Things I'm Loving Right Now

Water bottles with filters. I love these Camelbak ones. So when you're sweatin' it up a the gym, you know you're getting the best water to energize your bod.

Old bikes used as garden accessories. There's something so DIY country chic about it. It says, spring is here!!! and the warm sunny weather doesn't hurt either.

And if you don't have a garden in your backyard, then you can always get the next best thing... spring in a jar. Bath and Body Works has the best smelling spring scented candles right now. My favorite is Lilac Blossom, but they have other yummy scents like Spring Bloom and Flower Shop etc.

Turquoise Jewelry. Yes, I know it was in only about 2 years ago, but in my opinion, turquoise never goes out of fashion. I never take off my favorite turquoise ring and I'm always expanding my collection little by little.

The website, dearphotograph.com I could browse through those photos all day long. It also inspires me to visit locations of my old photos and attempt to take one.

Newman's Olive Oil. The main reason why I love Newman's Own is because all their profits go towards charity. Their entire line of salad dressings are all organic and I'm loving the olive oil/ basalmic vinegar combo.

Crocheted tops. Im obsessed. I bought this one in red and black although I was temped to buy every color. Shopping is my addiction.

Living in the Sun

Today was GORGEOUS!! I packed all my clothes up (with the exception of 5 days worth) and transferred them to the new house!! Over the weekend, my parents signed the house papers (and we celebrated with margaritas) so now we officially can move in. The moving truck is coming tomorrow, but I thought I'd get a head start. So basically my room is empty, but my closet is full. In the process of driving to and from the house a couple of times, I stopped to tan a bit because it was so hot out. Aside from getting some really bad tanlines from my tank, it was the best day ev. I stayed at the house for a bit, organized my things, had a few beers while i tanned, and listened to some Katy Perry, David Guetta, and of course, my girl Nicki Minaj.

My concrete beach.

Fully stocked fridge. All I need.

And 30 minutes in the Colorado sun will do this to you....

Lotion Lotion and more Lotion.

Scenes from Denver

Last night I went out to see the Hunger Games. Incredible movie and great film shots and acting. Idid not read the book, but hve heard that it follows it pretty closely- obviously without the intense detail that a book can provide. Although I simply cannot ignore that it closely resembles the movie, The Condemned. If you havent seen that movie, its worth a watch. I loved that one too. But again, super similar plot lines as the Hunger Games. I cant wait for the next movies in the trilogy to come out... I'm not that much of a reader. And now.... SCENES.

Really? $5 bras? Forever 21 is really giving Victorias Secret some competition. LOL

Brothers... a little taste of back home.

Damn right... Guinness Knows.

WICKED!!

Good Point.

My half birthday

I'M 23.5!!!!!!! Now the new better version of "Leah 23.0" Well, I actually forgot to celebrate my half birthday. I think Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras just sort of overshadowed any other important event in my life. Nonetheless, boys gave me beads and I saw some girl's tits. She was flashing everyone. I was actually surprised she didn't have more beads. But I see boobs at work every day -- no, not at the strip club, at Victoria's Secret. Speaking of, I have actually been seeing more and more VS on tv. Just last week, the NBC show, 'Whitney' featured a 'sand bra' which was supposed to increase your bust by 3 cup sizes. Well the actual bra she was wearing was in fact the Miraculous from Victoria's Secret. (I was actually surprised they used the color nude for filming - wouldnt you think it'd be a fun color??) And the Miraculous bra is supposed to increase 2 cup sizes. Us VS girls know our bras. I was watching reruns of Californication about a month ago and one of the girls was wearing one of our rompers from the Body by Victoria Line. I also love the Kardashians and they have alot of PINK clothes and I've seen our satin pajamas on that show too. Go VS!!! And Happy 1/2 Birthday to me! Also, I'd like to post the treats I made for valentines day. My friend, Shannon, made cake balls and they were so cute!! We have to start a bakery together!!

The text message I sent to my mom and dad

I made dipped pretzels for my coworkers with the extra leftover chocolate. YUM YUM

6th Annual Valentines Day ♥ Cupcakes!!!

Every year for Valentine's Day, I make cupcakes and give them out to all my lovers. This year, I went a bit fancier than I usually do. I made tiramisu cupcakes from scratch. (ya, not a box mix!!) I found a few recipes online and combined about 3-4 of them to create my own recipe (which still needs a bit of work). But damn were they delicious. I made the cakes with whole wheat flour and flax seed. And the filling with mascarpone cheese- basically the one ingredient that MAKES tiramisu so delicious. Used espresso from Starbucks and of course added some rum to the frosting. They are to die for. On Valentines day, I am going to dip strawberries, because who doesn't love strawberries dipped in melted chocolate? My tummy is already grumbling!!! Happy (early) Valentines Day to all you lovers out there!! ♥ xo xo xo xo xo ♥
