Since it's Friday and I feel like I have been absent from blogging for a while, I wanted to share some of my favorites.
1. This iPad case. Holy goodness! This is the most versitle amazing case ever. I can serisouly not rave about it enough. Speaking of raving about it, there will be a post next week about all the awesome stuff that this case can do and more reasons why I like it so much.
2. The Vampire Diaries. If you want to know more about my current obsession with this show check out my Netflix review that I did last week.
3. This red streak in Elena's (Nina Dobrev) hair. I'm considering adding a red streak to my hair as a part of my summer hair. (Should I? Weigh in about it in the comments!)
4. These pants that I snagged from Ross. They feel like silk amazing-ness, and are right up there in comfort with yoga pants. They were also a total steal at $12! Thank you Ross!
5. My new cup with a straw. First off why are these cups so amazing? There is something about drinking everything out of a straw that just makes it better. Besides that they cup is purple. HOLLA.
6. The fact that a ton of Targets shoes are on sale. Which I took advantage of and ordered those two adorable pairs of wedges that you see up there. I can not wait for them to get here!
It's Friday, yay! Even though I have basically had two lazy days in a row (thank you professors for deciding to have online class!) i'm still excited for it to be Friday because it means that S doesn't have to work. I do want to say welcome to those of you that are over here visiting me from Avoiding Atrophy! I hope you'll follow along and stay awhile.
So today I wanna share a quick little target haul with y'all! I did a little bit of shopping yesterday (obviously) and found a cute new purse (which i'll probably share at a later time, cause it's great!) and I found the cutest things in the dollar spot at target that I just had to share.
First of all I love this little dot pattern, its super cute! So I picked up a little flip journal, and these adorable note cards.
I also found this pack of paper. I wish the sheets were a tad bigger but i'm sure that I can find something to use them for. It comes with also those designs that are in the right picture.
I also picked up these two packs of sticky notes, the dot pattern, and a to do one. I though the to do one would be great for making little lists. I also picked up this awesome liquid chalk marker, which I plan on using for this chalkboard that I made S last year for his birthday.
The best things is that all of the items were only a dollar each! That is always a win in my book.
Last but not least its time to #backthatassup with Whitney.
Since it is the last day of January, it's time that I give you an update on how I am doing with my resolutions. So that you don't have to reference the original post, here is what my resolutions are.
So how did I do?
Read 1 book each month - I did great with this one! I actually finished a book I started in December, and then read two more books and started a third. In case you want to check them out the books that I read were: The Widow File, Divergent, and Insurgent, all of which I highly recommend!
Eat healthier - I did okay with this one but not as great as I would like. I'm learning that having healthy food around for S & I is actually kind of hard work. It's just hard to keep fresh food around without going to the grocery store every week which is no bueno for me.
Workout 3 times a week - I also did okay with this one for a while, but slacked off when school started. It's a little understandable because i'm still getting into the swing of things. But I plan on being back on this in full force starting next week.
Blog 3 times a week - I've done great with this one! I've actually been scheduling posts, and sometimes getting in here to blog more than 3 times.
Only buy thrifted clothes - I haven't needed to buy any clothes at all so i'm doing good with this one so far. I also did a purge of my closet so now i'm rediscovering pieces that I own that were getting hidden with all the stuff I didn't wear.
Stay organized - I'm doing okay with this one but could be better. I'm still trying to figure out how to organize my desk space so that it works the best for me and I haven't found it yet. I also just have my textbooks and school spirals just laying around in stacks to I need to find and efficient way to store them so that they aren't just laying on the floor.
Soda Plan - This is the one that I am most proud of because I am right on track if not even ahead! I'm down to not even drinking a soda most days, and when I get one I have to get like a super small one because I just can't even drink the whole thing. Soon enough i'm hoping I won't feel the need to get one at all!
Now the other thing in order for today is linking up with Whitney for #backthatazzup Friday! Cause we all need to share the good jamz.
Hey y'all! It's finally Friday and I have something great to share with y'all. It's a giveaway that I am participating in over at Denim & Daydreams! It has been so great sponsoring Amanda, and I would definitely recommend it because she is FANTASTIC. So without further adieu, check out the other girls blogs, follow me on facebook and twitter (if you don't already) and enter to win some fantastic stuff!
Also because it's Friday it is required that you #backthatazzup with Whitney over at I Wore Yoga Pants, so not only to you have the chance to win some awesome stuff, you get to listen to some fantastic jams. Man, who could ask for a better Friday?!
Ah that old debate lingo popping into this little blog here, haha. Anyways I am here today to give you my resolutions for 2014. I honestly have never really made a list of resolutions so it will be interesting to see how this plays out, and what I actually stick and commit to.
My first resolution is to at least one book every month. Since S got me a kindle for my birthday a few months ago I have been reading a little bit but I used to read a lot more. So that is why I want to read at least one book every month. This months book is The Widow File. I actually started reading it in early December but recently I haven't made much time for myself to read.
Second, I want to try to eat healthier. Now I know that this is a resolution that a lot of people make and a lot of people don't stick to it. S & I have already started trying to fill our fridge and pantry with healthier food, but our biggest downfall is probably fast food. I'm wanting to get in the habit of cooking more often and finding stuff that is easy too cook for those nights when I don't really feel like cooking.
Third, workout 3 times a week. Yet another goal that a lot of people make and don't stick too. Well I have been putting off my workouts for too long, so armed with my c25k app I will be starting my workouts in full force next week. I picked 3 times a week because that is what the app goes by, and Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are actually the best days for me to fit in my workout. And yeah I waited till this next week to started because I have been enjoying my last few lazy days, and S having days off, since school is going to start back in just a few weeks.
Four, blog at least 3 times a week. I have a lot of stuff that I want to post on my little slice of the internet, and this resolution is to just help make sure that I dedicate time to this space, and make sure that it doesn't get put on the back burner. I want to grow my blog as much as I can this year!
Fifth, only buy thrifted clothes. I picked this resolution because the fact that I live like 5 minutes away from a mall makes it all too tempting to go there to shop and then I end up spending wayy too much money. So since I know there are also quite a few thrift and second hand stores around here like Plato's Closet, I am going to try going to one of those places when I need clothes. Along with this I am also going to purge my closet within the next week or so and get rid of all of the stuff that I don't wear cause there is a TON.
Sixth, stay organized. I just bought the most perfect Erin Condren planner, and I really want to commit to using it to help me stay organized. Whether its school, workouts, dinner plans, or bills, I want to make sure that I stay on top of everything so that I can get everything done as efficiently as possible.
Lastly, I want to stop drinking soda. I have a weakness for Dr. Pepper, and I really want to commit to stop drinking it. I have done it before so I know that it's possible and I can do it. I just came up with an outline of how i'd like to slowly wean myself off it.
So there you have my resolutions of 2014 explained! I'm gonna do a little update, either once or twice a month, to try to use my blog to hold myself accountable for my resolutions, and let you know how I'm doing!
Hello everyone, and happy Friday! I know that I'm getting here a little late in the day, but I have been quite busy. I suddenly felt like giving the apartment a little deep cleaning, so I have been occupied with that. But I am proud to say that I finished my cleaning, and hopefully it will stay this way for a while.
I present to you one of my favorite Christmas songs, by Mannheim Steamroller.
The day has finally arrived! It's the great Secret Santa Swap Reveal the swap was hosted by the lovely Allie over at Tales of a Twenty Something. So I bought for Jess over at Stamp in my Passport, and I hope she enjoys her gifts!
I received 4 lovely things in the mail from my secret santa!
What great gifts! I mean twelve Christmas movies!
If you need me i'll be in front of the tv all week watching these.
