Day 8: Your sky. It has finally started feeling like winter here in Springfield. We got a little bit of snow and have had a few days of gloomy skies. I think they're beautiful thought, and love getting cloudy sky photos on my phone.
Day 9: Daily routine. Writing in my journals and planner. Making lists and goals and plans, jotting down future blog post ideas and shop inspiration, and checking off things I accomplish on my to-do list. I take these everywhere with me..they're kind of my favorite part of the day.
Day 10: Childhood. Here's 3-year-old Mandy! Even back then, I had crazy hair. :]
Day 11: Where you sleep. My bed looks like it could belong to a little kid, haha. I like it though, it's super comfy. I'm currently on the hunt for cute vintage bedding and throw pillows.
Day 12: Close-up. Bobbleheads! My dad has been getting me one for the past couple Christmases. I think they're hilarious! Here's a close-up of Carol, from Where The Wild Things Are, and Mr. Hanky from South Park. Yeah, coolest dad ever.
Day 13: In your bag. I love doing little "what's in my bag" peeks! Here's what's currently in my bag... Andy Warhol shoes journal, Little Otsu planner, fox wallet/Target, owl coin purse/Target, whale compact mirror/Forever 21, my keys, menthol+eucalyptus salve/drugstore.com, rose salve/Bath and Body Works, heart sunglasses/EBay, teal flower hair clip/Sunshine + Carousels, mascara + eyeliner/walmart, 2012 lipgloss/Bath and Body Works, 'Babydoll' lipgloss/e.l.f.
Day 14: Something you're reading. How To Sew A Button, The Hunger Games [totally reading the series again!], and Practically Posh. Y'all know about my love for The Hunger Games, and these are two of my favorite How-To/DIY books ever. ♥
News from the Week:
- I got new running shoes! So excited to get the treadmill out and start jogging. I've had a crazy urge this whole past week to go running, I'm so excited to start.
- No weight loss this week [but no gain either]. I've had some struggles with my food the past week.....I've had my good meals but I've also had some bad. However, I'm extremely proud of myself because I have begun working out every other day for at least 30 minutes. I'm already feeling myself getting stronger and this is so motivating! I'm really going to focus this next week on staying away from fast food and coming up with quick, easy snacks for those moments when I'm craving bad foods.
- Earlier this week I finished planning out my blog posts for the rest of January, and some of February too. I love being this caught up with my blog and feel like I'm going to be able to achieve so much this year. Definitely a good start to 2012.
- I have been reacquainted with my 9-yearr-old love of pink. I'm wanting everything to be pink right now...even my hair. Maybe a goal for this year? Oh, and my bedroom smells like bubblegum. ♥ Happy weekend!

I have bright pink hair at the moment and I love it! It is high maintenance though but totally worth it <3
ReplyDeletethe contents of your bag are adorable! the fox purse is so cute :-)
ReplyDeletei love this new feature of yours. such a huge instagram fan and like the whole catch up idea. i'm following weight watchers too (lost 2 stone [14lbs] pre christmas and have 3 stone [42lbs] left to go now). every lb counts so well done on your loss this week! exercising will definitely help, i've just got back into running again and the weight drops off!
