Is it Sunday afternoon already?!?!?

Why oh why do weekends go by so quickly?!?!? I mean the week leading up to it seems to drag by, but once you hit Friday night it goes by in a blur. Well as I mentioned in my Friday post I had to go get an x-ray of my foot to see if it's broken. There was good news and bad news. The good news is, it's not broken!!! Yay! The bad news? Years of cheerleading, dance, and 4 in. heels have led to some pretty ugly foot issues. My x-ray showed that I basically have worn down all the cartilage from my ankle through my foot. :( Even worse, it's not like cartilage just magically grows back, so it's permanent damage. So it looks like I'm going to have to start wearing flats a little more often. Oh well at least it gives me an excuse to shop! :) I'm trying to stay positive about the whole thing, but truth be told I'm really upset. I'm a very active person so my feet are important to me. I'm only 22, so it just seems insane that I'm dealing with a problem that most women don't deal with until they are MUCH older.

Saturday was definitely a better day though. Gabe and I got up and had brunch together at Starbucks. Yes all those breakfast sandwiches on their menu look delish, but I generally stick with the oatmeal and add the dried fruit. Especially if I'm splurging on a White Chocolate Mocha. After eating we drove around and looked at houses for about two hours. I have some interior design classes and my homework this weekend was to drive around and take pictures of 15 different styles of houses. It was alot of fun since we got to explore alot of the older neighborhoods that have some very interesting architecture. We grocery shopped in the afternoon and I studied for my upcoming Anatomy test. Saturday night we met some of Gabe's co workers at La Huerta for dinner and drinks and then went to watch Shutter Island. I have been dying to see this movie since I saw the first preview last summer. It lived up to its hype for me. It's one of those movies that you are literally in deep thought the entire time just trying to figure out what the heck is going on! It's definitely a movie I plan on buying when it comes out on DVD.

Today we got up pretty early and made breakfast together. After that I cleaned and caught up on our piled up laundry. I don't understand how two people go through so many clothes in just a week. It's beyond me. Since the weather is FINALLY starting to get nice, we went for a run and it was AMAZING! I have been dying to get out of the house for some sun and fresh air so today was much needed. Now Gabe's gone to play soccer with his co workers and I'm about to start studying for my Nutrition test I have tomorrow. I love this Nutrition class I'm taking this semester because it's centered around contemporary issues so we study supplements, popular fad diets, and the growing obesity epidemic. I wish nutrition courses were grouped in with gen eds because I really think that everyone could benefit from being a little more educated in this area.

Anyway, I hope everyone else had a lovely weekend!

Random Friday Thoughts

1. My class was cancelled today and I didn't have anything due in my online classes so my weekend got started early! I've enjoyed a relaxing day of sleeping in (till 8:30 since this is now considered sleeping in for me), working out, cleaning my apartment, watching daytime tv :), and actually getting to sit down and eat a normal lunch. Since I'm usually in class during lunch time I usually just eat a snack that I can put in my bag.

2. I'm going to get my foot x-rayed today to see if it's broken. Yes I said broken and yes I'm still working out. I'm a woman obsessed I can't help it! Of course I've been taking it easy this week and I haven't worn heels once. I have no clue what I did to my poor foot, but what I do know is it hurts and it's really uncomfortable. Good thing my bf's dad can give me an x-ray at his office for free! :)

3. Since we're having to go to Heber tonight for the x-ray, date night is postponed until tommorow. I'm not sure what we're doing yet, but I can't wait! Date nights my favorite night of the week!

4. It's still freezing cold here and Spring fever has kicked in full force. I just keep dreaming about colorful, pretty clothes and being able to spend time out doors! February is coming to an end and still no warm weather in sight! What's going on here?!?!

That's really all I have today. Sorry this is such a boring post. I'm having a case of bloggers block today. Have a good weekend ya'll!

These are a few of my favorite things! (make-up edition)

Today I've decided to share with ya'll some of my favorite make-up products. I'm a total beauty junkie, and I have drawers and drawers full of stuff. But if I had to pick only five products to take with me to a desert island, this is what would be in my bag:

1. NARS Bronzer in Laguna. This picture makes it look orange but its actually the most flattering shade of brown with a light shimmer. I can use it year round and it's not too harsh. Love it!

2. Merle Norman Ultra Powder. I used to work at a Merle Norman so I got hooked on this pressed powder. It's perfect. It has great coverage and it stays on all day. I use it in Ultra Amber.





3. L'oreal HIP eye shadow duo in Gilded. I love these eye shadows because unlike most drugstore brands they actually have alot of pigment in them and have some really fun color choices. If you like MAC eye shadows, you should try these.

4. Benefit Bad Gal Lash. My mom actually got me hooked on this mascara. We both have sensitive eyes and have to be careful about what we use. I had been using Christian Dior DiorShow for years but it was starting to bother my eye's. This stuff makes my short blonde lashes look like I'm wearing false eyelashes. I never leave home with out it!



5. Last but certainly not least we have a classic. NARS blush in Orgasm. I swear this peachy pink color looks good on EVERYBODY. My little sister who has fair skin and dark hair and eyes looks great in it. I have blonde hair, medium tan skin, and blue eyes and it more than works for me. I've been using this for a little over a year and I don't think I will ever use anything else. If you only get one thing off this list, get this blush. Amazing!

Well that's all for me today! Have a wonderful afternoon!

New Obsession!

This will be a short post because I'm buried in homework. But I just had to share my latest obsession with ya'll.
It's METROMINT Water.

This stuff is delicious! I pretty much only drink water or tea so I'm always looking for ways to spice those drinks up a bit. I've done the lemon water to death and I don't really like those fruit flavored waters. So I was pretty stoked to find this in the natural foods section at Kroger. I love mint tea so I figured why not! Oh and it's calorie and sugar free! Wonderful! I'm in LOVE with the Spearmint flavor and....

The Chocolate Mint flavor. Yep... chocolate mint water. Sounds disgusting I know. But don't knock it till you try it! It actually helps curb my sugar cravings. I'm a total chocoholic and I have to be careful not to eat an entire bag of cookies after a meal. (because I can, trust me) Anyway next time ya'll are at the grocery store you should pick some up and try it! Enjoy!

Rainy Sunday

Well today it is POURING in central Arkansas. I mean it literally hasn't stopped all day. I should have known this was coming because we had three sunny, 60 degree days in a row. Just when I feel like Spring is almost here, rain and coldness return. Boo!

Anyway I did manage to have a wonderful weekend though. Friday night we had an at home date night since we were both exhausted after a long week. Ordered a cheese pizza and cuddled up on the couch to watch the Olympics. (we're both obsessed!) Saturday morning we got up and went to Little Rock. We had a wonderful lunch at Big Whiskey's in the River Market and then we went to the Arkansas Arts Center to see the mummy exhibit. Yes we are those nerds who enjoy art centers and museum exhibits. I've been to some of the most famous museums in the world (The Louvre, the Vatican, the Smithsonian's just to name a few!) so I love getting the chance to broaden my horizons whenever possible. I also have a slight obsession with Egyptian history. So anyway that was pretty interesting to us. We actually listened to a 30 min lecture on the mummification process before we went in to see the exhibit. (Once again, nerdy I know) After we left the Arts Center we drove back to Conway and had a relaxing night at home once again watching the Olympics. And today since theres a downpour outside I did homework for 5 hours (ugh!), got a workout in, and caught up on my magazine reading :) I have a slight love affair with magazines. I think I read around 8 different ones a month. Gotta have my InStyle, Glamour, Allure, Marie Claire, Southern Living, Shape, Self, Women's Health, and the list can go on and on. Wow. Does anyone else read this many or more magazines every month? So all in all in was a much needed relaxing weekend. Those are the kind that go by way to fast though :(

So this upcoming week is a pretty busy one for me. Sorry if I don't blog much. I have two tests, three papers, and one project. Keep me and my sanity in your prayers!
