Jamie

Hey lovers! I want to take a moment to wish one of my best friends a happy birthday!!! (She’s 22 today!!)

Happy Birthday Jamie!!!

Jamie and I met in our sophmore year of high school!!!  We have been through so much together, and I love her like family!!! Like me, Jamie is also a former fat girl.  She has lost over 50lbs since I met her!! What an accomplishment!! She is also about to transfer to law school!! She makes me so proud and I love her so much!!

Us in 2008. (Both heavier!)

Tonight we will be going out to celebrate with her family at a italian restaurant!

Look what I got her!!

Leopard Print PJ's!!!

She asked for this…so I don’t know that it will be much of a surprise ;).  They are beyond soft and I want my own pair!!!!

All wrapped up!

Yes, I wrapped that myself!!! I’m the best wrapper ever…better believe it!!!! I also used this purple paper because it’s her favorite color!! How thoughtful am I??

On to some eats…

Breakfast:

I’m aware this bowl of oats looks really gross!!! I really should have mixed it before putting it in the bowl…anyways it was delicious!! My stove top oats included:

• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond breeze
• 1/2 cup wata
• thinly sliced banana
• splash of vanilla

I made this after watching Kath’s oatmeal video! Once it was done, I added

• 1T Ground flax meal
• 1T Almond Butta
• Stevia

I forgot how much I really love stove top oats. (I will never eat instant oats again….NEVER!!!!!!)

I headed to work in the pouring rain!!! (LA doesn’t always have amazing weather!)

I thought it might be fun to post a what I wore picture!! So here you go!

• T2Love Jacket
• Wildfox Tee (“Love is Everything”)
• Seven for All Mankind black jeggins
• Ugg boots

Ugg boots are my essentials in the rain. (I don’t own rainboots!!!)

I am freezing my booty of in the store now!!!

I'm cold!!!

This hairdo is called a “top knot” (Hello! Jennifer Lopez on American Idol!)  Yes I’m aware celebrities look a lot better with this top knot then I do!! I still rock it because it’s easy peasy lemon squeezy!

I’m currently snacking on this:

Not my favorite….I definitely prefer fruit and nut bars!! LaraBars

That’s all for now!

Any fun plans for the weekend?? What’s your favorite kind of bar??
