I love rustic, shabby chic décor so I also used that style in her party. Some things I used were things I already had like the birdcage, the apple boxes, and the burlap and lace cloth.

I officially start T25 tomorrow! I got it on Thursday and did the first workout on Friday to try it out. OH MY GOODNESS!!! It is hard! I had to switch back and forth between modified and regular and there really are zero breaks. My grandma came over for her medicine when I had about 2 min left in the workout and then I had the 2 min cool down to do also. She is so funny! She came and stood in front of me where I couldn't see the TV and started talking to me. After the workout I laid face down
