25th Birthday

Hi All,

Ahh Quarter Life Crisis is real... the BIG 25 is on April 3rd.  So what does this mean to me?  It means I am freaking out about where my life is or is not going.  After 25 years however I have learned a few things about myself and I thought I would share 25 things with you.

1.  I am currently almost 25 years young and afraid to grow up.
2.  I have a slight obsession with the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers! A bit of a sports nut.
3.  My right foot is about a size and a half or two sizes bigger than my left foot.
4.  I can lick my nose.
5.  My eyes are green but a lot of the time they look really blue.
6.  My fourth toe on my left foot is shorter than my pinky toe (I have strange feet I know!).
7.  I currently have four tattoos.  Each of which have a deep meaning to me.
8.  My favorite color is baby blue.
9.  I love desserts and anything sweet.  I get my sweet tooth from my mom.
10.  I could eat ice cream everyday.  I got this from my dad.
11.  I am a big fan of the 80's.  Hair, music, movies! Love them all.
12.  My favorite movie is 10 Things I Hate About You.
13.  I traveled Australia for a month and it definitely opened my eyes to living in a different country.  Which is now a dream of mine.
14.  I cut off a part of my right ring finger when I was five.  My dad told me not to touch something and I did anyways.  Now I have a strange shaped finger and a desire to follow the rules!
15.  I am a big fan of Netflix! I have finished one too many series to admit but I love TV shows.
16.  I started dancing when I was nine years old.  And would love to get back into classes as an adult.
17.  Country music is my favorite.  I would love to live in Nashville and pretend I was an up and coming country star.
18.  I am extremely competitive!
19.  I'm afraid of driving over and under bridges.  I hate being stuck under them or on them.
20.  I have an obsession with wayfarer sunglasses.
21.  My family and friends are the most important things in my life.  I would be lost without them.
22. I hate hate hate frogs! They are gross and scare me!
23.  My favorite thing about myself are my eyes.  My mom used to call them monster green.
24.  I am a brown belt in karate, though I have not taken lessons since I was 10.
25.  The future scares the piss out of me.  I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up and that's terrifying.

So now you know 25 random things about me!

One Year Later

Wow... It has been almost a year since I posted here... Oh how times have changed!  Let's break this down into a couple aspects of my life.

Hair:  I dropped about 5 inches of hair this year!  Starting off 2015 with a new look for a new me!

Short and Sassy

Job:  Well... A year and a half later and I still work at Victoria's Secret.  Yeah, yeah, yeah... fingers crossed next year when I update you all I will have burned that bridge.  I also however am working for the Milwaukee Brewers.  There isn't a better feeling than walking into Miller Park everyday for work.  I am the Helfaer Field Supervisor and manage the day to day operations of the little league baseball field.  Watching the excitement on the faces of all of the little leaguers playing in the shadow of some of their greatest inspirations is something I could never get sick of.  It truly is one of the funnest most rewarding jobs I have ever worked.

Home Life:  Well I am still living in the same place in Milwaukee with my roommate.  But we did add a furry friend into our lives.  Meet Maverick Moose... He is a 2 year old Boxer/Mastiff mix that we rescued from the Wisconsin Humane Society.

What a Stud Muffin!

Love Life:  Nonexistent....

Health:  As of February 2015 I have become an Independent Beachbody Coach.  I am currently working on better my health and inspiring others to better their health as well.  It has definitely been a rocky road but it is something that I just have to keep pushing through.  I am not working to get skinny but I am working to get fit and healthy!  Check out my website!

That's about all of the new and exciting things happening in my life.  I have been binge watching Friends on Netflix and I am on the last season, so let me get back to that!

Ahhh Big City Life!

Hi All,

So this girl has been a busy bee lately!  It seems like once I have caught up on everything I have a new project or activity to keep me busy.  Kind of a new concept to me... Life in a small town truly does seem to move a bit slower.  Maybe it's because there really isn't much to do in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin and there is just sooooooooooooo many things to do in Milwaukee.  And maybe it's because I am the new fish in this sea, and I am still kinda trying to find my way.  But, it seems like I have been doing a lot of running around.   But I will do my best to keep posting and letting you know how a small town girl adjusts to life in the big city.  Stay classy friends and enjoy a sunny Sunday!

New Favorite Butt Workout

Hi All,

So 2014 is going to be a big year for me I know it! And one of the big things that I want to do is get my butt skinny! Well not just my butt, but my whole damn body!  Having a pool at my apartment definitely helps with my motivation, also those cute guys wandering around who I will hopefully be seeing at the pool.  So with that being said I have recently stumbled upon an awesome, quick and easy butt workout on Pinterest, and I am addicted. You can find it here: http://backonpointe.tumblr.com/post/24907237515.

It is very simple, which I like, because I am one to shy away from long complicated workouts because I am so ADD if a workout is too lengthy, I am all like "Okay, I'm bored, Let's go eat cake!"  

There are just 6 simple moves!
1.  Weight Toe Touches (Standing

2.  Back Leg Lifts

3.  Side Leg Lifts

4.  Vertical Leg Lift (on all fours)

5.  Knee bend (on all fours)

6.  Hip Raises

Seriously you wouldn't think this would have as much as affect as it does but I have been doing it every day for like a week and definitely can see some difference in my butt and upper thighs.  And my buns feel it when I am done for sure!

Happy Workouts Everyone!!!

The Fashion Tag

Hi All,

 I found this amazing Fashion Tag on Anna Saccone's Blog (http://www.annasaccone.com/) she is a great blogger and YouTuber from the UK!  Check her out!

The Fashion Tag

1. How would you describe your style?

Funky casual and trendy... I like to mix different styles and just rock it!  I love colors and patterns and love to always have a wow piece on me.  I love layers because I usually can't decide what I want to wear so I just wear it all.  I like to be comfortable, tend to wear leggings a lot! I am a country girl at heart so I love my flannel and denim shirts.  I would wear converse or Toms with every outfit if I didn't have a thousand pair do shoes.

2. What are your wardrobe staples?

Skinny jeans, flannels, combat boots, flows shirts, big sweaters, flip flops, Converse, Toms and leggings.  And obviously black everything for work.

3. Most expensive item in your closet?

Honestly I try to buy everything on sale and labels don't mean that much to me so probably a pair of Miss Me Jeans or my Coach bag if we are talking money I spent. But if we are talking gifts some of my jewelry from my amazing family.

4. Most wanted item?

Right now I really really really want a pair of Black Glossy Hunter Wellies because they are adorable and I live in Wisconsin and winters are snowy and springs and summers are rainy so they would get so much wear.

5. Favourite designer?

Betsey Johnson.. She has sooo many different eclectic designs that she has something designed for every mood I am in!

6. How much do you spend on clothes?

As little as possible... I rarely buy anything full priced and I am constantly looking for great deals! I tend to spend more on jeans and shoes than any other item in my wardrobe.

7. What are your favourite places to shop?

TJMaxx, Victoria's Secret, Forever 21, Maurices, Francescas

8. Favourite fragrance?

Marc Jacobs Lola

9. What's your favourite way to do your hair?

The first day after a wash straight with a deep side part or a center part depending on how it dried.  The second day curled.  Lately I have been using my Bed Head Curlipops 1 inch tapered curling wand.  I have really thick hair so I usually use pretty large sections then brush it out and put some texture spray in it to give it a more natural look.

Like This! *Sorry its horrible lighting*

Or if I am having a horrible hair day I throw on a hat and rock something this!

 

10. What is your go-to outfit when you have no idea what to wear?

Fall/Winter:  Skinny jeans or leggings with a simple sweater a statement necklace or scarf and some boots.

Spring/Summer:  Capris or shorts, gladiator sandals, a plain or graphic tee and a flannel with some fun jewelry.

11. One fashion trend you wish would come back or stay?

Leggings!  If they ever go out of style I am screwed!  Sometimes I am just too lazy to wear pants....*I know I am not alone in that statement!  Also, pretty much everything from the 80s!  I would love to rock big hair and oversized sweaters with leggings and Keds with frilly ankle socks everyday!

 12. Show us your most prized possession in your wardrobe.

This necklace was made custom for me and I love it so much.  It is a dove pulling a string of pearls and it was the logo for my family's jewelry store for years.  My father actually drew it and I have it tattooed on my foot in remembrance of him.  For my high school graduation my Aunts, Uncles and cousins had it made and it is definitely one of the most meaningful items in my life.

13. Tag some people.

I tag YOU!  If you enjoyed this do it yourself!  I would love to read more of these! So much fun!

Quick Update

 Hi All,

Well I moved all of my stuff down to Milwaukee this past weekend so I have been busy unpacking and making my new place feel like home.  It is a lot bigger than I had remembered which is awesome so I have lots of space to fill.  So eventually it will be an adorable place for me and my roommate and hopefully one day soon a furry friend to keep us company.

I will be one to admit that I love being from a small town and living in small towns, but there are definitely perks to living in a big city as well.  And I am experiencing first hand how awesome big city life is!  Can I just say that I love being able to drive 5 minutes, or LESS to be at Target!  That's insanely awesome!  And while I am visiting Target I can swing by Kohls, Marshalls and HomeGoods, Pick N' Save, Home Depot and some other fun places.  This just kinda blows my mind!

And speaking of Pick N' Save, my roommate and I made our first trip to the local groceries to stock up on everyday essentials like beer and wine. And while we were there, we pretty much became real locals because we signed up for the saver card!  I am a real local now!  Well that's about it for now, time to go back to enjoying big city life!
