A Few of My Favorite Things

May 22, 2013 by Katie

Workout

Yesterday: Nada. I’m developing a sun rash from the weekend’s activities (which I’ve mentioned before that I get from time to time—NOT COOL), so I decided to just hang out to not anger it. Being sunburnt really sucks sometimes. Don’t do it.

Today: Possibly doing a treadmill workout, depending on how I’m feeling.


Exactly two years ago from today I graduated from college. Eeeee!

Graduation day

It feels like it was just yesterday that I was staying up till the wee hours of the morning, eating crab rangoon with friends after a night of dance parties. Now? I stick pretty close to my 9:30pm bedtime. What can I say? I like my sleep.

Overall, I guess the real world hasn’t been too horrible. My plan before I graduated was to get some sort of marketing job in the Chicago area. Now, I’m living in California with Matt and working as a writer. Crazy where life takes us sometimes. Definitely happy with the path so far though. Smile

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

Here is some of the coolness I’ve discovered recently, that I feel the need to share with you guys. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Nail Polish Color: Russian Navy Matte by OPI. Ever since I’ve started painting my nails recently, I’ve become addicted to the girly-ness. I’m in love with this navy nail polish, so I might have to go exploring this weekend to find some.

Tip: Avocado Stem. My life has been changed ever since I found this out. I just need to share this, so everyone knows. When you’re buying avocados, knock the stem part off the fruit, and if it’s greenish-yellow underneath, the avocado is good. If it’s brown, then it’s too ripe.

Quote: The good in people. Whenever I’m around certain, “good” people, I suppose you could say, life just seems so much better. There are just some people who refresh your outlook on life.

Website: All you. I don’t remember how I found out about this site, but I go to it whenever I actually remember to. There’s a new free sample everyday. It ranges from tiny little lotion samples to a free Droid phone (which happened this weekend). Definitely worth taking a look at once in awhile!

Untitled

Picture: Roasted Marshmallows. It’s crazy how such a simple picture can cause me to reflect so much on past bonfires and fun with friends. Oh…and I’m definitely one of those people that just lights their marshmallow on fire. Don’t judge me. It makes my life easier.

    Hi Katie, found you on another blog, wanted to read your favorite things Post. We have alot in common. Love the leggins, I think thats just what the doctor ordered, your talking to someone who is always cold. Thanks! Christmas is one of my favorite things too. I have to admit that I start to play Christmas music around October, don’t put anything up till after Thanksgiving. I like to have a whole family day, I never shopped on Black Friday, and never will. I like to light up my marchmellows too, even the black part tastes good. I wish you a Blessed Christmas, I am excited about your new house, have fun. Don’t forget to thank the Lord for all His blessings, the Biggest one being His Son. Thanks, Donna
