Random Blogging... super Long post...

Well Hello Everyone! :) 

I cannot believe that April is just about almost finished and May is right around the corner! I've barely any time to study for my Anatomy & Physiology test that is scheduled for May 13th!! jeebus! 

Anywho - things have been so hectic (when is it not?) i can barely remember anything from last week, except this past weekend was a nightmare! 

However, if you're not following me on twitter - my youngest toddler Jasmyn has started preschool! :) she goes to the same school (and same class as her 4.5 year old sister).. we're kind of testing it out and seeing how she likes it more than anything. Her big Sister Tianna will be starting Kindergarten this coming fall (OMG!)

anywho.. on to the weekend..

started saturday, hubby and i went to a good friend/co-worker's wedding ceremony, it was so beautiful! it was my first time going to a wedding ceremony and it was just amazing watching two people commit themselves to one another in love.. :)

after the wedding ceremony was over (it was at 12 noon) their reception wasn't until 5PM, so we thought we'd do some errands and get ready for the evening. My husband is in a basket ball league (nothing big/fancy etc) with my brother and their friends.. and they had a game at 1:00PM.. well hubby wanted to go, so we quickly rushed home to get all his belongings to go to the game.

mind you a month prior to this - he had sprained his right ankle really badly and had to go to ER for that... he had surgery on that ankle too about 3 years ago..

anyway, well we got to the game, we were only like 10-15 minutes late.. so didn't miss out on too much.. and he got to play a bit.. everything was going swell.. my brother's girlfriend Karen was there and she was recording the game (we always do so the guys can see their team plays etc, etc)..

It was the start of the 2nd half of the game.. the game was going.. and a fast break happened at the end of the other court where everyone was running down.. including my husband.. when this happened...



(My husband is the one in the Black jersey #10)


It was BAD.. he hit his face first from the player who stopped and went to his left - totally caught hubby off guard, and with the momentum - he fell backwards and totally hit the back/side area of his head.. he was knocked out for like 30secs to a min.. (in all honesty, it felt like forever)..

after him wobbling up (and it's trimmed in this youtube video - he uploaded it to show his friends LOL boys) .. i quickly ran to his side.. and being the nurse that i am - quickly assessed him asking him some questions to see how bad the head injury he had sustained was..

he was okay the first 2 minutes after it happened.. he had a cut on his lip and a abrasion on his cheek from where the other players head/hair got him..

then it just happened so quickly - i had to keep asking him, what's your name, what's todays date, where are we.. and when he started answering them wrong (he had answered them right 2 minutes prior).. i started to worry.. 

when he actually told me - i'm not feeling good at all, i knew that was our Queue... get the heck out and get him to ER... 

the ride to the hospital was so scary.. mind you - i've never known anyone (even come across a patient) that's had a concussion so i wasn't sure what to expect.. My husband kept asking me the same question every 10 seconds (i'm not exaggerating at all).. he was saying "ow, my face hurts - what happened?", i'd say - "you hit your head really badly", he'd go "how? what was i doing?"

that went on the whole car ride there.. and then checking in was ahhh! although it was quite scary, we look back at it and it was quite comical the things he was saying to the staff etc..

so it was 2 hours after the injury.. and he barely started to come back.. they diagnosed him with a concussion (basically a bruise on the brain).. the dr said he couldn't sleep and needed to be around people to watch him/keep an eye on him.. (he had a CT Scan of the brain and some face x-rays to make sure his cheek/orbital area and nose were not broken and also his neck since it snapped back and forth on the way down when he hit his head).. i didn't know if it was a good idea that we continue on the our co-workers wedding reception.. but i'd feel terrible if i didn't go.. and i'd feel even more terrible if i left my hubby at home..

so HE actually asked the doctor if it was okay he attend.. the dr thought it was in his best interest to go to stay awake.. lol.. that and our doctor friend was going to be there, and we're all nurses so i thought.. hmm i guess so.. he insisted..

so we went - everyone asked what happened.. of course he didn't remember and i did most of the talking - poor thing.. he was so there, but not really.. he was aloof at times.. 

anyway, our doctor friend that was there was asking me if he was being repetitive asking the same questions after the injury.. and asking about all the symptoms that he was having.. and he was spot on with what happened.. 

poor thing.. anyway we ended up staying for an hour or two.. hubby was okay.. he rested that night - not too well of course.. and sunday came and went.. i was busy tending to him since his head was pounding, his face was pounding.. and i was trying to keep the girls quiet while he rested.. luckily my in-laws came to the rescue and took the girls to church and lunch while i got some things done at home and took care of my hubby..

Monday came.. i thought it was too soon for my hubby to go back to work - but he insisted he go because he just started at his new position and did not want to miss it.. (we carpool and work at the same company, just different departments/buildings).. and in the morning he was 'okay'.. but i just felt that he shouldn't be at work.. since his job - he's up on his feet all day assisting the doctor with procedures..

that's when i found out that he returned to the ER during lunch time (when we usually have lunch).. i seriously RAN despite my bum knee.. to the ER and had to wait for them to locate him.. they said he was there, but not in a room.. so i waited.. and finally got the okay to go back to see him.. poor thing looked SO miserable :( 

he had another CT Scan to make sure no new bleeding had occured.. which thankfully it didn't.. but the doctor said he suffered from post concussive syndrome and the symptoms could last from a week up to a month.. if at that.. 

so he couldn't drive and couldn't really function.. so i had to take the rest of the afternoon off work and thankfully my work gave me today off as well.. he's still having a lot of pain/headache etc.. but he's recovering slowly.. 

so that was my weekend lol.. and my monday.. i don't want to go to work tomorrow, but i have to :(

Gym Session :: 04/09/2011 + today's blogging

Hey everyone! :)

so for those of you that don't know - i injured my left knee about March 19th (i remember the day to the T lol).. i had been told to keep off my knee (no gym for 2 weeks) and to ice/elevate and take motrin for 2 weeks straight and hopefully that'd help it..

well my inactivity really kicked me in the booty.. i literally probably have gained like 5-10 lbs these past two weeks.. not only was i inactive, but hubby had transfered to a new job (same company) with different hours. Same as mine! so we carpooled and also took lunch together.. and we weren't really prepared so we had to eat fast food this whole week! (not good, i know!) and i'm paying for it.. not only was i feeling super bloated lately, but tired all the time and groggy.. which fast food/unhealthy food can do to you.

we had been on the go all the time, we weren't able to go grocery shopping as usual, just food for the kids and that was it lol.. 

all the while my knee was still in pain. finally on friday i had the same ortho provider (i work in orthopedics) take a look at my knee since he said if the pain hadn't subsided by 2 weeks - i need to be rechecked.. well he examined my knee (and had a student PA with him and i was their guinea pig) and did a bunch of clinical tests on me.. and based on my clinical exam - it seemed as if i sprained (sprain is a tear) of my collateral ligments as well as possibly slight tear of my meniscus. 

so he ordered me an MRI which i don't have an appt until monday the 18th of this month. which really sucks because he wants me to be in a knee immobilizer until then when i'm walking around.. the knee immobilizer i have is just that - i cannot bend me knee whatsoever! its a pain in the neck - although i know it's good for me LOL! but i'll tell you know - i'm stubborn as HECK!

anyway - my knee felt good today.. and i felt like crap for 2 weeks.. so today i wanted to go to the gym with my husband..

don't worry - i didn't work out legs, just cardio, biceps and Abs. as that was all i could manage to do... here's what i did anyhow..

Cardio:
- HIIT (High Intense Interval training) - did 30 minutes of this on the treadmill. i don't like to do more than 45 minutes on the treadmill as then it will start to burn the LEAN muscle i've worked so hard to gain!  (25 mins minimum cardio!)

Biceps:
- Seated Alternating curls - 15lb dumbbells each hand - 5 sets of 5 repetitions
- Hammer Curls - 15lb dumbbells each hand - 3 sets of 8 repetitions

Abs:
- crunches - 3 sets of 30 (machine)

after the gym- hubby and i went grocery shopping (for veggies and snacks etc) and also target for other things (will have yet another haul video on that soon!

but we had signed up for a costco membership (finally! loL) on friday evening and had purchased our meats there. How often do you all go grocery shopping?

we had our carpets cleaned today finally! it's been awhile - nice to  have clean carpets in the house! anyway.. i'm super pooped and have to wake up at the crack of dawn to register for the fall classes for my youngest daughters ballet class tomorrow.. 

sooooo good night and til my next blog!

Video :: Collective Haul - target, sephora and other goodies

I had originally wanted to do a collective haul (like 2-3 months ago LOL), but never had the chance to record anything until now. it's funny because i have so many things that i wanted to show you all but only chose a handful or else the video would probably be an hour! 

I Hope you all will "LIKE" this video <3


You can watch in HD quality too if you want! :)

but these were the items mentioned in the video:

- Victoria's Secret - Beauty Rush (spray & lotion) in candy, baby

Video :: Hair update!

Hey all! Remember like last month - i was going to cut my hair short? and ended up just getting a trim because i chickened out and wasn't even sure what i wanted to do with my hair lol..

well this month - the mini heatwave we had.. made me want to cut my hair.. and i ended up taking this super quick video about it LOL





And then here is my video response on what i ended up doing to my hair! mind you this was after a long days worth of work, the house was SOOOO hot when i got home because our air conditioner was broken and we're trying to get it fixed.. and even opening the windows wasn't helping.. i got home and straight knocked out! took an hour nap! lol.. and then afterwards decided to film this lol..







if you already follow me on twitter, then this post is old news to you lol. i ended up cutting my hair shoulder length, well it sits right at my shoulders and has short layers on the bottom. i decided to only trim the bangs a little just incase i wanted to put it in a pouf lol or whatever.. well anywho - hope you all like it!

i've officially had long hair for 2.5 years and loved it, but even my hair stylist said i look better with short hair, because long hair didn't do anything for my face shape =/ that and it was a pain in the booty for me to fix especially being a busy and on the go mommy all the time lol, anyway! stay tuned for my next blog/video! :)

Random Blogging :: What i've been up to recently

hey everyone - thought i'd just update you all as to what i've been up to lately.. 

i've been super bummed out haven't been able to hit the gym regularly as i had planned due to my left knee. i had injured it about two weeks ago and was specifically told to stay off of it for 1-2 weeks. 

i know i'm super stubborn, i decided to do weights "lightly" LOL and of course ended up messing up my left knee even more and now my right hamstring is injured (I pulled it) dangit..

so not only did this totally mess up my work-out schedule/routine. but the two weeks of trying to not do anything to put too much stress on my knee and hammy, i think i have honestly gained 10 lbs LOL..

it's been rather heartbreaking for me because i'm usually such an active person. but i think it was a blessing in disguise as i had more time to study, time with the kids, my husband and of course catching up on my blog, youtube channel and trying to sort things out for my mommy website (worldformoms). 

im going to get it re-checked this week because my knee has not gotten any better, and the PA (physician assistant) that i saw, told me that my knee pain wasn't tendonitis, but an injury to the ligament behind the patella (knee cap) and that if the pain didn't subside in a week or two, it would turn into chronic pain. so i have to get it checked to figure it out..

and to top it off, my migraines have came back in full force with a vengeance! it got so bad that i had to get my nerve block injection in the back of my head (i suffer from occipital neuralgia) it got the injection on March 24th, and my migraines were alright just until today. luckily i'm very close with my physician and she gave me some medication to try to ease the pain. we'll see if it works.. if it doesn't she said she might have to try other preventative medication, perhaps even a calcium channel blocker like atenolol (which also controls high blood pressure - which i don't have.. yet) 

i guess that's why i've put on like what feels like 10lbs! so stressful! lol anyway, i hope to get the clearance that i can workout and then at least get my fat booty on the elliptical or something not too stressful on my knees.

and i definitely should take my own advice and really stretch after working out! lol 

anyway - that's kinda what i've been up to! :) til my next random blog!

Review :: Bausch & Lomb BioTrue Solution

Hello Everyone!

I was contacted a few weeks ago from someone in PR to try out a product. the product is the Bausch & Lomb "Bio True" multi-purpose solution. I have been testing this out for about a little over a week and really have enjoyed using it.

it came with a little tote bag, which i love to use to bring with me to the gym or to my work with little things like my make-up bag, extra contact case, the solution and my eyeglass case (with my eyeglasses of course) just in case i wanted to remove my contacts.

I suffer from severe dry eyes as it is, and i normally use opti-free. so i was a bit hesitant to try something different. I had heard such great things about this particular solution from Pam (xxPinkxx) and so i gave it a go.

Bausch & Lomb was having a giveaway, but had ended on March 27th for a free tote bag - the giveaway was to celebrate their newest innovation (the bio true multipurpose solution)

So the best thing about this contact solution is that it is made and has a lubricant that is naturally found in your eyes. which is a plus for me because i have super dry eyes! and usually sometimes other contact lens solutions dry my eyes out (AOSept being one of them).


the formula matches the pH of healthy tears and keeps certain beneficial tear proteins active. I am very impressed with the qualities of BioTrue because after using this for 1.5 weeks i noticed my eyes are not as dry as usual and i didn't have to use rewetting drops as much as when i was using other contact solutions.

Packaging: 5/5
I really really really loved the packaging! i think because it was different than your typical white bottle of solution, it was clear and it gave it a little more pizazz to it lol. i had the sample size and i know they do sell the smaller ones, which i love because i can tote it around in my purse and for on the go!

Quality: 4/5
I enjoyed using this product quite a bit. i noticed the quality of the solution itself was more lubricating and more thicker. not sticky though. after the first few uses i noticed my eyes weren't as dry (but they normally are ALWAYS dry) and when i wore my contacts i didn't have to use rewetting drops as often. it didn't sting my eyes at all which was awesome! because theres nothing worse than sticking a contact in your eye and it stinging the bahjeezers out of it! 

Usage: 4/5
it was really easy to use, real easy to bring along with me. only gripe about it was the cap. sometimes it was hard to take off with one hand (i usually do that with my others) but i did like that it was not the twist off type. but just harder than usual to take off. otherwise - it's self explanatory on how to use it - it does come with instructions in the box incase you are new to using contact solution or wearing contacts.

Overall 4.5/5
Overall - i absolutely loved this product! i did notice a different that it really worked well with my eyes making me want to use contacts more! kept my eyes lubricated more than regular contact solutions, it was easy to use, didn't bother my eyes at all and it was just a pleasure having!

I only got the smaller sample sized bottle, but when this runs out i will definitely be switching from my current contact solution to BioTrue! 

and if you'd like to try this solution to, here's a link for a $1.00 off coupon! 

if you end up purchasing this - let me know your thoughts!


FTC: I was sent these products by a PR firm for review purposes. I was not paid to do this review, nor does it alter my view on the product. As always, my reviews are with my HONEST thoughts and opinions

Hi everyone! So yes i was lucky enough to get invited to join the Beautylish Event that was held on 03/22/11 at the W hotel in Los Angeles/Westwood.

I was super excited, because I went to the last one they held about 5-6 months ago. (see blog post about it >HERE<) Although i was super shy at the last event (in October 2010), i did meet Jarmaine (Jlovesmac1) and took a picture with her and met Suzy (MacNC40) and Lauren (QueenofBlending) and took a picture with them as well.

At the last Beautylish event, i saw Anne (Yummiebitez.com) and also Heart (youtube/com/thatsheart).. but i didn't go up to them because i was EXTREMELY shy to do so! lol..

I also had always wanted to meet April (AprilAthena7) and Jackie (JaaackJack on YT) - and was SO excited when they told me they were going to be going to the event!

We all had been tweeting each other back and forth and i thought this time around - i WILL say hi to them! lol.. and surely i did - i got to hang out with them and they are ALL such amazing ladies!

I was even able to meet Dulce (Dulcecandy.com) and Sonia (Soniaccastaneda on YT). and took a picture with them as well - SUCH beautiful ladies i swear! 

i had TONS of fun! here are the pictures that i took with everyone! Karen and I were freakin' twins haha! so funny! Here are the pictures (i seriously thought i took more, but guess i was having fun mingling!) i'll do a mini video on the goodies soon!

Gym Session :: 03/24/2011 + new shoes! (Vibram FiveFingers)

So today I had an early eye dr appt and also another appt for my migraines/my knee.. and after those appts decided to go to the gym with hubby.

So it was another leg day, but the workout would be the opposite from the other leg day i did - meaning instead of the quads being the dominant muscle worked, today's leg workout focused on the hamstrings and just worked out the quads lightly.

here is what I did..

Hamstrings/Glutes:
- Romanian Deadlifts: i did not want to push myself to the max because of my knee pain.. but i did do the olympic bar, which totaled weight i did was 95lbs, i did 5 sets of 5 repetitions.

- Good Mornings - 45lbs olympic bar no additional weights - this really put a lot of pressure on my bad knee, so i couldn't add anymore weights, but my hammies did get a good workout from these two exercises. i did 3 sets of 8 repetitions.

Quads:
- Seated Leg extensions (machine) - 40lbs - 3 sets of 12 repetitions

Biceps:
I was supposed to workout triceps, but decided to just do biceps instead lol
- Alternating Seated Dumbbell Curls - 17.2lbs each hand - 5 sets of 5 repetitions
- Hammer curls (using the cables) - 30lbs - 3 sets of 8 repetitions

and that completed the workout. I am going to start adding more days to my routine, if you've noticed i haven't been able to post as much my routines or go as much these past two weeks because of my darn knee. as much as i would push myself, i'd be taking two steps backwards.. so i decided to really take a week off to rest my knee. 

Hubby and I went to runners circle, because we had both been wanting to get the Vibrams for quite some time - he's been doing a lot of research on the shoes and thought it'd be great for the both of us. 

So we decided to go check them out in person, try them on and purchase them. My Hubby got the all black KSO's and i got the same ones as he did, but in grey and pink. they look like this:
these are the ones he got. 

and these are the ones that he bought me:

I had tweeted about them on twitter, and had a few responses that they were ugly or WTF are those, why?! .. LOL.. well that's nice, because im not wearing them to be pretty or for a fashion statement. if you want to know what they are for, i encourage you all to check out the website www.vibramfivefingers.com to read more about it. 

NO i do not work for them, NO I am not affiliated with them in any way. My Husband and I have researched about these shoes and we wanted them :) 

but i'm looking forward to using them. i'm sort of just breaking them in (wearing them around the house, trying to get my feet used to them etc).. looking forward to strengthening my legs/feet! it's going to be interesting lifting weights in these!

Gym Session :: 03/19/2011

Hubby and I decided to go late night gym session because we were so busy with the morning (little one had a dentist appt) and other errands, and then we hung out with my brothers and their gf's and went to the mall.. and it was my first time going to LUSH store! didn't even know we had one here until i saw it!

it was real fun! i'll elaborate more on a different post.. but here is what we did during our upper body gym session. (really easy workout tonight)

Back:
Lat Pull Down Machine - 70lbs - 5 sets of 5 repetitions
High Row (cable machine) - 60lbs - 3 sets of 8 repetitions

Shoulders:
(Warm up exercise) Bent over Dumbbell Lateral Raise - 15lbs each hand - 3 sets of 8 repetitions
Military Press (dumbbells) - 15lb each hand - 5 sets of 5 repetitions

Calves:
Standing Calf raises - 3 sets of 20 (no weights)

that pretty much was it! :D

Gym Session :: 03/14/2011

Hello, Hello! 

So today is.. you guessed it.. LEG Day! lol.. 

so Karen came along with me and this is the workout we did..

Legs:
- Squats (with olympic bar+ weights) 115lbs - 5 sets of 5 repetitions
- Leg Press (machine + add on weights) 100lbs - 3 sets of 8 repetitions

a leg exercise for the hamstrings:
- Leg Curls (machine)  70lbs - 3 sets of 12 repetitions

Biceps:
- Alternating Seated Dumbbell Curl - 15lbs each hand - 5 sets of 5 repetitions
- Standing Hammer Curls - 15lbs each hand - 3 sets of 8 repetitions

and that was it for today..was a super awesome workout! my legs were already dying after the squats! i'm going to post a video of my doing my max squats of 135lbs.. when i was on the other routine.. i was surely proud of myself lol.. but great accomplishment.. but that's for later!

anyway im super exhausted from cleaning around the house and stuff.. so til tomorrow! :) toodles!

Gym Session :: 03/13/2011

Hey Everyone! I know it's been awhile since my last post - but a lot has happened and i've just been overwhelmed with life itself lol.. but i've been super busy with family & work, it has left me with barely any time for me to catch up here. 

But i did want to at least leave you all with my gym sessions as i had stopped posting them because I had changed the routine i was doing.. but after about 6 or so months of doing it, i'm going back to my original routine. 

so this is Today's gym session. Had to go it alone because hubby is injured (he injured his ankle at a basketball game) and Karen had to reschedule. 

so it was an upper body day for me..

Back:
- Bent Over Barbell Rows - 40lbs - 5 sets of 5 repetitions
- Cable Rows - 70lbs - 3 sets of 8 repetitions

Chest:
-Flat Bench Press (olympic Bar + weights) - 70lbs - 5 sets of 5 repetitions
- Incline Dumbbell Press - 20lbs each hand - 3 sets of 8 repetitions

Abs:
- 3 sets of 30 regular crunches
- 3 sets of 30 leg lifts

Calves:
standing Calf Raises (holding 10lb dumbbells each hand) 3 sets of 18 repetitions

that pretty much summed up the night.. luckily it was late on saturday and the gym was pretty open.. till tomorrow..

Revlon's Fire & Ice Twitter Prize & Giveaway (NOW Closed)

My Giveaway is now Closed! :) 


A while back, Revlon was having their Fire & Ice giveaway on twitter for the first 500 followers on their twitter. I did follow them and a month or so after they had announced their giveaway to the first 500 followers, i received a direct message that i was one of the first 500 followers and needed to send over my information. 

I was leery about it, but i did. and many months afterwards, started reading people tweet that they received their prize.. and i was still waiting in the mail for mine.. to my suprise, i finally received it and i got 2!!! i think they sent me two on accident.

but here are pictures of everything i received and swatches:

Nail polishes:


 The Lipsticks:

And Me wearing each lipstick:
 wearing All Fired Up Lipstick
wearing All Fired up Lipstick and polish

 wearing Demure lipstick

Since I have a brand new unopened extra set.. I thought i'd give it away! :) All you have to do to enter yourself in this mini-giveaway is:
1. post a comment with your e-mail address 
2. be a follower of my blog (I will check) - if your name differs from what name you follow me under, please post that as well in your ONE comment! :)
3. U.S. Residents Only (Sorry!) 

So remember one lucky winner will recieve 4 nail polishes and 4 lipsticks!

I will pick the winner randomly on Saturday 02/05/2011 by using random.org. ONE Comment/entry PER Person! duplicates will disqualify you! 

Have fun and goodluck! Feel free to spread the word via twitter or facebook! :)
