Confessional Thursday

Happy rainy Thursday! At least that's the case here in Nebraska. I'm excited to be back for another link up with Jess @ The Newly.

 

 

Time to spill!

 

 

I confess...


... "Blue Ocean Wave" is my new favorite candle. I asked you all a few weeks ago about your favorite candles. Well, soon after I was in Bath & Body works to grab a few things and I smelled THIS candle. Ohhhhh SO GOOD! I am almost always a vanilla, pecan pie, make my house smell like fresh baked goods type of candle buyer. But this - this is fresh and an indescribable scent that you NEED for Spring! My only regret is not buying more while they were $12.50!

...I've been battling these weird allergy/cold like symptoms for over a week now! I wish it would turn into something and get it over with! Ugh! I've heard allergies develop later in life and if this is what they are ....  no thanks.

...I have cavities. Yes. Plural. I have had one cavity in my life (probably 15 years ago!) and suddenly I go in for my cleaning and I have multiple (albeit small) cavities! What?! Embarrassing. PS- I do brush and floss my teeth.


...I decided that it was time to put desserts back on the cheat day train. You see, somewhere in the last 6 months I decided...why reserve sweets for Sunday or Monday? How about have a milkshake and brownie every night? Well, my thighs disagree. With Summer around the bend I decided its time to slash those extra cals. And it's HARD! I have to actively distract myself so that I don't seek out some sort of sweet treat every night. I'm sure my body is thanking me.

This cake I made for Easter didn't get entirely eaten. It's been taunting me every night.

What are you confessing this week? Tell me in the comments or link up with us for Confessional Thursday!

Confessions

I am officially blaming Daylight Savings Time for this week. I have no other excuse for my extreme exhaustion. Well, maybe that I stayed up watching the Bachelor and ATFR until 1:30 on Tuesday didn't help, either. Whatever!

We are linking up with Jess at The Newly again for Confessions!

I confess...

...Facebook had to tell me it was St. Patrick's Day. And then I had to dig through my pile (see #4) to find a green shirt. Annoying. PS- Happy St.  Patrick's Day. I have never really celebrated this holiday, minus the year that I was in Chicago for the event. And that was really fun! Facebook also reminded me of this day with this fun green river pic...

...Last night I folded my husband's laundry. But I piled the clothes around me on the couch so I didn't have to move while doing it. Yep, that lazy.

...I've had a brownie sundae every night this week. I really cannot say no to a warm brownie and ice cream.

...Another laundry situation: I have been pulling my clean clothes out of the dryer and throwing them on the guest room bed. For 2 weeks now. The pile is substantial. I cannot find my clothes anymore. I am currently searching for an assistant to help me clean this mess up this weekend.  I cannot tackle the job mentally.


...I was SO happy with the Bachelor outcome. I teared up during the proposal. And I have no problem saying that this was my absolute favorite season of the Bachelor. EVER. 

...and on a related note, I am SO SO SO happy that Caila isn't the Bachelorette. I'm happy it's JoJo,  but more so just pleased that it's anyone but Caila.

...I seriously dread shaving my legs. EVERY TIME! Why is it so hard?!

...I have become the type of person who hits the snooze button no less than 3 times. When did this happen?! I swear I didn't used to be like this.

I'm out of here! Tonight I am hitting the red carpet (haha, not really) at Omaha Fashion Week! It should be a good time and you can guarantee I'll share with you all soon!

Have a happy St. Pat's!

Confessional Thursday

First of all, I confess that Confessional Thursday makes me even more aware of how quickly time flies by. Didn't I *just* do this post!? But anyways, here we go again!

I also confess...

...I am probably going to fail at my Jazzercise 35 Day Challenge. Sad. I gave it a try...but busy lives, working late and vacations in the mix do not give me a good chance! It's still sort of possible. Maybe.


 

I was really working for the tank top! Cute, right? PS - try Jazzercise.

...that my bags are still not unpacked. Are you seeing a trend here?

...I drove through a coffee shop yesterday and accidentally also ordered a bag of glazed donut holes. They were gone within 5 minutes.

...As excited as I am for our kitchen cabinet remodel, I am TOTALLY dreading it. SO. MUCH. WORK. Thank goodness for my mom who excels at these kind of projects.

...that I am sorry for never reviewing THIS lip product. It is one of my favorites! Clay's aunt bought this for me after I raved about it when I used it one day. It is so fantastic! The perfect shimmer, makes your lips feel so good, and smells fresh and fruity! Perfect chapstick/gloss to keep with you at all times.

...that I already want to go back to California. Seriously.


...I am officially an everyday coffee person. UGH! I didn't want this. I used to grab a latte once a week. Maybe. Now.... I drink coffee for the better half of every morning.

Can't stay away.

 

Thanks for hanging through another week of confessions...

 

Link up with The Newly blog to share your confessions as well!  

 

 

Confessional Thursday

Wow! It's really that time again. Another week has flown by and with that...  More confessions.

 

I confess ....

1. That I told myself NO buying girl scout cookies this year. But then this darling girl came to our door last week and now I have several boxes on the way. Just helping out the local troop, right? 

Seriously, I sort of salivated looking at this picture (side confession).

 

2. That I went crazy at a Target clearance and purchased a few sweaters and t shirts. But all at less than $7 each!! I think it's totally worth it. And it's nice to freshen up your wardrobe at the end of the season. I just hope that I am not wearing sweaters for TOO much longer.

3. I don't know if I believe that "blonde" products actually make a difference. For example, I recently purchased the blonde version of one of my favorite hair products, It's a 10. Is this just a marketing ploy? I'll let you know. 

 

 

4. That I haven't packed a thing for our trip. And we leave REALLY early. Like, I might get to sleep for 3-4  hours early. It will be so worth it!

and lastly...



5. That I am almost more excited for our San Diego trip than I was for Jamaica. Yikes.. I know. But I have wanted to visit San Diego for a long time and I am even more excited knowing that it is really HOT there right now! Yes... I will gladly ditch my snow gear for the weekend. Woo!

If you have any must eat/must visit San Diego locations, let me know in the comments!

And on that note.... I will be putting the blog on the backburner until next week! Feel free to follow Sweet & Modern on Instagram @sweetandmodern for San Diego updates!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Confessional Friday

It has been a minute since I linked up with Leslie @ A Blonde Ambition for a confessional!

So, here we go!

1. I confess that last night I had a variety of desserts for supper. I don't want to get into it, but it went on for hours and there was ice cream with Cookie Butter. And frosting. And PB & J....

2. I am learning to make cinnamon rolls from scratch- and I think I finally got what I wanted with trial #3 last night. Woo! Thanks to my awesome aunt and her timeless recipes!

3. I confess that I still haven't watched the premier of The Bachelor. For someone who rarely misses a season, this is upsetting. It is happening... this weekend.

4. I have been trying to get caught up on New Girl on Netflix. In the last two nights, I watched 13 episodes. That's a little embarrassing.

5. I confess that I slept in until 10:00 AM on my "cold" day home from work. It was amazing. I guess there has to be one upside to this awful weather!

6. I confess that I LOVE that so many of my girlfriends are moms and/or becoming moms. Nothing makes me happier than seeing all of their sweet little baby faces.

Alright, feeling good! Let's get this weekend rolling.. I could use a day off... after only working for 3 days this week!

And side note: those of you who are receiving the Ipsy glam box...tell me more. Has it been worth it? I almost completed my profile, but didn't go through with it quite yet. I like to think these kind of commitments through. Help!

Happy Friday!

Confessional Friday

Hey all! I had sweet plans for the blog this week, and... I've been sick. So lame. I am writing this through my stuffed nose and watery eyes. This is sooo the weather's fault. You can't go from snow boots to flip flops in the same day and not have repercussions! C'mon!

So, for fun today, we are linking up with A Blonde Ambition for Confessional Friday!

Alright... here goes.

1. I cheated on my clean eat. Twice. Once with cookies, and once (twice...how do you count that? It was within the same hour) with bread and Nilla wafers. Sorry I'm not sorry.

2. I listened to only 90s music all week. Backstreet, Weezer, Britney and I are all back on a first name basis.

3. I went back to bed for 3 hours after working for 1...two days this week. Again, not sorry.

4. I haven't worked out since Tuesday.

5. Last but not least, I have been wearing the same outfit since yesterday at 4:00 PM. Okay, maybe I am a little bit sorry about that.

Going to change now. And going to the gym, maybe.

Ciao!
