Spring Breaks of past...where we were a year ago...so much has changed...we had headed to NYC to Diana's final dance comp of the season
What I'm Loving
Banana Republic Factory
I have been a fan for awhile because of the great deals and the fact that I can get both professional and casual attire here. I am LOVING their spring/summer attire, especially the suiting for my jobs- check it out-this beautiful summer suit- love the professionalism and yet the comfort and ease it portrays

"The Crash" by Frieda McFadden
Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn't realize she's heading straight into a blizzard.
She never arrives at her destination.
Stranded in rural Maine with a dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she's made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle occurs: she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears.
But something isn't right. Tegan believed she was waiting out the storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realize she is in grave danger. This safe haven isn't what she thought it was, and staying here may have been her most deadly mistake yet.
And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself―and her unborn child.
This was good- not one of my faves of hers but suspenseful and a quick read

Part of my newer health journey has been embracing Herbalife products- whether it be with the daily teas- an occasional protein shake or even mini blondies and brownies. The owner of Revitalize has taught me how to make these treats at home- helps to stay on track AND save money and I have really thrived with their products :)
That's a wrap! Can't wait to read all about What's Up With YOU!
