I've kind of been in a funk for the last few months. Steve has been trying to cheer me up, so in a moment of weakness he told me that he would run a half marathon with me over the summer. So I am really excited about that. The problem is that for some reason this year I am having none of this cold weather (probably from my funk). Even though I come equipped with all the essential running gear to survive in the tundra, I have zero desire to strap on my yaktrax and run in this cold. That, and my yoga class takes a break from December until April, so all forms of exercise are on a break for me. So perhaps when Pennsylvania decides to thaw I will drag my sorry behind off of the couch, but until then I am going to continue to watch British television and eat popcorn.


So this week I noticed that ever since I started wearing nail polish my nails have been chipping and splitting like crazy. I have been using a coat of nail strengthener before and after I apply my nail polish, so I don't really know what could be the problem. Does anyone have any ideas? I bought a liquid bandage for nails and I have been using that, but I guess I want to prevent the problem instead of always have to liquid bandage my nails every day. I tried taking Biotin for hair growth a few times, (my hair growth journey is another long and dramatic process). However the Biotin also made my nails split and chip. I feel like a lack of calcium isn't the problem either because I eat more than enough cheese on a daily basis to feed a third world county. Just kidding.

But for real, one time we were playing this game that is like trivia, but it has really crazy questions so basically the person with the best guess wins. I forgot what it is called, but I'll figure it out and let you guys know. It's a blast. Anyways, the question was how many slices of pizza does the average American eat a year. Well I was more thinking along the lines of how much food I eat, so I guessed 500 pieces of pizza a year. The actual answer is 34, so everyone had a hoot with the fact that I thought Americans ate 500 pieces of pizza a year. I mean in hindsight that is a lot of pizza. So clearly you can see how much cheese I consume a day.

In other news. I spent some more of my birthday money. I bought a jewelry armoire from Christmas Tree Shops so that has been helpful in organizing my life. For those of you that do not have a Christmas Tree Shops in your life, I feel nothing but sorrow for you. I wouldn't recommend getting anything important from there, but as far as decorations go, you can decorate your entire house for any occasion for under $100 and still look more festive then Disney World at Christmas. It is truly magical.

I also saw that Icing was having a sale so I went to buy some flowers for my hair. They had 50% off red line items. It was awesome. I also bought some earrings and rings and then I saw that they had some make up in their sale shelf too. Now I know what your thinking, "Remember the H&M eye shadow pallet." I know, for I was thinking that too. But for $2 who could say no? So I took a gamble and bought the pallet, and it turns out I made a super awesome life choice. It's super pigmented, and it lasts the whole day.

 

Plus I really like that it has both warm tones and cool tones for whatever your mood.

 

 

So all hail 50% off 50% off! I said it's like 100% off, so it really should have been free, but Steve did a tiny face palm and told me it didn't work like that.

 

I got some other stuff at Ulta, the picture about is just most of what I bought this weekend. I forgot to take pictures of the jewelry, but I think everyone will live if they don't get to see the 50% off 50% off jewelry I bought as well.
