A Week Off in Photos...

So I had the week off this week, and it basically consisted of food, shopping, sunshine and getting back on the grind. It was super great to have a chance to relax - so here it is, my week in photos....

After two months of being kind of lazy on not really exercising like my usual old self, I decided to take this week to get back on the grind which consisted of Yoga and Running every day....

 

And because I was exercising so much I of course had deliciousness to balance it out...

I also made sure to take a day to visit the girls over at Gypsy Warrior, I've shared their great clothes and jewelry here before, so it only made sense to stop by this week....

I made off with TONS of magical goodies

The head band

Love the studded pockets on these jean shorts

The rest of the week consisted of laying out in the sunshine with cool people and friend time

Overall it was a great week and I'm so glad I got to take time and chill out. Now to get ready for Monday!!! First day on the new job cannot wait - look for an update tomorrow.

I'm Back and Better Than Ever

So I realize I have been MIA for oh a month (I know I suck - apologies) I've had a lot going on these past 4 weeks, that I really could not discuss until now. Let's some it all up though shall we, the things I could and couldn't discuss this past month....

The Black Keys <3

At Madison Square Garden

My friends and I went to go see the Black Keys last month and they were AMAZING. They are one of the bands that I have never seen live, and I'm so so so happy I went it was great!

The Hunger Games

In IMax Opening Weekend.... Yes that is right my friends and I went to see the 11:55am showing on Saturday opening weekend and here is my review: THANK GOD THEY MADE IT A MOVIE. While they could have focused more on my beloved Peeta, it was a great set up of what is to come. The theater was packed. We arrived an hour early and already had to wait in a line to get in, thank God we already purchased the tickets.

Friend Time <33

I don't have a photo... and even if I did I couldn't post it, because I know she wouldn't want me to, but my best friend Lauren, who's wedding I get to be a part of this coming October, took us bridesmaids dress shopping. I think in RECORD time, we found theee bridesmaid dress in under 30 minutes. Quite a feat for 5 girls to do if you ask me. I was prepared for days of shopping but hey we know what we like. It was a super fun day and the lovely bride took us out for lunch afterwards... It's going to be a great wedding!!

Last but not least.... I will be starting a new job next week!!

I recently left my job, which was bittersweet because I loved the people I worked with, but like they say when it's time it's time. So I'm happy/excited to say that this Monday I will be starting at VaynerMedia... check them out!!!

So that isn't everything, I mean its hard to some up 4 weeks, but those are the highlights! Don't worry I promise that I'll be posting regularly so I don't have to do these roundups anymore.

My 24 Year Old To Do List

I'm a big list maker, all kinds of lists, grocery lists, closet lists (things I want to/need to add to my closet), to do lists and life lists. Yes I'm sure you didn't realize that there were so many types of lists that one could make, but I'm here to shed light on the issue for you. 

Me in my pajamas with my notebook of lists. Yes Owls. Yes you're jealous.

So anyway lists... each new year I make a resolution lists of sorts, it usually has like two things on it: exercise and some other lame thing. This year I decided to make a "Year of 24 List." While most people decide to have a quarter life crisis type episode at 25 I like to do things early and ya know hit the ground running. I have 3 friends who just got engaged, a number of friends who just started amazing jobs that they love, even more friends moving to these amazing places, and just well I know a lot of people doing a lot of things, and thus the "Year of 24 List."

This is not to say I haven't accomplished anything in life yet... I moved to NYC, I landed a great job, and have made a ton of GREAT new friends. Yes great things have happened to me over the past few years, but I feel like I want to push myself even further. Now I don't want to mislead you I haven't created a list of these HUGE LIFE ALTERING THINGS that I want to happen to me, it's more a bunch of little things that I would like to incorporate into my life over this upcoming year to make me a little happier. 

You say so what, I say no one asked you... these little things which will cause me happiness and happy people always attract greatness. That is a fact, TRY and disprove it. Now I won't share the whole list with you but here are a few highlights....

• Buy one album per week - Yes I love music but I also don't really purchase it anymore I want to expand my I actually own this collection. Music makes me happy
• Take more photos - in college it was super cool like you had to take hundreds of pics every night to document all these great moments with your friends. When did this stop. I want photos to remember all my great city adventures will all my fabulous friends. Need to bring this back.
• Budget Money Better - I have a shoe problem, yes I know its a problem. All the money I could possibly save goes to shoes. I need to cut back. The pictures below do not include under my bed and or under my desk at my office... WOOPS.

This is not even close to half of my collection 

Still not even close...

• Be Open to Possibilities - I tend to have a very particular picture of how my life will turn out in my head. This picture tends to get in the way of letting other things happen because well what's the point right if they aren't in that end picture. This is a bad habit and needs to stop.
• Get Inspired - I know this is uber general but I haven't had something inspire me in a super long time and I would love to find something that could do this.

Anyway that's a mini snap shot into my mind/list making/craziness. I hope you stick around to see how it all turns out.

This is My Life - Monday through Friday

Okay well maybe not Friday but definitely Monday through Thursday this has become my life...

At home drinking tea, painting my nails, answering emails, and of course blogging my life away at the ripe old age of 24... When did this happen? When did I become a grown up?

IS IT FRIDAY YET?
