This is a Great Gatsby week. I haven't seen the movie yet. Have you? Did you like it? I've heard such mixed reviews about it, but in my book Leo can do no wrong. I'm sure I will see it at some point.

I am SO loving THIS song right now. I first heard it in one of my Zumba classes and instantly knew I needed to find out the details.

A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got) by Fergie feat. Q - Tip & GoonRock



After I found out this song was from The Great Gatsby, I looked up the rest of the soundtrack. I pretty much love anything will.i.am does, so I went and listened to this one, too.

Bang Bang (Great Gatsby Version) by will.i.am



Happy Monday!

This week it's all about the Backstreet Boys. Their new album, In A World Like This, comes out tomorrow!

I'm a sucker for boy bands and especially this one!

Here is a newbie off of their new album: "In A World Like This"



And just because I LOVE them so much, here is one of my favorite oldies: "Everybody"



This is their 8th studio album (7th in the U.S.). This is the 1st album featuring all 5 original members in 6 years. It will also be their first independent release since they left their old label, Jive Records, in 2010. It is also their 20th Anniversary!!

Happy Anniversary boys! What boy band is your favorite?

Here are a few of my favorite songs/videos from the last week or so.

Of course, I had to put Britney first! Here is her latest from the movie, Smurfs 2. Her 2 sons also are in this with her and are so adorable!

"Ooh La La" by Britney Spears



And because I saw her in concert last night, opening for Bruno Mars. She's so good live. Her voice is so unique!

"Burn" by Ellie Goulding



AND, just because I love him and his new album and this song, here is the latest JT single/video.

"Tunnel Vision" (Explicit) by Justin Timberlake



Just a little racy? No?

Happy Monday y'all!

I'm going to start posting my favorite song of the week every Monday.

It doesn't have to be a new song, it could be an older song that I have recently heard again and love.

Here is today's song:

#thatPOWER by will.i.am featuring Justin Bieber

I really love the beat and am a huge fan of both Will.i.am and JB.

Happy Monday y'all!

So here we are again.Yes, I got fakes put back on. I am in a wedding in April and decided I wanted them again for the shower and parties and then eventually for the wedding. I know I'm so vain, but I love having them.

Here are my nails this week:

I've almost completed two full weeks of using MyFitnessPal. 

Is anyone else on there? Find me at ladanielson.

Using this app, has made me realize how much I'm eating and what I'm eating and also that working out on a daily basis affects my calories. I'm proud that since joining the gym and really committing myself back on February 16th I am down about 5 lbs. That's about a pound a week, which is HUGE for me! I can already feel it in my clothes and can tell my body is changing for the better. 

I've been exercising about 3 times per week. Usually Zumba.I've also been eating better, eating smaller portions, I cut out coffee completely (for lent), am limiting soda and drinking more water. Oofta. It's all hard work, but it's really paid off so far. It's only been one month and I'm just beginning, but I feel like I've gotten a good start and want to keep on going. I've found a lot of motivation all around me from fellow bloggers to my friends to just seeing the results of it all and wanting to keep going.

This week I have been groovin to Nelly's "Hey Porsche." He is one fine lookin specimen.

I love it and crank it up anytime I hear it!

I'm so happy that Fashion Star is back! Anyone else watch it? I love Jessica Simpson. Always have and always will. I have no shame and I know she's a ditz, but girl knows her shit and no one can argue with that.

I'm excited about my two new Zumba workout tanks I got off Zulilly. I'm slowly building up my stash of new AND cute workout clothes. I've realized I don't like working out in anything else other than tanks. I just get too hot in t-shirts and I like working out if I feel like I look cute.

Also? Can we talk about cuteness, please? My friend owns a laser business and made me this cutsom iPhone 4s case. I just got it today and am in love!!!

I'm looking forward to this weekend. No really big plans. I am going to a jeans party tomorrow evening, running some errands and hopefully a little shopping at the MOA.

What about you?

So I am continuing my Photoaday Challenge this year, but I am not using any sort of prompt. I am taking a few photos a day and then picking one per day to be that photoaday winner.

I'm linking up with:

Jamie over at This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

and Jenn over at Perfectly Imperfect for InstaLately!

If you follow me on Instagram, then some of these pictures will look familiar, if you don't shame on you!! Go find me @MrsMamaD

1. I'm Loving this newer artist...Olly Murs. He was in the KDWB Skyroom at the beginning of February. 

2. I'm Loving this song that he sings! I am so obsessed!

3. I'm Loving my new mascara that I purchased recently.

4. I'm Loving that this little girl is sitting on the potty more and more everyday. Going both 1 and 2 by the way. So pumped!!

5. I'm Loving these cute boots I picked up for Hailey. You can never go wrong with black sequins.

6. I'm Loving this Puma track suit that Hailey got for a late Christmas present from The Hortons. It's so adorable!

And she looks so cute in it!

7. I'm Loving my new workout tops and our new gym membership. I've been more motivated lately not only with going to the gym and working out, but with what I am eating & drinking. I'm also Loving Zumba classes.

8. I'm Loving the way I am feeling lately. I recently gave up having Caribou Coffee on a daily basis and I have to tell you I am feeling a lot better. I feel like I have more energy and I think with drinking more water and working out only a couple times a week is helping too.  It's only been 2 weeks today, but I'm Loving it!

9. I'm Loving my Eric Condren Life Planner that I received last week and have gotten so many compliments on it.

10. I'm Loving this little girl and the man I made her with. They just light up my life!
