Worst. Blogger. Ever.
August 5th. That was my last post?!?!? I really need to get my act together. My dad's always talking about how all I need is a balcony where I can pontificate properly. This blog is my virtual balcony. Ha!
So autumn came and went. So did the holidays. It felt like the Christmas season flew by ultra fast this year probably because Thanksgiving was so late. And now it's mid-January and my dining room table is still decorated for Christmas. I'll get there!
I finished my 90-day cycle of Chalean Extreme in September and since then I've been alternating between the Push and Lean circuits every week or every other week. Never in a million years would I have expected my body to respond better to weight lifting than cardio. But it did. I still do cardio twice a week and run occasionally (ran 5 miles on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day) but my body loves weights. I've had my Bowflex SelectTech's for around 6 months now and use them almost daily. Love. P90X3 is out and Chalene's supposedly announcing a new program this summer. I plan on completing both programs this year. Ambitious!
My beauty stash is INSANE. I've cut down on purchasing products because:1. I need to save $.2. Chances are I already have something similar in my hoard.My weakness is Limited Edition collections/products. I really need to put together a list of 2013 favorites. Really. I'm gonna shoot from the hip and list what's currently on my mind:
Music: Country and Deadmau5. The old country stuff is ok but I love a lot of the songs currently charting on iTunes. I bought my mom this Garth Brooks boxed set for Christmas and need to "borrow" it soon so I can upload it on my iMac. Deadmau5 can do no wrong. My dream is to see him perform live. Amazeballs. Country music and EDM. Strange combo huh?
Makeup: Stila Kitten eyeshadow, Milani Luminoso blush, Ben Nye Banana Powder, Wet n Wild Balm Stain in Nudist Colony and MAC Pro Longwear Concealer (I have shades NC20/NC25). I'm on board for anything that makes my skin look like it's glowing. Side note: the pump on the MAC concealer dispenses way too much product. Totally wasteful and annoying. I haven't figured out a way around this issue yet.
Fragrance: Viva La Juicy and Viva La Juicy La Fleur by Juicy Couture.
Food: Tofurkey Italian Sausage and peppers. My favorite weeknight dinner. I roast a bunch of peppers on weekends so I can microwave dinner during the week. Dinner's ready in less than 5 minutes. Easy peasy.
TV: Pretty Little Liars, Dexter (the series finale was the only episode in the series that I found disappointing...le sigh), Dracula (Jonathan Rhys Meyers can sink his teeth into me whenever he pleases) and Friday Night Lights (Texas Forever!).
Big changes are coming in 2014. I'm getting my place ready to put on the market!!! Once I have a buyer my plan is to start looking for a new job in Philly and buy a house in the 'burbs outside Philly. I'm over NYC and my apartment. I've been here 5 years and cannot wait for a change of scenery. My supercool co-worker told me tonight that "it's time to get the hell outta Dodge." Amen.
