Thursday Thoughts



I'm linking up with Jen over at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom for Thursday Thoughts.

-  I should be getting my April Le Metier de Beaute box today!  I already know what's in it and excited to try it out.

- I signed up for Her Fashion Box at the end of February and the March boxes still haven't shipped yet.  I'm so glad I cancelled before being charged for April.  I wasn't about to pay for the April box when the March one wasn't even on it's way yet.  I don't understand what the issue is with this company, but they need to get their shit together.  On their Facebook page, they mentioned subscribers should receive their March boxes mid-late April.  Unbelievable.  I don't recommend signing up for this box.  All I have to say is that the March box better be amazing.

-  My sister and her boyfriend were here last weekend.  It was a pretty quick trip, but we had lots of fun.  Saturday night we were able to get a babysitter so we went out to dinner at Iridescence, which is located at Motor City Casino, and then we went on to MGM.  I love going to the casino.  I drank way too much.

- I'm in love with my new necklace that I bought last week from Recultured Designs.  The clothing is inspired by Europe.   They also have an Etsy store where you can purchase the necklaces and some of their clothing.  I can't wait to wear it!  The picture isn't of great quality, but I can't take another one right now.  All her necklaces are $50.



-  I quit doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred.  I was over halfway done, but I got tired of doing the same workout everyday and I know it's also bad for your muscles to not give them a chance to rest.  I've been sort of interested in Cassey Ho and her blog, Blogilates.  She makes workout calendars each month, and it's free.  There are a different set of workout videos each day to complete.  I also downloaded her app, and if you pay 99 cents/month, there's an extra video available and you can also check off what you have done.  There are also other things like recipes, and a forum, etc.  I also have my gym membership too for something extra.

  1. I understand what you mean about doing the same workout everyday. It does make you more prone to injury. I have a few injuries that limit my activities (I can't walk or run for exercise). I wish my gym had a pool (as much as I hate pool germs, it would be great low impact exercise). I do the eliptical machine and alternate upper and lower body strength training.

    1. Swimming does sound like it would be a great exercise for you. I have a pool at my gym, but I haven't used it yet. I love the elliptical, that's what I mostly do when I go.

  2. I had the same issue with that box. I want to see another month of it, but I didn't want to see it on my dime before I saw the first box I ordered!

    1. It is ridiculous to pay for a box when you haven't even received the previous one!

  3. Oh my I didn't sign up for that box but I totally agree you should get your first box before they charge you for the next one.

    1. It also doesn't help that they are not being very clear with subscribers about what's going on.

  4. Oh wow, I'm going to have to go check out the Blogilates site - that sounds like something I'd really like! I definitely need some sort of motivation - I'm having a hard time sticking with anything. I love that necklace too :)

    1. I have a hard time with that too. I get bored fast, but I have a feeling these planned workouts will be better because she mixes them up!
