Cruising Along Chevy Style

by Nicci on 11/12/2011

 Hello, I’m back from an unexpected blogging hiatus!  Due to my busy work schedule and life…blogging was put on the back burner.

I’ve truly missed blogging  and sharing life happenings with y’all!

In October, I had the pleasure of working with local Chevy DFW dealerships; test driving the new 2012 Chevy Traverse for 2 weeks.

I took a trip to the Texas State Fair & met up with 30+ lady bloggers for the event!

I definitely had a fun time test driving this beauty!

Talk about lots of room & space!

My favorite things about the car: the awesome XM radio & Onstar Navigation…I need both in my own car!

I loved that I could listen to 100+ stations of music, talk radio and sports.  Plus the OnStar feature came in handy, when I needed to find my way around town and Dallas.

Would you like to test drive the new Traverse and pamper yourself??

Just Flip It

by Nicci on 08/31/2011

Good Times at the Healthy Living Summit with blends, Krista and Shannon.

Frito-Lay had a great display table with information on how their products are cooked in healthier oils and seasoned.

How about a GIANT spatula for attendees!

 

We ROCKED that spatula!

Fitness Recap:

  • Monday- Was a good weight lifting day at Fit Camp. My arms still feel like jello.
  • Tuesday- No packing has occurred yet…I keep looking at things around the apartment; hoping all items will magically appear into boxes. Fixing this fantasy, of boxes magically appearing full, is on tonight’s agenda!
  • Wednesday- Today, I’m nervous about attending my workout because our trainer mentioned we will be trying something new in the gym. As long as it doesn’t hurt me…I’m okay with a new fitness challenge, especially one that will make me stronger.
  •  

    Do you push yourself in workouts, liking new challenges or do you stick with the same exercise routine?

    When  is the last time you posed with giant silverware? ;)

    Balancing Life

    by Nicci on 08/23/2011

    Hellooooo, Yes it’s been a awhile since I’ve blogged!
    I had to take a mini-hiatus to work on a schedule of life happenings. First, I was diligently training for a new position at work; which takes up a lot of my time.

    Then Chris and I decided to move, so we’ve been on the hunt for a new home…moving is not my favorite thing in the world. Luckily, we found a beautiful place and I can not wait to decorate and share little DIY projects on the blog.

    Refreshed and motivated to continue blogging, especially after visiting the great city of Philadelphia; attending the Healthy Living Summit! I had such an amazing time with old and new blogger friends.

    I’m back and ready to share what has been going on in my little neck of the woods.

    Don’t worry, I promise a recap of HLS to come very soon!

    A Taste of Saturday

    by Nicci on 07/10/2011

    I had a great time getting together with Kari, one of my best friends, for lunch.  We decided on Chopsticks to catch up on what’s going on in each other’s lives.

    I was feeling sushi, so I started with an eel roll.

    004

    My all time favorite roll to chow down on.

     

    005

    Kari decided on General Tao’s Chicken and rice.

    016

     

    I think it was a good choice!

    013

     

    I’m also sure this is our favorite restaurant in town, we always pick Chopsticks.

    014

    More sushi  (volcano roll)

    010

    Usually the volcano rolls are delicious, but I wasn’t feeling this one.  I think it was made in a hurry and too much sauce was added, on top.

    So I ate a few rolls and left the rest.

    009

     

    Later that evening, Chris and I headed out to ‘’Taste of Dallas’’.  It was too hot outside, so we lingered around the inside booth areas to cool off. 

    I had planned on checking out more booths to sample food, but the inside area with the jewelry shops had most of my attention.

    We did check out Trailer Cakes, which was a really cute, local bakery selling mini-cupcakes.

    I tried their popular PB&J cupcake, which the booth lady stated was awesome… and of course it was DELICIOUS!!

    Then it was Spazmatic time!

    I had to capture them singing Vanilla Ice, but ‘’Jessie’s Girl’’ is my favorite song they sing.

     

     

    Definitely a fun weekend!
