Girl on Fire!~!

Wahoo! I am a girl on fire.... okay yes that was a totally cheesy play on words (but since I recently finished the "Hunger Games" novels I thought it was fitting!) I have been such a Good girl lately that I rewarded myself with the purchase of a Kindle Fire today!

I was so excited for a couple of different reasons. 1 being that I am an avid reader, I have ibooks on my Ipod touch but if any of you are familiar with that program you know that its really small and zooming in only makes it so that only a couple of sentances fit on one page. The Fire is great because its almost the same size as a real book and flows easily from one page to another. 2 because e-textbooks are quite a bit cheaper than buying the actually thing, and I will be able to take them with me to the gym, appoitments etc... and not feel like a total loser for having a huge book sitting on my lap. Not only that but you can actually highlight on the page and make annotations which is great since I am a HUGE note taker. And 3rd because it not only is an e-reader but also a video player which means that I can watch my netfilx on my Fire and do my homework at the same time, My Wii which also has the streaming of netflix on it, is on the big screen in our house, which is coinsidentialy not in my bedroom). My mom is actually going to be getting one of these later on in the week so we can link ours to the same prime account and both get the benifits of having one of these! Hope you all enjoyed your extra day off this week!

Steph's Tidbits:

• I am feeling almost 100% better after this weekend, although I still have not regained my appitite. It's been mostly Water for me today.
• I wactched 50/50 last night. It was a decent movie (I really like Seth Rogan, he is So funny in Knocked up!) but it also made me very angry with the medical industry, especially since this was based on a real life experience
• I am starting the countdown to when I leave for a weeks vacation in Flordia! only 47 more days!!

Night y'all

Nothings More Comfortable than the Bathroom Floor...

Oh wait.... there are a MILLION things more comfortable than the bathroom floor. But thats where I spent about haft my day today. I have been feeling very yucky today. Add on top of that the massive amount of homework I have to do.... (Do I hear an echo? it seems as though I have been saying that a lot lately). I might actually be a little over my head this semester. Just keep breathing.... Just keep breathing... Just keep breathing.

Night Y'all

Saturday's Alright For.....

Math class? I don't think so. For dinner and a movie with a boy? that sounds better! Even though I did have to attend class this morning, the prospect of spending the evening with Mr.Friday was enough to get me through the morning. We planned to celebrate Valentines day (a little belated) this evening and he didn't disappoint:

He brought me these along with two bottles of white wine. We had reservations at a hibachi restaurant here in NY called Mt.Fuji. A beautiful restaurant with an even more beautiful scenery.

After dinner we came back to my place for a movie and some wine. We watched Predator, a hilarious Arnold Schwarzenegger film. We both very much enjoy cheesy 80's action movies and this is one of his favorites. Overall it was a wonderful evening, although I must admit that I had WAY too much to drink. Hope you guys had a great start to the long weekend!




Steph's Tidbits:

• We made homemade smoothies this evening as well. Mango and Banana for me, and mixed berry for Mr.Friday, YUM
• Harry Potter is on ABC family this weekend, they always have great extra features when they show these movies
• At dinner we sat with some wonderful people. I always like when I can meet new people, even if I know they will only be in my life for that one night!

TGI FRIDAY!!

Thank goodness this week is over, oh crap thats right its not over for me. I still have a ton of homework to finish and class to attend tommorrow morning. That being said I have to keep this short so that I can get all that accomplished, but a short blog post is better than No blog post, right?

Night Y'all!

PreWeekend Hype...

I have SOOOOO much to do before I can enjoy my weekend. We have a long weekend here in NY for Presidents weekend. I still have an eight page paper to write (Talk about procrastination) and two classes worth of homework to do. Mr.Friday and I have big plans for Saturday, which means that I have to have most of this done before then, Yikes. But on to other topics. Once a week I do a through cleaning of my Face Makeup Brushes. I though I would give you guys a behind the scenes look at how I do that:

I usually use my brush cleanser, my palm and a little warm water to wash my brushes. And then to dry them I use a totally hightech way to dry them. A rubberband tied around the handle and then hairclipped to my towel rack, lol. I ordered my brush protector from ebay for like $1.99 for 2M. It took a ridiculously long time for them to arrive but was worth it in the long run. On a sour note I have had some serious trouble with my Video editing software, so I have a couple of videos filmed but unable to upload them yet. But don't worry I have my "People" on it!


Steph's Tidbits:

• Wahoo Grey's is on tonight!
• I am trying SO hard to concentrate right now, but all I want to do is Watch YouTube tutorials
• I am going to have the house to myself this weekend :) well alone as in Me, the three cats and Molly( our beagle mutt) so not really alone!

To Be or Not to Be....CrAzY

I am seriously distracted tonight. Which is no good since I have a TON of homework to still do for the week. I was rockin out to some music a little while ago and then I started watching Anthony Bourdain on the Travel Channel, he is so funny (in a crass brash kind of way), and always good for a distraction. Today was a kind of boring day, with not much to do other than homework and build a sweet Train Track with the kids (we are talkin epic!). How many of you watched the Grammy's this past weekend? I think most everyone looked fantastic (not you Nicki Minaj). I actually hate that entertainment shows pick the stars apart to decide who was the best or worse dressed. In a culture that deals so harshly with bullying in "real" life, we turn into the bullies when we dissec every little thing that a person wore to an awards ceremony. That being said I do have to say my favorite was Adele, she looked simply flawless, and no better person deserved to win that many awards. She rocked two different looks at the show, a brown neutral eye with bold red lips for the red carpet and more nudy rose lips for her performance: Which is your favorite?

I am lovin the simplicity of her look and her outfits! Another fashion photo I am in love with right now is Jennifer Aniston on the cover of GQ:

I am adoring her makeup. She always looks fantastic but this simple brown look with pink lips is so flattering on her and would be on just about anyone! Plus she is so brave to strip down and say " I have a great body that I worked really hard for, so I am going to show it off" I wish I had that self- esteem! I think I might have to break out the video camera and film a tutorial on how to achieve this. I wonder if Mr.Friday would like it if I showed up for our next date lookin like this :)




Steph's Tidbits:

• Today I was in a playful mood, so I wore my Cheese shirt! It has a picture of two cheese' on it with one being shredded and the other screaming "You Monster" lol!!!!
• After watching anything on the Travel channel I always long to jump on an airplane and head out on a vacation. June cannot come quick enough.
• I have to admit that I feel like I just might be going a bit crazy lately, I have taken to talking to my Hulk figurine while doing homework. I am not going to worry though, till he starts talking back :)

Night Y'all !! 

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

UGH..... Valentine's day. I still did my makeup (Valentine's day inspired!) even though I didn't have any plans. I am totally swamped with homework. 2 quizes, a 3 page paper, and research for two term papers. Yuck. Gotta Run....

Steph's Tidbits: \

• Watching "Whats Your Number" its kinda cute and Chris Evens is H O T !!
• Finally finished the Hunger Games books and they were very very good
•  French Toast sticks its whats for dinner!

Monday Blues.....

The day before Valentines day is always rough, especially when you don't have plans. Given that I don't have much to say other than I am swamped with homework, especially since I can't seem to put the Hunger Games books down.

Night Ya'll

Birchbox Sunday's

Yesterday I got my Febuary Birchbox! After January I was feeling a little aprehensive about this months box. I have not been totally impressed with Birchbox as of yet. And this month they didnt do much to help my opinion.

This month I recieved, Eye Rock designer liner, Colorescience pro glow and go travel puff, Kiehl's Clearly corrective dark spot solution, Juice Beauty green apple peel sensitive, Chuao Chocolatier spicy maya chocopod, and (and this makes completly NO sense) six downloads from a group called Green River Ordinance. I have no use for much of anything in this box. I am seriously reconsidering my subscription to birchbox at this point. As for my Sunday afternoon. I spent it working both on homework and with the kids. Valentine's day is this week and I have NO plans. Though I am dating someone so how much sense does that make :( But I do have a great makeup tutorial that I am planning on doing for the day!

Steph's Tidbits:

• I was very sad to hear about Whitney Houston's death. She was a huge influence on the music industry and will be sadly missed
• I had a green apple slushy yesterday from Sonic and now I am craving another one. Too bad its like a 30 minute drive from my house.
• Watchin the Grammy's on T.v tonight. I really liked Adele's makeup, she is so beautiful and the perfect example that you don't have to be a size two to be beautiful.

One is the lonliest number....

I am feeling very sad tonight. If I were to be honest I might even say that I cried a little tonight. You might be asking yourself why? I am not even sure. It was a pretty good day, Mr.Friday and I went to see a couple of movies and then had dinner. I think it might have to do with the tug of war I am feeling between my heart and my mind about lots of different things. Curse you indecision.....
