Busy Monday & New Bodysprays

Mondays are always the busiest day of the week for me.  I am always slammin ‘n jammin handling emails, phone calls, work, errands, life, you name it.

I took time to inhale ingest some plants.

I went to town on my sale fruit finds.  I am practical that way.

Bag of grapes

I love it when grapes are super crunchy.  These were perfect.

And with the sale bananas, I made some “baked” pumpkin pie spice bananas

From my trip to the mall yesterday, I neglected to mention that I also stocked up on bodysprays!

Three bottles of various body sprays

I have worn Dark Kiss for a few months and dig it.  Black Amethyst is something I wore a year or so ago.  Both of these are heavier, more “sexy scents”.  The words of Bath & Body Works, not mine.

Carried Away is their newest scent.  It has jasmine in it and I love it.  It’s light and spring-like.

I made time for an quick workout with some core work on my ball and a little yoga, too.  It’s gorgeous here (77F and sunny!) and I went for a run in my sports bra and shorts before I did my indoor workout moves.

I’m glad you enjoyed my last post about What I Did While They were Watching the Game.  Shopping always beats tv for me.  And glad I could help you out with my MAC makeup tipSave your containers!

Seems like many of you blew off the game, too.  But for the die hard fans I hope you enjoyed all that screaming and shouting and tackling.

Questions:

1. Best thing you ate or did over the weekend?

Mine was going shopping with Skylar.

She loves going to the MAC store and Bath and Body Works with me.  She practices smelling all the scents at B&BW and at MAC her eyes are as big as saucers with all that makeup!  Then again, I think my eyes still light up when I see all that makeup.

2. What’s your busiest day of the week?

Mine is Mondays, hands down.  Everyone seems to “need” me on email, on the phone, and life just seems so busy for me on Mondays!  My work at least is usually quieter on Mondays.  It’s crazy when going to work is a reprieve from the Monday Insanity of my personal life.

3. Are you a body spray fan?  Any favorites?

I am a huge fan!  See this post for some of my faves.

I rotate through them but love vanilla scents, the scents I showed in this post of course, also Velvet Tuberose from B&BW, and there are some from Victoria’s Secret that I like, too.

From Target/drugstore, I really like this Dove one.

Have a great night!

  1. Best thing on the weekend: getting outside in the fresh air to do some snowshoeing.

    My busiest day is also Monday. Back to work, home for dinner, then off for “girls night” with my friend and her daughter (and their dog). Back home, make lunch for next day, check email, chat with hubby, go to bed.

    Haven’t tried body sprays, as I’m sensitive to perfumes and scented products.

  2. i LOVE body spray! mainly because the scents are soooo much nicer smelling than perfumes! i like fruity smells so im all about that :D
    the busiest day for me is always Monday’s too-! probably because its just that much harder to get back into things after the weekend!

  3. Hello! I have not been around for a while, and I have to say your site looks AMAZING! I love the re-vamp! Your amazing, as always, and I am glad that you made it through your busy Monday.

    I love my grapes extra crunchy too!
    Love!

  4. 1. just hanging with my kids
    2. busiest day , probably twice a month Fridays
    2. Used to love these, have not tracked down one good lately

  5. Best thing i did and ate this weekend: hanging out with my family for superbowl. my 5 mo old nephew would cry every time we would shout and cheer for the packers. lol he’s adorable!
    burgers my sis and i seasoned were perfectly bbq’d by my brother. it was an awesome day.

  6. Monday is the busiest, hands down! Love getting through that day because the rest of the days aren’t so nuts by comparison (even if they’re still pretty nuts!) :)

  7. I do believe I am the die hard fan you refer to…link doesn’t work. I’ll just assume its me and that I won the award! :)

    I don’t think I have a busiest day. They all seem equally busy lately. Today was (is) crazy though!

  8. Crunchy grapes are where it’s at! I have to keep them in the fridge or they become disgusting to me within hours.
    I cannot believe how adorable your daughter is. She always seems so happy, which is awesome, because certainly not all kids are like that!
    The weather was gorgeous here in Santa Monica too. Gotta love southern California!
    Best thing I did over the weekend – definitely camping at Joshua Tree National Park. So. incredibly. beautiful.

    1. i didnt know you lived in Santa Monica…and yes, it’s gorg there (in general!)

      Camping at Joshua Tree, awesome.

      Thanks for the compliments on Skylar. We are blessed…she IS such a joy! :)

  9. I love body sprays! Bath and Bodyworks has so many fun options for little $.

    Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog– I know it sounded kind of like a “I’m quitting” post, but I’m totally not!!! Just trying to go the route of quality over quantity…I know you’ve done the same thing and totally get where I’m coming from :-)

  10. We took the boys to eat at a local Mexican restaurant Saturday night, they love tacos!

    We did watch the game, we are football fans but this year wasn’t as exciting.

    I would have to say Monday’s are my busiest and sometimes Wednesday’s are.

    I love body sprays..Japanese Cherry Blossom is my fav at B&BW & Lovespell from VS.

  11. Wednesdays are my busiest day because I have work all day, and then class in the evening.
