Crochet Circle Scarf

I was loving this chunky bright red infinity scarf that I saw recently. Buuuut I couldn't bring myself to spend $40 on it.  Instead I decided to crochet it myself and I think that it turned out pretty well.

A little obsessed

I have been meaning to check out this small nail polish shop for quite some time now, but I never really had time to take a trip out there...until now.  It's the kind of place that sells nail polish at a discounted price for those who work in the nail industry.  It's hard to come by places like these that don't require a license for purchase so I was thrilled when I heard about it.  My sister an I have been loving Essie lately so that's where a majority of our money went to.   I was content with my purchase and about to check out until the worker informed me that they were selling China Glaze crackle polishes for $1.50 which was something I definitely could not pass up.  I wish I had more money to spend, but we plan on making it a "thing" to go there whenever she's home.

Scrapbook: The Past Few Weeks

Just a few pictures before the Christmas ones flood in.  The past few weeks have pretty much been dominated by finals.  But I was still able to sneak in some other things before and after.  Winter break has been relaxing so far and I love it.

my first time making mochi!

Love Lettuce

I'm convinced that this mask saved me during finals week.  All of that stress, lack of sleep, caffeine, and junk food would normally cause havoc on my skin.  With Lush's "love lettuce" I was able to bypass all of that and focus on more important things.  It works as both a mask and a scrub and makes my skin feel amazing afterward without any preservatives.  It smells like lavender and almonds which I personally don't care for, but it's something that I am willing to get over for the quality of the product.  However, because it doesn't have preservatives, the mask expires fairly quickly and it is difficult to use the whole pot in time.  I am really excited because I just bought a new one.  Hopefully I'll be able to try the other types soon.

I haven't been so fantastic at taking pictures lately.  Enjoy the ones that I do have =)

Update

Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in things and life flies by.  I'm lucky that a friend recently reminded me that sometimes it's okay to sacrifice a little to do something just because it makes you happy.  Plus, it never hurts to see old friends =)

Workout Schmerkout

I ran the urbanathalon a couple of weeks ago which turned out to be the most amount of physical activity I have ever done at one period in time.  A year or so ago I could never imagine myself running ten miles let alone ten miles plus obstacles.  It was both challenging and rewarding and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Buuuut...since then I have had absolutely no motivation to workout.  This is changing tomorrow.  I'm writing it down so it's set in stone.  No excuses.
