Today I'm sharing my December Currently post! This is my way of updating all of you on what I've been up to besides the usual DIY/outfit posts!

Family Room Update
Untitled
Ok, ignore the mess in the room... but, we just did a family room update! We had a large projection TV that was old and we replaced it with a flat screen that my hubby mounted on the wall. We also purchased the IKEA Liatorp storage cabinets and I couldn't be more happier! I really just can't wait to decorate this entire space and the shelves. Thankfully there is a lot of inspiration on Pinterest, since this is a popular piece that they sell! My husband even put in surround sound, it is going to be so nice to watch a movie in this room now!


Hometalk Email

Last week, Hometalk shared my blog in one of their emails. Usually they link the project back to their site, but they linked it directly to my blog. As a result, I received a ton of clicks directly to my blog! Yay! Thanks, Hometalk! The project they shared was an older project of mine, my Monogramed Fabric Flower Pots.


Christmas Gift Swap

Lauren from Mom Home Guide and I did a little Christmas Gift Swap this month! It was so much fun! She made me an adorable gold pillow out of a Target place mat! She also sent me a monogrammed mug, Essie nail color, cookie cutters (I collect them) and peppermint bark! Yum! Thanks again, Lauren! I am so blessed by all of the friendships I've made through blogging!


StriVectinHAIR All Smooth

I received another package of goodies c/o StriVectin! This time it was for my hair and it couldn't have come at a more perfect time when I've been trying to style my hair straighter since I don't have to fight the heat and humidity from the summer! In the box I received a bottle of Shampoo and Conditioner, Overnight Anti-Frizz Serum and a Frizz Control Mist. I decided to try these products out for a week and in the photo below you'll see the results.

Yes, these products are a total game changer!! I can style my hair and there is absolutely no frizz and it stays straight all day long and even the next morning (thanks to the Overnight Anti-Frizz Serum)! I couldn't be happier and my hair is going to look perfect for the holidays! (And, my husband even noticed! So, yes... I'm definitely happy with these products!)


Emjoi Micro-Pedi

Recently I was sent the Emjoi Micro-Pedi to review and it has pleasantly been part of my spa-night and has easily kept my feet smooth and beautiful! I know it is the winter, but I still like to take care of my feet and to have them look their best, especially since I'm a runner!

The Micro-Pedi is a terrace holiday gift for women AND men and so easy to use! It's small size makes it easy to take along for when you travel, too!


Reading
27362503
This month I finished It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover.  

I really enjoyed this book and I couldn't have been more pleased with the ending. This book is about Lily who grows up with a dad that abuses her mom and vows to never marry a man that abuses her. She grew up watching the show Ellen and writing in a diary to Ellen, including how she meets a boy that lives in an abandoned house next door who is homeless. She falls in love with this boy and vows to find him later in Baltimore, where he moves to be with a relative that can care for him. Later on she finds herself in Baltimore and meets the most perfect man... Be sure to read this one to find out what happens.

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Currently {January 2017}

I've decided to keep Currently active again for 2017! It is just such a fun post to do each month and I love updating all of you on what I've been up to besides the usual DIY/outfit posts!  Currently... Beyond Thrilled to see SO many #ShowYourMug Photos! Recently I worked with Community Coffee on a Giveaway, where you would have a chance to win a year's worth of free coffee in exchange for showing your mug and tagging me and Community Coffee on Instagram. I was really surprised by how many of you shared your mugs! Below you'll see some of you that played along:      Again, thanks ladies for sharing your lovely mugs! I was so excited every time one of you tagged me and I got to read about your favorite mug! Running Goal I started training for my 10th (that's crazy!) half marathon yesterday! I haven't really set any specific goals for myself with half marathons, except to try to PR. However, I haven't PR'ed my 2:06 time in a couple years! After training ...

Y'all! I DID IT! 2016 Chicago Marathon Recap!!!

I am really excited to share this post with all of you today. I have been wanting to run a marathon for a really, really, REALLY long time. I was too afraid to do it, I was afraid I would fail. I started out running in 2009 after I had my daughter and signed up to run 500 miles in one year with friends I met on  Babycenter   I started out walking and running... but, I did it! I completed 500 miles in 2009. My first 5K was at our local zoo and then I branched out and did a Halloween 10K. After that, I signed up for my first half marathon here in St. Louis and my second half marathon was the Wine & Dine at Disney... My first half marathon time was 2:35 and my best has been 2:04 and a HUGE dream/goal of mine is to complete one in under 2:00 hours. But... first I toyed around with the idea of running a marathon.  All  of my running friends kept telling me to JUST DO IT. That I'd do just fine. But, I was sacred.... Finally, 7 years later I have RAN MY FIRST MARATHON! ...
