High 5 For Friday

Whoa. Two days in a row? That's unheard of anymore. I'm on a break from school so that must be it, right? It's also been awhile since I participated in one of my favorite link-ups: High Five for Friday. Working a job Monday through Friday it is only natural that Friday is one of my favorite days of the week. Here are my high's for this week. One. Technically, this was mostly last week but I had an amazing time up north with my hubby!

Two. My aunt was in town from Florida, so I was to spend Monday afternoon with her. Bob and I took her to a great restaurant in Bay City called Real Seafood Company. I had swordfish for the first time and it was delicious! Three. Miguel Cabrera was re-activated from the DL list. If you're a Detroit Tigers fan, then you appreciate what I am saying here. Four. My August Pop Sugar Must Have box, Love with Food and Ipsy Glam Bags arrived - woo hoo!!

Five. Found a great deal on a sweater at Torrid. I love a good deal. $70, on sale for $30 - woot!

How was your week??

Day #52.2: Friday Top Five

1. Internet Deals...

Being broke I am constantly trolling the internet to find the best deals. There's a few e-mail subscriptions I have found that I absolutely love and appreciate, especially during my time of financial issues. 

First, Pick Your Plum...each day this website posts a deal. It's usually some sort of craft supply, which of course I love! Sometimes they post jewelry, sometimes little notebooks...regardless, the items are always cute and usually 60% off. If you subscribe to their e-mail, you're more likely to get the item you want because they often sell out! I highly recommend.

Second, Brad's Deals. It's an awesome website that shows you all the internet deals. You can subscribe to the e-mail and receive awesome deals right to your inbox. The website also allows you to search to coupon codes. Love!

And third, MyHabit. MyHabit is founded by Amazon and is a private fashion sale site that offers 60% off hand-selected designer items. Also, AMAZING and sells fast! I highly recommend subscribing to the e-mail.

2. BirchBox

I finally received my BirchBox subscription invite! To learn more about BirchBox click here.

3. Love bracelet

I ordered this super cute bracelet from a shop on Etsy at the end of August. Since it ships from China, I finally received it this week. It's super cute and I am excited to find the perfect outfit to wear it with! Visit the shop here. The best part? It was only $8.99!

4. SongPop

SongPop is a very addicting Facebook game where you try to guess songs and/or artists faster than your opponent. Hubby and I started playing this week. Great homework distraction.

5. Two Days off from work so I can blog, do homework, do chores and relax! Aaah...

Before you leave, please link-up at The Grant Life!

And with Lauren!

Until later,

Day #41, Part 2: Big & Beautiful

I found a "linkup" on another blog and I want to participate! Since this blog is partly about my struggle with my weight, I want to join!

I have been over-weight my whole life. While, I plan on going to the gym, it is more to become healthier, rather than "skinny". I don't want to be skinny and I will never be skinny. I love myself, and it's taken many years for me to feel that way.

Me and my brother @ my bridal shower in April. Size 22

Me, at my wedding! The dress made me look thinner. It had a corset. Woo!

Me and my dad @ our dress rehearsal. I am a size 22.

I don't have any pictures of myself today. I just got home from work, as at the end of my shift my mommy came in :( I will definitely post some tomorrow.

Until tomorrow, Big, Beautiful & Broke... Chelsea

Day #38: Friday Top 5

It's time for the second ever, Friday Top 5. I have discovered other blogs do this too (And I thought I was being creative. Shucks!). However, I'm not feeling well today so the creative juices are not flowing so well. I think my dizziness yesterday was the precursor to a sinus infection. I have felt awful all day. Anyways, here we go:

Chelsea's Friday Top 5:

1. New blog followers

I'd like to dedicate the #1 spot to my latest blog followers! Since I am new to this, I truly appreciate anyone who is willing to read my blog and give me a chance. So thank-you! Here's are shout-out to the readers that I know about. If I missed you, feel free to comment and I'll be sure to give you a shout-out also!

All Roads Lead to Home

2. Sidney Michaels Cubic Zirconia earrings from Kohls

One of my favorite accessories for any outfit are diamond stud earrings. However, I have a tendency to lose or misplace one or both the earrings. Therefore, I usually go with cubic zirconia. Anyways, I like to scope out clearance sales and I found a pair for $5.00, on sale from $24. Sweeeeeet!

So pretty!

3. No Overtime!
Since this was the last week before school starts I didn't pick up one hour of overtime this week. It's been AWESOME!

4. Fall Colors
I love fall colors. I painted my nails today a pretty shade from OPI called "Midnight in Moscow"

Don't judge. I suck at painting my own nails.

5. My Dog, Abbey

I always post pictures of my cats. Well, I have a dog too, named Abbey. She's cute!

I was repeatedly saying her name in a baby voice while taking this picture.

So, there you have it. This week's top 5. 

I must admit today I just feel...annoying. I feel like I am annoying everyone around me. It might be time to take some benadryl and just go to bed. At 7:30 pm. Oui. Hopefully, tomorrow is a better day!

Until tomorrow,

Big, Beautiful & Broke... Chelsea
