Click the above image, I dare you, and check out me wishlist!


You know that thing when you see someone cute
and he smiles and your heart kind of goes like warm butter
 sliding down hot toast?
Well that's what it's like when I see a store.
 Only it's better!

Confessions of a Shopaholic 

I have this sick obsession.. I am a shopaholic. It’s even worse to think that a book was written about me, “Rebecca”! Ok, so the book wasn’t exactly written about me, but the storyline came pretty dang close and somehow we share the same super-cool name! There’s no other way to say this, but, I love to shop! I’m so bad that my friends husbands shudder when they find out their wives are shopping with, sweet innocent shopaholic Rebecca. I don’t know why it’s such a bad thing to bump into me during one of my shopping excursions, but somehow my friends husbands call at that exact moment. It’s like they know!! How scary is that? Then the girls get into super trouble and their lives threatened if they spend more than they’re allowed.  It can’t possibly have anything to do with princess dropping a rather not-so large sum in less than 14-days, at a few department stores you can’t prove I was in,.. *Gasp*, I Would Never!

Peach-Berry Bliss Smoothie

It’s nearly 11:30 a.m., and the summer heat is already nearing 100°F. BK and I are finally home from our morning of training, BK on the football field and I at the fitness center .   
As we drove home, our stomachs growled fiercely, craving something cool and refreshing. We dreamed up a smoothie concoction sweetened with a sweet-tart flavor of peaches and strawberries. Now to hurry down the country road to find refuge in our air-conditioned home.   
As soon as we pulled into the driveway I bolted for the kitchen to put my brain to work, in an effort to make a smoothie so good it boasts an explosion of thirst-quenching flavors.
This is what I came up with, hope you enjoy it!
Be safe and stay cool in this summer heat! Xoxo
Love to all,
-Bec
