<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago I found this cute new fitness clothing company call <a href="http://www.livfitclothing.com/index.html" target="_blank">LivFit</a>. I was excited about it being local and offering something cute, new options for workout gear. I contacted them and was going to do a home party but after a couple months of planning and waiting for them to get more inventory in they contacted me and said they needed to cancel my party :( I was bummed and so were they but being a new company they have had a hard time keeping things in stock and may not be doing home parties anymore. The only good thing that came out of this is that they offered me a free fitness top since they had to cancel my party. That was very nice of them! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to let you guys know that if you were interested in coming to the party then you should still go to the <a href="http://www.livfitclothing.com/index.html" target="_blank">website</a> and order some cute fitness clothes, because I know that having a new outfit makes me extra motivated to go to the gym ha ha! Here is the top they sent me. I really like it! I haven't seen anything like this style before and it fit well. I have a very long torso so it could be about an inch or so longer for me but it would be perfect for most other people. Check them out!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I took this Saturday morning before going to Zumba so don't look too close.. obviously I don't get dolled up for the gym. Also sorry for the high-quality iphone photos)</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, where did this guy come from? Beside the woodwork. Oh he is from South Korea and the Wikipedia page said, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The music video has been viewed over 336 million times on YouTube of September 30, 2012, making it the most watched video of 2012 on that site".</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When asked what the meaning of the song was, he said, "he intended a twisted sense of humor by claiming himself to be "Gangnam Style" when everything about the song, dance, looks, and the music video is far from being such a high class.[16] In another interview with CNN, Psy added that:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">'People who are actually from Gangnam never proclaim that they are — it’s only the posers and wannabes that put on these airs and say that they are "Gangnam Style" — so this song is actually poking fun at those kinds of people who are trying so hard to be something that they’re not.'</span> ".<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This song is so dang catchy and I want to do a Zumba routine to it, now wouldn't that be fun?! You could do the funny horsey moves, like in the video!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the best part-- Owen loves this song and he rocks out to it, thoroughly. The proof is below!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday was a special day, I have been waiting for months for this package in the mail... What was in the little package you ask?? The newest book by one of my favorite authors J.R. Ward. She does virtual signings since she doesn't tour all over for book signings and I was way excited to get my own personalized book!!! She is doing a book signing in Cincinnati, OH tomorrow at B&N if any of you are lucky enough to be close enough to go... I will be jealous if you are!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At any rate, here are the pics to show you how awesome this book is. By the way, her books do have some bad language and are romance novels (wink, wink) so they are not for the faint of heart. You have been warned, don't judge me ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My computer imported these pics weird so they look sliced, but I'm too lazy to redo them! Sorry.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I know, I know, I know, I have been slacking in the blogging dept. But did you guys miss me? I hope someone noticed I have been gone for three months. ha ha! Well I am back. I can't say how consistent I will be, but if I have something to blog about- I promise I will do it! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime I have been doing a lot of Zumba, reading, playing with family and friends and I went on a mini-vaca with my high school girlfriends!! It has been a great 3 months. I hope to share some of it with you soon :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well let's get to the point here... This week I hosted book club and had some of my besties over and we made glitter pumpkins. Everyone had such a good time and loved the pumpkins. The ladies suggested that I post a tutorial on my blog. It was a great idea, especially since I posted pics of them on Facebook and Instagram and everyone has been asking how to make them. So here you go friends!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are the supplies you will need.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>a pumpkin</li>
<li>spray adhesive</li>
<li>fine glitter ( I prefer Martha Stewart brand)</li>
<li>metallic spray paint (optional)</li>
<li>clear outdoor weather coating spray (optional)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CL56XdEckeU/UGXZEwXCopI/AAAAAAAAEnM/54gbFaWHCr0/s1600/photo-8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CL56XdEckeU/UGXZEwXCopI/AAAAAAAAEnM/54gbFaWHCr0/s640/photo-8.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Get your pumpkin and place it on a bag or newspaper and start spraying the metallic or metal finish spray paint all over the pumpkin. This evens out the color of the pumpkin, then you don't have to worry about your glitter being perfect ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jaoItzMorr0/UGXZG6Dc2aI/AAAAAAAAEnU/IJtx67ILJCE/s1600/photo-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jaoItzMorr0/UGXZG6Dc2aI/AAAAAAAAEnU/IJtx67ILJCE/s640/photo-5.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look how awesome this looks. Last year I just kept some of my pumpkins spray painted without glitter and they looked great! If you like this look then stop here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hn2DyXa47T4/UGXZIrldMCI/AAAAAAAAEnc/RVFd-KxIa3U/s1600/photo-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hn2DyXa47T4/UGXZIrldMCI/AAAAAAAAEnc/RVFd-KxIa3U/s640/photo-9.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
On the same bag that you used to spray the spray paint, spray the adhesive all over your pumpkin. Now be ready to switch to a different bag or paper surface for the glitter immediately after. Because if you glitter on this bag, all your excess glitter will stick to the bag and you can't reuse it (see, I'm always thinking ha ha)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MN69-JuTr18/UGXZKH3wCuI/AAAAAAAAEnk/ByPExkXQ__M/s1600/photo-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MN69-JuTr18/UGXZKH3wCuI/AAAAAAAAEnk/ByPExkXQ__M/s640/photo-10.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put the pumpkin on another bag, preferably a flat one so that it is easier to put the glitter back in the jar and just dump that glitter all over the sucker. Be quick so the adhesive doesn't dry. Also if you want you can just glitter the top of the pumpkin-- ombre style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rONubhysr3E/UGXZL_POBAI/AAAAAAAAEns/_WZfD7aCtXk/s1600/photo-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rONubhysr3E/UGXZL_POBAI/AAAAAAAAEns/_WZfD7aCtXk/s640/photo-11.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I spray painted the stem with the metallic color {after all the adhesive and glittering and moving it around so I don't have to grab the stem anymore ;) } If you want here is where you can spray the weather coating clear spray. I didn't use it last year and mine held up great but you may want to just for good measure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you are DONE ya'll!!! Super easy huh?? It takes like 10 minutes tops! </div>

Here they are on my porch. I love them and they lasted for Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving decorating. I was really sad when I had to chuck them last year when it was time to decorated for Christmas, because they were still in great condition. They are the perfect pumpkin in my book!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok I promise I have been dressing in a decent manner but I always forget to take pics and I haven't bought too much new stuff lately so I don't want people getting too bored with what I share ha ha! I actually have had a thought about sharing some fun kids outfit ideas as well. So you may be seeing my cute kids making a guest appearance on these posts soon!! They are a lot cuter and more fashionable than I am ;)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been loving the neon colors lately so I am trying to add some of them into my wardrobe's vocabulary. The flowy-fit of the tanks are super comfy as well, can't go wrong with that. Have you guys been incorporating them into your outfits?</div>

I have been obsessed with this song for the last little while. I like <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://deltaspirit.net/">Delta Spirit</a></span> but the rest of their stuff is still growing on me... for some reason none of their other songs can compare to this one. Their style is right down my alley so I will be listening and getting more familiar with their other stuff and I am sure the love will follow soon after ;)</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span">My friend Jenn (one of my book club ladies) asked if I would post for a new feature on her blog called "<a href="http://grimmricksen.blogspot.com/2012/06/bookworm-wednesday-v2.html">Bookworm Wednesday</a>". As </span><span class="Apple-style-span">you all know, I love reading and like most people, I like talking about myself (do most people like doing that or just me?) so I was all about it. Go check out the post at her blog, <a href="http://grimmricksen.blogspot.com/">Grimmricksen</a>. While you are there check out her other posts- she is very talented and has been working on some fun crafts lately. She has lots of pics of her adorable little boy as well!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My little dancing princess had her first recital this Saturday. She had 4 routines (which in turn means 4 costume changes, which equals a lot of running around for me!)- 2 for her tumbling class and 2 for her dance class. It was pretty precious to see her do some somersaults, walk across the short balance beam, and do some straddle jumps on the mini-trampoline. For her dance routines she did pretty well at following her teachers instruction but during her second dance, she started playing with her tu-tu and looking under it and then started chatting with a friend. It was hilarious, everyone was laughing. I will love showing her that video as she gets older!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
She went to Starstruck Studios this year and had a lot of fun. I think we are going to put her in a different dance school this next fall because the preschool she is attending is also a dance studio (Shaw Dance) and they seem to be a little more disciplined. I really want her to get a good foundation in the basics, terminology, and technique of dance. This should be a good change for her :) </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some cute pics of her on Saturday!</div>

It brought back so many good memories to see her performing and love being on stage. I feel like I am getting old now that I am the dance mom and people aren't coming to watch me perform! I hope she enjoys dancing as much as I did.</div>

Hey guys remember me? I pulled my nose out of a book to bring you this music post... If you are my friend on Facebook then you are probably thinking, "shut up already about <strong>Lana Del Rey</strong>". ha ha I know, I know. But for real, I love her right now. I love her deep, sultry voice and the dirty, dark undertones of the lyrics and mood of her music. I decided that if I ever were to try out for 'American Idol' (I know, let's pretend I'm not too old to try out) I would sing one of her songs.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is one of my fav's of hers. Check her out <a href="http://www.lanadelrey.com/">HERE</a>.</div>

I have to apologize for being a terrible blogger lately. I think we all go through periods where blogging just isn't a priority. I am behind on reading blogs and watching my shows as well... and that is all because I can't stop reading!! I have read 9 books in the last 2 months, I believe, (it may be more) but now that I am on a roll, I am afraid to stop or start watching my DVR because it will get me off of my reading streak. I tell Chris that I am bad at leisure-time mulit-tasking. If I start watching shows and night then I will stop reading and if I am reading lots then I really don't have the desire to watch tv. Lola has probably been loving life because she has had free-reighn to watch whatever she pleases on the tv's. ha ha The reason for all the reading was because my ereader that I got a couple years ago has an issue and won't load my purchased books so Chris bought me a Nook Color and ever since then I can't stop... and I love it!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This last week we were pretty busy! It was a lot of fun though! Here is a run-down of the events with photographic evidence for most of them...</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weds we fed the missionaries. They were very nice young-men and true to form (for Wenesday's, becuase I watch my cousin that day as well) I procrastinated and didn't get dinner started on time so I fed them hot and ready pizza and breadsticks and delicious peanut butter bars from Kent's. They didn't seem to mind, but I felt like a lazy butt and felt guilty for feeding them unhealthy food. Oh well, I told them to jog instead of walk that night to make up for it ;)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday night we were lucky enough to be invited to go to the Jazz game by my aunt and uncle and they took my sis Nicole and her hubby Sean as well. They have amazing club seats that my uncle's dad buys as season tickets every year, for their family and they all take turns using the tickets. We got close and free parking and were able to go eat at the delicious buffet at the top of the Energy Solutions Arena before the game and were on the floor, 4 seats down from the players seats. We felt like movie stars ha ha, we are normally in the nose-bleeds so this was foreign to us. At half time we switched seats with Nicole and Sean so they could sit on the floor and then we sat in the seats that were right behind the players, so not too shabby either.</div>

Friday we went to dinner with some friends to 'Soul and Bones' in Ogden, it is a New Orleans style BBQ place. It was pretty good. I wouldn't pick it again, but if I was invited I would go ;) I would prefer Famous Dave's over that place any day. But we had a great time and made some new friends!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rest of the weekend, we went down to my parents house and went to my cousin's baby shower for her and her twin baby girls that she is expecting and hung out with the family and then went to the M83 show. </div>

On Sunday we went to the in-laws and Owen and Lola were playing in the backyard and Owen was being so cute. He kept trying to shoot the basketball in the hoop. He loves it when we pick him up so he can dunk it. I think that boy is going to love sports because all he wants to do is throw balls and shoot hoops ;) I think genetics are on his side, wink wink.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend I went to the <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://ilovem83.com/">M83</a></span> show and man was it good! It was their first time playing in Salt Lake City and I can guarantee they will be back again!!! The band was so enthusiastic and energetic and Anthony the main guy was so sweet and appreciative of the audience. The show was sold out and the energy there was amazing!! I kind of wished that I would have been on the floor for some of the show to dance with everyone but I did a little dancing on the balcony and had a stellar view of the stage. The girl that toured with him and played keyboards and provided vocals was sooo good. I loved her!! She is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_Kibby">Morgan Kibby</a> and she was so energetic and her voice is beautiful. I think I may have a little girl crush on her! I went with Chris, he bought the tickets for me as a Christmas gift, so we have been excited for this show for quite a while. I still get giddy thinking about it. Sometimes I feel like and old lady at shows but I don't feel like I will ever outgrow that thrill of going to a live show. (Luckily last night was an older crowd mostly.) When Lola gets a little older I want to start taking her to some shows too. Chris and I both have a passion for music and that is something we want to pass on to our children. </div>
<br />
Here are some pics and vids from the show<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
We all know that I love <a href="http://www.polyvinylrecords.com/artists/index.php?id=284"><span style="font-size: large;">Owen</span></a> but this song is so sweet to me because it is about his daughter (as far as I have been able to figure out and her photo is on the cover of the EP so...) It is a meaningful song, I love when musical artists become fathers, it changes them in some ways and makes them more tender and real to me.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the acoustic, up-close-and-personal version of the song (filmed in Mike Kinsella's home) and the lyrics are below :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
All that I need is to know that I'll know you when you're older<br />
<br />
O, Evelyn, don't shy away from the cameras and don't die before i do<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And all that I need is to know that I'll know you when you're older<br />
<br />
O, Evelyn, don't waste no time feeling sorry and don't lie down with salesmen<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Baby I'm feeling old<br />
<br />
and the hairs and my bones are turning grey<br />
<br />
where skin once lived only blisters remain<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All that I need is to know that I'll know you when you're older<br />
<br />
O, Evelyn, don't let your shyness define you<br />
<br />
you're a queen amongst libertines <br />

I have been noticing more asymmetrical skirts and dresses lately and had been wanting one. I found one for a great deal the other week and have been wearing my dress as much as possible. (watch out book club girls, I may wear it this week ha ha) Here are some of the sources that I used for inspiration from <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>. </div>

These guys are awesome. Chris found them and thought I would love them right away... and he was right. I love when there are 2 singers in a band, especially if they are male and female. Love this! <a href="http://ofmonstersandmenmusic.tumblr.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Of Monsters And Men</span></a>, check them out. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a silly question, my friend suggested this one and I thought it was too funny to pass up. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
She asked, "Do you or have you ever farted in front of your spouse or significant other?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was shocked to think that people didn't but apparently some people are more modest or more polite than I am... ha ha! So to add to that question, I would take it further and ask, if you do, when was the first time you, ahem, farted in front of your significant other?</div>
<br />
<div align="center">

I have been so crazy-busy lately and have been enthralled in a few books as well so I haven't been very good at posting lately. I plan on trying to post a few things this week and talk about some fun Spring fashion stuff as well.</div>

Amanda hosted the funnest Book Club in January and I wanted to share some of the cute photos. She is such a great hostess! We had such a good time and ate delicious food as always. We had homemade Cafe Rio salads... mmmm yummy! Then we played a fun game and were silly, as always. That month we read 'Little Children' by Tom Perotta. Note all of the great decor that her and Nichole made.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well you already know how I feel about The Hunger Games... I love it!!! My book club buddies {and good friends in general} and I decided to go to a premier showing the Thursday night before it came out, at 7 pm (thank heavens...we did the midnight show for Breaking Dawn and I was way too tired when Owen woke me up at 7 am the next morning.) It was such a fun night!! My aunt's friend put it together and it was quite the event! She had a ton of prizes you could win and everyone got lanyards and gift bags and a gift card for concessions. We had previously decided that it would be fun get t-shirts made for everyone to wear but kinda spaced it so 2 days before my awesome friends- Amanda, Nichole, and Meagan handmade our shirts!! They turned out so much better than they would have if we had them screen printed elsewhere. Thanks for your hard work ladies- you are rockstars!! Some of our hubbies came with us and they made shirts for them also. ;)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pics of the shirts and of our fabulous night! </div>

I am still getting to know this band but I like what I have heard and I find it funny that their name used to be, "Say Hi To Your Mom" and then they shortened it because they said that name no longer fit their aesthetic. ha ha So go check out <a href="http://ilikesayhi.tumblr.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">'Say Hi'</span></a> and listen to the tune below :) This song is from an older album, 'The Wishes and The Glitch' (2010).</div>

Oh this new <a href="http://www.miauk.com/#!tumblr"><span style="font-size: large;">M.I.A.</span></a> single is sooo good!! I can't get over it. I didn't love her last CD that much but when I heard this new song I got so excited about what is in store for her next album... whenever that may be. Here is the single "Bad Girls".</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After I wrote my post about <a href="http://adayinthelifeofdari.blogspot.com/2012/02/getting-my-fitness-on.html">getting more fit</a> I received so much support and lots of sweet and inspiring comments. I seriously got a little teary reading them and it made me realize how inspiring and encouraging we can be for one another. It got me thinking... I wonder if there are more of us out there that are working on or want to get started on fitness goals and want other ladies to share with and gain strength and support from. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thinking of maybe starting up a Facebook group of some sort where we can share stories, goals, pics(if you choose), and ideas for one another, to gain the motivation we need to keep on track for the goal of a healthier lifestyle. What do you guys think? We wouldn't have to share specifics like our weight or other personal things (unless you wanted to) but we could have a place to go to vent about our bad day or get inspired to keep going. I know that what made a big difference for me was when we started doing the Biggest Loser at work and I knew I had to face that scale once a week and be held accountable for what it said. The group could be the place where we say what our goals are out loud and then actually try to reach them. Instead of saying it to ourselves and never getting started or giving up after a little while. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wouldn't be anything too intense and definitely not competitive, just supportive and fun and inspirational. Let me know what you guys think.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can happily say that I am still working out 4-5 times a week and am using the 'myfitnesspal' app to track all my calories and such and am continuing to lose. (slowly but surely) I know that you guys can reach your fitness/weight loss goals too :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LET'S DO IT!</div>
