Go Red is a campaign by the American Heart Association designed to spread the word about heart disease and prevention. It is challenging you to know your risk for heart disease and the steps you can take to prevent it.
As a cardio-thoracic ICU nurse, a healthy heart is of utmost importance to me. I've seen first hand the damage that things like high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, and diabetes can do to your body, and it's not good. I've seen my share of women and men, young and old....undergo open heart surgery. Heart disease can happen to anyone. If you're interested, the Go Red site has some great tips on prevention. Check it out here:
So in honor of Friday & the weekend, I'm linking up with my friend {av} from {longdistanceloving} for her weekly Friday Fancies party and of course, incorporating a little red.
On the agenda for tonight? A sushi date with the husband. It's been one of those weeks where our schedules are complete opposite, so I've been looking forward to tonight since...oh, about Tuesday when we made plans. And I've been craving sushi since then as well. This outfit would be perfect for our date tonight and pretty much suits my style. I love the ruffles, the skinny black pants, flats, and the little bits of sparkle!
Happy Friday to you!

How do people get the messy bun to look so darn cute??? Mine always looks....well... messy.
Have fun on Sushi night! I'm afraid I'm not crazy about Sushi. I know, shame right? Now I can't sound all sophisticated and cosmopolitan when I say I'm going for Sushi.
I love hearing about your perspectives as a nurse Kristen!!
And this outfit is perfection. How fun!! Hope you have a wonderful time with hubby tonight! Matthew and I are having a stay-in and watch Harry Potter kind of night... there's a whole flippin INCH of snow here in Austin so pretty much the whole city is shut down!!! AHHH!!! :)
