5 Things Link Up

Happy Thursday My Friends,

I finally, FINALLY had a chance to join this week and I am so excited to share because sharing is caring!

1.  My Top 5 favourite songs right now and lets be honest I sing each of these songs at the top of my lungs in the car, on repeat, everyday!

* All of Me by John Legend

* Stay With Me by Sam Smith

* Do What You Want With My Body by Lady Gaga f. R. Kelly

* Fancy by Iggy Azalea, THE best music video EVER!

* Am I Wrong by Nico & Vinz

Download them all now so you can sing aloud with me while you're driving down the street!

2. Dukan Diet Lifesavers:

Besides Little Miss Mama, I wouldn't be as successful as I am without Sugar Twin and Jello Fat Free Sugar Free pudding.  Sugar Twin has saved my Earl Grey tea times at Tairalyn's house (she makes the best cip of tea I have ever had) and the fat free, sugar free pudding is the satisfying treat I get to enjoy while relaxing after a long day!

3. H&M has the best tank tops out right now!  These tank tops are long, forgiving, and look great dressed up for work and casual for every day wear!  At only 6.95 a tank, head to H&M and pick up the go-to tank of the summer! (Make sure to try them on as I recommend going a size smaller)

4. Television Guilty Pleasures:  When I am looking for something fun to watch and not have to think about it, I watch  Melissa & Joey or  Baby Daddy on ABC Spark.  It actually has some really good shows, like my all-time favorite The Fosters, I encourage you all to check out that channel and enjoy some good, mindless, heart warming television.

5. Sharing my view as I wrote this post!  I just love dachshunds and mine the most, they have huge personalities and are such characters.  Harley always sleeps on his back and Tucker (the white lump) buries himself each and every night and anytime he sleeps.

Have a great day my friends!

Oh So Lindsay's Five Things {Weekly Link-Up}

Hi my friends,

I know it has been awhile, I miss you too!  I have been busy not being busy, if that makes any sense at all.  I had the opportunity to join in this weekly link up and of course I said yes!

Here are the 5 things I am loving right now:

1. Of course as a TV blogger right now I am completely obsessed with Big Brother Canada and the online spoiler website Online Big Brother.  I am one of those people when it comes to reality TV I can not WAIT for the next episode, so I am on here more often than Facebook and Instagram, checking up on the latest gossip, competitions played before the episode and strategies.











2. I'm sure this next one is on everyone's list and I go in and out of interest with it, as of right now I am all Pinterest again.  I am looking up new smoothie recipes, cabin chic decor for my bestie who is doing a remodel right now, kids crafts, and interview tips.

3.  Sometimes I sit here in bed, catching up on PVR, playing on my tablet or writing a bog post and I think how lucky I am.  Tragedy has stricken me and yet I am so thankful for everything I have today.  I am a true auntie to 4 kidlets, to which none are a blood relative and right now make me the proudest women in the world.  I had the chance to quit my job, yep I quit, and travel europe with one of my best friends, I've been able to be unemployed since October and open up my schedule to help out a struggling new mama.  I have been able to spend more time with my family which has come with lots of laughter and love, with a few fights here and there like most, wink wink.
Life is good my friends, I never had lemons, but the lemonade I do have keeps on getting better and better.





4.  Most people want to lose weight and eat healthier and there are so many ways to do it.  There's this app BEST part about it ... when you click save, it links into My Fitness Pal for you and adds it to your daily diary.  Need some encouragement add me as your friend cher1413. (I am sure this app has way more potential than I have discovered)
and that app, this recipe and that diet, and this regiment and that way.  Well my friends what seems to be working well for me right now is an app called My Fitness Pal in combination with Map My Walk.

My Fitness Pal allows me to track everything I eat and become accountable for the things I put into my body.  It even has a barcode scanner which makes it even easier to keep track quickly and efficiently. With helpful tips and the ability to link up with your friends, you will receive support from all angles.  Couple this with the Map My Walk app that tracks your walk, run, jog with GPS and calculates how far and how many calories burned based on pace and length and the

5.  Daschunds.  I have two long haired daschunds and I follow 15 other Daschunds on Instagram.  I just absolutely adore them, they bring me so much joy and unconditional love.  How could you not love these faces?








Happy Easter My Friends!
