Technical difficulties.....

Last night I was having serious computer difficulties so I hope you will be grudge me the fact that last night I did not post a blog. I am calling in one of my three strikes (used only in extreme situations). Anyways, today was a beautiful day here in NY, it felt like spring! It was glorious. Today I wore a pair of brown heeled boots. I am not going to post a picture because I am going to do a video on my shoe collection, which I am working on as we speak, and I really want all of you guys to check that out! This week seems to be taking a LONG LONG time. I hop you all are having a wonderful week!

Steph's Tidbits:

• Holla its GLEE night!!!!
• I am really enjoying my Econ class this semester.
• I also did some future planning with school, and realized that I only have two and 1/2 semesters left of classes!!!! WAHOO!!!!

Slippers Make for Warm Toes....

I love slippers. They make my toes feel all warm and cozy! Here's what I don't love, spending my afternoon taking a Econ Quiz. I woke up this morning to an email from my Econ professor "Surprise" it said "Pop quiz". Not the kind of surprise I like :( But that's okay because there were a ton of good movies on T.V today, so it kind of made up for the fact that I spent a couple of hours taking the quiz. Back to the slippers, I have a couple pairs of slippers and must admit that they are often my favorite pair of "shoes" to wear. Today I choose to wear my leopard print slippers (I was feeling a bit frisky!)

I typically don't wear makeup on Sunday's either. Occasionally I will try out something for a video but today I was preoccupied with numerous things besides school. Men, my future, and my family. Anyone else find themselves particularly contemplative on Sundays? I hope to have a bunch of new videos filmed this week!

Steph's TidBits:

• This weeks episode of "Once Upon a Time" was surprisingly good! Although the snake part was terribly gross.
• I enjoyed a yummy dinner of homemade pizza!
• I am in LOVE with the Eos lip balm in Lemon Drop.... so good!

This day did not go according to plan. I had to wake up super early and I do mean SUPER, as in 5:30 in the morning. Way to early in my opinion. My class on Saturday mornings starts at 8:00 and is a 30 minute drive from my house and I stop for a coffee before I get there. It makes for one very long mornng. After class I always go to Barnes and Noble for a coffee and to have some quiet time to do some homework. Today, Mr.Friday and I had arranged to have lunch. I had wore a really cute outfit and done my makeup a little more dramatic then I normally wear for school, expecting to spend the entire afternoon and evening with him. But after only 3 hours he was ready to part ways. I have to be honest that I am not sure exactly what is happening with him. I was dissapointed and had nothing to do for the rest of the day.... how boring :( Now I am watching a movie and working on homework, something I feel I have been doing a ton lately. What am I watching? Kung Fu Panda 2 of course! I hope you all had a better weekend then I have so far!!

Steph's Tidbits:

• A song on constant replay on my Ipod lately has been the Glee version of "We found love" I am in love with this song! and the show!!
• I have had three cups of green tea tonight, I cant seem to get enough of it!
• One of my classes this semester is Money and banking, knowing all the behind the scenes stuff about the bank makes me think differently about how my money is handled. Get educated on how your money is being secured, it will save you in the long run.
• For shoes today I wore my lepord print converse. One of my favorite pairs of shoes. Sadley I noticed a hole in one of them Boo Hoo :(

Rain, Rain Go Away.....

And please don't come another day. I am so tired of the rain. At this point I would almost prefer snow, almost. Once again its raining here in NY and I am tired of wearing rain boots and having my mascara run down my face haft way through the day. To top it all off because it was such a rough work week, instead of going to a party I was looking forward to tonight, I am stuck at home doing homework. Like some 14 year old teachers pet I am sitting diligently at my desk reading about cultural differentials and ROIs (returns on investments). Sometimes life is just no fun :( but tomorrow is a new day and the weather man promises NO rain. And if it does rain I am going to hunt him down and make him be the subject of one of my makeup tutorials on YouTube....trust me it won't be pretty. Back to the books.....

Night y'all!

Maybe I need a break

Stand in Front of me so I can throw something at you...

I can't believe how long this day was. At around 9 o'clock this morning I was ready for it to be over. But I struggled through and finally it is the end of the day.

I have no new news to tell y'all today other than the fact that today I did wear heels, Brown ones.

Steph's Tidbits:

• I am loving "Face Off" on the scfy channel. The special effects makeup is amazing.
• My printer died yesterday and I had to go buy a new one today. I was totally overwhelmed with the choices, They should have a sign that says "HEY THIS ONE's the BEST, BUY IT"
• Seeing commercials for DQ always makes me crave Ice Cream

The day after Monday...

is Tuesday, an unfortunate day that is often overlooked in the course of the week. Today I was working on alot of homework so my eyes were a little sore ( I am suppossed to wear glasses when I am reading and working on the computer) so I wore my glasses for most of the day

LOL this picture make me look as if I have mickey ears or something. I wore sneakers again today. I am having a hard time fitting heels into my everyday outfit routine. Working such a "homebody" job makes it hard to dress up enough to make heels make sense. This is something I need to ponder. I am very tired tonight, I have been sleeping terrible lately. Keep a lookout on my YouTube channel for a bunch of new videos soon!

Steph's Tidbits:

• Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream its soooooo good for dinner!
• My cat has been so needy today she crawled into a box that I was taking to the Post Office and would not get out untill I played with her for a little whille lol!
• I am one of those super organized people, I have a color coded dry erase calendar that I use to keep track of all my homework and tests.

Oh man its Monday again.

This is what I wanted to do ALLLLLLL day today. I was so jealous of the babies getting to laz around all day. I went really simple for fashion and makeup today. I also wore sneakers today since it was really really rainy here in NY today. Such strange weather we are having.

Crap this picture makes me look like I am not wearing any makeup at all. I was I promise. I went simple brown today. Now I think I am going to take a break from studying and snuggle up with Thor! It's MOVIE TIME!!!!!!

Night Y'all



Lazy Days, and Football Games....

Ahhh Sunday. After getting home so late last night that I slept in this morning, till like 10. After spending some of the morning studying for school (I am such a good student !!), I spent the rest of the mid afternoon filming a video about my closet for my YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/ThatGreeneyedGirl24?feature=guide). I really love sharing my tips and tricks for keeping things organized. One thing I think is important is to always remember that even though you might not have the biggest amount of space, its how you use your space that's important. Now the Patriots are playing the Ravens and I am watching the game. I am a big sports fan (baseball mostly, but I do watch football occasionally, especially when the Giants are in the playoffs). The big game is tonight though, the Giants vs. 49ers. I am very excited! I should have done a makeup look for today's game, but since I am staying home to watch the game, I probably wont even wear any makeup (scandalous right!). I hope you guys are having a great weekend!

Steph's Tidbits:

• While filming the video I pointed out my French bottle of wine, now I REALLY want to drink it. But I am saving it for a special occasion
• I love how excited people get so excited about sporting events
• Yesterday was my Mom's b-day, and I have been battling a sever case of homesickness all weekend. I don't normally get that way but I have been noticing it a lot more lately :(

*Oh my shoes, I noticed I didn't post what I was wearing last night either (might be because I was a little buzzed last night when I was writing that post lol). I wore my black boots last night. And today I am wearing slippers! No actually thats not true most of the day I have spent bare foot, My favorite pair of shoes!!

Sushi for dinner...

Is there anything better? Not for me there isnt. I absolutly love sushi, which is surprising since I come from such a small town, one where you mention raw fish and get the same gagging reaction everytime. The truth is I reacted much the same way for most of my life but once I got over the fact that it was fish (something I REALLY REALLY don't like) I was plesantly surprised by how much I did actually like it, and it started me on my adventure to try everything life has to offer. Since then I have been a try everything at least once kinda girl. So tonight Mr.Friday and I are braving the snow and headed in search of the perfect sushi dinner, and it just so happens that I know the perfect place!

*We also went and seen a movie, Haywire, which was actually terrible, and then we stopped and had a drink, which lasted for 3 hours. It was actually quite wonderful. I can't remember the last time I felt like I was actully 25 instead of feeling like the mother of three children (which I am not). It is now about 1 in the morning and I got home about 30 minutes ago, so technically this is not posted on Saturday but I am going to say that since a I haven't been to sleep yet that it's still Saturday.



Man o'Man does my nose look big in this picture....



Steph's Tidbits:

• I really like the Pink Punk Cosmo from Fridays's, but my favorite drink is Rum and Coke
• I am watching Idiot Abroad on the science channel, its actually really funny
• I am SOOOOO excited to finish planning my Hawaii trip!

Wait, what is going on...

Its 6:30 and it is snowing like crazy here in NY. Still no word about whether or not my class is cancelled so I am still getting ready, but if I get the word right before I have to leave.... This little girl is going to do some damage. Shoes, Snow boots, YUCK.

5:45 am Gross

Thats the time I have to get up tomorrow morning for my class. I am not even sure what I was thinking when I signed up for this. This is the third semester taking a Saturday class and I still do not enjoy waking up and driving for 25 minutes to the school. How do I do it you might ask....Coffee, lots and lots of Coffee.

PreFriday

Tis the day before Friday!!! I can't believe how long this week has seemed and and the fact that its not quite over yet is discouraging, but I have a good weekend to look forward to. What are you guy doin? I hope its something fun!

Steph's Tidbits:

• I am munchin on Honeycombs ceral right now, while trying to force my brain to concentrate on Economics
• How crazy is it about that cruiseship, makes me wanna rethink going on vacation like that
• I Love Grey's Anatomy !!!!

GlamBag Wednesday...

As you can see from the title I got my GlamBag today! I was really looking forward to it, simply because of how awesome last months was. After being puked on by my bag though I was less ecstatic ( the face mask that was in my bag had popped open during transit and choose that moment to spit up most of the rest of its contents) nonetheless I was very pleased with my bag and look forward to trying all the different products in the very near future! be sure to check out my YouTube channel for a video on all the goodies I got from MyGlam this month ( http://www.youtube.com/user/ThatGreeneyedGirl24?feature=mhee ) As far as how my classes have been going, its only day two and I already feel a bit overwhelmed. It dosent help that I have been working so much overtime lately (already clocked in 39 hours in the past three days, and I am scheduled to work overtime tommorrow as well). For the most part I really don't mind working that much, but its the after getting off and still having homework to do and being dead tired thats the problem. After having 5 weeks off I knew there would be an adjustment to getting back into the swing of things again, so I am crossing my fingers that things start to go more smoothly. Right about now I would put in what shoes I wore today, but I must admit that I wore boots again today. Not the same as yesterday but one's that I have already posted a picture of and I was totally not motivated enough to take a picture tonight. As for the makeup I am wearing, I am still trying out my ELF cosmetics foundation and must say that I am plesently suprised as to how it is holding up. I didn't have much expectations from a $3.00 foundation but so far I am really liking how it makes my skin look. I am also rediscovering my love for the Naked Pallette from Urban Decay. I loved this when I bought it and wore it quite often for some time, then moved on to other things, but now I am back and still totally in love with this product. Thats all for tonight I think! Good Night Y'all

Steph's Tidbits (a new thing I want to try!):

• Some Songs I am LOVIN right now
• Pincess of China~ Coldplay & Rhinna
• Hey Mama~ Mat Kearney
• Not a driveby~ Train
• I had a Pop Tart today, I can not remember the last time I had one of these things. It totally brought me back to my childhood
• I am in LOVE with Andrew Zimmers Bizarre foods on the Travel channel, its my quitly pleasure when I am up late studying!

Snow boots Tuesday

It snowed here last night, actually it Iced here last night, so today I wore snow boots:

Today I was really Really missing spring time and so I wore a spring inspired makeup look:

I really fun lavandar and purple eye makeup, from using the petal pusher palette from wet N' wild. I love it, Stay tuned for a tutorial on my Channel very soon!

Manic Mondays

Actually today wasn't that manic at all. In honor of MLK a lot of people had the day off today, schools were closed, places of business were closed, but Nanny's still have to work and this is how excited I was about that:

Actually this is usually what I look like when I get up....I know scary right. I usually sleep with a sleep mask on, on the weekends since I sleep in later and the sun coming in through my window is blinding. The kids let me sleep in a little bit today but not much, then we had a quiet day just playing around the house. It was actually pretty nice. But having them home all days makes my life a little bit more hectic since I have to entertain them, and make sure they don't kill each other all day. Needless to say I am pretty tired and my bed beckoning behind me is looking pretty good right about now. Tommorrow my classes officially begin which means I am going to need all the sleep I can get tonight.

Night Y'all

Sundays are for doin what you what!

Today was one to those Sunday's were you sit down at the end and you say "now where the heck did my day go..." I was very tired today and did everything super lethargicly, which means that it took me three hours to get ready for my date with Mr. Friday. Three hours thats crazy, I didnt even do anything that special, Showered- yes, straighten hair-yes, makeup-normal. And yet it took me three hours.... strange. We went and seen "Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol" with Tom Cruise. It was actually very good, better than the third one that's for sure. I wonder if Tom Cruise has a clause in his contract that says he has to have a running scene in every movie that he does. He does running very VERY well! We then spent two hours talking over dinner, it was reallly nice. For tonights look I went simple, no bronzer just a simple pink and brown eye with a light pink blush:

I achieved this look by placing a medium pink all over my lid. Then with a medium soft grey I blended out the pink in my crease and on my brow bone. On the outer V I placed a slightly shimmery brown. With a soft cream white as my highlight and black eyeliner and mascara. I really like this soft and easy look for dates, it shows off the best versions of myself! But I wonder if there is some sort Guy code that says you shouldn't compliment a girl too much (or at all) "hey she might get a BIG head". Mr.Friday if you are reading this a girl likes to hear things like that, hearing compliments and what not! I had a great day overall but tomorrow is Monday :( and I am staying up late to try and avoid it as much as possible :) Stay tuned for a new tutorial on my YouTube channel Coming Soon!

Night Y'all

A productive day....

I love lazy Saturday afternoons! I got so much accomplished today. I cleaned out my closet and donated like 1/2 of my clothes (those that I no longer fit into, in a good way! or things I haven't worn in a long long time)



it looks a little empty now, time for some SHOPPING!!!

I also did some shoppig today (only a small amount), for some makeup stuff I have had my eye on for awhile now;

 And I still had time to get ready for my Saturday night:

I look like a freak, I know. LOL The things we girls go through for beauty right! I hope you guys had as fun a Saturday Night as I did!!

Talk to Y'all tomorrow!

Freaky Friday!!

Happy Friday the 13th Y'all. I hope a black cat didn't walk in front of you today! I am a big fan of all things that have to do with Halloween so today was right up my alley! But unfortunatly nothing in the least bit scary or even that exciting.... boo hoo. I did get my Birchbox today though, check out my box on my YouTube Channel..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTMhPMRbHq4&list=UU7eW1W4EwCNHklM4w1_wjpw&index=1&feature=plcp

I have nothing exciting to say unfortunatly.... how boring, I know. Shoes *mockasins and lame lame and lame. Hopefully tommorrow I will have something more interesting to tell you. But for tonight GOOD NIGHT!!!

Like a red headed stepchild...

That's how I am feeling today. Thursdays always feel so blah to me, your finally through the hurdle of the middle of the week and are anxious to get to the weekend but you still have to deal with Thursday before that can happen. YUCK. Anyways I did two fun videos for YouTube last night; the "Whats in my Bag?" tag and the "Get to know me" tag they were a lot of fun to film and edit. They are also a great way for people to (hopefully) get to know me. A lot of times I feel as though I am talking to no one... "Hello, is anyone out there, it's me Stephanie" ....... silence...... feels like I can hear crickets chirping lol. I don't really mind if no one watches to be honest I do it more for myself than for other people (except maybe my sister, who needs some SERIOUS makeup advice:). Speaking of makeup, I took a new look for a test drive today:

What do you think? Perhaps I will wear this the next time Mr.Friday and I get together (which by the way I have no idea when that will be...Stay tuned). This has been a long work week for me, I have had two night of overtime already and am already scheduled to work late again tonight, sure makes me glad that the weekend is so close! I just have to remember that tomorrow is FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY lol!

*What shoes am I wearing today you might be asking yourself; well its raining here in NY today so I am wearing tennis shoes again, but I promise that they are a different pair then my GYM shoes I wore yesterday these are just plain white sneakers(way to boring to post a picture of).



A second post...

I just had to show the makeup I wore today....

A smokey blue eye- so FUN!

*as for my shoes today I admit I cheated and wore my gym sneakers all day, it seemed like I always had to keep running today.

Bye for now!

Lots to Say Wednesday....

As the title states I have alot ot say today... People have been asking me lately what the rules are for my list. Each one has a rule of some sort. For example:

#1 Read 150 books - has to be a book I never read before and more than 150 pages (magazines don't count)
#2 Reach my goal weight- Those with the medical degrees say that for my height (short) I should weigh 119 pounds, I think my boobs alone weigh 119 therefore I think a reachable goal is 130 (don't even get me started on how I can achieve that)
#3 Buy an expensive pair of shoes- self explanitory
#4 Get a new Tattoo- I have two already but want another, They are so addictive once you start its hard to stop.
#5 Go skinny dipping- again self explanitory (but sounds like fun right!)
#6 Sleep under the stars- I usually dont like camping but for one night I would like to sleep with no tent but me and the stars
#7 Throw a fancy party- I always love those adds in magazines that show fancy place settings and people all dressed in their sunday best, I am going to do this to celebrate my birthday this way!
#8 Run a 5k- I used to run all the time, but with school and the job I don't run as much as I used to so this semester even with school I want to run a 5K
#9 Volunteer- I want to give more
#10 Learn a new hobby- like guitar or underwater basket weaving
#11 Let Go- Baggage always heavy and never very fun to carry around
#12 Be spontaneous-I am a planner, a list maker who hardly ever does anything that can be constituted as spontaneous but one day I would like to jump up and do something just because it sounds like fun.
#13 Make a friend- A new one
#14 Do something that scares me- Overcoming a fear can be (hopefully) libarating
#15 Wear high heels for a normal day- explanitary
#16 Help a stranger- what a great story it would be if I could help someone deliver a baby or help someone change their tire or something like that
#17 Blog everyday- Obvious
#18 Stop biting my nails- a nasty habit but something I have been doing since I was a little kid I REALLY REALLY want to stop doing this
#19 Learn to surf
#20 Ride in a helicopter- once in a lifetime right!
#21 Make the Dean's list- this one is expecially important to me since I am the first one in my family to go to college
#22 Learn enough of another language to be able to hold a conversation
#23 Swim with dolphins- Going to HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!
#24 Make it count- whatever it is make it count
#25 Wear a different pair of shoes everyday- Have to be different from the ones I wore the day before ( lets face it I dont have enough shoes to wear a different pair each day for the next 6 months)
#26 Get 8 Hours of sleep each night- I am an insomniac suffer but I am trying hard to get into bed and lay there for 8 hours each night

Whew that was long; and now for an update: so far I have read 8 books I have worn 7 different pairs of shoes and I have blogged every single day, GO ME!!!

These Pigs are tired....

My feet that is... I wore heels, for part of the day anyways. And at the end of the day all I wanted to do was:

But the shoes are cute right! I was so exhausted after working a 13 and 1/2 hour work day that I think I literally took a little nap on the floor of my room after I took this picture. Today, I was feeling very adventurous and even took some time to try out a new makeup look, a little daring, a little edgy

A silver neutral eye with a POP of pink on the lower lash line. I liked it! and I liked all the compliments I got on it! It was super easy to do and fun to wear. That's all the Tuesday news I have for now.... and I am super tired so I am headed to bed now. Night Y'all.

Thats not exactly what I call fun....

....But what can I expect, it is Monday after all. Today I confess I did not wear an exciting pair of shoes, nor did I do anything all that thrilling. What I did do was go to the gym this morning wearing these:

and ended up wearing them the whole day, because immediately upon exiting the gym I had about 1000 and 1 errands to run (okay that might be a slight exaggeration but it certainly felt like alot). CVS, Target, Best Buy, the Bank and the UPS store all got my gym shoe clad feet walking through them today. I did however have time to download some new video editing software and edit a couple of videos for my YouTube Channel today. Had a bunch of fun adding music and new fun intros, so be on the look out for those soon! On a side note did any of you hear about what some guy found in his Mountain Dew... Gross. I knew I was smart to stop drinking soda all those years ago. I seriously hope this week goes by quickly, I miss the weekend already. This coming up weekend is my last one of freedom before classes start again, *Sigh*. I better do something EPIC. Happy Monday Y'all. 

And Before You Know It....

The weekend is over :( Its sometimes hard to believe how quickly the weekend always passes, far too quickly for my liking. Today I went to lunch with Mr. Friday, as we were sitting and chatting I was distracted by a woman sitting across the restaurant wearing a huge hot pink bow in her hair. It got me thinking at what point does fashion take a turn for the disastrous? I couldn't help but wonder what made this woman decided that the bow was the perfect accessory to wear to Chilli's (of all places). Did one of her fellow dinners not pull her aside and say "Hey listen, I love you, but I don't want to be seen in public with you and that bow in your hair". If one of my friends were wearing something like that to a restaurant I would certainly say something. I could understand wearing it to a special event or party or something, in fact it was cute but totally in the wrong setting. ANYWAYS enough of my rant. After lunch we walked around and then got some coffee. After parting, I went and did a little shopping Check out my HAUL video on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ThatGreeneyedGirl24?feature=mhee. As for the makeup I wore for the day date, I went simple, a pale pink with black liner.

As for my shoes today I went with my leopard print converse, a fun shoe paired with a pair of jeans and a dark green long sleeve sweater. I hope you guys had a great weekend. Yuck tommorrow is Monday.

Took them off before I remembered that I was suppossed to take a picture.

Oh Saturday...

Is there anyday better than a Saturday? Its the perfect weekend day, lots of fun things happen on Saturday and you know that no matter what you do you have another day waiting on the otherside, Sunday. My Saturday was super lazy today. I slept in and then spent some time reading and filming some videos for my Youtube Channel. One of the videos I did was a Red Lip tutorial. I dont know about any of you other girls, but red lipstick is one of the trickiest makeup technique for me to perform. It seems that before they always came out looking sloppy or worse (like I had just been kicked in the mouth by something). But after weeks of practicing I feel like I finally might have gotten it right.

Now I feel confidant in my abilities and want to share all my tips and tricks for achieving this stunning makeup look!

As for the shoes I wore today, I must say that I am inspired by this challenge I have given myself. I wore my new Black boots today (although they look a little silly since it feels like Spring here in NY right now).

Before I have always been obsessed with shoes but now I notice them wherever I go, and bought a new pair of brown ankle boots today (not sure if that is a good thing or not but...). Tommorrow I have a second date with Mr. Friday! YEAH for the Weekend!!!!

It's Friday Friday Friday!!

Good Friday everyone! Today was so busy, work was crazy. Friday is usally one of my favorite work days because it is so much more relaxed and we have less to do. Tonight was also interesting because I had a first date. Dinner at a Japanease resturant, causal but elegant! I choose an outfit that I was comfortable in but also looked classy.

Jeans are from Rue 21 and so is the sweater which is white with gold stripes. Underneath I paired it with a nude cami and brown heels, and gold jewerly.  

Day 2 different pair of shoes!



For my makeup I went natural brown, which I achieved using the original Naked Pallette. It was simple but dressy.

 

As far as the date is concerned I had a great time, we spent three hours over dinner laughing and getting to know each other. We ended the evening with plans for a second date!

The Start.....

Lets start crossing numbers off the list! #17 keep a blog everyday and #25 wear a different pair of shoes everyday. So far so good, day one, a brand new start! Todays shoes:

One of the reasons that I wanted to add this to the list was because I am the type of person to take the safe and secure route. I wear comfortable clothes and stare longingly at the girls in skinny jeans and stilletos. I don't want to be safe anymore, I want to do the unexpected and start living my life with purpose and excitement! So tommorrow I am tossing these back in the closet and taking out the black heels, It helps that friday night I have a date!!! What a great way to start the New Year!

Say Yea for new organization!!

Wahoo!!! For Christmas I bought myself a present (okay I admit I bought myself more than one :). Ta Da a new desk for my room!

It's beautiful right~! I love that now I have a place to do my homework (instead of sitting on my bed with my books spread all around and my laptop on my lap) as well as a place to keep and do my makeup. I just filmed an updated organizational video for my YouTube Channel so be sure to check that out!

Here's to a New Year!

Happy New Years everyone! A little belated I know. The new year has started basically the same way that the last one ended for me. Working, and getting ready for school to start in two weeks. I am not usually one to make New Years Resolutions but I though that since I am turning 26 (YIKES) this year I would create a list of 26 things I wanted to accomplish before my birthday and call them resolutions. I am not sure if any of you have seen the 2007 movie "bucket list" with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nickelson, in which two dying men create a list of things they want to do before they "Kick the bucket". But, after seeing that movie I created a list of my own (as I assume a lot of people did). If I am honest with myself I havent checked off nearly as many of the 100 things that I would have liked to. But some of them I did check off this past year, like #7 "eat dinner in a resturant alone" (which I did in Paris!) and #78 "Stand in awe before the Eiffel Tower" (obviously also in Paris). So for this brand new year I decied to take some of the items from my bucket list, as well as some of them that are not, and put them on the 26 things to do before I turn 26 list. Some of these things I have been putting off for a long time and feel that its about time I choose to not only better myself physically but mentally as well. One of the things I really want to accomplish on this list is to blog everyday. These posts might not always be beauty related but may concern something I read about or saw on T.V or even things that happened to me during the day. Some of these things I will keep track of everyday and let you guys know how my progress is going. And I must admit that some of these I cheated on, things like ride in a helicopter, learn to surf and swim with dolphins, I am planning a trip to Hawaii in June and planned to do these things while I was there. But since they were on my bucket list anyways I thought I could include them on this list too. Here's hoping I can find enough things to keep you guys entertained for the next 7 months. Wish me luck on completing this list before I turn 26 on the 26th of July!
