Living Simply By Heather Leigh

Does anyone know the song I'm referring too?? I totally got excited today when I walked in from work today and found the shakeology box on the counter top! Nick saw my face and instantly I did the happy dance. Boom! It's seriously going down! This is the beginning of a whole new me! Anyone who knows me knows my story but if you don't know me well here's a little back round.  A while ago, about 6 years to be exact I joined the United States Air Force, since then my life's made sense.  I met the love of my life, found my passion for caring for people, and found the career of my dreams. The military has done so much for me and when I found out this came out! I was like ahhhh gotta have it baby! I'm also in nursing school.  1 year down baby!  That's been it's own stressor on it's own and probably the reason I went from 108lb to 115lb.  I'm 5'1 and that shows even just a little on such a small frame. Plus I just feel sluggish an...

So it's never too late to start healthy right? Monday is always our new start to the diet days. That's half the battle of getting fit, what you put in your body and portion control! Tonights dinner, tilapia with terrayki sauce on top of tabuleh with some home grown asparagus.  And a heart healthy class of wine! Can't forget the wine...duh.  I don't pretend to be a master chef...not going to lie this was my first home cooked meal for quite sometime.  Usually Nick cooks and he IS the chef.  There were no major injuries during the making of this meal only minor...yes I did burn my hand.  Like I said I'm a work in progress.  

Hey All! I'm starting a new venture this year! Lots of new things going on for me and my husband already! 1st year of nursing school down! So excited my passion for helping people and saving lives and well underway! This new venture is a perfect opportunity to help doing so with the battle of obesity.  Today I signed up to be a new Beachbody Coach! Pretty excited.  Not everyone knows but I struggled with weight for a while before I joined the Airforce. Pretty sure it was my eating habits one year my metabolism basically stopped. I've always been small and petite and exercised but usually ate whatever I wanted.  Not the best of ideas.  I went from 105lbs to almost 150lbs. This was not just unhealthy but it was depressing and I just kept eating all the time.  I literally tried everything! I went to the Dr. because I thought something HAD to be wrong with me.  I had all the tests done and everything was clean.  So I worked out I ate hardly anything ...

Hello All, Sorry for the lag in posts....FINALS!! Ugh yes 20 something year old going to school to be a nurse is alot of work anywho they are over I can indulge for the next few weeks until school starts again. CHEERS!! A  little martini to get the party started!! So yes this so cute, I decided to do my own little DIY! Cheap, Easy & Quick! Like I said FINALS! http://somethingturquoise.com/2014/11/28/diy-mason-jar-cocktail-gifts/  Everything was found at target except the ribbon, I already had that on hand.  Oh yeah and the booze I had to search for the Bailey's In MI its not very common.  But the family seemed to love it. Another fun idea! I'm from California, my husbands from Michigan thats partially why we moved here, My Mom & Dad live in NY.  Little background before the next few pics.  I saw these and they were all sold out on Etsy.com so I said "DIY project" why not....way different but still turned out cute! https://...

I couldnt stand waiting for Thanksgiving, and since it's not at our house I decided to set up for Christmas early..inside anyway...I'll do outside after Thanksgiving, I don't want to be one of thoooose people. We have a charlie brown christmas, afterall it's only our second Christmas together in our own house.  Our first one was like three ornaments, our second was in Afghanistan, and our third was at his gramma's house...she decorated for us though!  Arent these snow plates cute?? I thought so. We don't have a fire place, so this little fake one is all i've got.  I made these stockings our first christmas they turned out ehhhh ok.  Maybe in the near future i'll make new ones! Stay tuned!  Xoxo H

Here are a few little tricks to make your bathroom cute! Well at least in my opinion. Of course all thanks to pinterest!  Yes normally this is from the mouth wash pin.  But my husband sometimes uses mouthwash and I'm not a fan ...maybe one day.  Anyhow I think this looks wayyyy better than a huge lotion bottle and huge santizing bottle.  All I did was get these from the dollar store and cut the tips off a bit from the actually pumps from the lotion bottle and sanitizer bottle..and voila!  http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/8f/8e/2d/8f8e2da6ba6af9a4be6d5ca4b995a75a.jpg Next project was this little one.  Haha when we were little ones.  It's cute I have one in the bath tub like the first one but I couldnt find it.  These had to work instead... I still think they are cute! And this is how I seperated them....Still cute. Just a little way of how to spice up the bathroom...oh last one. My husband thought this was f...

Happy Veteran's Day to all those veteran's out there and their families.  It takes a tough individual to do what you do! And here are a few things I've found to do for 4th of July or for Veteran's Day! http://allrecipes.com/Cook/Photo.aspx?photoID=428300 This is the website with the instructions.... Found this delicious looking little piece too! http://www.partycity.com/content/patriotic+food+ideas.do My duplicates aren't the same exactly but they weren't too bad. The strawberries were a huge hit especially with the kiddo's! They arent as professional as the other ones but who cares they are gonna get eaten anyway...And as i'm not a fan of bananas and I already used strawberries so I went with pears and rasberries.  It worked for the time. Well that's it this time! Hope you enjoyed Until next time!
