March in Review

I'm baaaaaaaaack!!!!!  Talk about a month and half hiatus!  I'd like to say it was because I was doing something important like saving the world but really I was just busy doing other things.  Not to say this blog isn't important but you know what I mean ;-)

Ook so before I tell ya about last month, I just have to share my latest jamicure that I love love love!  The wrap is in Cherry-O and the red is Tru Shine's Candy Apple.  Gorgeous!    The jams are actually juniors so technically it's for the lil girls.  But I love cherries and just had to get this since they didn't come in the regular size.   So ladies, it's quite doable to use the larger sizes of the jam juniors if they have a design you really love!   Plus they were discontinuing cherry-o too...boo hoo!

Ok March.....we went to the Cherry Blossom Festival.  I've always wanted to check this out and now that I went I don't have to go again.  Waaaaay tooooo crowded!  It is nice to check out if you've never gone though.  So if you do go next year, make sure you get tickets online ahead of time.  Then you can just bypass the ridiculously long ass line and head to the front.  I can't believe people will actually wait hours for anything...

We went to eat after the festival and this has to be one of many faves of mine...

My parents stayed with us for the whole month as well as my sister and brother for one of the extended weekends.  Wish my youngest brother was able to make it out!  So a lot of fun just spending time with them, celebrated my brother's birthday and just our usual shenanigans......

We all did some yard work on our eye sore of a back yard......




I met my new girl crush, Padma Lakshmi....dang her for being so smart, gorgeous and nice!



Of course since mom and dad were here, the hubs and I had to take as many date nights as we could and we went to San Fran for a quick weekend getaway!  Met up with my besties Cheryl and Teresa, who lives there,  as well as a couple good friends Lethu and Kelly who live up there as well.  Always a fun time in this city, especially the food!  Too many food pics to post but my faves for the weekend would have to be the kouign amanns from B Patisserie, the tea salad from Burma Love and everything at Lers Ros....must check those out if you are in town!!!





I'm also very excited to share with you all my latest business venture- joining Beautycounter as a consultant!  I will post more on this amazing brand but I've been using the skin care products and some of the cosmetics for a month now and I am soooooo in love.  They're high performing, luxurious and most importantly safe for your skin- none of those icky ingredients that have been tied to cancer, infertility and hormone disruption- to name a few.  If you are interested in safer skin care for you and the family, then I would love to help you!!!!  www.beautycounter.com/bernadettelugo
