MIA Much?

Hey y'all! I know, long time, no blog. I'm a loser. Anyways, I had a free moment to blog and I seriously did not notice how bad I missed blogging. I feel like y'all are my best of friends and I'm being reunited after six years or something. Wow.

I'm really hoping when school starts this semester I won't have such a hard time adjusting and I'll be able to blog way more often. It's a goal I have for the New Year: be able to blog regularly!

Speaking of goals for this year I have a few that I wanted to share with you. I asked on twitter the other day if anyone has everyone "monthly resolutions" as opposed to a New Year's resolution and if that was easier to accomplish than doing an entire year of a resolution. I think I'm going to try doing something along those lines. So for instance my "goal/resolution/no-buy" for the month is not eating any fast food! Yes, that will be tough, I always turn to McDonald's in a time of doubt, not any longer! Plus, think of how much money I'm saving.

At the beginning of the week I started TurboFire, which is a program similar to P90X, Insanity, ChaLean Extreme, etc. It's one of the Beachbody workouts and I've tried it before but I just wasn't into it and the DVD's have been sitting around for about two years now. I figured since I paid over $100 for them I should at least either use them or sell them and I decided I would try them again, I have to say in the week I've been doing it I'm actually having a lot of fun. The workouts are really intense because the workouts are mostly based around high intensity interval training. I'm tellin' you my booty, legs, abs, arms, ribcage, thighs, everything hurts. It hurts to hand people their clothes at work and even to sit down!

So, I have a few questions/requests for y'all!
1) Do you have any link-ups/accountability parties on your blogs (or do you know of any) relating to eating clean and getting fit? If you personally host one on your blog I would LOVE to check it out! Leave the link in the comment section or you can e-mail me if that's easier.
aimeeguise {at} gmail {dot} com
2) Do you have a board on Pinterest that is based on healthy recipes and getting fit. I think the exercises on Pinterest are some of the best and most effective for doing at home and I find new ones all the time!

If you have any other information to pass along I'd love to hear it. Also, if your goal for the year is to get fit let me know so I can come see your progress and encourage you! Thanks for stoppin' by and have a fabulous day :)

Blog Angels Octoberrrrr

Hey y'all! Ahhh, I think I've literally posted like five times this month. Holy cow. Why must I be so busy?!

Anywho, I've got to let y'all know about this month's Blog Angels experience...

As I told y'all during the middle of the month (the reveal post) I was Angel to Kim. She is such a sweetheart and I feel awful. I'm going to try doing some "angel" activities through November because I didn't do a whole heck of a lot for her in October. If I would have known I was going to be THIS busy all month I wouldn't have signed up.

I know I said in the reveal post that I really liked praying for the blogger I was working with and this month I definitely did extra of that. Kim lives in New York so I've been trying to keep in touch with her and pray for her safety. As far as I know she is safe and sound but it sounds like a lot of NYC is just a mess. I cannot imagine.

A few of the other things I did this month for Kim was putting her button on my sidebar, tweeting one of her giveaways, entering her giveaways, commenting on her blog, and tweeting at her a few times. I feel like I've done an okay job at helping her out but I definitely want to extend my hand out to her this next month and get to know her more! She has been so sweet all month.

I didn't think I would like the "reveal" being mid-month but I actually think I like it better, if we wouldn't have done the reveal I think I would have struggled so much more than what I am right now. Plus, I liked finding out who my angel was so early on. My lovely angel was Jessica, the biggest sweetheart around. She went above and beyond being my angel, bless her heart. I hope we can continue staying in touch in blogland! Thank you for all you've done and if there is anything I can do for you let me know!

P.S. Jessica has a Pinterest link up on Thursdays that you should go join! Her most recent Pinterest post was all about Halloween, check it out here! She is a pin hoarder like me :)

Pinterest Crushes {Halloween Edition}

Hey y'all! I seriously cannot believe Halloween is three days away! Where did October go!? Since it's so close and I didn't even decorate my dang house this year (obviously slacking over here!) I decided to link up with my girl Jessica for her Pinterest Thursdays. I know I'm like three days late but better late than never!

Jessica is my blog angel for the month and I'm so happy for everything she's done! She is such a doll :)

Okay so...I'm not even dressing up this year. I didn't decorate. The most I've done is change my Scentsy scents for fall and I plan on wearing a black shirt and orange scarf Wednesday. I've never really been into Halloween to be totally honest. When I was about four I told my parents I did not want to go trick or treating and I made my mom go buy color crayons and coloring books and we delivered them to the kids in the hospital. And I'm pretty sure I was a witch for like eight years in a row...because my favorite movie is Hocus Pocus, duh!

If I ever do get the chance to dress up here are some things I want to be...

If I wasn't a ginger and a princess I would be Ursula. I think this costume is legit. Source.

Which means I obviously have to be Ariel. Duh. I don't think I could ever just wear a bra though... Source.

Believe me I want to gag because Kim K. went as Poison Ivy but this was the most unique costume I found on Pinterest. If I ever am her I'll make my own for sure. Source.

Some decorations I really like include...

I think this subway inspired sign would be so cute with some hay bales and pumpkins on the porch! Source.

This is so cute for when you have kids and a two story house! Source.

Cutest way to line the driveway! Inexpensive and could be a project with the whole family! 

I adore this. I believe you can purchase one similar on Etsy if you don't have time/aren't creative enough to make it! Source.

Well, there ya have it! All the most adorable Halloween ideas that I'll probably never make. I'm such a pin hoarder. I honestly have made probably less than five things I've ever pinned! One day....one day. Kiss kiss loves!

P.S. GO check out Jessica's blog. It's darling and she is the SWEETEST!
