Oohhhh its beautiful!!!!



thank you, i did love the color but i was a mess that day so guess thats why i didnt even care to take pics with me in it. Last minute i decided to do my own hair and make up, and for some reason thought i'd try to do a smokey eye, i cant do this for the life of me. It messed me up completely bc it came out sooo bad and had to wash it all off then didnt have time and had to do make up so quick. Not to mention i had 3 pimples on my cheek and one scabbed so badly and just couldnt really cover it up. Dress was big on me and i felt like a mess

Yeah Chris always says they have awesome Cuban sandwiches! If you try it let me know.



i should really stay away, i had to go dress shopping last week and it was depressing, im quite a few sizes bigger than i was



OH NO! What are you a size 2 now?
Too bad youre not in Astoria anymore. I would tell you to join my gym and take the classes with me! Theyre soooo good!! I actually cant walk today but thats a great thing



What gym do you go to? I am going to D.R. in 2 weeks and need to get beach ready.



Its called the matrix in Astoria. I go to 2 classes during the week (aside from my cardio) with this instructor, Luz and she's AMAZING. Mondays is Arsenal Body Sculpt where she focuses on the whole body starting with legs working her way up to butt, arms, and abs. Wednesdays theres a 30 minute power ab class and then lower body blitz that focuses on butt, thighs, all the way down to calves. Her class is the most popular.

Last time I saw you, you looked really small! I WISH WISH WISH when I gained weight at least SOME of it would go to my boobs! For Gods sake, it all goes to my thighs and a$$. Nowhere on my upper body. I wish there was a way to redirect my fat



yeah i was small then, probably a size 4 or 6. But i could never go any smaller bc of my chest, it wont fit me, even size 4 when i was that size it was a bit too tight on my chest. This is why i hate shopping, i hate finding things in my size and dresses are the worst. Its like i would have to get almost every dress altered which i hate doing.

I wish i could redirect fat away from me period

has anyone else tried that new place on 31st street between ditmars and 21st ave,its called Mojave. The place looks real nice , nice atmosphere. Dh had went first with friends and said how awesome it was. We went together another time and it was ok not great but they give you these dipping sauces with certain meals and i seriously got so sick, they were so heavy. I was sick for 2 days. Everyone else loves it though lol. But certain foods can get me sick like that.



Chris ate there with the guys and was not impressed at all. I havent tried it yet. It looks cool though.



DH and I had dinner there once. Not impressed at all.

Did you ever try the cuban sandwiches from Fatty's Cafe?
I heard theyre great also. I havent tried them.



no ive never been to fatty's. Ive seen it and wondered about it but if they have cuban sandwiches ill try it now haha. I saw fatty's cafe on tv recently, forgot what show but it was about restaurants in nyc and i think they did a thing on queens



omg you have to eat here. I'm so surprised you haven't yet. DH and eat there alot. Their brunch is awesome, I love it! Def. try and go. Better when it's nice out so you can sit outside in the back, but it's still good inside.
