omyg congrats and phuket!

congratulations to juliana @ a blonde walks into a blog for winning the stella + dot giveaway! 

i love being an independent stylist for stella + dot and am so glad to introduce y'all to their jewelry!

AND thank you to KAG - i was the winner of her huephoria wine glass giveaway and am so excited to receive it in the mail!

now, my real question...katharine mcphee:

 

she is absolutely gorgeous and so talented - i don't really like her first CD because i'm not really into R&B but you can still tell how incredible her voice is - why did she never become super popular?  she also has a ridiculously good figure, and she used to have beautiful long brown hair (although they've cropped it and bleached it for her new CD)...weiiiiiiiiird, i wonder if this CD will help her blow up more?

anyways!! i have been MIA for so long (i have a ridiculous amount of posts to catch up on!!) because we have been in phuket, thailand!

last night, we visited a strip club that involved balloons and darts in the show...seriously.  and our hotel is incredible - three pools, private jacuzzi that opens up to the pool with a swim up pool bar, just amazing!  only thing...there is one king sized bed.  it's me and three guys.  

ha! now get your mind out of the gutter...our time so far has involved them getting into flexing fights in front of the mirror, racking up what i can only imagine will be thousands of dollars on the bar tab, and accidentally matching...with the only clothes they brought off the ship. 

and before i forget, i wanted to say a HUGE thanks to Beth @ Social Climbers and Jennifer @ Southern Living: Preppy Style - they both sent books to me on the ship because they were doing a book exchange and i couldn't participate (our library is full of military history and weird sci-fi) so i was SO excited when we received mail and i got some amazing girly books to read!!

ok, have to get back to watching more lipstick jungle (finished all of gossip girl season 2 - AMAZING!) and working out...i was told yesterday during the hours of drinking and pooling that while my legs were 'great, [you] just need to tighten up your core'.  men.
