USA USA USA!

I'm finally back from Miami! I picked up the puppies and snugged hard with them last night. It felt so good. I'll do a trip recap, which is mostly food related seeing as it was a work trip, next week. Today though, I'm back in the office and will be spending the majority of the day catching up on emails! I wanted to pop in with a friendly reminder that the United States plays Canada in the Semi Finals for men's hockey today at noon est. It will be a revenge rematch for America, after losing to Canada for the gold medal in overtime in the the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Although I admittedly know very little about hockey, I'm going to be watching online doing my very best to learn quickly and cheer for my country.

Now I of course know that not everyone that reads this blog is from America, but during the olympics, you gotta show your pride for your home country! Normally, I'm pretty neutral on the blog, but today I gotta rep that USA! USA! USA! 

Oh, and yesterday I found out that I made the top 3 nominated over at My So-Called Chaos in the authentic artist category, the favorite all time category and most beautiful blog category. There is some pretty steep competition, seeing as I adore every other blog in each of my categories, but if you go vote for me, you can count on a birthday party invitation in your mailbox come December 17th.

Yummie

Leggings c/o Yummie 

Back in December I wrote a post called "Things I can't seem to find." On that 7 item list was leggings. I've only been able to find either black jeans or tights or yoga pants. Tights are not pants and so many leggings on the market just seem to fall down when you walk, or are just all around, unflattering. Well a company called Yummie read my cry for help, and tweeted me offering to send a pair of their leggings to try. Oh and for all you Bravo fanatics, this company was created by Heather Thomson from Real Housewives NYC! Cool, huh?

Their product line, everything from tank tops to jeans, are designed to slim, shape and make women look and feel their absolute best. And that is exactly how these leggings make me feel. They fit like a glove, are thick enough to actually classify as leggings (not flimsy tights) and are hands down the most comfortable pants I've ever put on. I could sleep in these leggings, they are so nice and comfy. As I've mentioned about a million times, I'm really self-conscious about my big ole booty, but these leggings are so slimming that I actually feel comfortable and confident about my shape! I'm wearing the basic black, but they also come in a bunch of different colors and patterns.

I know you will love them as much as I do!
