J. Hilburn

Well...I have entered a new business venture and I couldn't be more excited! Here is how we began...

This is my man...


He is a big buff guy who looks great in a suit and LOVES being in a suit. Unfortunately, t-shirts are the only thing that really fits him.

I set out to find him clothes that were as nice as Neimans but more a Banana Republic price...

I discovered J. Hilburn. A Company that does completely affordable clothes with high quality fabrics imported and crafted in Italy and have comparable patterns to the Sax, Nordstrom, and Neimans. Jeff loves his clothes and now is fitted so that any time he wants something we can call our representative and order a shirt. They will come custom to Jeff and embriodered with his initials.

Look at all the patterns!!

As I got to know people from their team I knew this was something I had to be a part of!! So here I am and loving it. Look for pictures of Jeff in his new threads soon!

Contact me if you would be interested in getting your groom in J. Hilburn!

7 pounds in 7 days...or 2pounds in 4 days?

Wow...I am not the best at intense dieting for experiment sake...much easier to make excuses. I lost some weight and definitely made healthier decisions, but in all the great restaurants we have in Dallas very few have healthy clean items...so I warn you, if you attempt it, you should probably decide to just eat at home for the week!

So here is one thing I started eating this week that was perfect when I got a sweet craving...

Luna Minis...80 calories and filling. I keep them everywhere and they contain nutrients women need. $9.99 for a box of 18 at Target!!

Flavored water packets:



These helped soo much when I was craving something besides water. Each one is 5 calories and so delicious!

Happy Saturday!

Panic Diet for Brides-7 days and 7 pounds

So its a week before the big day and your dress is a little tight. You meant to get serious and hit the gym harder but you got busy! Planning your wedding can be difficult with a job and or while in school! I have a great diet that I am trying right now to see if its effective.

Reasons I love it:
-You still get to eat
-It develops healthy habits
-Its very clean
-It produces fast results

Reasons its so hard:
-You basically have to eat at home
-It kicks out almost all carbs
-You are cutting calories and keeping a good work out in your schedule
-It isn't caffeine lover friendly

7 days of this:

Breakfast (pre-workout): Protein shake
Breakfast (post work out): Scrambled eggs (5 egg whites & 1 whole egg) with one grapefruit
Lunch: 1 chicken breast and a small side salad with lemon juice
Snack: 1/3 cup berries, 1/2 low fat cottage cheese and 5 almonds
Dinner: 6oz ham or lean meat with 1 cup steamed broccoli
Snack: 1/3 cup plain yogurt with one scoop protein powder

Drink: one cup of coffee a day, green tea and lots of WATER

Ok So I work and I don't do grapefruit or cottage cheese...so here is what mine looks like:

Breakfast: Protein shake
Snack: Greek yogurt, strawberries
Lunch: 1 chicken breast and a small side salad with lemon juice
Snack: 1/2 luna bar and berries
Dinner: 6oz ham or lean meat with 1 cup steamed broccoli or green beans
Snack: 1/3 cup plain yogurt with one scoop protein powder

It can be challenging (especially with work lunches and dinner with friends) but anyone can do anything for ONE WEEK and its set to loose weight quickly!!! I am on day 2, a little tired (because normally I drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day) and my stomach is growling still adjusting. Ill let you know how it goes!!

Stay tuned...

Amanda and Tim. 5.22.10

Amanda and Tim- what an AMAZING wedding with two AMAZING people. I have grown up with Tim since the 6th grade. He is like a brother to me and it was so fun to meet the beautiful, full of life, heart of GOLD, Amanda. This girl lights up a room, and gets the laid-back-bride-of-the-year award from me. Their wedding was a blast to help plan, and coordinate. Poser Photography did an amazing job capturing the fun and excitement that this event was! Check it out here on Eric's blog. He was WONDERFUL to work with and is so talented!

Forsberg Wedding, June 19th

WOW...this wedding was a BLAST from start to finish!! Lori Lynn Forsberg was an amazing bride. She knew exactly what she wanted, was so organized, extremely created, and completely original. From the location we found, to the redneck surprise this wedding was an adventure. It took place at the Sanford House in Arlington, TX. CLICK HERE!! if you are looking for a great venue because it is COMPLETELY worth looking at. It was intimate and had a great staff. Here are a few pictures of the villa I stayed in.

This is the bathroom


The bedroom


The dining area


Every room is welcomed with hot, fresh chocolate chip cookies (their signature recipe) and their homemade lemonade. Its amazing!!


The wedding had lots of details but ended up being beautiful. The courtyard had so much natural outdoor decor that we didnt need much. The colors were ivory, navy and paprika. SO original. SO beautiful.









Each guest got a fan with the paprika and navy F, a program and a menu...so creative. They also had a painting of all the wedding colors in a beautiful image as their back drop. Sundee Corley is the artist and is SO talented.

The DJ was Brandon Williams- BEST DJ I have ever worked with and just so you know how serious I am- he DJ's for the Cowboys! OMG!! Check him out here!

Chris Ossenfort was the photographer- pictures of his coming soon! Check him out here!!

I love what I do! Here is me getting ready for the rehearsal! Hahaha

Tanning Turnout!!

Hey Bloggers- sorry for the delay wedding season is hitting hard and fast! I am learning how to balance everything which can be tricky sometimes. Thanks for sticking with me despite the busyness. So back to tanning cream- I LOVE Seven Nyne. It is packaged cute, smells like melon and honey, goes on smooth and was a total success. My camera is down, and the iphone pictures were not doing justice of the effects- so I decided to use my friend Amanda Marley as a great example! She used Seven Nyne tanning cream right before a wedding she was in. The results are fabulous! Check it out below. You can purchase Seven Nyne at the North Park Sephora- its sold out at The Galleria and Stonebriar.

AFTER!!!

Doesn't she look fabulous!!!
