Why do vampires gotta be so hot?

The Vampire Diaries
Thursdays
8pm
CW
Every Friday, I head over to a girlfriend's house to get my vampire fix. She dvr's the night before, so we can watch it without the commercials.

Season 2 is HOT!! Anyone else watching it?

Are werewolves always in a vampire storyline? I'm not complaining, especially since the wolves are nice to look at in their non-furry forms, but it seems like they are always trying to steal the thunder.

If you aren't watching, then go get Season One on DVD and catch up! Seriously, you are missing out!

And speaking of missing out ... I sure hope you have entered the Snorg Tees giveaway! Spread the word for more chances to win!! One lucky winner will be announced on Sunday!!
Happy Friday!!

Playing Dress-Up

Hubby and I are invited to a costume party this year ... what a fun opportunity to dress all slutty cute and partay it up with friends! Here are some costumes I have had my eyes on...

In all honesty, I would love to go as Bella Swan, but I can rock my jeans any old day of the week, and Tim refuses to go as the vampire I so adore. We thought of going as Snooki and Pauly D, but I could pass more for Sammi and nothing really sparkles about her. Anyone have any other ideas for me?? Who is dressin' up this year??

Snorg Tees Giveaway is just a click away ... have you entered yet??

Snorg ... even the name is funny!



Check out these hilarious tops from Snorg Tees! I was given the awesome opportunity to receive a free shirt for review from this funny online t-shirt company. It took me days to finally decide on which shirt to call my own, but this one made me giggle a little more (gotta love Will Ferrell in Step Brothers).
The tee is a cool dark gray color and super soft. The website says they run a little small, so I ordered the next size up and got a women's large. I love the fit - perfect length and not too snug! My shirt gets a lot of attention and is a great conversation starter!
These tees would make the perfect gift for all ages, and come in mens, womens and kids sizes. All tees are priced under $20 and select varieties run on sale each week. Snorg Tees also offers hoodies for under $30!

Shout-Out ... Let's hear it for your team!!


My hubby and his bro are HUGE Oregon Ducks fans! His bro even has season tickets that are near and dear to his heart. Last weekend, he and my sis-in-law treated me and my hubby to the Stanford game. Great seats to an awesome game ... televised on ESPN! It was a big win, ranking us at #3!! While I don't always pay attention to Saturday game days, I always have so much fun when I get an opportunity to attend a live event and cheer for the Ducks!! The energy at Autzen Stadium is like no other, and celebrating another win is just as grand!!


What team do you represent??

Let The Fun Begin !!




I was contacted by a very sweet consultant of a company called Thirty-One. I was not familiar with this company, but was very excited for the opportunity to experience their products. This is a line of stylish and affordable purses and accessories (such as wallets, cosmetic bags, various totes and more). A unique attribute to this brand is the option of changing out the patterns with easy-to-use slipcovers, or skirts. Taking a basic black or brown purse (classy all its own), and turning into a fashion statement! Just think ... two purses in one!
Here is a brief summary of Thirty-One from their consultant, Mei ...
Thirty-One Gifts is committed to offering high quality monogrammable items that provide style and function at an affordable price.
The Holiday season is fast approaching. If you would like some extra money to help with your Holiday shopping, then joining the team is a perfect opportunity. You can set your own hours, work part time, full time or just finance your own Thirty-One shopping with our 25% consultant discount.
If you are interested in hosting a party to take part in the amazing hostess rewards, let me know and don’t worry if you are not local, catalog parties and online parties are a very easy way to enjoy the benefits of being a hostess.
My website is www.mythirtyone.com/ciaobella where you can go to view the catalog, place an order (the current open party is the Fall Open House), or join the team.
I also have a facebook page where you can find advanced notice on specials and see even more giveaways ....... Bella's Thirty One Gifts.
I am absolutely loving the skirt purse that was sent to me! It is the perfect size and I love how easy it is to change the look! Check out the pics below of my black skirt purse with earl grey blossom skirt!

Foods that pack a punch!


These foods power up your immune system ... we will need all the boosters we can get going into the cold and flu season!

Garlic ... loaded with sulfur-containing compounds that stimulate the multiplication of infection-fighting white blood cells and increases antibodies.

Broccoli ... cooked brocoli contains 123 mg of vitamin C per cup!

Mushrooms ... enhance the function of cytokines which help the body defend against viruses.

Ginger ... contains a plant compound called gingerol that fights cold and flu viruses.

Carrots ... top source of beta carotene which ups the number of infection-fighting cells and helper T-cells.

^Mmmm ... throw all those ingredients in a pan for a yummy stir-fry!!

Ginseng Tea ... just one cup a day triggers a 30% spike in the immune system cells that destroy invading organisms, cutting your risk of infections as much as 40%!

Yogurt ... live cultures, probiotics!! Enough said.

Kiwi and Oranges ... more vitamin C!!

***
Eating healthier not only keeps the weight issues down, but it is extremely important for your immune system and overall health. Eating foods that are good for you doesn't have to be boring ... just keep in mind the benefits and keep a positive energy about it!

A Fond Farewell ...

Wow! Is December already upon us? Good golly this year has flown right by! I have been a busy girl lately, hence the blog break. Unfortu...
