 Rayna is a beautiful part time model (just look at these pictures!). Sexy curves and a great sense of fashion are front and center on her Instagram page. She has a great vibe and her style inspires me to try things outside of my comfort zone.(4,910 followers)

She paints! She paints AMAZING things and she's ridiculously adorable! Just look at her! I could eat her up. She has an Etsy page where she sells her work, you should check that out too! I've been eyeballing some coffee mugs....or possibly I'll see if she could do something semi custom for me? "Home is where your moosen are" with little watercolor versions of my kitties? (they stomp around like they are moose, hence, moosen) (9,614 followers)

How charming is she?! With and Instagram full of fashion and a blog to back it up, I don't think I'll ever run out of fun outfits to look at! She truly is a barbie princess, and clearly a Disney lover too! (OH how I love to feature fellow Disney addicts!!!) (5,561 Followers)

August Goals!

I'm a couple days late on this list, but I will start with today's date and move forward!

I found out today that I am 203 lbs. This is the largest I've ever let myself get. In 2012 I had drawn then line at 198 and decided to try and do something about my weight. I was eating healthier, I worked at a gym, so I had a free membership, and I was holding myself accountable for everything I put in my body. I was so proud when after only 3 and a half months I was down to 165! When Mr. Vintage and I got together, I started slipping a little. I was still working out, but now with him, so my routine changed. I was eating out more for date nights. I started drinking Coke again, and in excess. It was a mess. I stopped caring, because he kept telling me I was beautiful. (I'm not blaming him for this, I'm blaming myself for getting complacent)

Now I'm unhealthy. I get winded walking up hills, my face turns red, I see nothing but a row of chins and rolls in the mirror, and none of my clothes fit anymore. So I'm doing something about it (and everything else in my life.) It will be a hard path, weening myself off Coke again (I get bad caffeine headaches) and working out more (I also get headaches when I do cardio, thanks to high blood pressure).

So here it is, my list of August Goals!

I'm going to try and keep a weekly update on these goals (maybe more, but I'm at least pushing myself for weekly) to let you guys know how I'm doing! Do you have any goals this month? Share them with me! I'd love to see them! 

Until next time, thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!
