Unplug and Unwind

Although it doesn't seem like I do much in the virtual world anymore (considering my blog is left idle more often than not these days), I am constantly on my laptop or phone catching up on any updates, emails, webinars or newsletters I need to know in order to grow my little fitness business stuff. With that said, I took the time to actually "unplug" this weekend, and spend the time with my family! I did have a little boost of motivation to do so, given the fact it was my daughter's birthday!! So I closed my laptop for the entire weekend and just enjoyed my time with the fam. It was amazing.

Here are few details from her Frozen themed birthday party! It was too much fun, and I have to thank my sister-in-law for the cute Pinterest-y ideas, and my daughter's great aunt who made her cupcakes!!

And yes, I had as much fun putting it together as it may look!!! Details are my favorite, and I love being crafty. Not that it was anything over-the-top... except for the Olaf chicken cheese ball!! My mother-in-law made her infamous appetizer (my favorite) but put a nice spin on it for the special occasion. Talent, or what?! :)

Last but not least, on Sunday we spent the afternoon at a local playhouse where we got see Mary Poppins LIVE!!! Audriana loves that movie, and it was such a delight to see her little face so happy, singing the songs along with them! My heart just melts seeing that light in her little eyes. :)

 It was a perfect weekend.

Unplugging may have kept me a little behind schedule come Monday, but it was totally worth it.
 

Obsession Overload: Idina Menzel

As we all know, Frozen has been Hollywood's most recent phenomenon. One of my own personal reasons I love it so much is because of Elsa's character voice, by Idina Menzel. I have been quite a silent fan of hers since seeing the broadway show Wicked [whom she plays Elphaba, the wicked witch]. I have not been fortunate enough to actually see her live, but her live performance of the infamous number "Defying Gravity" streamed on YouTube had me glued. And now deemed a forever fan.

What is the point of all this? Well not only does she possess one of the most powerful voices in broadway, stars in one of my ultimately favorite broadway plays, and now characterizes one of the most famous animated voices in Frozen, but I just recently discovered she also has incredible taste in men. Yes, she was once married to (and bares a beautiful son with) the incredibly talented, and hands down most handsome man alive... besides my hubby *wink*... TAYE DIGGS!

Yes, this guy...

I have loved him in all movies from Brown Sugar, The Best Man, even the classic late 90s film The Wood.  

So I'm thinking as if I'm not obsessed with her enough, this just adds to it a million bajillion times more. And no I don't mean obsessed like omg I want a lock of her hair, lock your doors, jack up the security kind of obsession. That's scary. By "obsessed", I simply mean I'm an even bigger fan.

You go girl!
