I've got a Crush Friday

Yes it's that time again. TGIF thats for sure. Today is a relaxing day, probably take a stab at cooking up some stuff bell peppers and rent a couple of movies. The weeks are busy, the weekends are busy so I'm ready just to put my pj's on by five and sit around the house. Today I've got a crush on some lovely topshop clothes! If I hit my weight goal by june I will be splurging on some of the adorable clothes. I've lost 15 pounds this month, it's craziness. And the awesome, awesome thing about topshop is that they have a tall section! A girl being 6 feet tall getting things to be long enough is a challenge.




I love, love, love all these adorable clothes and so many more! Hope everyone has a good weekend and love you all!

Ice Skate Date

Today was a day of Flea Markets, vintages stores and Ice Skating!!! Me and the boy thought we would try our take at ice skating and we didn't do to bad if I say so myself. We didn't fall which was a plus! The rink was crazy busy and there was almost a scare that we were not going to get skates but we did and I had a grand ol' time! We documented our day in little Iphone photos.











Love you all!

I've got a Crush Friday

Thank the lord it's friday. I can take a few deep breaths before I get back to work with school and everything else in life. This friday I have baby fever! Noo, I'm not having a baby but I have a lovely friend who is expecting her first little one in April. I've been searching out a few things for her baby shower next month and it's all so adorable! She's having a little boy and is decorating her nursery in a pond theme with turtles and frogs and little critters like that. This is what I found that is too cute!

This little Crochet turtle by Onehappyhuman

























These cute pond themed pillows and blankets from Velocity

























And these cute onesie's from Design Treads


























There was so much more cute stuff but I didn't want to put it all up :) I hope everyone has a great weekend! I know I will resting it up for my crazy weeks.

Love you all.

Mexican food Night!

one of my favorite types of food is mexican food. A lot of its vegetarian friendly and the spices make everything tasty! Tuesday my lovely boy usually makes his way over to my home and we cook together. I've had my mind on mexican food the last couple of days so that was the choice! This is what we made 

















First I made some tasty black bean salsa, this recipe is super super easy

first you'll need a can of rotel 
















Drain and add to a medium bowl

Second one can of black beans drained and added to your bowl

















One cup of corn
















and onions if you like them, it makes a great tasting salsa 

We also grilled up some veggies. Red and Green bell peppers and Onions 


















And cooked rice and beans!


















We had quite a table full of goodies for just the two of us so I have lots of leftovers which I made freezer burritos with.. yummmmm


















Hope the rest of your weeks go well and I can wait for the weekend!

love,
Mandah

I've got a Crush Friday

Yay for weekends! awe how I've been waiting for this after this busy, busy week. There was a few things that have caught my eye this week and I had planned on only sharing one item but I must show two! My first crush is for one of the lovely blogs I venture onto weekly. The lovely blog I go by Katie is the owner of a company called Darlingtonia moccasins and boy are these cute shoes! I would love to have a pair of my own one day but I can only dream right now










































My second Crush is the lovely, lovely sound of JJ Heller's CD When I'm With You. Her voice is lovely, the lyrics are thought filled and adorable. A couple duo of her husband and herself the music is incredible. I recommend picking up her CD on itunes our any store. She also has a blog herself: http://thelovelylittlethings.blogspot.com Here is one of her pretty songs.

Well I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Love, Mandah

St. Augustine

This past Saturday me and my lovely boyfriend ventured down to St. Augustine for a day trip. It was quite the time. We enjoyed picnicing, biking, and lots and lots of picture taking.

First we stopped by our local farmers market to pick up some fruit for the day where I acquired the larger piece of citrus fruit I have ever seen in my life.


We then drove down to St. Auggie and had a little picnic!

 
I made us tasty veggie sandwiches for lunch










We biked around, went to the oldest house, and saw all the sights of St. Augustine until it was about time for dinner. Around then we wandered on over to our favorite pizza place.




And what's dinner without a little treat afterwards!


We had some time after we ate to do a little more window shopping and I found this little critter in one of the shops. What a cutie.




We had a great time and I can't wait for the next date adventure!
