Day Seventy One and Seventy Two: 12 and 13 March 2015

Hello Everyone!

So I’m sorry for being so late with this post but it’s been a busy few days!

So on Thursday I had to wake up super early because I had to go get a cavity filled at 9am. I woke up earlier than I would’ve liked too and curled my hair like normally do, I wanted to get it out of the way that way I wouldn’t have to do it later that day. I finished my hair and before I left to go to the dentist again I took some advil to prepare myself for the havoc my dentist was going to wreak on my mouth. Once I got to the dentist they got to work on my mouth and I was in and out in 25 minutes. After my appointment I made my way back home and I proceeded to sit on my couch as the numbing on my cheek started to wear off and watched season 9 of Supernatural. After a few hours I could feel the pain in my cheek and it was time for me to get my makeup on because I was picking my niece up from school. I did my makeup and used my new Urban Decay Shadow Box palette and was ready in time to drive across town to pick Mackenzie up from school. After I picked her up I decided to give her a little treat and we went to Sweet Frog to get some frozen yogurt. It was so good to see her because with me being off at school I don’t get to see her a lot, so when I do I like to take her out for a little aunt/niece bonding time. Needless to say she really enjoyed herself. Then after that I had to have her do her homework because she is 9 after all and I sat there and helped her with all of her subjects. Then I had to take her home because she had a Girl Scout meeting to go to, and I had to get ready for Zumba class. I dropped her off and while I was at my sister’s house she invited me over for dinner after Zumba later on that evening. I agreed and headed back to my house so that I could change for class. I did an hour of Zumba and then went over Anneliese’s house for dinner and she made chicken Caesar pasta salad which was really delicious and definitely hit the spot after the workout. I hung out for about an hour which was long enough to say goodnight to Mackenzie and grab some Girl Scout cookies for my dad. Then I came back home and went right to my bed and watched some more Supernatural before passing out.

Then on Friday I didn’t move out of my bed for a few hours after I woke up and just watched Netflix on my laptop until I got hungry and needed to get food from the kitchen. I got myself some lunch and then decided to watch Netflix from my couch for the rest of the day. Then my mom came home and told me I was going to dinner with my grandmother, so I had to make myself look presentable since I was looking like a wreck. I did my hair and makeup as quick as I could and my mom and I met my grandmother at olive garden. I got my usual delicious chicken and mashed potatoes with a large glass of wine. After that I spent the evening in my bed finishing the Supernatural series and texting some of my friends.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Day Sixty Nine and Seventy: 10 and 11 March 2015

Hello Wonderful People,

I want to start this post with a question, do y’all believe in Karma? Because I’m starting to… The other day I was on the phone with a very close friend of mine and I made fun of him for having the sniffles because he is always sick with something. And the next morning I woke up with so much congestion I thought my head was going to explode… Now I can barely breathe through my nose and I sound gross and no amount of cold medicine is helping me. I’m pretty sure my current condition is because of the weather but I can’t help but think that Karma had something to do with this. I will never laugh at someone for having the sniffles again! And my friend who always has the sniffle is currently laughing at me as I blow my nose. So that’s my question feel free to answer me in the comment section below, because I’m beginning to think there is so truth behind this whole ordeal.

Now that that has been settled let’s talk about the last couple days. Yesterday was a wonderful day, I woke up when I wanted too and I got to watch Supernatural all day… well not all day I had somewhere to be at 5:30. But until that point I could just lounge around all day and I did. I got through all of season 8 and started season 9! Then at 5:30 I had to leave to go to JC Penny’s with my mom so she could pick up her new shoes for Zumba, and I ended up getting a new pair of Nike’s too. They are a bright sky blue color with coral accents. Then after that we went to Zumba class for an hour which kicked my sick butt because I had a hard time breathing through the workout because of my nose being so stuffy. Thankfully I was able to make it through without too much difficulty, I did sit out one song just to catch my breath because I felt like I was going to pass out. After class was over my mom and I met my sister for dinner at Panera Bread because none of us had eaten dinner yet. We had a great time at dinner and my sister talked about all of the problems she has with her husband and we all listened and told her she was right no matter what. After dinner we came back home and I took a long and well deserved shower and then settled down on my couch to watch 19 Kids and Counting with my mom. Then not to long after that we all decided it was bed time and I got all snuggled up in my bed and fell asleep.

Then today I actually had somewhere to be so I had to make myself look presentable, got up around 10 and did my hair and makeup before making my way to the dentist. After 20 minutes of being stabbed in the gums by the dental hygienist the dentist came in and told me I needed to have another cavity filled. This kind of news is no longer new to me, every time I go to the dentist it seems that I have another cavity that needs to be filled. My dentist told me that it had nothing to do with my dental hygiene but it’s actually my teeth that are the problem, I have weak enamel and the way my teeth are shaped makes it very hard to reach all of the crevices which makes it hard to clean. All of those things add up to make me a cavity machine. It’s a struggle, so tomorrow morning I will be going to get yet another cavity filled. After leaving the dentist office I wanted to do something fun and since I cashed in all of my coins earlier that day I decided that I wanted to go to Ulta and buy an eye shadow palette that I have had my eye on for weeks. I drove across town and when I got there I was very disappointed to learn that they no longer had that one in stock. I decided to by a NYX palette while I was there and I would search for the TooFaced palette at Sephora which was just down the road. The NYX palette I got is called Stormy Skies and it is a part of their Dream Catchers collection. After making my purchase at Ulta I made my way to Sephora and they didn’t have the palette I was looking for either but they did have another one that I was interested in. I played with all of the colors and I decided that I would get that one instead. It’s the Too Faced Cat Eyes palette and then while I was there I picked up the Urban Decay Shadow Box palette as well. So my treat to myself for having to get another cavity filled was three eye shadow palettes and some Starbucks. Even though I’m pretty sure Starbucks is what got me into trouble in the first place, but a girl needs her caffeine. That wasn’t all for my day, after I got home I watched a few episodes of Supernatural before my mom came to get me and we went and got dinner at Chipotle. I could only chew on the left side of my mouth thanks to the rough work of the dental hygienist, but I enjoyed my burrito bowl just the same. After dinner we went to Dick’s Sporting Goods to get a beginners yoga DVD because my mom wants to learn yoga, and I wanted to get some tank tops to do Zumba in. I found 2 Reebok tank tops that have cute sayings on them, one is white and in black letters says “fearless, sweat more” and a blue one with yellow letters that says “do more of what makes you happy”. I love both of these and I can’t wait to wear them this week. The rest of the night was uneventful because I just watched Supernatural on my couch, and now I’m in my bed talking about becoming a vampire with my friend and compelling Luke Bryan to marry me and if I get Luke does that mean my friend gets Luke’s wife. It’s a very interesting conversation to be honest, but I need to get some sleep since I have to be up early and I’m sick! I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow!

Sixty Seven and Sixty Eight: 8 and 9 March 2015

Hi, Hello, How Are You?

So I’m in a wonderful mood and it’s been great to smile and laugh again. The last two days have been great, and I can’t wait to see what else happens this week.

Yesterday was Sunday and I decided that I would get up early and go to church with my mom. So I got up way too early and got myself together to go to church and I have to admit it was nice to see all of the people there. I haven’t seen them in so long and all of them told me how great I was looking, and then they asked about school. I was happy to talk to all of the wonderful people from there who have influenced me in my life. I then helped in the nursery during part of the service and played with all the babies. There was one little boy who the last time I saw him was a baby and now he is 2 and he is so cute! His mom was in there for a little bit and when she left, he freaked out and was crying. I was able to get him to come to me and he wanted me to hold him. Once I picked him up I was able to get him to stop crying and he just sat in my lap and we played with some toys before his mom came back in. She was shocked how he was so calm in my lap and she said that he never takes to other people like that. I was flattered that he was so comfortable with me and I should’ve known he would like me because his older brother was the same way with me. Then after church was over my mom and I decided to go to Olive Garden for lunch. We got seated right away and the food was delicious. Then after that we ran back home to change our clothes because we were going to go do yoga at my mom’s friend’s house. We got to her house and we did some P90X yoga which kicked our butts. After that we came home and took the dog on a walk. Then made dinner and then finally sat down to watch some TV. One of my favorite shows was coming on and I wanted to drink a glass of wine, so I got my wine out of the fridge and got my corkscrew out and as I was about to pull the cork out of the bottle the corkscrew snapped in half leaving the screw in the cork and I wasn’t able to open it. It took some work but my dad was able to make a corkscrew out of a screw and a hanger. I was able to pour myself a glass before the show even started! Then after that mom and I watched some more TV before going to bed. I didn’t go to bed for a while though I sent most of my night on the phone laughing hysterically, and it felt so good to be happy even if it was only for a few hours.

Then today I was able to finally to sleep in! I slept till 1:30 and it was awesome, when I woke up I felt so well rested. Then I have spent my entire day on my couch with my dog watching Supernatural. That is literally all I have done, and I don’t feel bad about it. I needed a day like this especially after the last few weeks of school, they have been kicking my butt. Although I did weight myself today and I am proud to say that I have lost 20 pounds in 2 months and I am slowly reaching my goal. I only have 80 more pounds to lose and I’m not giving up now! I’m gonna start working out more and exercising when I can throughout the week to keep fit. I reached a mile stone today and I couldn’t be happier, and I just hope this week keeps getting better.

I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow

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 Sixty Three and Sixty Four: 4 and 5 March 2015

Hello Everyone!

I hope you have had a wonderful week so far, I’m so glad that tomorrow is Friday. It’s been a very stressful week, I told y’all all of the assignments that I had to do from Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday well my to-do list wasn’t done yet and I still had a lot of things to do for today and tomorrow too. With that being said lets jump into what happened on Wednesday!

Wednesday was the day that I had to present my speech to my public speaking class it is about the causes and effects of depression. I woke up early and got all dressed up for my speech and I even wore heels on a college campus covered in bricks. It was a struggle thankfully it was actually nice outside so I wasn’t freezing my toes off. So then I sat in class waiting for him to call my name to present and he never does because we ran out of time. I got dressed up and wore heels for nothing… I was so irritated. I immediately went back to my room and changed into my jeans and some boots because I was just too upset to stay all dressed up for no reason. Then after my second class of the day and on the way to my third I ran into someone who I never thought I would see back at my school because he graduated last year. It was really funny actually because I had to do a double take because I didn’t really believe he was there and he say me do it and later he called me out on it and told me how ridiculous I looked and I just laughed because I knew he was right. We talked for a few minutes and I joked on him for coming back to school just to visit a teacher and he told me to get over it and then I went to class and he went to talk to an old professor of his and I couldn’t resist the urge to tweet at him about how much I was still in shock about seeing him and we tweeted back and forth for a few minutes before I decided to pay attention in class and I thought that was it. Then after class I went back to my apartment to drop of my bag before going to work and then I went to work early so I could talk to my old roommate Courtney. Recently she has been working the same shift as me and it’s nice to be able to catch up with her. Then while I was at work the guy I ran into DM’d me on twitter and we continue to catch up for a few hours and had really good conversation and now I feel like we are more like friends than we were before. Then when I got back to my room after work, I attempted to get some homework done but it was pointless because I was so exhausted that I ended up going to bed super early. Even though I barely slept… insomnia sucks.

That brings me to today, I woke up at my normal time which is entirely too early for anyone to be awake. I got myself ready and I curled my hair like I usually do, and then when I sat down to do my makeup I must have zoned out when I put my eye shadow brush into the shadow because I picked the wrong color and I put it all over both eyelids before I realized what happened and I tried to fox the situation but it was not working so I ended up taking all of my makeup off and starting again. The second time I was able to get my life together and pick the right colors. Then after that was done I had to choose my outfit wisely because it was rainy and disgusting outside. I settled on my brown boots, my light wash jeans and a navy blue shirt with my pink fleece jacket. And after today I can safely say that I will be ordering a rain jacket this weekend because that was awful! I never want to wear my fleece jacket when it rains again. I was soaked and freezing all day at work, and I refuse to do that again. One good thing about my day was that my entrepreneurship professor bought us all McDonalds breakfast this morning and that was awesome. I haven’t eaten breakfast in so long! So then after that I got my pay check and that also made my day more enjoyable. Then after I got off work I ran to the store to pick up something for dinner and I grabbed a few pizzas that were on sale and I haven’t left my apartment since and that was around 3:30. I got right to work on homework and I even took a little 30 minute power nap before finishing a book I was reading for a book review for one of my classes. Once that was done and I turned in my outline for the chapters I read I did some other homework that didn’t take very long and then packed my bags for spring break, cleaned the kitchen, and then sat down to watch a Disney movie with Sarah. We watched Beauty and the Beast again because that is my favorite movie right now, and I’m taking it home with me for spring break that way I can watch it. I also got a surprise phone call from my niece today and she read me a poem for her class and it was about spring time and it was so cute to hear her read to me and I told her if it was possible that I might have to come and steal her away one day while I’m home for break.

Other than that nothing else has happened that is worth mentioning, so I will see all of you wonderful people later. I hope you all have a wonderful Friday!

Day Sixty One and Sixty Two: 2 and 3 March 2015

Hey There Everyone,

I hope y’all have had an amazing start to your week! Mine has been extremely busy and I am lucky to have made it through these last two days without dying.

Monday was probably the busiest day of all, I had so many assignments that I needed to get done that I was nauseous. I had to type up a health report and email it to my professor, study for a mid-term, do a very long assignment for one of my professors, make a PowerPoint presentation, and read a chapter in my textbook and take notes on it for class. All of this was due by midnight. Needless to say I didn’t do much yesterday other than homework. I ended up not going to my classes because of the amount of work that I needed to get done and on top of all of my assignments I had to go to work as well. The first thing I did was the longest assignment I had out of all of them, and it nearly took me 2 hours to compete plus it ended up being 4 pages long. Once that was submitted I got to work putting together the PowerPoint presentation for the same class I had just submitted the assignment for. That didn’t take too long thankfully, and then I was off doing the next thing on my very long to do list which was starting my health reports. I had to go to work before I could begin writing them so I took my laptop to work and spent the entire 2 hours working on my reports and studying for my midterm. Then by the time I was done with work I was exhausted and decided to order Chinese food for dinner for Sarah and I. So by the time I got back to my apartment all I had to do was eat my dinner and read my textbook. I was fortunate enough to be done with all of my work by 10pm which gave me a few hours to relax before it was time for me to go to bed.

The today I had my midterm for my 8am class and the test was so easy it only took me 10 minutes to complete it. Then I went to Food Lion to get coffee creamer because there was no way I was going to survive another day without caffeine. I got back to my apartment with an hour still to go before my next class so I lounged around on the couch and scrolled through Instagram and did a little beauty blogging. Then when it was an acceptable time to leave for class I made my way back to campus for my presentation. I was all dressed up in my nice black pants with my black boots and my wine colored button down shirt. My presentation was a hit and everyone liked my idea. My last class of the day was easy as always and then I was off to lunch with Sarah before work. I had a nice soup and salad combo before make my way to my car to exchange my book bag for my laptop bag so I could continue working on my to do list at work. I only had two things to do today but they were both fairly extensive. The first thing I got to work doing was revising my paper that was due tonight at Midnight. I had to completely rewrite the ending so that took some brain power. Then when that was done I got to work on my major assignment of the day which was to write a 5 minute long speech and make a PowerPoint presentation to go with it. It took me almost all day to complete it. I had to do my research and put all of it together in an outline before I could even think about making the presentation. I am giving a speech tomorrow on the causes of depression and the effects depression can have on a person’s life. It’s a subject that I near and dear to me so it wasn’t hard to do but I just wanted to make sure that I made it in the time required because it had to be at least 5 minutes long and I wasn’t about to lose points for something so simple. My speech ended up being 5 pages long and there are just as many sides. I avoided putting words on the slides because I didn’t want to be tempted to read off the screen. Luckily I was done with everything by 8:30 which gave me a chance to run through it and time myself. After giving my speech to Sarah I found out that if I read it word for word it would end up being 5 minutes and 30 seconds. I was thrilled to say the least. After I did that I printed out my outline and my speech and closed my laptop. I was done with everything in time to watch my Tuesday night TV shows, Sarah and I love watching 19 Kids and Counting followed by Our Little Family. We watch those shows every week and I was so glad that I was able to watch them tonight without having to do homework at the same time. Once our shows were over we made our way in to our respective rooms and went to bed earlier than we ever have before. I grabbed my speech and recited it to myself a few times before picking up my laptop and writing this post for y’all. Sorry that I have been struggling to blog lately, with it being the middle of the semester all of my teachers are handing out boatloads of assignments on a regular basis. Thankfully spring break starts on Friday so I will have a week to relax and get my life together.

That is all for now, and I will talk to y’all tomorrow hopefully!

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!
