Yes, that is me and Jenna Lyons! (The prez of J. Crew!)

A few weeks ago, Ashley asked me what I was up to tonight. Did I want to spend $25 to go to a prviate Amex event at J. Crew that Jenna Lyons would be at? Where I’d get that $25 back in a gift card? And everything else for 15% off? With champagne? I think you know the answer.

About Jenna’s outfit: her and some other important biznass lady were both wearing military jackets like that, over frilly, sparkly stuff. I want one.

About my outfit: I thought it looked so awesome when I left the house this morning but got a little droopy by then. The skirt is J. Crew, purchased at the outlet this weekend, and the tights are Ralph Lauren, also purchased a la outlet this weekend. I wore them with cute black booties and was pretty happy with my outfit. 

So what’d I buy with that discount? Miraculously, only this skirt. But it was a size 2, and I was psyched. 

Chocolate That’s Good For You!

At the Healthy Living Summit, I received a bag of Adora calcium supplements. I wasn’t terribly excited about the idea of calcium supplements—until I realized they were chocolate disks!

Since I try to stay away from milk/dairy to be kind to my sensitive stomach, I’m probably not getting enough calcium without a supplement. I take a calcium-magnesium-zinc supplement sometimes, but it’s not made out of chocolate. These little disks are so yummy that I would eat them if they weren’t good for me! They’re only 30 calories, and they have 500 mg calcium, 250 IU vitamin D and 40 mg magnesium. They come in both dark and milk chocolate varieties and are extra-yummy after they’ve been refrigerated.

And I have two bags to give away to a lucky winner!
