Announcing Upcoming Giveaway!
Announcing Upcoming Giveaway!
Happy Friday! Since summer school started this week, it actually seems important that today is a Friday – days of the week again carry meaning! Where did my summer go?!
**Just an FYI…this Sunday I will post my 100 followers giveaway! Some of my blogging friends mentioned they would like to participate, I will be emailing you! If you don’t receive an email from me but would like to participate just let me know with a comment or email!**
So far I know of two things that will be up for grabs, my Splat unit and a Vistaprint Groupon voucher for $70 of Vistaprint goodness!
And, I know you’re all thinking “Vistaprint, Shmistaprint…bring on Splat!”
Also, I have added the Splat craftivity to my TpT store if you’re interested in just the amazingly cute craftivity but don’t need a whole unit! (I could have done this months ago, but it didn’t occur to me till last night…I don’t think I have a drop of entrepreneurial blood in me! Live and learn!)
Check it out by clicking the image below:
All right, back to reading Shadow of Night – the sequel to A Discovery of Witches. I’ve been waiting a year!
Happy Friday!

Thankfully, all the feedback I received agreed that the pattern itself didnt require any changes. Therefore, the versions in these pictures were made with the same pattern that youll receive if you buy, or win, the Anya shoulder bag pattern. Which leads me to...

All About The Week Quest Giveaway Winners!
All About The Week Quest Giveaway Winners!
Since it is Friday and my brain is ready to shut off for the weekend (ha, who am I kidding, it is always ready to shut off) I am going to partake in the fun Friday 5 and favorites link ups and share randoms about the week that has been!
First, I want to thank you guys for your participation in the Quest Nutrition giveaway. They emailed me to let me know how much feedback they received from it, so I am hoping we will team up again very soon away to give you guys more products! I have tell you, even on my darkest and hardest days, you guys never fail to make me smile and give the that push I need to keep going. As I said earlier this week, it has been difficult adjusting to the abundance of changes ensuing in personal life, but you guys make it worth it. This my passion. Its hard work, but I love it. Some of you say I inspire you, but you will never know how much you all inspire me. Thank you for all of the meaningful and heartfelt comments and emails. They gave me hope and faith. OK enough sappiness...
Last week when I was in the grocery store, I happened to see a trial/travel size of John Friedas Curl Reviver Mousse. Since it was like $1-$2 I figured why not try it. I love big hair. There are three things that can never be too high in life - ones heels, hair, and standards. Ha! I forgot it about over the weekend, but found it on Monday morning when I was fixing my hair for work. I absolutely love this product! It gives tons of volume, does not weigh the hair down, and it adds just enough curl - not too tight, but not too dull. It is like a wavy/beachy look. If you want an affordable, good product to add volume, I say give it a try!

Tuesday I awoke to hitting the 50 pound loss mark. It was exciting and rewarding. Its been a lot of hard work getting my life and body back, but I continue it one healthy choice and one kick-ass workout at a time. I have really stepped up my cardiovascular training over the past 2 months. I believe it is really helping. Of course, clean eating must be the top priority, but intensifying workouts never hurt anyone! Plus I rarely ever drink anymore. In August of 2010 when my gym first opened, I used the StairMill. My gym is huge - 3 stories, and only has two StairMills. It is the hardest cardio machine I ever used besides the Jacobs Ladder (I wish so much I had access to this machine!). Last year I did not use it at all. I lost motivation, so the last thing I would want to do is use a machine that pushes me to my limits. Even earlier this year, I stayed away. Finally, I snapped out of it and I have been using it again at least 4 times a week. The StairMill aids tremendously in training to make me stronger while hiking and jogging. I can absolutely tell a huge difference strength wise. If you have access to this machine at a gym, use it! It is hard, but worth it. It makes me sweat like no other. Do not expect to use that machine and look pretty. It is all about hard work. When I first started using it a few years ago, I could barely do 10 minutes. I kept it and kept working and now I can do an hour. Do not be discouraged if you can only use this machine for a few minutes - just keep trying! It is worth it!
Wednesday, my Ipsy bag came! What do you guys think about yours so far? At first glance, I was not excited. I love makeup and color. This bag just seemed kind of... boring. However, now that I have received it, it is not so bad. I am eager to try the hair mask; I am always looking for good products for my hair. I never wear concealer so I am happy to have a tube to try out! If anyone wants to try my facial cleansing wipes for something they received - let me know. I m open!
If you dont know what Ipsy is - it is a monthly makeup bag you receive via mail. It is only $10 a month and with that you get a makeup bag and 3-4 beauty products. You are billed on the first of every month and products arrive between the 10-15th! When you sign up, you get to customize your settings so you get products closely matched to your beauty preferences. If you want to join, please click here and use my link! I will appreciate you!
My mom arrived yesterday! She is here for the weekend and I am so excited to have her here. She single and ready to mingle, so I hope to show her a good time this weekend. We already started it good last night. We went grocery shopping at Target, bought some goodies at Ulta, then had dinner and a cocktail at one of our favorite restaurants "City Tavern". Now to get through this work day, then it will be time for the weekend!
Least but not least, I have the winners from the Quest Bar giveaway! They are listed below and were chosen via Rafflecopter who used Random.org. All entries were verified and I will email the winners for their shipping address!

Requirements - Java Development Kit and Visual Studio.
This article focuses on how to connect a C++ Dynamic Link Library to a Java program using the Java Native Interface. To run a C++ function in a Java program, we would require the C++ function to be in a DLL and this DLL to be loaded at run-time into the memory by the Java program.
Load the library from the Java program using the full path with the load function or let the JVM load the DLL using the system path with the loadLibrary function.
The C++ function is declared native in the Java program. Compile the file to generate the class file using the javac command.
Create a C++ header for the native function using the javah command on the generated class file. A declaration for the function is generated following the syntax java_<class>_<function>.
Create a new project to generate the DLL in Visual C++. The project consists of the header generated from the previous step, a C++ file using the function declaration generated in the header and a header consisting of the required function that is to be used in the Java program. A DLL is generated from this project.
Any C++ application can be created normally which uses the existing function.
Copy the DLL generated from Visual Studio to the path specified in the Java application and run the Java program using the java command.
As a result, the same function was used in a C++ program as well as in a Java program.
