Ninety Eight and Ninety Nine: 8 and 9 April 2015

Hey There Everyone,

I hope that the week has been treating y’all well! I’m just so thankful that it’s almost over, and I get to go home as usual.

Wednesday was a normal day and I didn’t really do much until after work, when I took Sarah grocery shopping. She was finally going to cook me dinner and we needed to gather some supplies! We went to Food Lion and while I was there I was finally able to find my favorite wine! I freaked out and I just had to buy it. I got a few other things and Sarah got all the ingredients she needed to make her chicken dish. Then once we got back to our apartment we put all the food away and Sarah and I worked on some homework before she went to a meeting. Once she was gone I finished my homework and watched some Disney movies. The first one I watched was Beauty and the Beast, and while I was watching that movie a huge thunderstorm came rolling through. I’m extremely afraid of thunderstorms and I was all by myself in the apartment… I was so scared and then the lights started to flicker, it was awful. It went on for a few hours before my roommates got back, and by then I was already starting another movie. I watched Anastasia, which was one of my all-time favorite movies as a kid. Once that movie was over I went to my room to do some homework that I had completely forgotten about and I ended up staying up until 1:30 because I did the assignment and I helped Sarah make a marinade for the dish she was making. So I was really tired when I woke up this morning.

This brings me to today, which hasn’t been all that exciting either but it was still a pretty good day. I woke up late this morning because I was so tired so I didn’t have time to curl my hair so I straightened it. I did my makeup and made my coffee like usual and then I went to all of my classes and nothing too exciting happened. Then while I was at work I played some card games with some of my guy friends, when one of them told me that I was like cocaine and right as I was about to get offended he told me I was like cocaine because it’s pure, sweet, powerful, and addictive just like me. He and I haven’t been friends that long so it was a little strange for him to be saying that to me but I took the compliment nonetheless. Then after work I headed straight to my room and took a 2.5 hour nap, it was much needed because the last 10 minutes of work I was struggling to keep my eyes open. I had wonderful dreams while I was napping and I was sad when I woke up to find they weren’t true. I laid in my bed an extra 45 minutes after I woke up because I was so comfortable and I wasn’t ready to get up, so I played on my phone until my stomach told me it was hungry and I needed to get up and get some food. Once I rejoined my roommates Sarah and I started to make dinner and put on a movie. We decided to watch White Chicks while we cooked an Asian inspired chicken and rice dish. It was absolutely delicious and I was disappointed I got full because I wanted to eat more of it. Then after we ate we continued watching our movie and when that one was over we watched Bridesmaids which is one of our favorites. In the middle of that movie I got a phone call from a very special person to me so I excused myself and laid on my bed talking to him and he is currently still on the phone but he is sleeping because I can hear him snoring and its adorable. He always falls asleep on me so this is normal and I usually stay on the line for a few more minutes in case he wakes back up. I don’t think he is going to though and I might have to hang up on him; which I hate doing. But I’m going to get ready for bed now and I will talk to all of you later! I hope you have an awesome Friday!

Day Ninety Four and Ninety Five: 4 and 5 April 2015

Hello there wonderful people!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday! Sorry for the late post it’s been a very hectic week so far and I haven’t had much time to do anything. Without delaying any further let me get started!

The day before Easter I spent the entire Saturday with my mom running a million errands around town! We first went to Noodles and Company for lunch and it was absolutely delicious I got Pad Thai which is Asian rice noodles, vegetables, peanut sauce, and sautéed shrimp! My mom got Japanese Pan Noodles which looked like giant earthworms on her plate but it tasted really good. After lunch we went to Sam’s club to pick up a few things we needed for Easter Dinner. After walking around Sam’s Club for what felt like hours we went back to the house to put the cold stuff away and then we went to JC Penny’s so that my mom could get a few 15 minute contour make over from Sephora. While we were there I spent some time looking around at all the products and explaining to my mom the different products that I was interested in and she ended up buying me a contour palette by Kat Von D as my Easter Gift. After that we went to Walmart to get a few more things for Easter Dinner and I picked up some hair dye because my roots had started coming in and I wanted my hair all nice and pretty for church the next day. So after dinner my mom helped me dye my hair a gorgeous vanilla blonde color from Schwarzkopf. After blow drying my hair and making sure it was perfect I went to bed.

The next morning I woke up early and curled my hair like I usually do and I did my makeup and I ended up doing my mom’s makeup as well using my new contour palette she had purchased me. Then we went to church where we watched all the little ones hunt for Easter eggs out on the playground and they all looked so adorable in their little outfits. Then during church service I decided to help out in the nursery because it was crowded in there and all the kids were hopped up on sugar from all the candy they had been eating. While I was in there one of the little boys decided to attach himself to my hip and we sat and talked the entire time and he told me all about the presents he got for Easter and what his little brother got and that now that he was 5 years old he was a big boy and got big boy toys. It was absolutely adorable and I ended up getting a picture with him because he was just too cute. Then once church was over mom and I went home to start working on Easter dinner. After she put the ham in the oven she took the dog for a walk and I decided to take a nice little nap on the couch. I didn’t wake up until 4pm when everyone had already arrived for dinner. I got woken up and poured myself a glass of wine and ate a lovely dinner with my family. Then after dinner I packed my bag and headed back to school. When I got back I spent some time with my friends and we went out for margaritas. Overall it was a really good night.

Day Ninety Two and Ninety Three: 2 and 3 April 2015

Hey there wonderful people,

The last two days have been the easiest of my week. I can finally relax after such a hectic beginning to my week.

On Thursday, I went to my classes as usual and I went to work. While at work I hung out with one of my roommates and we played board games with a friend of hers who I never really got a long with. I am making more of an effort to not hate him. I must say that I genuinely enjoyed playing all of the games even though he was there. After we played a few rounds it was time for me to clock out of work and make my way home. The drive was peaceful as it usually is, and once I arrived in town I made my way to World Market where I picked up a few bottles of wine and a new coffee mug. Once I did that I made my way to my favorite nail salon to get my eyebrows done because they were looking rough. After that I made my way home where I spent the next hour or so dying Easter eggs with my niece. Then her, my father, and I ate burgers for dinner before they had to leave and go to her Girl Scout meeting. Once they left, I changed into my comfy clothes and plopped myself down onto my couch and proceeded to watch some TV before one of my favorite movies came on. At 9pm when Maleficent came on my mom and I sat down to watch it, but I didn’t last long and I ended up falling asleep on the couch. Once the movie was over my mom woke me up and told me to go to bed which I readily agreed to. I went upstairs and got snuggled up in my bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

When I woke up this morning I get myself ready and 10 minutes before 10am I made my way to the tattoo shop where I got my tattoo done in December. It has been looking dreadful recently and it needed to be touched up. I made it there 10 minutes after it opened and the guy who did my tattoo in December was there and he got set up quickly and before I knew it he was making my tattoo look as good as new. We had a great conversation we talked about the most random things but it made the process much more bearable instead of being silent for 40 minutes while he tattooed my collarbone. My tattoo looks so much better now than it did! Once he taped me up with a nice bandage I left to go get some lunch, I went to Panera to get a chicken caesar salad to go and I grabbed some Starbucks as well because I have a caffeine addiction. Then after getting my food, I made my way to Walmart to pick up a few things. I got some nail polish because now that its spring time I needed some brighter colors, I also picked up an eyeshadow palette from Maybelline. After leaving Walmart I came home and ate my lunch and watched a movie on Netflix before starting to watch season 3 of House of Cards. I am about to start doing some homework and continue watching House of Cards. Then later on tonight I hope to be done with the major assignment I will be working on before I go to bed. Wish me luck!

I hope you all have a wonderful Friday night!

Day Seventy Seven and Seventy Eight: 18 and 19 March 2015

Hey Y’all!

I hope you have had a wonderful Wednesday and Thursday! This week just seems to have flown by, it doesn’t feel like tomorrow is Friday! Summer is another week closer and then I will officially be a senior in college! I’m so excited, I won’t know what to do with myself! Although the end of the semester does signal a few different things for me, school will be over so I will have to start working everyday again, I have to move back in with my parents for the summer, and saddest of all Sarah will be graduating and most likely moving to Wilmington, NC which is 3 hours away from me! So school ending this year will be bittersweet. Enough of that for now and let’s talk about the last two days.

Yesterday, was a fairly boring day… I spent most of my day working on a 5 page paper that was due by 7:30 this morning. I had to watch a 5 part YouTube video and take notes on it so that I would be able to do the paper correctly, and it was a major struggle.  While I was watching part 4 of the videos I fell asleep because I was exhausted and I didn’t wake up until it was time for me to go to work at 3:50. I grabbed my laptop and booked it down the stairs so I wouldn’t be late. While I was at work I finished watching the videos and started typing my paper. Then I worked on it for a few hours before I was off work at 6. Then when I got back to the apartment I made myself some dinner before grabbing a quick shower. After that I spent another few hours working on my paper because I wanted to get it over with. However at 9pm the new episode of Supernatural came on so I took a break to watch that with Sarah. Then after the episode I put my writing cap on and finished my paper by 12:30, however even after I was done I was wide awake so it took me forever to get to sleep. This brings me to today…

This morning when my alarm clock went off, I completely ignored it and kept right on sleeping. Then when I did finally wake up there was no time for me to get myself ready to make it to my first class. So I skipped my first class this morning and I don’t regret my decision. I would have been dead to the world if I had gotten up at 5:45 like I usually do on Thursdays. So I took my time getting ready this morning since I wasn’t going to the first class. I straightened my hair instead of curling it because I wanted to do something a little different then for my makeup I did something more subtle and natural looking. It turned out very pretty, I used a pale white color on my lid and blended a light matte brown on the outer corner before adding a shimmery brown in my crease. It created a very pretty natural look that was perfect for how I was feeling today. By the time I was ready for the day it was time for me to go to class. I went to my other two classes and then I made my way to work where I had nothing to do so I spent 2 hours playing solitaire on my laptop. After work I ran to the store with Sarah so we could get ingredients for dinner tonight. I am going to be making parmesan crusted pork chops with rice and broccoli, I’m really excited about it because this is one of my favorite dishes. Then after dinner we are going to drink some wine and watch some movies since neither of us have any more homework to do! Overall it shall be a very relaxing evening!

Well I’ve got to go and make dinner, I hope y’all have a wonderful Friday!

Day Sixty Five and Sixty Six: 6 and 7 March 2015

Hey there my favorite people of the internet!

So it’s Saturday and that means I’m on spring break and I don’t have to deal with school for an entire week! And so far it’s turning out to be an amazing break.

Let’s start with Friday! So I spent the first half of my day in class and packing for break. In my first class I finally was able to give my speech on depression and I did very well and it seemed that a lot people were paying attention to what I was saying. Then after that I went back to my apartment and finished packing for break and I watched some YouTube videos to pass the time. Then my last class of the day was a waste of time, and I couldn’t wait to get out of there. When 1:50 finally came and I could leave, I bolted out of the classroom and I didn’t feel bad about it! I walked to my car as fast as I could and I drove myself home. I went straight to the wine store like I do every Friday afternoon, and when I was checking out the girl at the register had to call the manager over to check my ID because my hair was a different color from what it is in my ID picture… The manager looked at her funny and was like she probably dyed her hair and rolled her eyes at the cashier. Then after I got out of the wine store I made my way to Walmart and then I finally got to go home where I sat myself down with a glass of wine and watched Cruel Intentions. For dinner, I went to an Italian restaurant with my mom and the food was gross and the service sucked. I was disappointed that I spent my calories on that meal. The rest of the night was simple, I just watched movies with my mom and drank some more wine with my mom.

So for Saturday, I didn’t actually sleep in… I woke up early and went to Zumba with my mom and I had so much fun. I danced my butt off and jumped around and in the process I burned 1053 calories it was great. I’m going to go every week because I love how it made me feel and how it is going to help me lose weight. Then after Zumba, my mom and I went to Walmart to get things for dinner all week. Then we ran by my church so my mom could set up for church on Sunday. On our way back to my house, mom stopped off and got me Starbucks which made my entire day! Then I spent a good portion of my day laying on my couch watching Supernatural before I decided that I was going to cook dinner with my mom and we made lemon herb grilled chicken with roasted potatoes and broccoli. Then we watched movies and ate strawberries before it was time for bed. We lose an hour of sleep tonight and it is literally awful! I never get any sleep… and even over break I won’t get any.

So I don’t have much more to say other than that right now, and I will see y’all tomorrow! Have a great Sunday!

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!
