A few things before we part for the 4th

I don't know about y'all, but this week flew by for me and I'm not complaining one bit.  Want to know what else I'm not complaining about?  The 3 day weekend we have coming up, which I plan on spending at the pool while enjoying some frosty beverages with friends. 

Speaking of frosty beverages, I've wanted to share this with y'all since Robert text me about it earlier this week.  Did you know that Crystal Light now sells a limited edition MOCKTAIL mix?  
[via]
Contains just 5 calories and 0 carbohydrates per 8 fl. oz. serving / Sweetened with a blend of non-nutritive sweeteners
Since the word "MOCKTAIL" isn't in my vocabulary, what I plan on doing is mixing a pitcher of the Crystal Light Margarita and adding tequila and fresh squeezed lime.  Homemade Skinnygirl Margarita anyone?  Done way cheaper?  Done and done. 

I will have to let you ladies know how it turns out when I get back to blogging after the 4th. Let's hope it's as tasty as I envision. 

Also, I'm excited about debuting my 4th of July bikini (under a cover-up) that I got at WAL-MART.  Yes, Wal-Mart.  The bottoms are red tie and the top navy blue with white star halter.  Only $6 a piece. 

Who would have thought Wal-Mart had cute suits?  News to me, but their OP line is super affordable and very cute.  You should def give if it a look.
Could not find star top online, but string solid navy here / Red bottoms here
Guess who is headed to Old Navy after work for a cute white cover-up?  This girl.  Don't you think one of these would be cute over my Americana suit? 
1 / 2 / 3
So I've got the sweet nectar covered, a patriotic swimy suit, a cover-up to disguise my large and in charge thighs and look what I got on clearance for $12.48 at Target this week?  Yes, this little lady that I blogged about last Friday

Too bad I couldn't find my Tommy Hilfiger Taniki to dust off for the holiday weekend.  It would have been a real head turner.   Please meet me and my mushroom haircut at 15 years old modeling by a dumpster.  Normal. 

 Have a safe and fabulous 4th of July!  I will see you bargainistas back here on Tuesday!

  6. Who is this Robert? He seems like an AWESOME guy! (and he is single, so ladies send all of your non-stalker gay husbands his way)!!!
    Let me know how the drinks turn out, I may have to leave Heartland early to do a taste test!
    One complaint, though! We really have to wait until after the 4th for a new blog entry?? :-)
