I went to my favorite hairstylist and friend Crystal at the Ulta in Woodbury, MN, its a 40 minute drive for me these days and totally worth it! She always chooses the perfect foil combos and an added bonus this weekend is she curled my hair for me! Also awesome is that Smashbox was doing free makeup and I got mine done with first time ever "smokey eyes." I was so impressed I posted pics and bought the eye shadows!
Yes, their ploy worked, but it made me feel great! I also won the drawing for a free Smashbox gift basket, how cool is that? I still have to go pick it up.
Saturday night I went to the local casino with my boyfriend and we heard Bill Maher from HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher do his thing. Hilarious! I also got to show of my glam look at the casino, hubba hubba!
You'd think that'd be enough excitement! But, then on Sunday I attended the "Red Shoes and Sushi" event hosted by Fabuliss and @PrincessSushi of Twitter fame! I did try on quite a few pairs of red shoes, but I ended up buying some much needed black summery shoes, some shoes for a wedding...and these babies:

After shoes, we dined together at Tiger Sushi in the Mall of America. I love sushi, and normally I totally go overboard and have 2 or 3 rolls, plus some edamame and gyoza. But, with my new focus on cutting calories and getting fit, I need to revise this! What did I find? Well, along with a super yummy seaweed salad I had "The Volcano" which is SO PERFECT! It had 3 kinds of fish (octopus, tuna and salmon), plus mango slices, strawberry slices, and cucumber, and a very light japanese mayo/chili lime garlic dressing.and no rice, thus reducing the carby/calorie intake..check this baby out:

After running around all day, going to the casino and eating at the buffet, and even an event that involved eating, I was able to stick to my calorie intake goals for the weekend. This just shows me that as long as I think before I eat, I can enjoy myself and not freak out with food. YAY!

I think I am in love with your shoes! What size do you wear? And can we share a closet when I move up? Please and Thank you!
I wear a 9 1/2. You can borrow my shoes anytime :)
I am super jealous of that salad. I should have ordered that!
