Fashion Friday - Boyfriend Jeans
Now, they have become her staple piece of her wardrobe. They are cute, comfy, and down right fabulous! I love the bootcuts and skinny jeans, but after search and researching these style of jeans, I think I may have to invest in a pair...especially if I continue to get to my goal weight/size! In fact, there is my incentive. 10 lbs and I will have to go purchase one of these little babies!
Here are some low cost and super cute options I put together using polyvore!
The Linkup is right here! So just link it up! |

Lipstick LOVER!!!
Okay all you makeup lovers out there! Is there anyone who is seriously obsessed....I mean OBSESSED with lipstick??
I don't know what it is but since I was young I always LOVED bright and bold lip colors on women. Reds, Pinks, Plums...you name it I love it. I have noticed a bold lipstick trend starting to really work it's way back in to the makeup world and I, for one, am stoked!
While I am a HUGE fan of MAC, my ultimate favorite is Cover Girl's lip perfection line. Every time I am at the drug store I find myself gravitating towards the Cover Girl section to take a look at the lip colors and any new ones that may have arrived.
Which is your favorite? I love finding new colors all the time!

WeightNot Wednesday!
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The WeightNot has come.....to my house. {That was in my Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson voice, just in case you were wondering!} OMG! It took forever and I was extremely disappointed in the length of time it took to get to my house and the customer service with the organization. Not a way I wanted to start of this program!
I ordered this back in the beginning of February and then after 2 weeks of not hearing anything I emailed the person who was so desperately wanting my $$$ and to sign up and a week later....I still hadn't heard anything from her. So, I emailed back but this time with a tone that wasn't as pleasant as I had been previously. That got her. She finally emailed back the next day saying my package was set to ship on the 13th....well guess what? The 13th came and went and still no package as of the 19th. It finally shipped out the day after that or so. Anyway, I wasn't happy about that at all!
Okay on to the good stuff!
The program is WAYYYYY different than when I did it previously. There are no injections, and while it is a low calorie diet, it's not as low as before. That said....it is wayyyy more expensive than I remember paying. I paid a little over $1600 for the 67 day program. That is about a $600+ difference than before.
What is in my Kit?
I started Monday and have already lost 3.4 pounds! So all that complaining is was kind of worth it in the end. It is always great to see a good jump to keep you going.
The first two days however, was this liquid only diet. In the AM and PM I had to drink 2 scoops of the berry flavored NutriScription fiber supplement and take 3 of the NutriScription oral supplements. Let me see how to describe thisdelicious drink. Okay, it tastes like berry flavored dirt! It is so nasty it takes every ounce of my being to suck down this crap. The pills smell horrible and make me nauseated. I was starving and the only good thing was because I mixed the fiber supplement with water I could have 2 glasses of pure fruit juice throughout the day. Let me tell you, fruit juice never tasted so good.
That said, all that complaining, bitching, and feeling down right horrible paid off though. And today, when I get to eat my meals I will savor each and very bite.
So what's next? Well for the remaining 5 days I get to be on a 1200 calorie diet. I will continue with the fiber and supplements, but I will now add a liver primer supplement. In the AM I can have a serving of fruit and protein...since I am allergic to eggs, I think I will try hummus. In the afternoon I can have a serving of veggies and protein, and in the PM I can have a serving of fruit, veggie, and protein.
Of course there is the 2 liter minimum water intake which is really important, that I am doing as well.
So this is pretty much my start of the program. From now until I finish my program each Wednesday will be a WeightNot Program update!
Here's to getting fit and healthy! xoxo

Influenster Sugar 'N Spice VoxBox First Reaction!
I'm not sure if I told you all but I am a member of influenster, which is basically a website in which you work up your points of being an "influencer" in the world and if you meet the requirements for the current box of products they are putting together they send you one. It is free to sign up and I should mention that I didn't pay for any of these products. They were sent to me courtesy of influenster and the box sponsors.
Part of the requirement for getting the box is to post reviews on your blog or post videos and such which is why I am posting about. But I also wanted to get the word out to you as well. You don't necessarily have to have a blog to sign up or if you are looking for a reason to start a blog this would be a good way to start!
Sugar 'N Spice VoxBox
This is my first official VoxBox that I have received from them and I was truly excited! Especially with the name Sugar 'N Spice!
So my first reaction is "oh, this wasn't really what I was expecting with the name Sugar 'N Spice" and then I thought "awesome!! I love all the tooth care items, and the face wipes!" I also was excited to see the belVita breakfast biscuits because I keep hearing commercials on my radio program about them each morning (honestly I thought it was Velveeta at first, which sounded disgusting)!
There was also a Vaseline product in the box, which I was intrigued by. Spray lotion. SPRAY LOTION! Sweet holy Moses! What an awesome concept!! So I am dying to try all these products.
I will say I already ate the belVita breakfast biscuit and oh my goodness it was good!! I loved after bite of it! I'm actually going tonight to pick up more. My kids will love these for breakfast in the morning!
So are you an influencer? Join influenster here! Tell me which product is most intriguing to you?

Sephora VIB WIN!! Jasmine Palette Review
Now before ANYONE asks, I purchased this with my own dinero! Oh, and Sephora is not paying me to do this review!
Anything Disney related I can't seem to resist; it's a problem really. I already purchased the Cinderella Storylook Palette (Vol. 1). When that first came out! So of course when the Sephora Storylook Palette Vol. 2 Princess Jasmine Collection came out I HADDDD to get it!
The shadows have a good amount of pigmentation, and if I wasn't so pale, you may just be able to see "Ali Ababwa" & "Sand in the Glass" but I am & you can't...well you may be able to see the glisten of the "Sand in the Glass" shadow.
To be honest, I think this is a great palette for my olive and dark skinned sexy layyyydayyyyys! Once the summer hits I think this is going to be my go-to palette!
Below is a close up of all the colors on my skin! Which is your favorite?!!
Are you a V.I.B.? I think we need to have a SSA...Sephora Shoppers Anonymous! Who's in??

Have you heard of Brandslane?
Hi Everyone! I was recently contacted by Elle Fa from Brandslane.com to do post about her website. Of course as always I was intrigued by her email and decided to ask more questions and find out more about her site & brand.
So what is Brandslane excatly? Brandslane is a great resource for the fashionista wanting to know the latest trends, sales, and updates from some of their favorite brands, boutiques, and designers. AND it is free!
Basically, Brandslane takes newsletters from all tons of boutiques and designers (such as marc by marc jacobs, spiegel, armani, kohls ...etc. you get the point) and puts them all in to one place and sends it to you, the subscriber, in to one daily email.
When I realized what they do I first thought....What the heck! Why didn't I think of this! and then I thought SCHWEEEEEET!!! This is so awesome!
My email box is constantly filled with daily emails and newsletters from tons of designers, stores, and boutiques! On any given day I can receive on the upwards of 100+ emails from shops alone. Brandslane has the ability to make managing these emails much easier. Simply put, I can remove myself from mailing lists since it is all on the newsletter!
Here is what the newsletter looks like. It is simple and easy on the eyes. In other words, it isn't overwhelming and makes me more likely to open up and visit the shops.
The website is even more awesome!
See, it is so clean and enticing to go check out the stores....please excuse me while I go check out Betsey Johnson's sale....
You can go signup here! It's so simple, you just put your email address in the box!
Go check them out, the are adding new shops, designers, and boutiques often! I love it! After you signup let me know in the comments! I'd love to hear what other stores you would love to see them add!

Sunday Spotlight - Southern Fashionista
Name: Mia
Blog: Southern Fashionista
Type of Blog: Fashion, Lifestyle
What is your favorite reason to be a blogger?
The liberty to publish my ideas
instantaneously in a format that is easily accessible on multiple platforms all
over the globe.
What can we expect from Southern Fashionista in the next coming months?
My blog will follow me as I
graduate and move to a major city (not sure which one yet)! Also, my employment
may or may not take me into fashion and pageantry, which serves as perfect
fodder for my blog! Also, I'm slated to appear in a TV show to air soon. I
won't tell which yet; you'll just have to read and find out! :)
Who are your Fashion/Makeup Icons?
Audrey Hepburn, Kate Spade,
Michelle Obama, Princess Dianna, Rihanna. Quite a mash-up, yes?
If you could live anywhere in the world where
would you be and why?
My first instinct would be to
say Panama (where my Mom's family is from) because the weather, food and
culture there are singularly spectacular. But my 2nd and 3rd runner up would
have to be New York City and Paris (for obvious reasons: food and fashion). And
I won't neglect to mention the males in these regions of the word are
especially attractive! Win, win!
What other blogs would you like to see
spotlighted on Nicole’s Revolution?
I'm not as familiar as I could
be with other local, fabulous and relevant blogs. However, I am grateful for
the opportunity to be showcased! Cheers!
Thank you to Southern Fashionista for her
interview!
