Facing the Weekend!!!

We'll get to the meaning of this in a few. First, On Friday night, I touched my hair color up, so I no longer have a black and grey stripe running down the middle. Yay!! Also, I got a new toy that I will show you in a minute.

On Saturday morning, I went to Boot Camp with my Good Life Champions club. It was a 2 hour class, and you could stay for one or both sessions. There were 5 of us for the first hour, and then only 2, me and Tammy, for the second hour. It was a lot of strength building and core work, and I am surprised that I'm not sore. Then we went out for a well deserved lunch.




We went to Jersey Mike's, where Doc had a giant Philly cheesesteak, and I had a sandwich in a tub, which makes it a salad. Then we went down to visit my mom, who is feeling much better after the injection in her knee a couple of weeks ago. This is what I wore:

I wore Old Navy shorts and a Style and Co top. The shorts are tan with a white pattern, and the top is tan knit with a metallic foil design on the front and flutter sleeves.


I wore an ethnic/tribal style necklace and my Forever 21 tan sandals with the gold studs.



Then we came home and I used my new toy, the Personal Pedi. I have a bad case of runner's feet - callouses and cracks and bumps. So I used this thing for an hour, and it filed down all the ugliness.


It's really gentle. Here's a before and an after of my heel, where it looked the worst.




It's a big difference. Maybe if I use it once a week, I can maintain the soft and smooth appearance. 

Then I just read a fascinating book about a teenager who chooses to stop his mental suffering in the worst way. 


The topic is not for everyone, but I couldn't put it down until I found out how it ended.

On Sunday, I went for a walk in the morning, then got ready to go to a facial party that my friend Cheryl was having. Here's what I wore to that:



It's a vintage chiffon floral sundress. I wore my Style and Co thong wedges with it.

Elli wanted to go also, but since her face is covered in fur, she stayed behind to wait for me.


The party was at Randi's house in Laguna Niguel. Here are my friends walking in.


Randi has the cutest dog. She reminded me soooo much of my darling Delila (RIP).


                                                                 This is Randi's dog.


                                                   This is Delila. See what I mean ?

The party was for Arbonne Vegan certified face products. They were nice, and I bought a few things.
We had mimosas and muffins, then went to In and Out on the way back to Elesha's house.


I can't wait for them to arrive. So that's how I faced the weekend. Today, it's back to work.


I am wearing a silk paisley dress by Express, with a linen and rayon safari jacket by Yansi Fugel on top. Here's the dress.




I wore a blue and green necklace that I had to fix a little bit before I could wear it.


On my right arm, a turquoise cuff and a blue topaz ring.



On the left, another turquoise cuff and a turquoise/MOP ring that Luke, Ashley and Preston got me.



I wore my Carlos Santana gladiator sandals.



So that's about it for now. I have a pretty busy schedule this week at work, and then some more fun, like the county fair, a concert, and another party, next weekend. And on August 8, there will be a joint Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party for Joseph and Benjy at the local water park.
