I really do need to start posting more often!! I'm not sure what's going on. I seem to be falling deeper & deeper into an attitude where I just feel gross, unhappy with how I look, and yet I can't find the motivation (even though I have TONNES) to get moving!
Looking back, this past week was the worst. I only went to the gym on Thursday. 1 day. I didn't even go on the weekends - and I normally LOVE going on the weekends because it's such a more laid back vibe. Nope. didn't happen. Instead I was stuck on the couch reading my new Sophie Kinsella Book.
Slacker.
Anyway, yesterday & today were kind of write offs. Yesterday I did the same as I did over the weekend: come home & chill. Read book. Fun..
Today after work I went to the mall to meet up with a friend for the Teppan-type japanese fast food for dinner: (think Edo Japan but called something differe), but she wasn't able to join. So instead I walked through the mall with an orange julius & taking a look at a lot of the new spring clothing out! YAY! I can't wait to get a few new summer dresses... which is actually what I did.
So here's the background... last year American Eagle had this strapless white summerdress that was beautiful, but it was $60, and I just couldn't afford it (or *need* it) at that time. So I just admired it from afar.
Today in Winners I somehow found that SAME dress but on for $24.99!!! Bango!!
Here it is:
I was so happy to find it! I tried it on along with 2 pairs of guess cropped jeans & a guess cargo-type dress. Nothing else fit. I could barely get the cropped jeans over my thighs to put on...and yet, the one pair I did manage to pull on wouldn't fit around my waist properly so my ass hung out...
It's so discouraging going clothing shopping... especially for pants.
I'm a bit taller, and its hard to find a good length that ALSO fits snug in the waist.
Today was no exception...BUT I did manage to walk away with my dress!
While trying on my dress I noticed a few scars on my legs (I can never leave skeeter bites alone & they scar on me lol) so I have to start using my Mederma Cream again:
I will tell you... for Anyone who has scars they want to get rid of, or even stretch marks... this stuff REALLY works!!!!
Last year during spring I was so embarassed to wear skirts/shorts or even capris because my cars on my legs were so bad. I was going on the trip to Cuba and LIKE HELL would I have pics taken with scarry legs. Seriously... the scars on my legs were horrible... darkened... like...it looked like I had a disease or something. I just checked for pics and there aren't any but I do have pics of the *after effect*
Anyway, I bought some of this cream off ebay because the drugstores charge you up the yingyang for this stuff, and in less than 1 month I noticed a change.
This pic is from the day before I went to Cuba. Yea... I was DARK!!!! (I love it! Oh.. and notice the glass in my hand. This was a Nova Scotia Liquor Commission Beach Party night... sample drinks ALL around for a sweet cover of $30... yes.. I was a little liquored here) lol. I outlined some of the scars. I really wish you could compare it with the 'before' but you'll just have to take my word that the 'before' was awful. I had people asking me all the time what was wrong with my legs. Terrible.
And here is one *at* cuba. Just another angle:
So as you can see, the scars are still there... still a little bit dark, but they pale in comparison to the 'before'.
so... long story short: if you have scars and/or stretch marks you want to vanish, then pick up a few of these tubes & see the amazing effect it had!!
I truely recommend it!
Ok, now it's time for me to sleep. Happy humpday everyone.
Oh btw - *IF* I was going to be going to Texas I'd have to be there Sunday.... guess what... I STILL haven't been told if I'm going or not.
*sigh*
Last minute.. that's so me. Apparently my boss sees that too, so he's got to be last minute with me. I dont' have kids but I do have 2 CATS and a bunny to figure out what I'm going to do with them. Argg!!

I'm tall and have the same issue!
And thank you for recommending Mederma! I was quite adventurous (or clumsy... :) when I was younger, which has left me with nasty huge scars all over. Now that I know Mederma works, I just ordered it!
I LOVE that dress! It is going to look fantastic on you!!
I am going to try the Mederma...I had a skin condition a while ago and I would love to see if it will work on the scars!!!
I hope they tell you soon about your trip!
That little dress is really cute! It's going to look great on you.
And you look really cute in the other picture you posted. All tan and curvy - very pretty! :)
I have the same trouble as you do with pants not fitting in the waist. I think most women have that trouble. You would think the stores would catch on by now!
I hope you find out soon about traveling for work. It stinks that they are dragging their feet.
I love Winner's!
My problems is that I am short and so it is hard for me to find clothes - even shirts - that fit properly!
I'm tall too. I have a hard time finding pants with long lengths. Glad you got your dress. :D
super cute photos!!!
Ashley - oh the stuff definitely works!! Use it *as directed* of course and you'll start to see results!
Jen: Thanks!! I love it tooo!!! I saw some articles online that the Mederma works on deep deep scars, so it'll probably help out!
PS: No trip. Friggen a-hole of a boss....
Jenn: Oh boy I was DARK in those pics! But I love tanning lol. I do it in moderation though LOL.
Yup, no travelling. Again, stupid a-hole of a boss.
Erin: I wish I had your problem sometimes, cuz then I could get things hemmed. But for me with pants, it makes it hard, cuz the length can't be lengthened LOL
LTFG: Yay! I;m excited, and I'm sure one day I'll post pics of the dress... probably not until the trip though lol
Eurydice: thanks! :)
