Weekly What? {2}

Hey friends!! I know it's Saturday and it's weird getting used to posting on Saturdays, but have you ever sat down with a cup of coffee and tried to catch up on blog reading, well rather than going through multiple links to find all the posts you've missed during the week, the lovely bloggers Jenn, Allie, & Ricci host a link up every Saturday where bloggers can get their weeks posts all in a one stop shop so if you are catching up you can click from one location. If this sounds awesome {which it does and is} then you can also join this link up and make it easier for your readers to catch up, so what's my weekly what?

Did you enjoy checking out my posts from this week, I know it was a lot of linking up, but quite frankly I love them and don't think I'll slow them down. They help me out on days that my brain is mush from class and give me some inspirations! 

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend folks, see you back here for some Sunday Social fun tomorrow!! 

Nail Files {2/1/13}

Happy 1st day of Feb loves! I cannot believe how quickly the first month of the year has come and gone, but alas here we are in Feb. I have been horrible of painting my nails this week and they are currently in a hot chip mess. I really need to change that next week and make my nails look presentable in public, it's quite embarrassing. Thank god for the cold weather {not} and gloves! I am still linking up with Tara & Vicki for Nail Files. Since it is the month of love {even though I hate Valentines day} I do love the color pink and hearts. I turned to Pinterest to satisfy my craving for the day find some pretty pictures of manicures that I can only dream of doing on myself.

I die at how adorable these manicures are! I may just go the simple route and paint them red with a pink sparkle accent nail, but who knows what my mood will be that week. What are you guys rocking on the first day of the month??

It's 'OK' Guys

Oh happy day! I'm in a great mood this week and even though my lack of sleep and crazy schedule should show me in a less than stellar mood, I just can't help being all smiles when I look at this precious face.

If you missed it yesterday, this is my brand new nephew, Devan, who was born on Jan 29th. I cannot get over how peaceful he looks and cannot wait to officially meet the little guy in 3 months. 

Anyway, I'm linking up with Neely and Amber for It's OK Thursday!

It's ok...

...to want to send the following onesie to my cousin to have her new baby wear, how stinkin' cute is it!

...to feel like an old lady going to sleep at 10:30 pm every night, I used to be able to stay up into the wee hours of the night and wake up the next morning just fine, now I'm a grumpy mess if I don't get enough sleep.

...to be frustrated when a coworker talks down to me when she has no right to. I may be younger than her, but unfortunately for her, she is not the queen of the world and cannot say whatever she wants to people.

...to be so excited for Super Bowl Sunday, my good friend is going to New Orleans for the big game, but it's me and my girls watching the game and I couldn't be more excited {especially if the 49ers win}

Yes that is handmade by yours truly!

...to feel proud of myself for staying on top of my assignments for class and even doing a little more than expected.

...to be almost finished with all my health requirements for clinicals and looking forward to finally getting in an office and apply what we've been learning!

I love lists!!

...that this is all my brain is allowing me to spew out!

Welcome To The World

This morning when I woke up, I got the best text ever. My older cousin {whom I consider like a sister to me} have birth to her 2nd baby boy!

His name is Devan and be was born in the wee hours of the evening on Jan 29th {11:43 pm to be exact} weighing in at 7 lbs, 7 oz.

He looks perfect and peaceful and I wish I were in Colorado holding his precious self in my arms. It won't be too long before I see him {exactly 3 months from today!!}

Extra, Extra, Read All About It

Is it just me or is the opening line for posts the hardest thing to come up with? Well now that I got that out of the way, how are all you lovelies? I have a full day with a 2 hour meeting at work this AM and a tooth extraction at my favorite place, the dentist! I bet you couldn't top my awesome day {insert sarcastic tone here}. I wanted to discuss some important news happening in our world today. The world I'm talking about is the wonderful world of celebrities! Come on now, you didn't expect me to get all CNN on you did you? I absolutely love reading about the exciting lives of celebs and it's one of my many guilty pleasures in life. Before the days of wasting time on Pinterest, I frequented Perez Hilton regularly.  I would rack my brain with all things celebrity news and spew it on anyone who would hear; friends, coworkers, random strangers at the grocery store ok maybe I didn't do this, but in my head I was always telling them what was new in the celebrity world, they appreciated it a lot. Let's get to some hard-hitting news stories gracing the headlines of magazines!

1. Tom Brady & Gisele Bundchen have finally completed work on their $20 million mansion!

Yippeeeeeeee! Now Tom has a new place to comfortably wear his UGG boots and cry about not going to the Super Bowl this year. I'm not gonna lie, this mansion looks awesome, and they even have a custom playground for their 3 children, I wouldn't mind moving in!

2. Kanye West gifts $65,000 in jewelry to Kim Kardashian. 

Is this his way of thanking her for sticking with him through this "pregnancy". I still think them as a couple is a joke and in a world where there is still poverty and sickness, to be spending frivolous amounts on jewelry is just disgusting. Oh and in these pictures below, the "in-love" couple are probably wearing a couple thousand dollars worth of clothing/accessories, gross.

3. Vanessa Hudgens chops off her hair, and doesn't care apparently!

Oh V.Hudge, when are you going to learn that you're irrelevant. If this is one of the top stories in entertainment, they must have had a slow news week. She posted the picture of her new, shorter locks quoting, "Short hair, don't care!" and even though she may appear to not care, she clearly does since she bothered to ask her fan, "What do you guys think of my new do?"

4. Miley Cyrus is nearly topless for cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine.

In other news, Miley Cyrus is still showing the world that she is a rebel and doesn't give a crap what people think of her. Girlfriend looks hot and she's young so why shouldn't she show off what she has?! Plus with the cover saying provocative things such as "Your best sex ever", she should be looking hot on the cover.

I think this has been pretty jam packed with some breaking news from the entertainment headlines and now you all can go repeat these interesting news stories to all your friends & loved ones! 

5 for Five

Happy Monday folks {if such a thing exists}. Today I am linking up with one of my favorite bloggers, Jenn @ Party of One for 5 for Five. I haven't linked up regularly with her and this link up, but kept telling myself I would next week and sure enough next week would creep up and I just kept pushing it off. Well that ends today! I think this is the perfect way to stay organized with my goals for the week and then also be accountable for them the following Monday.

1. Drink at least 64 oz {8 cups} of water daily. My water bottle has a measure line so this should help me track and reach my daily intake.

2. Pack a lunch every day for work and class. This is mainly because I've realized I'm spending way too much on crappy and unhealthy cafeteria food and in order to eat healthy, I need to pack a lunch for myself and stick to it.

3. Finish 2 critical thinking essay questions and at least 2 chapter review quizzes for class. I learned my lesson from last semester that i need to stay on top of making my own deadlines because unfortunately, this semester is jam packed and with my crazy work schedule I don't have much free time available.

4. Stay on top of my blog emails and take the time to read and comment on blogs. This is pretty self-explanatory, but frankly I've been slacking when it comes to commenting and keeping up with blogs on the regular.

5. Start up Jillian Michaels 30 day shred again. I'm hoping to stay consistent with this because I have way too many things coming up in the coming months and I want to look and feel great; bachelorette parties, weddings, and engagement parties galore!

So I think my 5 goals for this week are pretty simple to keep up with and I hope to come back next Monday with all greens on these and some brand new goals!! 

Sunday Social {Week 34}

Happy Sunday everyone! I'm linking up with the fabulous ladies Ashley & Neely for a little Sunday Social fun! 

1. What is your ideal way to relax? I love just being in my sweats, watching TV. Knowing I have nothing to do is such a great and relaxing feeling. Every now and then I'll go out for a mani-pedi or massage and those are fantastic ways to relax as well, but get to be expensive with the number of times I would need it!
2. Where is your favorite place to be? Is my bed a fair answer? In a bigger spectrum, probably anywhere my friends are. We have such a blast with each other even if we are just hanging out at someones place talking, those turn out to be the best nights and I cherish them so much. So I suppose anywhere where my loved ones are!
3. Who do you consider your biggest role model? This answer is two-fold for me because I consider my mom my biggest role model, but also consider my grandmother {her mother} to be another role model for me. They are so similar in the way they are so it only makes sense for me to include both of them in this category. I know I can count on my mom for anything and she is there to listen. Although, she gets frustrated with me at times, we love each other and I don't know how my life would be without her in it.

4. What does your life look like in 3 years? In 3 years I would be 27-28 so I see myself definitely married and enjoying life, hopefully traveling with my husband and having babies on our mind! I also see myself moving somewhere other than Chicago, love it here, but I feel like I belong somewhere else. *Preferably, with this pretty on my finger*

5. If you could go back and change one decision, what would it be? My relationship with an ex. He was a great guy, but I knew it was headed nowhere and I still decided to stick around and let myself fall harder than I should have. I ended up getting hurt in the end and decided to break all ties with the guy. He still tries to reach out to me through Facebook, texts, etc, but I realize I don't need him in my life anymore and I am so much happier with that!

6. What is your biggest accomplishment in life so far? Making it this far. Life has thrown me so many curve balls and it's gotten really tough at times, but I know I am in a happy place and the people i am surrounded with are incredible. Unfortunately I don't have anything major like a wedding or baby to be proud of quite yet, but being happy right now is great! Sorry for the lame answer, this one was hard for me.

Join in on the fun and link up!
