Weekly Haul

Good evening~ I want to share with you my favorite items I got in the last week.

These two dresses are from TJ Maxx.  The purple dress was $14.99, and the grey was $16.99.  TJ Maxx is sooo nice when you are on a budget like me.  We had another blizzard two days ago.  I can't wait for the snow to melt and the weather to go back to normal so I can wear these! 


This is a jewelery holder that was on clearance at Icing. It was $10, and it has cute gold birdies and leaves on it.  I've been too busy to actually put any jewelery on it though. 

I ordered circle lenses from shoppingholics about week ago now.  I'm soo excited for them to come in, please look forward to my review!

Coco Fashion Review

Good evening!  Just last week I received my first item from Coco Fashion.  Have you heard of this site?  I was surprised by how inexpensive and cute the clothing is!  It seemed too good to be true, but I decided to order something. 

I chose a long grey shirt with an image of a cute rabbit.  The price for the shirt is $8.35, and with shipping the entire total was $15.74.  I received an email notification letting me know my order was completed on March 15, and they included a tracking number.  The link they give you to track your package is not very detailed, I suggest this one instead.  
I received my package on April 5.  The shirt was just like the picture!  The fabric was soft, and seemed to be of good quality.  


However, when shopping on the site you need to pay attention to the measurements it gives.  All clothing items say they are "free size," which is not entirely the case.  Just make sure you are in the range of centimeters it gives before buying something!

There are so many cute items at coco fashion, I can't wait to order more!

A Drink that Burns Calories?

Phew, just got done with my workout.  Before I hope in the shower, I wanted to share this with all you dieters out there!





This drink is called Celsius.  I first heard about it almost two years ago while reading about Katie Holmes and her obsession with being a size zero.  I was told I could find it at Walgreens, but had no luck ever coming across it.  After awhile, I gave up and just forgot about its existence.  Two days ago I was picking up a few things from walmart and decided to get a drink.  And there it was on the top shelf!  At $1.49 a can I grabbed ten and decided to give it a shot.

The drink claims that it can burn 100 calories and more per can,  raise metabolism for 3 hours, and can enhance your workout as well as body composition.  It also contains no sugar, no corn syrup, and no artificial preservatives or colors.     

The first one I tried was wildberry flavored.  I was just starting to feel a little hungry when I took it, but I was sipping it slowly because I was at work.  I only had about 3/4 of the can gone by two hours, but I was EXPLODING with energy.  I have never had the 'jitters,' before, but I think that may have been what it was.  My hands were shaking slightly, I felt warm on the inside, and I felt like I could run laps around the store.  Oh, and I no longer felt hungry.  By 4 hours I felt like I was calming down, but I experienced no crash at all.

The second day I tried the orange flavor, which tasted better than wildberry.  I didn't feel the same explosion of energy or jitters, but my hunger pangs and cravings went away.

The drink definitely has a different taste, but I think it's a good way to replace soda, and help burn a few extra calories!
