Artificial Sweetener.. too good to be true?

You guys.. I have a serious, serious addiction to sugar..

seriously.

its rough.. I LOVE sweets, but lately.. my thighs have been lovin them too!

So the other day at the grocery store, I decided to give Crystal Light a try, and to my surprise, it’d delicious! Its only 5 calories and O sugar (an excellent solution to my super sweet Kool-Aid)

but the problem is, I’ve heard artificial sweeteners are bad for you! is this stuff really bad for you? and too good to be true? I sure hope not! =)

What do you guys think about artificial sweeteners? Do you use them? and how often? and which ones?

My latest obsession

So ever since I went to sips and strokes, I’ve been wanting to paint something again! I’m definitely NOT a painter.. but it was so fun!

So I started looking around at the Tipsy Tavern and SipsnStrokes websites and I found some really cute pics! and I really didn’t want to wait until I had the time and money to go back!

…sooo I went to walmart and bought a 3 pack of small canvas for 3.97 and some .97 acrylic paint!

the first one… didn’t quite turn out lol its… pretty messy! but the last 2 are…decent. ha!

the big one of course, is the one from sipsnstrokes! and the “M” I also painted but..that’s not too hard!

try #1

try #2

#3 (my fav)

I’m determined to become a decent painter! lol maybe the more I do it, the better I’ll get?? haha

AND I gotta figure out what I’m gonna do with them!

---------------------------------------------------

Yesterday my sis and I took Jason and BrookeLynn to the park! I wanted to get tons of pics but J didn’t want to cooperate! I got a few cute ones though!

and the adorable BrookeLynn!

----------------------------------------------------

anywho, I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful spring weather!! tomorrow my wesley comes home! yay! we’re goin to the park! =D hopefully I can get some more pics!

 

love,
