Beach time fun Pool side love

Hey now everybody! Didya miss me?  Things have been crazy!
I hope you guys didn't think I would forget about you and not continuing to update you on everything that's awesome.
Here's what's been awesome since last Thursday!

I took my very favorite Manhattan recipe with the dry and sweet Vermouth and had about three last week to kick off the long weekend.  Needless to say blogging about my drink of the week wasn't going to happen.
Here's what was going to happen.

Stoli orange and club.
Half and half.

With a splash of cranberry or grenadine for some pink.

Don't forget the cherry.

Then came Friday and the hangover of doom.
Fashionista Friday was more like "I'm just gonna sit here and watch Star Trek until I can move again" Friday.
I did manage to have a BEACH WEEKEND in the weirdest place--Wildwood, New Jersey.  It was a great time none-the-less.
Fashionista Friday was going to have a tutorial on victory rolls by the same girl I use for all my retro hair styles, Lisa Freemont.

This was my attempt on victory rolls on Karyn!

Thanks girls for a great weekend!

Also, I'm trying out this look which was inspired by my bestie! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK BETHANY !!!!!!

Check out the hoop. What do you think?

Monday's art project was totally nonexistent because I fell asleep on a raft in a pool. Sorry.

Tuesday tasty treat was left over BBQ!  Here's a treat for you to try--go get some tacos.

Which brings us to Wellness Wednesday!!! BUM BUM BUM.
Guess who lost another pound? This girl!
That brings us from 192 down to 189.6.  Awesome! Next week, I will be doing my measurements to see how many inches I have lost.

For all you weekend beach goers out there, I hope you seriously consider running on the beach.  It is something I have never done, until this weekend. I ran for 5.5 miles. It truly is a very zen experience, plus freaking hard.

This is what I think I look like.

This is what I probably really look like.

Oh well.  If you are interested in someone who actually KNOWS what they are doing, follow my sister-in-law's blog.  She's running her THIRD New York Marathon this year for Team McGraw in honor of my amazing brother, Chris.
