Day Eighty Seven and Eighty Eight: 28 and 29 March 2015

Hello everyone!

I hope you have had a wonderful weekend! I’m sure you all had a better one than me.

I don’t know what’s been wrong with me, the past few days but it is really affecting my mood. I have just been in an awful mood the last few days and everything just keeps making it worse. No matter what I do I just can’t shake how I feel. It’s not like anything happened either, on Saturday I went to Zumba like normal and I danced my butt off but before I even went to Zumba I woke up in an awful mood. I slept just fine and I got plenty of sleep, so I don’t know why I woke up so gross. After Zumba I took a nice shower and got all snuggled up on my couch and watched the rest of season one and all do season two of House of Cards. I didn’t have anything else to do, and all day I was just in an awful mood. I wasn’t happy at all, I was being rude to my parents unintentionally, and I had no desire to do anything. I used to feel like this all the time before I got put on anti-depressants but for some reason this weekend made me feel like I wasn’t on medication at all. Maybe it’s the stress of the week getting to me or maybe the medication is losing effect and I need a higher dosage. I don’t know but I can’t handle any more days like this. On top of my awful mood I have had a ridiculous headache all weekend long too. It was just not meant to be a good weekend. Another thing that contributed to my bad mood was the text message I got from one of my friends from school about housing next year and that residence life still hasn’t fixed their mistake about my room next year. After that message I emailed the woman in charge yet again to let her know the problem was still a problem and I already made plans to go see her tomorrow and I’m not going to leave until I have my answers. There is no reason I shouldn’t be in the room I signed up for, I paid all my money and the other girls I signed up with are in the room we signed up for so I don’t know why I’m not in there with them. Pretty much after that my mood hit rock bottom and nothing was going to change it. I went to bed early that night and fell asleep after watching the last episode of season two of House of Cards.

Then today when I woke up I woke up in a slightly better mood than the day before but I still feel bad for no reason. My headache still will not go away no matter what I do, but I had plans today and I wasn’t going to let it stop me. I went to see the Divergent Series: Insurgent today with my mom and it was a really good movie but compared to the book there were a lot of things that were different. However I did enjoy myself and I’m impatiently waiting for the third movie to come out, so I can see where they take it. With the amount of differences in the movie from the book I’m interested to see what they do with the next movie because they are going to have to change a lot of things around. After the movie I made my way to Starbucks to get my Sunday treat to myself before making my way back to school like I always do. When I got back to school I ate some soup my mom got me from Panera Bread and before unpacking my bag. After I unpacked I went out into the living room and watched the end of a Disney movie with my roommates while telling them all about Insurgent, even though they have never even seen Divergent they still listened to me anyway. In about 30 minutes my TV shows are going to come on first I’m going to watch Once Upon A Time, then Secrets and Lies, and then finally The Royals. I can’t decide which one I’m more excited for, so I will just have to see what happens!

I hope tomorrow will be a better day, but I don’t know. I hope you all have a better Monday than I will have, and I will be sure to tell you all about my day.

Day Eighty One and Eighty Two: 22 and 23 March 2015

Hello Wonderful People,

I hope Monday has been treating you well, my day is about halfway over and I can’t wait to go back to my apartment and get snuggled up in my bed. I’m tried and I don’t have class tomorrow so I can sleep all I want in the morning! I will talk more about that in a moment, first let’s talk about yesterday.

Sunday, was an uneventful day. I woke up an hour later than I wanted too, so I was rushed to get ready in time to go to the movies with my mom, dad, and my niece. We had decided late Saturday night that we would go to the movies because I really wanted to see Cinderella and my dad was already taking my niece, Mackenzie, to see it. So I rushed to get myself ready and packed because I was going to be heading back to school after the movie as well. To save time I straightened my hair instead of curling it so I could spend the excess amount of time on my makeup. I did a natural brown smoky eye and I lined my lower lash line with a bright blue eyeshadow in honor of Cinderella. By the time my makeup was done my mom had gotten home and it was time to rush to the movie, I didn’t even get the chance to eat lunch before we left. We got to the movie with more than enough time, and we went to the concession stand to get some drinks and something to eat so none of us would pass out. With mom and I being on diets our options were limited, we decided on large soft pretzels each because they were only 480 calories. Once we got our food and drinks we made our way to the theater and got our seats all the way up in the very last row in the middle. Once seated we got comfortable and waited for the movie to start! Disney had a little short film called Frozen Fever that came on before Cinderella and it was absolutely adorable! I couldn’t handle it, I literally thought I was going to die from cuteness overload. Then after that the movie started, and I was a little girl again for 2 hours. The movie was absolutely amazing, and I was so happy when I walked out of the theater. They did such a good job bringing it to life and I want to see it again! After the movie we went back home and I loaded up my car to head back to school. When I was back in my apartment I unpacked and looked through all of my classes to see if I had homework and of course I did. I had a group presentation due at 1pm on Monday and I quickly emailed my group members and the only one who got back to me was away on a trip with a school organization and wouldn’t be back until at least 2am. I was stuck doing the entire presentation alone and I quickly put something together and turned it in because I wasn’t going to get a bad grade because everyone else was incapable of emailing me back. After that I didn’t have any more homework to do, so I was able to sit back and relax and watch my Sunday night shows which consist of Once Upon A Time, Secrets and Lies, and The Royals. Once my shows were over I got myself ready for bed, and read a book as I slowly fell asleep.

Today I woke up at my usual time and went to all of my classes as usual. Then after class I went to work and I was able to see my friend Courtney who was away all last week and I hadn’t gotten the chance to fill her in on my life so I spent most of my time at working gossiping with her. Then we went to dinner with Sarah, and our other friend Leanne who is also one of my roommates. We spent most of dinner laughing and having a great time, but when I got back to my apartment was when my day got exciting. When I got out of my car I was greeted by a dog who had no owner around. She had a collar on so I knew she belonged to someone, and she was out in the street and I was nervous she would get hurt so I watched over her while we waited for public safety to come and get her to take her to the shelter so her owner could claim her.  She was so sweet and I wanted to keep her. While we waited for public safety we fed her some left over chicken and gave her some water and she just wagged her tail and had a great time with us and then finally she made her way home. I sure hope her owners find her because she was just the sweetest thing. While I watching after her I named her Honey because I needed something to call her and her fur was a golden honey color and it just fit so perfectly. After that I finally got into my apartment and I washed my hands of all of the chicken juice and I proceeded to craft a canvas with one of the quotes from Cinderella on it. It is Cinderella blue and says “Have Courage & Be Kind”, and that is one of the main themes of the movie and if you see it you’ll know what I’m talking about. There wasn’t much to do after that so now I am laying in Sarah’s room and waiting for my friend to Skype me. I don’t have class tomorrow because its advising day so I get to sleep in and I can’t wait since normally on Tuesdays I wake up at 5:45, so tomorrow will be a nice change.

I will fill you in on tomorrow later! I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!

Day Seventy Three and Seventy Four: 14 and 15 March 2015

Hello Wonderful People, 

I trust y’all had a wonderful weekend, I know that mine wasn’t too awful. My weekend consisted of watching movies with my mom and dad and coming back to school!

Saturday was a good day, I went to Zumba that morning with my mom and sister. We danced our butts off and then afterwards my sister gave me a homemade power muffin, which was a whole grain oatmeal yogurt blueberry muffin. It was a lot to say but it was really good and it hit the spot after working out for an hour. Then after that I went home and took a well-deserved shower and decided that since I was going back to school the next day I was going to do my laundry. I hadn’t done laundry in a while so I figured that there was no better time then while I was at home. After my shower I gathered all of clothes and made my way downstairs to sort my clothes into different piles. Once they were sorted I started my first load and started up my computer to watch season 10 of Supernatural. And that’s all I did, all day. I got all of my laundry done and finished watching the Supernatural series and now I am all caught up on what’s going on and Sarah told me I can officially join the Supernatural fan club since I have now seen every episode in order. After all of that was done I got hungry and since my mom wasn’t home I cooked dinner for the family, I made grilled chicken quesadillas and they were delicious. After dinner we all sat down on the couch and I had a glass of wine and we watched “The Other Woman” which is my favorite movie right now. Then the guy I like called me and we talked on the phone for 3.5 hours and we laughed and I was so happy and constantly smiling. I made him go to bed because he had to get up for work in the morning or we probably would’ve talked longer. I went to bed shortly after we said our goodbyes, and I had many sweet dreams of him.

Then today I slept in a little because spring break was ending and I didn’t know when I would be able to sleep in again. When I got up I was in an awesome mood so I decided I wanted to go all out on my hair and makeup. I curled my hair like usual and made it all fancy looking. Then for my makeup I did a brown and bronze smoky eye using my Too Faced Cat Eye’s palette. Then once I was ready for the day I packed all of my stuff and brought it all downstairs. By that time my mom and dad were home and we decided to eat dinner early that way I could eat with them since I had to leave around 4 to head back to school. We made sirloin steaks, roasted potatoes, and a salad. It was delicious, and it kept me full for a very long time. After dinner I packed up my car and grabbed some Starbucks before heading down the road to school. After an hour and half long drive I arrived at school in time for one of my friends to walk by and he helped me carry my belongings up the three flights of stairs to my apartment. Once inside I unpacked all of my stuff and hung out with Sarah and PJ, before we watched Once Upon A Time at 8pm. I did some homework afterwards and watched a movie with Sarah to end the night!

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Day Fifty Nine and Sixty: 28 February and 1 March 2015

Hello Party People!

I hope you all had a great end to the month of February, and a wonderful beginning to the month of March.

I often forget how short the month of February is, and I can’t believe how fast is flew by. It seems like only yesterday that I was dreading another month of existence and now I am looking forward to the month ahead. So much has happened over the last month and I can’t thank my family and friends for being there for me through it all. However on my last day if February 2015 I spent the day lounging around on the couch with my mother watching several movies that neither of us had seen yet. We started our movie marathon by watching The Fault in Our Stars which, if any of you have seen it you know, how truly beautiful and depressing it is. The love story between the two characters is one for the record books and the tragedy of having cancer at such a young age really pulls at the heart strings. My mom and I each went through a box of tissues watching this movie. If you haven’t seen it yet then you need to because it is that amazing. Then the next movie we watched is called Blended which is the new Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler movie and that was a good comedy to watch after crying my eyes out for 2 hours. I also highly recommend that movie as well. Then we ended up watching a movie that we had already seen just because it’s one of my favorites and it has Zac Efron in it so yeah… it’s called That Awkward Moment, and it’s hilarious I laugh every time I see it. Plus Zac is shirtless for a good portion of the movie and you can’t go wrong with a shirtless Zefron.

Over the month of February I have developed some new beauty favorites and because I’m obsessed with them I feel like y’all should know about them too. My first obsession from February is my Toni&Guy Casual Hair Spray. I use this every single day and it is the perfect daily hairspray because it’s not heavy and it’s not going to make your hair crunchy. My second obsession for the month is my NYX lipgloss in the color Beige, I have worn this almost every single day and I don’t think I will be giving it a rest any time soon. It’s just such a gorgeous pink and it’s not too bright or too dark so it can be worn for any occasion. My third obsession is my NYC nail polish in the color Wine. It’s a lovely cranberry color and its perfect for the winter months because it gives a great pop of color for any outfit. My fourth obsession of February is my Benefit Hervana blush. I’m pretty sure I wore it almost every single day because it gave my cheeks a bright flushed color and it made my skin look healthy while giving my cheeks a little color. My fifth obsession would have to be my Bioderma cleanser that I have been using every night to take my makeup off and that leads into my sixth obsession which is my Garnier gel moisturizer that I apply after I have cleansed with the Bioderma because the two products together leave my skin smooth, clean, and feeling great. My seventh obsession has to be my TooFaced Better Than Sex Mascara because I have worn it every day this month and it will be sticking around for months to come because I just love what it does to my lashes.  My eighth obsession isn’t a beauty item it’s actually a wine. I’m not a big alcohol drinker but on Valentine’s Day I tried this amazing wine from Olive Garden and I am obsessed with it. I have gone to Total Wine every weekend since then to pick up a bottle for my mom and me to share over the weekend. It’s sweet and bubbly and has a low alcohol concentration which makes it even better for me. With that I am done with my February obsessions.

Now let’s talk about March. Some fun holidays I want to share with you that I shall be observing this month are on the 1^st is Jensen Ackles birthday, then on the 5^th is National Multiple Personality Day, on the 9^th is National Panic Day, the 17^th is of course St. Patrick’s Day, the 20^th is National Extraterrestrial Abductions Day, the 28th is National Something on a Stick Day, and finally the 30^th is National Take a Walk in the Park Day. There are plenty more fun holidays to be observed throughout the month of March but these are a few that I think are extra special and deserve some attention.

Today was a normal Sunday for me, I woke up and got myself ready and packed my bag to head back to school. Then I ate leftovers for lunch before making my way to Wal-Mart. Once at Wal-Mart my day went a little crazy. I went there to pick up a medication but it wasn’t ready because they were out of stock and they won’t have any more until tomorrow so I have to wait for my mom to bring it down to me sometime in the next few days. Then after that my mom took me to Forever 21 because I needed some long socks to wear with boots and I know that Forever 21 has the one I was looking for. After buying $30 worth of socks we decided to go to Red Robin, which is right next door, for some appetizers and salads. We had a great time and once we were finished there it was time for me to head back to school. The drive didn’t take long and once I got back to school I unpacked and remade my bed because it was a hot mess. Then I did homework until 11:15 when I was finally done with everything I needed to worry about tonight and now here I am on my computer talking to y’all! One wonderful think about today is that Once Upon A Time came back on and the first episode was amazing and I’m so excited for this season! I can’t wait to see what happens to all of the villains and if they get their Happy Endings or not, I will just have to wait and see like the rest of the world!

Well I am going to head to bed now because I’m tired and I have a busy week ahead of me! I will fill y’all in more later! Have a wonderful Monday, well have as wonderful of a Monday as possible!
