Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: Will You Be Watching?

My husband just made the BEST dinner---grilled shrimp with steamed veggies.  He seriously has a gift for using spices because he always makes everything so flavorful.  It was the perfect post-workout dinner.

I had a nice intense session with my trainer tonight---there was simply no way I was skipping tonight's workout.

Do you know why?....................................

Because tonight is one of televisions most exciting nights (at least for me)

Tonight, at 10/9 c the annual VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW airs on CBS.  I DVR it every year and keep it there all year long---anytime I need a little workout motivation, I just watch it and immediately feel pumped to get to the gym

I caught a few moments of E! News before I left for my workout and they were showing the VS models working with their trainers before the show.  Of course models are genetically thin on the most part, but nearly everyday I see paparazzi photos of models like Gisele and Karolina Kurkova leaving the gym. It definitely takes some maintenance.

Last year VS held a competition for a new model to walk the runway---Kylie Bisutti got the lucky spot---they showed the girls working with celebrity trainer David Kirsch and the workouts he did with them were not easy.

Here are some images from this year's show (it is always filmed in advance): (pics: justjared.buzznet.com)



I don't want to reveal too many of the runway shots! I will post more once it has aired.

Do you plan to watch the VS Fashion Show this year?

PS---this isn't really an outfit of the day because I was literally running out of my house and didn't even have my camera on the right setting and didn't have any good lighting...but I wanted to show you ladies my sweater coat that I got at H&M! It's so comfy and doubles as a jacket here on chilly days.

Gobble Gobble Babble

Heya, lovelies!  I'm sorry I've been scarce around these parts.  I've been slammaroo'd lately, but hopefully after the 10th (when the final book is due - GULP!) I'll have more time to devote to my beloved OOBH.  To be perfectly honest, I'm getting sick of the sound of my own internal "voice." 

I've noticed a bit of an overall slow-down in the bloggyverse though, so I guess I'm not alone. It's a busy time of year for all of us! I hope you're all keeping your wits about you and trying to enjoy yourselves this holiday season.

Me want cookie fix!
I'm still recovering from Thanksgiving. My diet started yesterday because I've reached the point where I have a decision to make: become okay with being chubby and buy all new pants, OR stop snacking and drinking wine like it's water. So I've chosen the latter - I'm just not ready to be the confident chubby girl just yet.  Trouble is, I HATE DIETING.  Yeah, I know - nobody likes dieting, but I'm like, morally opposed to it.  Still, it can't be helped.  Damn my crappy genetics and love of delicious food!  Curse you!




Speaking of food, I'm starting to regret buying such a big turkey. I feel like Bubba from Forest Gump, only instead of shrimp I've been eating turkey non-stop for days! So far I've made Turkey Tetrizzini, Turkey Pot Pie, Turkey Soup, and yes, I have a turkey sandwich in my lunch bag as we speak. Ugh.

Not cool.  Ya' know what is cool?  This animated gif I found of every movie role Bill Murray has ever had (except Garfield).  I *heart* it.  A lot.

Okay, enough of me babbling.  It has taken me a few hours to write this disjointed mess of a post because I've been interrupted a dozen times.  So let me just ask you these things, because misery really does love company:

- Anyone else trying to lose weight during the holidays?
- Anyone else about to sprout feathers and a (bigger) waddle due to overdoing the turkey consumption?
- Anyone still reading the OOBH?  My comment section has had tumble weeds blowing through it these last few weeks!

The Bev loves you.  Have a good day.
XOXO

Project Feast


Please welcome Lori! She has a creative blog, life is this. Go check it out for more awesome projects.

Today we are feasting on Lori's wonderful creations! First up we have a layout which combines Moonrise with a hint of Monsterville. No joke! Isn't this lovely?Using the neutral colors from the line is such a smart way to incorporate other colors. The pink adds a nice pop.

Check out this beautiful butterfly detail.

Next we have another Moonrise layout. This one shows off the colors we traditionally associate with Moonrise. Lori's all about the details here - a little ink, stitching, paper curl...



For dessert we have a Moonrise card. The lined paper behind the sentiment is from the sticky note pad.

Now we hope you are filled with plenty of great ideas inspired by Lori. Which of these ideas would you like to use on your next project?

Click! Click! Click! Getting Aquainted with my Canon

I played around a bit with my new camera (the Canon Rebel T2i) this weekend and wanted to share a few of the shots I took.  Right now I'm only shooting in full automatic or automatic without flash.  I will try other modes once I've watched the DVD about how to use the camera in its various settings.

Photography is just really inspiring to me.  I hope to learn to take beautiful photos with lots of practice.  I sometimes wish I could be naturally talented at photography so I could be a wedding photographer.  I look at wedding photographer's blogs and I always think how lucky they are to give a married couple such a beautiful and everlasting gift---memories, smiles and beauty captured by their lenses.  It just seems like it would be such an amazing feeling to give someone such an incredible gift.

Here are a few shots:


What struck me most when I uploaded these was the clarity and crispness of the images. Even in a mirror (like the last shot) the shot is so clear.  In the pictures of lulu, you can see all of the variations in his hair color and texture---every wisp of hair is defined.

I am just so happy I bought this camera.  It's really going to be fun to learn to take great photos and maybe even learn to use Photoshop a bit better so I can color balance my photos and overall just make them look awesome.

If you have any tips or tricks or great website recommendations for photography, please leave me links and advice in the comments below!

xoxo,

Veronika.
