Running Song of the Day

So I don't know about you but in order for me to be running at the gym I need to have awesome, upbeat dance music blasting in order to give me the motivation to keep going or to run fast when I am doing intervals.



As of right now I am addicted to this song. So much so that I contemplate pumping my fists in the air while running on the treadmill at the gym... but I don't. Can't look too crazy!

Unexpected beauty product

I usually look to makeup stores or hair salons to get products for my beauty regimen but as of 3 months ago I have acquired a new product that is part of my daily routine.

VITAMINS!

I know it sounds weird but I have been trying new vitamins that have biotin in them. Biotin is supposed to help hair and nail growth. The vitamins I use are from GNC.

I like them because they don't make me feel sick to my stomach when I take them and I can actually see huge differences. For starters, I dye my hair every 6 weeks but now I have to change it to 5 because the roots are so noticeable. Also, I feel like I hardly ever have to trim my toe nails and now I have to do it every week.  This is great for me because I'm trying to grow my hair out long.

Even my sister and mom have bought these because of hearing me rave.

Have you tried them?



*I was not compensated to review this product. It is my honest experience and opinion.

Coco's Birthday

Today is my non-bioligcal son's birthday! That's right! My dog, Coco, is five years old today- that's thirty-five in doggy years!

This is a more recent photo of Coco lounging on my bed as always.

This is him a couple of winters ago playing in the snow.

This is the first day I saw him and chose him to be mine. I decided on him because of all the dogs he was the only one who wagged his tail when he played with me. :)

Happy Birthday, Coco!

Ashley Olsen

Time to start punishing my thighs for the summer time so I can look just as cute as Ashley in these shorts.

How perfect is this outfit, though?

haha. perfect.

don't you wish you could say this to people sometimes?

UPDATE!

As you may know from a couple posts back, I ordered some leather clutches from American Apparel. Well, I loved them. I got two. One in black, the other in tan. I was hoping for them to come out with bright summer colors and my prayers have been answered!!!!!! They came out in more colors than I could have ever dreamed of!

However, it seems they are not all available as of yet so you may have better luck finding them at a store right now than online. I'm sure they will stock up soon. Another bummer? The price went up by $5. Boooo. I mean, I get that its popular but let's just leave the price alone! Am I right? I hope I come across a coral one. Coral is my color this spring. :)

online drooling.

So yesterday I got my wisdom teeth taken out. The experience was not as bad as I thought it would be. I was planning on creating a will and donating my nintendo wii to charity but as it turns out- it was a 20 minute procedure that left me in minimal pain. So here I am at home with chipmunk cheeks browsing the internet for things I don't need but am finding myself purchasing. Don't you hate/ love when that happens?

Well here is my first purchase of the day:

These are a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses that I am in love with. I have been looking all over the place for a cool pair of sunglasses that are flat across the top.  You can purchase these at marcjacobs.com. Some pairs also come with stripes on the temples. I got mine in a solid black.

Another thing that I have been searching for is a cute pair of pumps to wear in the summertime with rolled and/or ripped jeans. Kinda like Kim K does. I went on Jessica Simpson's online store and I found the perfect pair of shoes! These babies will be mine but first I need to find them at a store. I need to try before I buy with shoes... I hate having to mail in exchanges.

How cute, right?!? They are called "Ely". I can't wait until the weather is nice/warm/rain-free over here on the east coast and I can start wearing them!

As for a more comfortable pair of shoes.. I finally gave in and decided to rock the boat shoes. I got myself a pair of Sperry Topsiders that should be arriving any day now. I need to give my feet a rest during the summer and not just wear heels. Do any of you own Sperry's? Do you love them? I hear good things!

This is the pair I ordered. They are called the "Angelfish". They come in a bunch of other colors, too.

Do you have any summer must haves?
