The Weekly Frills! 6.27.14

Random things I'm digging this week:


Blingy Lighting

This tutorial for how to make an adorable crystal ball chandelier is great!  I really want to put something like this in my craft/office area to bring a little bling to the room! And, i'm totally digging the wallpaper too

I Heart Organizing Blog

I will admit, I'm more than addicted to this blog.  The writer, Jen (and her amazing team of contributors) consistently post awesome organizing, cleaning and decorating tips.  I am always inspired to think differently about our house, how we use space and how to keep things clean and tidy.  Amazing!

Meal Planning

I've been slacking in this area lately, mostly because I don't have a great system down.  I want to meal plan so that I don't have to think as much when I get up in the morning or get home in the afternoon!  Plus it will mean less trips to the store which means less money spent!  I have found a few great run-throughs of how different people meal plan - hoping to implement a plan of my own soon!

How to Meal Plan for a Clan via iHeartOrganizing (told you I was addicted!)

MyFitnessPal

One goal of mine is to get healthier and lose a little weight along the way.  I'm working hard to get my blood sugars under really good control (I am a Type 1 diabetic).  My Fitness Pal is a great, easy way that I have found to track my food, set a goal for calories each day, and encourage myself to get some exercise (calories burnt means I can have a little extra to eat!)  I've been using it for about a month now.  Though I haven't lost any weight, I can tell that eating more healthy choices and wanting to exercise have made me feel much more energized than they have in the past. Now to get through a weekend of birthday celebrations for Mr. B without eating all of my calories for the next week......
