This blog started as a place to write about my life after graduation from college. It has since turned into a book review blog, a food challenge blog, a Whole 30 experience blog and soon, a pizza diet blog. Basically I write about a lot of things and I'm happy you're here to read it!
A few of my favorite things to be thankful for this year.
My friends. Miss Nina Boosalis woke up at 6 a.m. to do the St. Jude Give Thanks Walk with me last Saturday. She is wonderful, as are my other friends.
My family, especially my Poppa whose health is improving every day.
My dog because he's adorable and weird but makes everyone happy (except maybe my dad).
Vera Bradley. It makes me happy and I love working there.
Cupcakes. They give me something to do and share with pretty much anyone who will eat them.
Volunteering. I am thankful to have the plethora of opportunities to help others in our community like Tuesday night when we fit 330 homeless men and women of Minneapolis with new shoes/boots for the winter. I know I have a lot to be thankful for so I try to give back as much as I can.
2. Can we talk about this cake? Because holy crap. Ombre cake = going on my list of things to do before I turn 25.
3. Having an easy night out with friends and doing something out of the ordinary (we played pool and watched the UFC fight)
4. Watching my pup frolic in the snow. It's the only time he'll go outside alone. Here is a picture of him wearing the sweet tie I bought him yesterday.
5. My dad just pointed this video out to me. Jelly beans.
1. I'm obsessed (well, maybe not obsessed) with white teeth. I've tried every teeth whitening toothpaste out there and I'm still not happy with the results. I'm not sure what I'm expecting my teeth to look like but I'm hoping someday I'll know.
2. I love music with a beat like this (one you can dance to, though I'm not a big dancer), regardless of the lyrics. Mostly, I love Pitbull. This new song is not really feminist friendly (they rarely are) but I love it.
3. I just found a house I want to buy. I know nothing about homes and money but I love it. I keep coming up with things that I would consider to make me stay here instead of going to grad school. I have low expectations for school and am hoping I am proved wrong and someone wants me.
4. I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Nevermind how it came about, I think its important to take time every year to reflect on the things and people that you are thankful for. I read an idea somewhere to send thank you cards to people who have made a difference in your life over the past year- why I've never thought of this before, I don't know. I'm excited to send some thank you cards.
5. I hate watching game shows all day at work but ever since I've been watching Deal or No Deal, I really want to be one of those "Deal or No Deal" models. Its a weird thing to want to be. They get to wear pretty dresses.
