{May Goals: Recap}

Remember when I did my May Goals post? Well, it's officially June folks. So let me do a quick recap of how I did.

1. Read a book a week (or 5 a month)-- Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, Fifty Shades Freed, The Happiness Project, The House on Oyster Creek, 
2. Start studying for the LSAT again-- sort of, bough a groupon for an online course, but haven't used it yet
3. Relax more-- Vacation, Check
4. Do yoga for at least 20 minutes 5 times a week.
5. Enjoy my friends more
6. Make new friends-blog friends count right?
7. lose 7 pounds-- not so much. p
8. Get back in the gym--Although slightly deterred by the vacation, I'm doing better!
9. Stick to an eating plan- Stupid vacation
10. Get serious about job hunting-- Hopefully we'll have some news soon.
11. Set up 2 random coffee dates-- fail
12. Stick to a strict budget-- ehh... not really
13. Visit the Doctor-it's a very long story, but no. I have an appointment on Monday though :)
14. Drink more water- nope
15. Plan a trip to Atlanta-nope
16. Plan a different trip for August- not yet
17. Keep my room cleaner-sorta?
18. Re-organize my makeup situation-- currently its a hot mess
19. Get rid of 10 pieces of clothing/shoes-- I don't have room.
20. Oh Walk 10K a day-- Yep!
21. Finish 1 DIY project. just one. 
22. Execute a fabulous birthday party-- It was great, read here
23. Re-design the blog-- I can't believe I failed on this one. I haven't had a ton of time to really look for a new design/designer I love, so recommendations are always appreciated. 
24. Start taking pictures on my camera, not the old iPhone. 
25. Drink less caffeine--fail.
26. Get new running shoes.
27. Pick a new computer-- See #12.
28. Wash my face EVERY MORNING and EVERY NIGHT- not perfect, but much better
29. Whiten my teeth.
30. DON'T buy any new products unless I'm ABSOLUTELY out- Woohoo, Can't believe I actually did it!
31. Treat myself to a mani-pedi-- because lets be honest, I deserve it. Especially if I achieve even half of these goals. 

Well... That's a lot of red. I did okay, but I could have done a lot better. I am liking this though, reflecting on personal growth each month. It's definitely keeping me accountable. I'm giving myself a mini-pass this month, because it was a really busy one, and I was gone for over a third of it, so... those 10 days don't count right? 

I want some time to think about my June Goals, so I'll try to get a post up about that sometime over the weekend.

I'm so glad it's finally Friday! woohoo! I have a semi-busy weekend planned with Nat's games (if it doesn't rain), costume parties and Blogger Blitz!!! So excited!!!

Hope y'all have a great one!

Congratulations to Rachel! She just had her second baby, so she is definitely going to need some relaxation time this summer! I'm so excited for you love!

I've been wanting to do one of Neely's it's okay link up's forever, so what's better than the present.

It's Okay...

to drink three cups of coffee before 10 am, just because you can't get enough.

to be crazy sore from yoga, to the point that it hurts to lift your arms.

to drink 3 purple hazes on a Wednesday night, with your boss in tow no less.

to wear ankle pants to work (wait, is it really? oh well)

to be obsessed with my new app viggle. Like I have 7000 points in less than a week. granted I watch CNN literally all day when I'm at the office. 

to be BEYOND excited to meet so many of my dc blogger friends at Blogger Blitz on Sunday!

to be dreaming of another beach vacation. I need more beach time asap.

to be scared about major life changes.

to make those changes anyways.

to eat 2 fast food milkshakes in 3 days. who does that?


to wish it was the 4th of july already, because I need another 4 day week.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I had so much fun linking up with Jaime last week, so I decided to do it again. Here's what I'm loving this Wednesday.

I'm loving that it's already Wednesday! Four day weeks are the best.

I'm loving my new Stila Custom Color Blush I picked up last week with my Birchbox points.

I'm loving this TJ Maxx find

I picked up this skirt from Talbots. TJ Maxx is always hit or miss, but I have to say the last few times I've gone I've found some great things. Anyway, found this skirt for 90% the original price! It's beautiful, and real quality silk. Love it.

I'm loving that I've finally discovered how awesome twitter is. You should totally follow me here. 

 I'm loving that I finally got my Starbucks Gold Card in the mail last night! I'm so legit right now, you have no idea.

Another TJ Maxx find. Uber-Prep Ralph Lauren Boat shoes in pink. I totally wore them to yoga last night and got a few looks when I walked in. But as we left class the skies opened up... sucks for all y'all in your TOMS. Haha. jk, but not really.

I picked up a few Aveda samples at the girls night out event last week, and I'm loving how soft this leave in treatment has made my hair. Watch out It's a 10. You are in danger of being replaced.  

Do you have Pot Belly near you? OMG they just came out with a new Mediterranean Sandwich. AND. IT'S. AWESOME. This is gonna get bad y'all.

I'm loving all of you who've entered my giveaway! There's still some time if you haven't entered yet!!!

So that's it. What I'm loving this Wednesday. Go to Jaime's blog and link up!

Happy Tuesday

Welcome back to the real world! I'm so glad it's Tuesday and not Monday, right? I had a wonderfully low key weekend. Like the kind of weekend you don't leave your house for almost two days, and don't get up from the couch for the same amount of time. It was great. I finally caught up on all of my post-vacation laundry, cleaned my room, washed my sheets (I was a laundry fiend on Sunday), drank lots of coffee and skinny margaritas. 

Friday after work I headed over to the first Jazz in the Sculpture Garden of the season. It was wonderful, but HOT. Whew. Hello summer. 

Then we went to Cava for a late dinner and hit up our favorite, Lola's for an after dinner drink. Then we went home where I sat for two whole days. haha. you think I'm kidding. but I'm not. 

One thing that didn't help was my discovery of Viggle. Have you heard of it? It's an app that rewards you for watching TV. I know. You basically "check in" at the beginning of every show you watch and they give you a point for every minute you watch. Then you can redeem your point for rewards like Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, Apple, Sephora, etc. Plus it's really easy to rack up bonus points. I'm now slightly addicted to it. Oh well. At least I can justify my addiction to the Real Housewives now. 

I tweeted this picture last night.

I couldn't sleep, so I started a new book. Needless to say 10 pages in to this baby and I was out cold. Not exactly a page turner like fifty shades of grey. oh well. 

I have gotten a few new beauty products (finally cashed in my 700 Birchbox points) that I'm in the process of reviewing, so get excited for that. 

Other than that, my life is pretty boring. Oh, thanks to all of you who entered my giveaway! If you haven't yet there's still time! Hope y'all have a great Tuesday!
