Trying something new

I've always been a skeptic when it came to getting your nails done. I've seen what acrylics do to the finger nail and did my best to stay away from it especially since I have frail nails. A good friend told me about this gel thing they use now that doesn't damage the nail so the idea started growing. Another friend has been nagging at me to go with her. After trying to put it off for a while I finally agreed. I truly feel like I've been living in a box, why didn't I try this sooner!? The funny thing is at the salon there were guys getting the treatment too!
I loved the experience and now counting down the days until I go get my nails done again!!! My new obsession! LOL

Magic Kingdom...not so Magic!


Ever since I was a kid I’ve always heard great things about Disney’s Magic Kingdom.  My family couldn’t afford to take us.  I just knew that one day I would experience the “Magic” everyone was talking about.
First time we went was in last year in December, I did not have a good experience because I was so nauseated and there were wayyy to many people. I figured maybe we came at a bad time.

We decided to go up this weekend to the Magic kingdom to try to finish exploring the whole park. Once again we there were soo many people. C’mon this if February when does it quiet down!? It took like 55 minutes just to enter the park. Slightly annoyed I tried to stay calm. My hubby is like I’m surprised there is no violence anywhere with these massive lines..LOL

Once inside there was barely any room to walk around. Everyone was going in different directions. Tons of strollers passing each other with passed out kids high on sugar and junk food. The wait to see the fairy princess’s was like 50 minutes long and it got worse from there. Almost all the rides had a wait time of 70 minutes or more, we were shocked! So obviously we couldn’t stay in lines that long for one primary reason our daughter who is only 3 would not enjoy the wait. Surprisingly my 3 year old behaved very well.

We walked around, did some basic simple things like ride the train and spent money on food that was way overpriced! Soon it was time for the main st. parade. We got our spots and sat as the characters made their way down. It was funny to see how many kids didn’t even care for them and many were just sleeping. I also noticed how ALL the adults were taking pictures of them as though they were celebrities in their eyes. I thought to myself “are these people insane!?” LOL.. Their kids had no interest and they were drooling over the Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Aladin, etc.

After 6 hours at the park and overheated I could barely walk. I suggested we start heading back to our hotel and enjoy the pool. No one protested so we made our way to the monorail. It took like 45 minutes for us to just get to the car.

A friend from Europe made fun of people at Disney saying how lazy people are having their 4 and 5 years olds in strollers. But honestly I wish I had a stroller for me! LOL The Park is enormous and maybe having this extra 25 lbs on me wasn’t helping the situation. I felt irritable, hot and cluster phobic. This was not enjoyable to me!  How could people want to do this so often and how in the world do so many people handle this in the summer???

I told my hubby that we should only bring our kids there when they are a lot older and maybe try to go to the park just the two of us to tolerate the waits and the mass crowds.

My Trainer was MIA this morning



I was looking forward to my boxing session with my trainer this morning! I get to the gym, do half an hour of speed walking and when I went to find my trainer he was nowhere to be found! I called and texted him but no response. I hope he’s ok.

Even though I hate when people don’t show on time or are unreliable it was nice to have all these other trainers coming up asking if they could help me, and even offered to train me!

Showered with gifts!

My love bug was so excited to go to school today! She picked out a pretty Red Dress for Valentine's Day Party! She walked into her classroom and immediately joy filled her face! There were balloons and all kinds of decorations all over the place! I knew she would have a great day!

When I went to pick her up she had so many gifts with her and two heart Balloons! She was talking so fast about all the fun she had and all the gifts she got! When we got home she showed us the gift she made us, a picture frame with her photo inside followed by the sweetest words ever "Happy Valentine's Mommy and Daddy, I love you!" That melted my heart! What an amazing day!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful loving Valentine's day!

Happy Valentine's Day!


Wow I'm impressed! Not because these are Organic Roses but also because there is something about watching my husband working hard in the kitchen making us a Hazelnut, Dulce de Leche Cake using the finest ingredients for Valentine's! He's such an amazing cook! He knows how to spoil his girls with sweets! Happy Valentine's Day!

Can't wait for our munchkin to get her little surprise from mommy and daddy at school!

SNOBBY RICH WOMEN...Can't Stand them!


There was this one experience that I will never forget of a selfish rich woman that I came across my path that's worthy of mentioning.

This past summer we made a trip to Miami Seaquarium. My daughter was so excited, she just wanted to be everywhere at once. You know how there are always certain shows that are scheduled through out the day. We had already seen a few.

Our last stop was the Flipper show. We got there early, got great seats. My hubby and I always talk in English and can quickly spot Russian people. So these two Russian women sit next to us and put their 2 kids I would assume ages 4 or 5 in front of us. As the stadium got filled up more kids were sitting next to these 2 Russian Children. A few moments later I see this woman walking up the steps with a massive branded bag, giant sunglasses, massive rock on her hand and branded clothing. You can tell by the way she walked that she expected the world to bow down to her. I think its hysterical because underneath all that materialistic stuff is an insecure little person.

Anyways she starts walking in the row in front of us where the 2 Russian children are sitting. As she flips her hair as though she's all that and swings her shoulder, her massive bag flew into the little boy sitting right in front of me and almost hit his head on the concrete floor. The Russian woman sitting on the right of me jumps from her seat to try to help her son and pushed the bag out of his face. The Snobby Rich woman started screaming at the Russian woman for Touching her. I could tell the Russian woman had a hard time verbalizing that the her son just got hit with a massive bag and could have been worse. But the Snob could care less about the kid. She sat in the row in front of us next to a little girl and started hugging her and shouting down the row to someone saying how she almost got knocked down. She just kept going on and on about how this woman pushed her. At that point I've had enough of this idiot. Quick with my words and a stern voice I said " EXCUSE ME you almost knocked the life out of this poor little kid, and all you care about is YOU and YOUR Bag??? What kind of an example are you showing your daughter?"

This Lady looked as though someone just punched her in the face, I guess no one has ever stood up to her before. The second Russian woman quickly ran out of the row. The Snob started yelling down the row to a FAT male guy about how RUDE I was to her. My hubby jumped in and started backing me up as well. Then this guy starts yelling at us. I'm like " This is non of your business she almost killed a kid with her bag and doesn't even acknowledge it or even apologized for it." The guy keeps rambling saying he saw the whole thing even though he's like 20 feet away. I started laughing at him and went back to the SNOB. "you need to say sorry to this kid immediately" she pretended not to hear me.  At that point the 2nd Russian woman returned with a security guard that has instructed her to LEAVE immediately!

I had a similar incident in upstate New York while grocery shopping with my love bug. I was at the seafood section of the grocery store getting a few different types of fish. It wa about 10AM. The guy behind the counter was really friendly and started telling me where the fish has come from and how good it is for you.

A Snob who fits the profile of the woman above rushes in and starts tapping her foot. I look at her with a friendly smile and she has the nerve to give me a dirty look. I told the guy you know what why don't you help her I'm not in a rush. But what got me was this woman continued to be rude even though I had given her my turn. She didn't say thank you she gave me another dirty look. I understand I am a bit younger than you but you DO NOT rule the world. Of course I couldn't hold it in and said " Excuse me that was really rude of you" So then she proceeded to say how rude I was to have a conversation with the fish guy when she is in a RUSH....I almost burst out laughing. I told her if she was in a rush she should have planned her schedule a little better, allowing enough time to get HER fish. I love how these SNOBs react when someone stands up to them...She grabbed her fish and screamed  "B****" at me as she ran off and my come back was, "That's all you got??" The fish guy was like...can you believe this.??..and I'm like yeah but I'm glad I just gave her a piece of reality! She is no one and needs to stop acting like she rules the world.

I hope with both these experiences my darling learns to help the less fortunate and stand up for herself. It is never OK to let people mistreat you no matter how much money or power they have.

Trashy Women at the gym

Dropped of my daughter at school and headed to the gym. As I'm working out on the 2nd level of my gym I really enjoy people watching. One thing I do not enjoy is seeing women with barely anything on! Why do they think its attractive to go to the gym in a sports bra and something that resembles boy short undies?

As the females rotate the weight machines at the gym I start to wonder, do they like putting their flesh on this not so sanitary equipment? What do they think about as they sit down and almost nothing covers their bottom? I can't help myself but judge these trashy women! Why? Honestly I really want to know what goes through their stupid brain?? Do they like attention? Do they feel insecure with themselves that they have to show it all to the world? Do they like meat heads checking them out?? Don't get me wrong I love putting on my bikini and flaunting it at the beach, but at the gym?? Maybe I'm missing something here. All I can say is these women do not respect themselves or their version of respect is super messed up!

This is not the first time I'm coming across this and as you know I like to get the male version of this nonsense. My observation is this: You are what you attract. Good men do not like women flaunting their assets anywhere. Good men like when women preserve what God Gave them. Trashy men, well they like TRASH!

As I headed downstairs and saw the face of the half naked woman it hits me like a ton of bricks that her daughter would play with my daughter in the day care at the gym! This infuriated me soo much, how could this mother be setting such a disgusting example for her daughter????? Ok, I must admit I am a bit uptight about what I expose my daughter to but seriously this is crazy!!! At that very moment I just wanted to slap that women for setting a slutty example for her daughter, but I kindly smiled and walked on.

Our children watch our every move, if you want to raise a good girl you have to lead by example!
