One of the things that is changing this year will be the addition of the topic Flashback Fashion Fridays.
As I was sitting at my computer chatting with a friend this morning, on my FB page was a shared post from Va-Voom Vintage (one of my fav bloggers) that is hosting a few giveaways this month. The sponsor of the contest is a company called Vintage Box 1947.
Oh my GODDESS, I think I am in lust....there are so many pretty things (channeling my inner Golem wanting his precious)! I so want my hair to grow back fast! I plan on purchasing one of her items for an upcoming trip I will have later this year. I am still losing weight so probably won't buy my dress until a month or two before the trip... Hoping to lose at least 30 lbs by then.
You should really check them out, fantastic pieces for sale. Also don't forget to sign up for the giveaway contest yourself. You can find all the details by going to Va-Voom Vintage's blog as well to enter.
Have a great Friday!
Sincerely,
Crystal T.

Goals and New Page Added
I am adding a new page onto my blog dedicated to specific updates on my weight loss.
I am still considering whether or not I should post my "Before" pics. I simply don't know if I would be embarrassed by them or embarass my husband by my posting them. I am very ashamed of my body. There are many beautiful plus size women, but frankly I am not one of them. With shaving my head earlier this fall when my hair was falling out due to medical reasons, I just don't feel feminine anymore. I am hoping to bring back a better, healthier, beautiful me in 2013.
I have several goals in place for 2013.
Participate in the Crim Festival of Races.
Not be ashamed of my body.
Loose weight by nourishing my body with Gaia's bounty (aka fruits, vegetables, herbs, and grains) as the main source of food I consume. The doc has given me the green light to increase my protein intake but my body still gets sick everytime I attempt to do so. Seafood is still the primary source that does not get me sick and I stay the heck away from poultry as much as I loved it oh so long ago!
Cutting out the sugary drinks that I am so addicted too!
Using more organic products on my body (make-up, perfume, lotions, etc).
Losing enough weight so that I need a new wardrobe come this summer.
By "new" wardrobe, I mean majority of it upcycled from old clothes, remade into something new that is fitting and hopefully vintage inspired. If anything is purchased hopefully it will be vintage fashions or recycled items from an Etsy Shop, Salvation Army, or Goodwill store. I don't like today's fashions and hope that by losing weight I will be able to fit into treasures from the past. Only exception is shoes. I might invest in a new pair of shoes.

New to Vintage & Bunny's Celebrating!
So the past few months I have been expressing my interest to my friends and family my new found love for something old....vintage clothing!
Today as I read thru my favorite blogs on the subject I came across Bunny's Blog "The Musings and Adventures of a Pinup Mama" and noticed that she is hosting a great giveaway!
All I am going to say is that if you LOVE MARILYN like I do, then you will want to visit her blog by clicking here! There you will find out about Bunny's wonderful giveaway and what it has to do with one of the most beautiful women in American History (at least in my eyes).
Bunny is celebrating the anniversary of her first PinUp shoot! I could just hope to be beautiful enough to do this one day! I would love to be able to pose for a photograph and look like a vixen from the 50's and give it to my husband!
On that note, I should also let you know should you ever want to have a pinup created via Watercolors, check out Epiphanies Design! The artist T.S. Lamb is a close friend of mine and brilliant artist. I am just not in a place mentally to have my portrait drawn yet. I am too shy and dealing with health issues that I just simply don't feel pretty/sexy enough right now. I will get there one day though!
So make sure to check out Bunny's Blog and enter the contest for her giveaway!
Blessed Be,
Crystal T.
