The YES Man

Spring break throwback picture, much? I went there.

Life is about breaking the mold, trying different things, meeting new people, right? Well for the longest time I have had trouble changing up my routine. I would eat the same foods at the same times and work out like a fiend (you wouldn't want to be around me if I missed a gym-sesh). This got me no-where. Read that again, NO WHERE! I was miserable and I was missing out on fun things I can't even begin to ponder (fancy college-grad word). I made a conscious choice recently (as of almost a week now) to be somewhat like the YES MAN. You know the Yes Man? Well, more like Jim Carey's character in the Yes Man. So when someone asks me to do something fun (*disclaimer: I would never do anything that would lead me to harm and/or injure myself*), I will just do it. Get my Nike reference? Oh well.

With all that said, I'm packing up my bags (okay, more like one overnight bag) and heading to Massachusetts for the night. I'm driving up for a wedding with my friend Chris. Do you know Chris? Let me introduce you...he has a blog too (if you like reading about sports and rants!) I know, shameless plugging of his blog...at least his captions are funny. Not hooked, girls? Chris, "dis (blog) is for ladies!" Anyone get my John Tucker Must Die reference? Probably not, it sounded pretty good when I said it in my head...what a rant this post is turning into...

Anyway, I'm heading off soon-ish but I need to pack some snacks first. Hello, I am embarking on a 3+ hour drive. I'm thinking a bag of organic carrots and a super duper Pink Lady apple from Trader Joe's and some Cinnamon Chex (gluten free) because a girl has got to get her crunch on! Oh and some chocolate chips...because I want what I want. Anyone have trouble packing food for a road trip during odd hours? I'm missing lunch :( but it will be worth it--drinking and dancing all night, woo-hoo!

And a happy early Father's Day to my Papa.

Love You!

Have a great weekend y'all!

Chocolate Wasted

Hey y'all (like my fake Southern twang?) I needed a massive pick-me-up after today. You know those ruts that are so hard to get out of. When you cry for no reason (like because your wireless internet won't let you connect or because you cut your finger cleaning a blender?) Yeah, about that. Tonight I decided I needed to get chocolate wasted and drown my sorrows into a big pink cup of chocolaty smoothie goodness.

The new blender :)

The essentials for supreme smoothie making.

The smoothie in my $ store cup...keepin' it classy at all times.

Aerial shot.

Oh, and sorry for the horrible lighting in these pictures. Turns out the flash mode on my camera is non functioning, oh happy day. Good thing I still need to pick out my graduation present, new digital camera perhaps? What kinds do you recommend? Sistah needs some flash!

How was every one's Thanksgiving?

Mine was pretty good: great food, family, and a bunch of laughs...
Despite the Holiday cheer: the colorful leaves, sweet aromas, gift giving guides, and (gasp, already!) Christmas music, it may be hard to believe that I am in a rut.
It's not like I am stressed, or heartbreakingly sad...I am just blah!
I wish I could clearly articulate my stresses or worries, it would probably be therapeutic and helpful but for some weird and bizarre reason, I can't get it out; I can't unleash the inner demons that are driving me mad right now, absolutely MAD!
I think it's the feeling of being stuck: stuck in a place, stuck with the same people (although I love everyone in my life). I crave something new and different, which is weird considering I am usually scared of change. I am just looking for something....new? different? unexpected? challenging?

I know this is a fashion blog, and no one wants to read about my foolish woes, so I guess I can appease you all...although I do not have an outfit post (major SLACKER, I have been bumming it since I have been home for break), I have something I want to show you guys!
These are the new black heels I got at Forever21 for $23.00.
They are super high and super cute and I can't wait to wear them at my sorority formal in December...all I need now is a dress....oh yeah, and a date!

What do you guys think? Do you love them as much as I do?

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great Holiday Break, let me know all your black Friday purchases!
I hope I can get out of this rut: so far I have been trying with tons of Kettle Corn and movie--I went from Post Grad to Sweet November.
Wish me luck!
xoxo

PS: I guess enjoying the simple things in life is my first step in getting over this rut. I am just going to take some advice from the character of Adam Davies in Post Grad,
"Every evil, terrible thing that ever occurs in the world is directly offset, counterbalanced if you will, by the complete utter joy of biting into an Eskimo Pie. It's the way we maintain balance in the universe."
