Alexandre Vauthier Fall/Winter 2012-13

I am absolutely in love this collection.  It has such a wonderful combination golds, whites, and beiges.    Alexandre Vauthier is by far one of my favorite designers.  Not all of these styles are wearable but they’re still beautiful.  My wardrobe needs this collection.

My 2013 New Years Resolutions!

I guess we didn’t die this year so it’s time for New Years Resolutions!  The second half of this year has been amazing for me.  I learned so much about myself and gained so much confidence.  I have accomplished things that I dreamed about months ago.  I’ve  grown and everyday when I look in mirror I stare and think when did I become this person.  With this new found confidence, I now can pursue my dreams without caring if anyone looks at me weird.  I will make 2013 the best year of my life, hopefully as good as this one or better.  Here are my goals for 2013: Continue reading

Countdown to Christmas: Final Week Review and Weigh In

This week was better than last week.  I lost weight and ate alittle better.  I also followed the 10k training program and can now run 3.1 miles straight!  Huge accomplishment for me.  The whole time I just kept thinking of how fat me would have quick after 5 minutes but here I was so close to finishing.  Sometimes you have to be your own motivation.  Also the Matrix was so that help too.(PS.Awesome movie, if you haven’t seen you have to immediately!)

Dry Hands? I Have the Cure!

…Not really but ever since winter started my hand have been drier than the Sahara. And over time I’ve learned a few little tips to help.

  1. Keep moisturizing hand lotion near at all times. When ever they feel dry, lotion them. You can’t get around this if you want them to be vaguely soft.
  2. Put vaseline on them at night before bed and put cotton socks or gloves over them. This will make them nice and slippery and they keep moisturized throughout the night.
  3. Put lotion after you wash you hands. Soap is drying and will make your hands worse. Also try and use moisturizing soap which may help a bit.
  4. Drink water. You should be drinking 8 glasses a day anyway but keeping hydrated helps keep your skin hydrated.
