I Love a Sale

So my favorite store in the history of EVER, Nordstrom, is having their huge massive Anniversary sale right now and you are literally cray if you don't run over and buy this stuff. It's amazing.  Beyond amazing to be exact.  I got these new shoes:

Nike shoes are prettyyyyy much my new addiction.  I wanna buy them all! Tennis shoes are so fun and I live in them for working out/day to day stuff.  Seriously. If I'm not at work I am in workout clothes and tennis shoes, legit.  Maybe cause looking good and super put together is such a huge part of my job so when I'm off I'm like naaah not putting any effort in today.  Leggings and tennis shoes and thats it, I'm done.

I've been crazzzyyyy obsessed with Pinterest lately.  I pretty much just discovered it and its addicting and so much fun.  So I'm off to pin more for tonight.  I'm moving soon so I've been pinterest crazy looking for cute decorating ideas!

Gaming is Hard and Other Things

So I bought myself an Xbox 360 yesterday.  Yes, yes, I know the Xbox One is out and all but I decided not to buy it because its pretty expensive and I wanna make sure I actually like playing video games before I invest quiteeee that much into a system.  And so far gaming basically makes me want to tear my hair out.  So yeah.  There's that.  Like I literally just spent 30 minutes watching youtube tutorials on how to play FIFA.  Because that shits hard. Gaming is hard. Everything is hard. Games should be easy. And yeah.

My life has been alllll about work lately which is fine and cool, but its kinda stressing me out.  I love my job and I love my coworkers but I don't love working late at night.  At all.  And I don't always work nights but when I do I dread it.  Like tomorrow I start at 8 which is soooo much more my jam.  I love waking up early and going to work and then getting back at like 6ish and having all night to do stuff. I try valiently hard to wake up early every day but if I don't have something pressing I need to be up for...it probably isn't going to happen. Which is why starting work at 8 or 9 am makes me a happier person!  Well that plus coffee.  Coffee makes everything better.

I also just bought this curling iron called the Sarah Potempa beach waver.  I am OBSESSED with it.  It works so well.  I am the worst at curling my hair.  I don't know what it is...I've watched like a million tutorials and had people teach me and I just. Cannot. Do. It.  I don't know why I just cannot figure out how to wrap it and twist it and make the curl look good.  My curls looked horrifying when I did it myself in the past.  Absolutely horrendous.  So I like didn't ever curl my hair which is totally sad because I love curly hair.  The only time I had curly hair was when I had it done at a salon (which was like never) or when my friend Alex did it for me which was also rare because it took a while and I'm kinda a pain in the ass when people are curling my hair and sorta extremely critical.  Like everytime Alex did my hair she probably threatened to stop/burn me/burn my hair off like every 5 minutes if I didn't shut up lol.  But this beachwaver is so easy.  It like twists automatically and makes perfect curls.  I've only used it once so far and it kinda took a while but I'm super excited to keep using it and get better at it and have gorgeous curly hair all the time.

Now I'm off to watch some Keeping Up with the Kardashians (my guilty pleasure) before going to sleeeeeep.  Kourtney is my fav. That's all. Good night.

So Much New Stuff

This past week/week and a half has been so nutty.  I moved out my apartment into a temporary sublet.  It's not even funny how much I miss my old place.  Don't get me wrong the new apartment is nice and has AIR CONDITIONING (hallelujah!) but I miss the comfort of my old place.  I lived there for two years and it just felt like it was mine, ya know?  And I can't help but miss it.  It was so nice and comfortable and I was so used to it and this place is new and unfamilar and since its just a sublet it doesn't feel like mine and it's not decorated.  In fact all my stuff is pretty much in boxes and bags still which is super fun.  Obviously I love that so much...not.

I had to move out in a major hurry because I had to fly home when my aunt passed away unexpectedly.  She was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and had a freak allergic reaction to the chemotherapy she was starting and instantly went into cardiac arrest.  I'm still devasted and in complete shock by it.  I was very, very close to her and it's just so hard to take in and accept still.  I think it still almost doesn't feel real to me that she's gone.  Life is sad sometimes but I have to look at the brightside and at least she didn't have to suffer long with the pain that is lung cancer.  I think it's good to try and find a silver lining in everything and that's my silver lining in her case at least.  She's free from suffering.

I also started a new job...eeeeek!  It's just temporary for now but I'm working as a salesperson for a company I love and adore.  I have a bit of a commute to Santa Monica but it's so worth it.  I love my department and my coworkers so far and it's just a fun and great environment to be in.  Although I want to spend all of my paycheck there which is soooo not good.  Actually today, super awkward, I was helping someone with some sunglasses and he put them on hold and then later came back but I was busy and couldn't help him.  I just happened to walk by for a second though and saw him and was like "oh great, you came back for your sunnies" and then did a total double take like OMG I did not just say "sunnies" in front of this like 40 year old man who am I???  And it was awkward and I made an awkward joke about loving abbreviations and then slunk away embarrassed.  Because I do.  Love abbreviations that is.  I abbreviate literally everything.  My friends make fun of me for it but I think they secretly love it.  It's just so fun and I get a kick out of it.  And it's become second nature now for me to say "sunnies" or "tots" or "whatevs".  It's just how I speak now.  And I think little quirks are funny and cute anyways so who cares.

Anddddd now I'm off to finish this episode of Chuck which I've been marathoning through because I'm obsessed with this show.  It's so freaking good.  If you don't watch it, check check check it out cause it's amazeballs.  And pass out.  Cause I had the brilliant idea to wear my Rag & Bone booties alllll day at work today and my feet are sorta killing me and I had a super long day so I'm about ready to PTFO!
