Feel a bit blazè today. Not sure why, maybe it's the gloomy weather? Even though I'm embracing the rain because it's warmer than snow. I tried to pretty girl rock this morning (even put on a shiny skirt) but wasn't super feeling it. Maybe it's today's eyelashes (or lack thereof).
Keeping it positive & happy is my goal for today and this week.
I choose how I feel and I need to remember that I can't change or control what others think or do but I can change how I react and deal with them.
Black nails with a surprise of turquoise and a pink macaroon.
Yesterday was a beautiful Spring day...even though it's the middle of Winter. It was sunny, the sky was blue & dare I say even a little warm.
Something about yesterday made me get out of bed feeling pretty & doing the pretty girl rock!
I had a whole bunch of errands to do before heading out to Big J's house for Mexican. So I did my hair, put my face on and even stuck on eyelashes.
I pretty girl rocked my way to the coin laundry, around the supermarket looking for avocados (& got several look backs from a cute guy...who was with his gf), got last minute supplies from the 100 yen store before coming home and getting my domestic goddess on.
Yesterday was good, happy, positive & pretty. Do what makes you happy and feel pretty...even if it is only to run errands.
Keri Hilson knows what's up! I love her Diana Ross and those eyelashes...giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrlll!
So we went snow boarding on the weekend...my first time since I've been in Japan.
Surprised that I could actually still do it reasonably well and even though I had some massive spills I still managed to look like a bawse in front of the boy.
I've also decided that when I get really good and don't fall over as much I'm gonna be a complete bunny (like the ladies I saw on the mountain) with big fake eyelashes, long hair all out and a super cute outfit. For reals.
Boarded like a bawse, naked onsen & okonomiyaki. Oh and I got to drive the truck. Like a bawse!
Today I woke up at my alarm to turn the heater on. I usually turn the heater on and then sleep for another hour before I actually get up.
This morning I woke up (after a particularly horrible dream about some parasitic fish things in a swimming pool...not important but so horrifying!) to turn the heater on, then then smuggled back down in my blankets but sleep eluded me (I was surprised too, I hate mornings..especially cold ones!). Anyway, I decided I would run a bath instead of having a shower. Best idea ever.
I even had time to "do" my hair, take my time putting on my makeup and getting dressed AND make a smoothie to drink while watching an episode of the middle. I never have time for breakfast...let alone time to turn on the computer and watch something! Feels good!
Today has started out right. I'm happy, positive and looking forward to things to come.
Running tonight with Ken for the first time. This plus size Barbie is gonna がんばろう!!
I wrote this post last week but my computer was actin' a fool and wouldn't let me upload pics...so now I'm playing catch up.
Sometimes it's nice to be able to stay in bed until lunch time (or longer) and do nothing but catch up on TV, play fruit ninja and flick through magazines.
This weekend I have effectively done just that. Both days. I feel slightly guilty for not being more productive, but I did manage to clean my house...sort out my wardrobe and get rid of clothes I haven't worn in a while, do about 6 loads of laundry and take them to the dryers, visit a friend I haven't seen an a few months and pick up a snowboard from him for next weekend, catch up on the news back home via skype, cook a delicious butter chicken pie and take delicious baths with my wonderful new bath bombs from lush.
I know I promised more fashion-ey posts but this week i've been so busy with work in the city I didn't have time to take any pics (although my outfits were totally blog worthy!). I also got a littlebit behind on my domestic goddess-ness this week...but with a new hair cut and colour I'm back on it!
This year is going be great! I just know it! I can already feel all the greatness that it will contain...although I have no idea what that greatness is, I just know it's out there waiting for me to experience it!
I'm going to get it together on this blog this year! I keep saying it, I know but it will be a way for me to keep up with the resolutions for the year.
I never make resolutions because I never stick to them, like most people. So I figure if I make some, I might as well try this year. As long as they are not too far fetched and SMART (simple, measurable, achievable, realistic and there is a time frame!) look at me using something from my years of sports study! YAY go me!
So this year I'm going to...
become more of a domestic goddess. Cook at home more, and be creative even if I'm only cooking for me! Be more organised at home and at school. Keep on top of housework and commitments and everything!!
be more forgiving and less angry! Remembering to not take things too seriously and to breath..and then remove myself from situations that make me angry and upset, asses why and then deal with it.
open my heart. That's the only why I'm going to find (and get!) what I want. Or not. But if it's not open then I'll never know.
get back into exercise BIG time.
loose some weight, dammit!
get in control of my finances, and not just talk about it, but actual do it!
be kinder to myself. Stop comparing myself to others, or putting myself down. Learn how to appreciate who I am now, what I have now and not what I want to be or might be if I looked different or weighed less.
have more confidence. Believe in myself or pretend I do when I don't.
remember that what I portray is what I get back.
Finally start posting some fashion-y posts!
That's a bit of a list but I'm really going to work at it this year, coz like I said this year is gonna be great!
