Last Wednesday, the
$75 Visa Gift Card Giveaway that
TenList hosted on The Bargain Blonde closed! I went out of town Thursday, came back Friday and then went to Ft. Worth Sunday. Life has been so hectic lately, but today I'm finally able to blog again and announce the winner! Congratulations to #259,
Katelyn ...
And
TenList is so awesome that they upped the card to $100 just because. Enjoy Katelyn!
Like I mentioned above, I went out of town twice this weekend and both times were for Stella and Dot parties!
Thursday I went to visit my Aunt who lives about 2 hours west of Dallas in a small town and while there, I had a party with blogger
Amy from
Tales of Small Town Girl. She was the tiniest, cutest, sweetest little thing ever! Here are a few pics from my time in the country.
 |
| Yummy! My Aunt made veggie omlette, turkey sausage and low carb toast for breakfast. Love me some home cookin! |
 |
| Saw this sign while antiquing and I'm seriously regretting not buying it for my desk at work. |
 |
| The most delicious Club Cobb Salad ever! Sorry, I'm not sorry but I did eat all that cheese. |
I drove back to Dallas Friday evening and stayed in that night. This Bargain Blonde was tired. Saturday morning I took Reese to gymnastics, then Bear to the dog park, took a nap and then went over to my
bestie Courtney's new house for grilling, pool time and a puppy play date.

Sunday I headed out west to Ft. Worth for another Stella and Dot party blogger
Mrs. Lia Joy from
life is aMAYESing hosted for moi! She had the cutest spread, baked a fabulous cake and even had homemade Sangria for us!

If you follow me on Instagram/Twitter, then you've most likely seen me posting pictures about the Tone It Up nutrition plan. I started the Tone It Up fitness/nutrition program last week and many of you have asked me to share it with you and post recipes to some of the healthy foods I've cooked. I will be blogging all about it tomorrow, so stay tuned!! If you have any fitness/nutrition related questions about Tone It Up or want to know what Tone It Up even is, leave me your question in the comments of this post!
Happy Monday! Make it a good one! XOXO

Hey Les.
ReplyDeleteI want to host a Stella and Dot party. serious. When can we schedule it??
Wine and watermelon....totally craving both now. And that cake looks out-of-this-world delicious -worth every calorie, I'm sure! I'm excited to hear about your Tone It Up routine tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteIf I lived anywhere near you, I'd be ALL OVER the Stella & Dot party thing. I've been coveting so many of their pieces but I cannot justify continuing to buy myself jewelry. I have been really interested in your Tone it Up diet/workout plan (I signed up with them for their summer thing but you can guess how long that lasted), but at the same time, I really want that peanut butter cake & wine. So, where does that leave me? HA!
ReplyDeleteHow fun, I love Dallas, and those cute mason jar cups. SOOOO cute.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner
Happy Monday gorgeous
