Nudes or GTFO.

I'm all about "teh n00dz" this season. I mean I love nude clothing, nude shoes and most of all... nude make up! I've recently become very obsessed with Revlon's new colorburst lipsticks and all their shades are so pigmented and rich and creamy. I currently own four of their lipsticks but these three are my favorite nude colors currently. My other one is "Baby Pink" which is a very pretty light pink but not quite in the same category as these three.

Car hunting.

I've been flirting with the idea of signing for a new car for a while now. I almost made the mistake of signing for a Honda Civic a few months back and now I am SO glad that I didn't sign like I wanted to. I was SO totally getting ripped off!! I'm thanking my sweet stars that I didn't let my impulsiveness get the best of me and that my mom was actually with me because God knows I would've dove into that mess haha. For a while I was OBSESSED with the Honda Civic. All black, coupe or sedan, 2008 and up. Seriously obsessed. But now I've found a new obsession...

I need this white girl in my life!

The Nissan Altima in pearl white. I've never been a white car kind of girl but DAMN, this thing is sexy. The reason I want an Altima is because my cousin Henry has an Altima and it's literally a beautiful thing when it comes to gas mileage which is VERY important to me. I'm now working at Geico which is a ways away from my house and I don't want to be filling up my tank 2x a week just to get to work! I need a fuel friendly car and all arrows are pointing to this hot mama. Although ideally I would love a coupe, the price range for a coupe is a little too far out there for my pockets. Who would've thought something with LESS doors would cost more?! Haha, I'm kidding but yeah. Although I love the idea of "all black everything" I'm intrigued by the idea of a white whip. As for interior, I'm not picky although I think a white exterior would look like sex on wheels with a cream interior. That and I don't wanna burn my booty in the summer!! What car do you drive? Suggestions?

Music Friday.

Music Friday!

Thank God it's Friday. Every Friday I'm going to share a song that I've been obsessed with. When I get obsessed with a song I literally run it to the ground and replay it until I can't hear it anymore. Ha ha. This week's song is "Cleveland is the Reason" by Kid Cudi. I effin' love this song, it's so chill it literally makes me want to be driving down a highway on a hot summer day with the windows down, sunroof open.

On my mind this fine Thursday afternoon...

I was totally born in the wrong generation.
I cannot stop listening to Kid Cudi's "Cleveland is the Reason"
I partially blame it on this little girl.
I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE GYM!!! Realized 2 things: I'm terribly out of shape and I miss that post workout feeling. Back in January when I was in my workout frenzy I was still out of shape but I was NOT hurting after 25 minutes on the elliptical like I was today.
After much debate as to whether I should keep pushing myself or get off before I pass out I decided to get off. Back in January I felt really similar and decided to push until I felt like dying and then scared myself away from the gym.
I think I'm going to start Jillian Michaels today.
I need an everyday ring. Or an every other day ring.
I can't believe I put in my notice for Best Buy!!! I can't believe I have a new job!!!
I'm definitely going to see about signing for that new VEE DOT SIX. To quote Jay Z. But not really I just want a white Nissan Altima. 2008 and up preferably.
For the first time in a long time everything seems like it's looking up.
It's going to be a long 12 weeks.
If you read this, I love you.

YAY!

I HAVE A NEW JOB!!!!! NO MORE BEST BUY FOR ME!!!!!

After being a retail slave for the last (almost) 5 years of my life I'm finally putting my big girl shoes on and LEAVING retail... hopefully, FOR GOOD. After a year and a half at Best Buy I'm finally putting away the blue shirt and getting into some business casual attire. I just got hired as a Claims Representative at Geico. Will it be better? I don't know. Is it better paying? HECK YES! For the first time in a long time I finally feel like I'm progressing a little. I've been out of school for almost a year now and right when I'm beginning to feel desperate and useless I obtain a better paying job. I am so excited. Official start date? April 25th. Welcome to the rest of my life.

Fat Bitch.

These past few days have been hilariously great. Monday night my supervisor Lou, my coworker Ray and I decided it would be a great idea to drive down to Jersey to the grease trucks on the Rutgers campus to pick up some infamous "Fat Bitches" sandwiches. What a great/terrible idea. I definitely must've gained 20 lbs. just from that night alone! If you're unfamiliar with what a Fat Bitch is it's a philly cheesesteak with mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, french fries and ketchup all up in it. It's like a fat girl's dream (fat girl being me) but seriously after half of this baby I felt like I was going to EXPLODE. What a terrible idea, but at the same time it was also a great idea. After eating fat bitches we went to Wawa!! My favorite convenience store ever (so pissed there are none in New York) where we stocked up on some Wawa lemonade and iced tea and coffee and Now N' Laters and muffins and werewolf gummies and everything else we can fit in our little baskets. The only thing better than that night was the next morning waking up to a delicious banana nut muffin, lemonade and a Fat Bitch in the microwave for lunch. I love spontaneous nights.

Fat bitch!

Lou stocking up on some Wawa goodies, yum.

Amazing banana nut muffin from Wawa!

So after indulging in what could have been my most damaging meal ever I blew the dust off my Jillian Michaels' DVD and 3 lb. weights and decided to take on the 30 Day Shred Challenge. I'll post results here and my progress throughout. #teamworkthatassout!!!!!
