hate to burst his bubble, but that isn’t going to happen. Lol!
I had been doing so good with my Delay, Don’t Deny intermittent fasting by Gin Stephens. There are a lot of great insights in the book about how our bodies process food, but the thing that I took away from the book is that I needed an eating “window.” I picked my window from 2:00 pm until 7:00 pm. I couldn’t have anything to eat or drink before 2:00 pm except for water and black coffee. That meant me giving up my coffee creamer and all sweeteners, even zero-calorie ones. But, once 2:00 rolled around, then I could eat anything that I wanted, but I had to stop eating by 7:00 pm.

I did great…at first. Then, the stress of the virus started to take its toll. I wanted comfort food, and it seems like all of the comfort food is fattening. We have had cakes, cookies, cobblers, banana pudding, banana nut bread, candy, and even a splurge of ice cream one afternoon. And, my 7:00 pm window has become an 8:00 pm window. Then, my 8:00 pm window became my 9:00 pm window. I think you can see where this is going. UGH! So, once again, I am crawling my heavier than before rear back up on the horse to try to get back in the IF swing of things. If you see me eating a cookie, take it away from me. Unless it is an Oreo, and those don’t count. Lol!
I mentioned yesterday that I had ordered a few things in from Talbots, and this is one of the shirts that I just got in. The cheery print is what drew my attention. I love the bright red flowers (look like tulips to me) and the contrasting black leaves. This sleeveless shirt looks crisp and clean, and I love how classic this looks on. I can see this looking great with shorts and jeans, and a cardigan or a blazer would make the shirt dressy.

When you look at an item, start thinking about what you can wear it with to see if it is versatile. You want to be able to wear it in three different ways to extend your wardrobe. So, think about wearing this with a pair of white crops, a pair of jeans, and a black pair of pants like I have here. That is just a few ways that you could wear this button-up shirt. I am wearing a size 10 in this shirt, and I think it fits me great. It is machine washable, and it is 97% Cotton; 3% Spandex. Here is the link to the top.
I thought that you might like to see how long the shirt is in the rear. It does dip down, but it is not long like a tunic.
I thought this was a really cool picture. Lol! It might not show the pants off as well as it could, but I thought you gurls would appreciate the rearview as well as the front view. Yesterday (here), I wore a pair of blue pants with the back slit. Well, today, I have on a black pair of the same pants. I love these pants because they are almost like yoga pants, but a dressier material. They are very comfortable, and they don’t cut into your waist. They are a pull-on style, but they look like dress pants. Maybe we should rename them as yodress or dressyo pants. What do you think???

I am wearing a .5 in these, which is the same as a 6. However, I think that they run big since I usually wear a size 1 in Chico’s jeans. These pants come in several colors, and they are on sale, so grab several pairs. They look cute coming and going since they have the back slit. Here is the link.
Since I wasn’t going to the chicken coop, I thought that I would wear my Tory Burch flip flops. LOL! I bought a leather version of this same sandal, but I honestly prefer the rubber ones. This is one time that I went with comfort over style! Lol! Did I just say that!?! Here is the link to these remarkably comfortable flip flops. And, because I found a huge sale of Tory Burch shoes, I’ll share my favorite picks from the sale with you. I love nice things; I just don’t like paying full price for them.

I’ve been trying to share with all of you some fantastic deals on some of my favorite Rodan + Fields products. The skincare products were what I fell in love with years ago. I tried a product and then became a consultant so that I could get my products at the lowest price possible. I told you that I like getting nice things at a discount!!!

But, then, you gurls started messaging me and wanting to know what I was doing, and once I realized that I had been selfish in keeping my “find” to myself, I shared what I was using. If you want the products at the best possible price, then become a consultant. If you want the next best thing, then become my Preferred Customer.

Anyone who becomes a consultant TODAY will receive 50.00 or more off of a business kit. Anyone who becomes my PC TODAY will receive an extra 10.00 refund in addition to the great deals that I already have (read yesterday’s post for details) running.
