Randomness
Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well! I am finallyyyyy done with my semester and have been enjoying some time off before I have to deal with the real world again. These are some of the things that I have been up to for the past few weeks:
I started a mini garden!!
I don’t know what got into me but I decided that I want to grow my own vegetables this summer.. so my mother who is an avid gardener gave me some plants. I planted tomatoes, cucumbers, kale, and lettuce in my boyfriend’s backyard. I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to gardening but we’ll see what happens!
I also discovered Mimosas:
I got to try one of these for the first time at my sister’s bridal shower, and I don’t know what I was doing with my life before Mimosas… they’re delicious! Literally my new favorite drink!
I have been working out a ton!
My cousin Melissa, from Mel’s Miles, is my workout buddy whenever I am home from school. Since I’ve started my summer break, we have been working out several times a week. We even did a 6 mile run this past Monday! I’m not going to lie, that run was very difficult for me because it was the longest I’ve ran in over a year, but I am glad that we finished it and I can’t wait to get back into shape!
My hairstylist fixed my botched dye job from earlier this year, and I feel like myself again!
I practiced hairstyling on my cousin!
I am doing the hair and makeup for my sister’s wedding in August, and my lovely cousin let me practice doing her hair. While this isn’t the look I am going to do on my sister, it was still fun!
I also got to play with more makeup!
My sister Rachel, had her bridal shower last weekend and we did a makeup trial run before it! As always, nothing is more fun for me than playing with makeup/beauty related things.
It was a beautiful day out and my boyfriend and I went on a random date!
Fun fact: this location was where we went on our first official date almost 3 years ago!
I also have been preparing to apply to Occupational Therapy school!
The 2015-2016 cycle of applications opens in July so I have been running around trying everything ready. Since I switched career paths this past fall and decided to apply to grad school the same year, I am feeling very overwhelmed however, I am trying to stay calm, and be positive. Hopefully everything will workout (schools please accept me!!!). I also registered to retake the dreadful GRE in June, so not excited for that!
What have you all been up to?
Missed my latest post on my beauty blog?
Random Favorites from March!
Hey guys!
“Long time no read?” (too corny?) Anyway, sorry I have not posted on this blog in a while:
1) I did not have my laptop charger with me at school last week which obviously made it difficult to post anything.
2) It’s the end of the semester, which means I am living under a rock until beginning of May
——————————————————————-
On a higher note, my birthday is in April! Also, here are some of my “lifestyle/random” favorites from the month of March:
1.Running!
After being lazy for several months, I finally forced myself to start running regularly again! I forgot how much I love it! I ran cross country all throughout high school and some of college, and always identified myself as a “runner”. However, after I quit cross country I kind of felt like I lost that identity, and almost did not know how to “workout” anymore. For the past two years, I really have been struggling with find my “niche” when it comes to exercising. Then it started getting warm out again, and I decided to just go for a run/ walk type thing and I realized that running is my “niche”. I am definitely not fast or competitive, but running is the some how the most “enjoyable” form of exercise for me (even though it’s painful at the same time).
2. Guacamole
My boyfriend and I have been putting guacamole on our sandwiches lately and it’s seriously the best and it’s healthy!
3. Pinterest and Buzzfeed
The humor section from Pinterest,and Buzzfeed have been my life this past month. I literally sit at work and look at all of the funny animal memes even though I look ridiculous since I’m constantly laughing to myself, it makes my day and I don’t care if I look crazy. If you haven’t checked out these two websites yet, you need too!
4. Iced Green Tea Latte with Soymilk from Starbucks
Best $5 drink ever! I’ve been trying to cut back on Starbucks coffee (even though I kind of failed in March 😦 ) but I just can’t resist the iced green tea latte with soymilk! Yum!
5. Makeup
I went through a phase in the beginning of the year where I just wanted to get rid of all of my makeup because I felt like I was “not going anywhere” and obviously that is discouraging.However, I recently got asked to do makeup for a wedding this summer,and even though I am doing it as a hobby , it has made me fall inlove with makeup even more (all makeup in general). I’ve loved playing with makeup since I was a little girl, and have been watching YouTube videos since JuicyStar07 was starting out. So,I’ve always known I that I want to work with makeup but never have had the courage to actually try to make my dreams come true. Sometimes feel discouraged because it’s not a “safe” choice for a career, or maybe my skills are not good enough to be a succesful makeup artist. However, I know that if I don’t stop being afraid to go for it, then I really never will succeed.I am thinking about getting a makeup artistry certification, am not sure how to go about that since I don’t particularly want to go to a standard beauty school but I think it would be amazing if my dreams of working in the beauty industry could actually come true. So I guess the first step is to find out how to get a makeup artistry certification/license?
