what time is it?

Posted on October 22, 2010 by Andi

Time for a new snazzy watch! That's what time it is!

Someone posted this link recently and I fell in love!

I added a pink one to my wish list right away!

I have no idea what they are like in person and I don't even care. I just know that I want one! I think you should add one to your wish list, too!

boots

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Andi

I decided I wanted some new boots. So I have been hunting online for the cheapest deal I can get for cute shoes. Of course, Target came to my rescue yet again. I ordered these:

Aren't they cute?! Here's the kicker…they are kids shoes! So they are even cheaper. And if I bought them online, I got one pair 1/2 off. Yes, please! So I got these two pairs of boots and I am so excited to wear them with everything!

I do have a pair of black boots currently, but they have a pretty high heel and I just haven't been very comfortable in my heels in a while. I have been wearing flat shoes so often that when I wear heels, it just doesn't feel right. So these are going to be perfect. I even got them approved by my very stylish friend, Hillary. If she thinks they are cute, I know I am going to LOVE them!

*UPDATE* I DO love them! I have found reasons to wear them just about every day since I got them in the mail! I have also gotten a ton of compliments on them! Yay for kids shoes! 🙂

kimono dresses

Posted on September 17, 2010 by Andi

I bought a few of these dresses in a couple colors shortly after I found out I was pregnant. It was still warm outside and I knew I was going to get bigger. I am so glad I did. They are so comfortable and so versatile. I can make them casual or dressed up. I am sure I will even wear them into the winter with tights and boots!

laptop tray

Posted on May 25, 2010 by Andi

I like to sit with my laptop on my lap on the couch. Yeah, yeah. I know they aren't really supposed to be for your lap. They get hot and blah blah blah They should have named them something else then! 🙂

But I also love my heated blanket. And I REALLY can't use my laptop when I have that heated blanket on. And given the choice between the two, the heated blanket wins. (Hence why I haven't been posting much lately!)

I had been thinking about getting something to put under my laptop so I could still use my heated blanket…even if the blanket wasn't on. But then, in true Andi form, I promptly forgot about it. Thankfully, my hubby has a better memory than I do and picked this little guy up for me.

You can plug it into your laptop via USB and it turns on a fan to keep your laptop cool and prevents overheating.

So now I can use my laptop AND my heated blanket! That makes one happy Andi!

sweaters

Posted on May 10, 2010 by Andi

I am always cold. Therefore, I need sweaters in my wardrobe. Not just a couple. A lot. In every color preferably!

The ones I bought 2 years ago to wear over everything are getting worn out. So I was in the market for some new ones. And then I came across these beauties…ON SALE!

I love them! I have received many compliments on them. I love the girly feel to them. They go with everything! I found these at Macy's a few weeks ago in case you are in the market for something like this, too!

heart rate monitor

Posted on May 5, 2010 by Andi

I love my new heart rate monitor! I recently mentioned that the previous one I had met it's death. Well, the chest strap for the one I had did not have any way to change the battery in it. So after having it for a number of years, it died. Chuck decided to see if he could get it open and replace the battery. This is where the chest strap died. Chuck very carefully cut his way inside it, but it just wasn't feasible to change the battery and get it back together. Now I could have gotten a new chest strap, but after trying out Chuck's while I was running, I knew I had to have one that counted the calories you burned.

So Chuck did some research on them and gave me a few options (the ones that seemed to be best for what I wanted). So I looked them over and decided on the FT40 from Polar! Isn't it a beauty!?

Yes, it's green! It also has little flowers on it! I think it's adorable. Mind you, my arm is SO tiny that it looks huge on it, but I still love it!

I have used it a number of times for running, bike riding, a walk around a lake. I can't say enough good things about it!

new camera

Posted on April 15, 2010 by Andi

Chuck recently got me a new camera. We had been talking about getting a small camera that you could throw in your pocket. So he did some research and we ended up getting this beauty!

It's so pretty. It's a Canon SD3500. I love it! It has a touch screen and a bunch of other fun features. Chuck decided on a Canon because my previous camera (which still works, just a little bulky) was a Canon and I was already familiar with the features and the way it works. He was going to get me a pink one! But I said I would rather have silver so this way he would use it, too! (It also make a nice matching sibling to the other one I have!)

I carry it with me all the time! I love that it doesn't take up much space and I can have it on hand should a picture moment arise!

I am also terrible about uploading my pictures and taking them off my camera. So I had Chuck look into EyeFi.

It is a memory card for your camera and it miraculously uploads your pictures via WiFi and puts them on your computer. It can also upload it to a few websites, too.

So when you turn your camera on and your computer is on, they will link up! It's amazing to watch! It's so fast! And I have all my pictures uploaded to use when I get around to posting anything on my website! 🙂 And I never have to take out the memory card! I always hated taking out the card to upload pictures because inevitably, I would leave without it in the camera. Ooops!

So overall, I am ecstatic about my new camera. If you are in the market for a new camera, I would definitely consider giving this one a look!

And if you aren't in the market for a new camera, I would go out and buy one of these EyeFi cards ASAP! You won't regret it!

water

Posted on January 9, 2010 by Andi

One of my New Years resolutions was to drink more water. This is being aided by the couple of water bottles I got for Christmas. One of them was this one:

I love it! I use it all the time. My goal is to drink 5 bottles full a day. So far I have done quite well. Since I like using it so much, I told myself I would only fill it with water and nothing else. This way, if I want to use the bottle, I need to drink water.

Hopefully I can keep this up all year!

rockstar pink

Posted on January 8, 2010January 10, 2012 by Andi

This is the other pink glitter color I found. I just love it. It is much more pink looking in person. It's a bit darker than the other one I have, but I am not afraid of color on my nails.

I also found a great website called Polish Mayhem and she posts pictures of all sorts of nail polish colors on her hands. This is where I got this picture. It's nice to see the colors on instead of in the bottle. It will also make you want every color in the rainbow! 🙂

incipio

Posted on January 7, 2010April 5, 2016 by Andi

I got a new phone case recently. Mine tore on one of the corners and around the same time, a friend of mine got this case and I knew I had to have it!

It's a soft case, but is made of a very hard gel. It's fantastic. It's also very thin and not bulky. And of course, I got it in pink! (Surprise surprise!)

If you are interested, you can see more pictures of it HERE. I bought mine online from the AT&T store and they had free shipping and it came really quickly. I was very pleased. You can find it in the store, too (that's where my friend got her's), but you may have more color options online.
