Haul: Target!

After work tonight, I needed to buy some things and I didn't want to do it tomorrow since I have quite a few other things to do so I went to Target. The Target I went to is right by my job so it was easy to get to while heading home.

Here are all of the lovely things I purchased!

New Camera! Olympus Pen E-PL1!

I am so excited! My camera finally showed up yesterday! :D I took some pics of the un-boxing of it.

I purchased the Olympus E-PL1 from Newegg on May 23rd at night. I opted for the 3 day shipping via UPS completely forgetting that Monday was Memorial Day.

The box it came in.

Clothing for Work haul! Ross and Dillard's!

Oh, this is my 100th post! :D

I have been buying clothes due to work and some shoes here and there. The first place I went shopping at was at Ross then at Dillard's. It is picture heavy!



Onward to Ross!

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 29!

Day Twenty-Nine- Your definition of beauty.

My definition of beauty would be...well, I don't really have a defined noion of beauty. I just know that I personally would prefer to be thinner and toned.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 28!

Day Twenty-Eight- Do you want that “gap” between your legs? Why?

That would be nice. Since I live in Florida, it would reduce my chances of chafing.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 27!

Day Twenty-Seven- How do you deal with being around food?

I don't eat if I don't need to and eat when I do for the most part. I am one of those people that will eat when bored so that is one of my issues that I'm working on.

Mail time: Kiss and Orabrush

Mail time!

I received two packages today! One that came through from Influencer and another that I ordered.

The one from Influencer was a prize for posting a review of the Kiss nail sticker and being chosen to get a prize pack from Kiss. Quick note, sorry for the blurry pics.

This look so spiffy. 

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 26!

Day Twenty-Six- What excites you most about reaching your UGW?

I'd have to say it will be what my face will look like. I have deep dimples so I'm wondering if I'm going to have that sunken in look again that I used to have when I was younger. I wish I would have scanned the picture from my old Busch Gardens pass because that picture shows what I am talking about. I think my cheekbones stick out kind of far...so they cast a shadow over the area that goes inward when I smile due to the dimples so it looks kind of creepy in pictures sometimes.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens! :)

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 25!

Day Twenty-Five- Have you ever purged? If you have describe your first experience.

Never. I highly dislike throwing up so I would not do it unless my body forced me to do so when I'm sick.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 24!

Day Twenty-Four- How do you feel about the terms pro-ana/pro-mia?

I think that sometimes they can be a good thing when warning for certain sites but at the same time, they can be bad since if want to find sites with those terms it helps them find them easier.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 23!

Day Twenty-Three- Did the media play a role in your wanting to lose weight?

I don't really think it did. Clothes had more of a role than anything else when my work pants were starting to fit way too loose.

Swatch: Revlon Lip Butters

During my recent trip to Target, I bought 3 new lip butters by Revlon. I really enjoy the fact that they go on so smoothly and don't leave my lips feeling chapped when the color disappears. Another thing I like about them is that the more color you apply, the bigger the color pay  off.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 22!

Day Twenty-Two- What was your lowest weight? How and why did you gain?

My lowest weight was somewhere around 105-110lbs when I was in high school. I know exactly why I gained weight: I was lazy. If I had started working out when I first noticed the weight gain, I would definitely not be at the weight I am now.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 21!

Day Twenty-One- What are your clothing sizes?

In pants, I am a size 10-11 depending on the brand. I just learned while shopping for clothes that I can go back into fitting into size Large tops! So I'm a Large/X-large in tops depending on the top type. And for the hell of it, I wear a size 8 1/2-9.

Shopping Haul: Target and Kohl's!

Woohoo! I got paid which means shopping! I needed to get more clothes for work and picked up a few things over at Target.

First up, I went to Kohl's with my sister and niece to get clothes for work. The downside to Kohl's is that you can never really find anything on their website so it forces you to their store and spend money.

Cute top that ties in the back

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 20!

Day Twenty- Favorite diet?

I have never been on a diet so I don't have one. Oh wait, I like see-food diet. It's always a good one lol.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 19!

Day Nineteen- When is the last time you ate fast food?

The last time I ate fast food was on Wednesday, May 9th but it was healthy fast food. I think the place was called Cafe Fresh or something like that. I had a Turkey Bacon Avocado Spinach wrap and a cold black tea with Agave nectar. It was very good.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 18

Day Eighteen- What food is your weakness?

I have a horrible sweet too. Ice cream and chocolate chip cookies. And almost anything with chocolate.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 17!

Day Seventeen- Do you have an eating disorder?

No, I do not have an eating disorder.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 16!

Day Sixteen- When did you first decide to lose weight?

It mostly started when I got the pet store job near my house and I would walk there and felt like I was dying. Shortness of breath is not fun at all. Plus, walking to work had caused me to lose weight so I decided to lose some more.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 15!

Half way there!!!

Day Fifteen- Are you vegan or vegetarian? If so, has this helped you lose weight? If not, would you ever consider turning vegan or vegetarian?

I am not a vegan or vegetarian. I would probably become a vegetarian if necessary but I would probably be a bad one since I enjoy my chocolate.

Fruits fruits fruits

When I went out the other day to Publix to buy fruit, I really hadn't eaten any of them. Like a fruit salad got made a few days ago and I ate a bowl of that but not so much since then. But this morning I had a hankering for fruits.

So yummy

I only wished I had whipped cream but then that would have made it a dessert and not a breakfast. I have to keep with this healthy eating! Now to just get on track with exercising and I'll be good.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 14!

Day fourteen- What’s your UGW? When you expect to reach it?

My Ultimate Goal Weight is somewhere between 125-130. It depends on how I look when I hit 130 if I feel I need to go down anymore. I want to hit my UGW by my birthday in September. 4 months!

New Job!!!!!

Roughly two weeks ago, I put in my 2 weeks notice at the pet place since I did not like the way things were going within the store. I had people telling me I was crazy for doing that without having another job waiting for me but I told them that I'd find a job so no worries.

And I was right!! I am now working for a major department store that starts with the letter D. :D

I"m so excited for shoes!

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 13!!

Day Thirteen- Are you losing weight in a healthy or unhealthy way?

I am losing weight in a healthy way. Losing weight in an unhealthy way probably would just backfire on me hardcore and I'd end up gaining triple back or something. I want to lose it in a healthy way so I continue with being healthy.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 12

Day Twelve- What do you normally eat?

Food...? I have been trying to definitely eat healthier snacks. I got a bunch of fruit recently so I have been eating that as snacks when I'm hungry.  Then mostly portion control when it comes to dinner since I don't control what gets cooked most of the time lol.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 11!

Day Eleven- Your favorite thinspo blog and why!

So far the ones I have found on Tumblr that I have liked are:

120 in June and Healthy, Sexy, Happy

They both have a lot of inspiring pictures and whatnot on their pages. Even though the pictures of food always makes me hungry so I have to be careful when I'm on there. I also use their pages to go to other sites to get inspiration from others out there trying to lose weight.

What are your favorite thinspo blogs?

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 10!

Day Ten- What was the hardest thing you gave up during this “weight loss.”

I haven't really given up anything. I just reduced how much of it I eat. I can't give up foods all cold turkey because I would just end up bingeing on it it later so I just try to reduce how much I eat of a certain thing.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 9!

Wow, I didn't realize I was so far behind!! I'm watching up!

Day Nine- Did people ever make comments about your weight in a negative way?

If they have, I haven't paid attention. I guess a negative would be family going "oh you'd be so cuter if you just lost some more weight" or "you used to be so skinny, what happened?" I just usually shrug it off. Family is always going to have something to say about a person's weight.

Swatches Galore! Color Club, Zoya, and Art Club.

Here are some swatches! I finally got around to swatching the Zoya polishes that I bought a while back ago. :P

Let's do this! It's going to be a pretty long post with lots of pictures! :)

Zoya:

All the swatches have about 2-3 coats of polish.

Color Club and Art Club sets

When I head home from work, I stop off at Burlington Coat Factory about once or twice a month to see what new items they have whether it's clothing, accessories, or beauty items. So, in my last two trips I found two Color Club sets and three Art Club sets.

The first Color Club set I found was for one of two their latest collections, "Take Wing".

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 8!

Day Eight- Your workout routine.

Uh...well...see what had happened was...uh...I haven't done much exercising since I started this.

Horrible, right? But I do plan on doing Zumba 2 for the Wii today though. I need to cracking on working out again.

Holy crap, I just realized September is 4 months away! 4 months!! Yeah, I need to get my butt into gear!

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 7!

Day Seven- Do your parents know you’re trying to lose weight? Do they care?

My mother and her husband know that I am trying to lose weight. I want to say I know they care but at the same time my mother has this problem where she likes to sabotage my weight loss efforts. And she also has a thing for telling me how much weight she's lost and that I need to loose weight.

It's a strange relationship that she and I share.

30 day Weight Loss Challenge: Day 6!

Day Six- Do you binge? If so, explain why you think you do.

Do I binge? I think I do. Sometimes I binge on chocolate. I eat it everyday so when I try to cut back on it, there will be just a day when I completely over-indulge in chocolate in all forms.

In other news, RuPaul's "Glamazon" album is freaking awesome. It's my inspiration album for this month. :)


Note: No, RuPaul did not pay me to say that. I'd say that any day of the week. Plus, if RuPaul contacted me, there would a whole month of posts about that lol.
