friday five

It’s one of those days where there’s a lot in my head and not really enough words. One of those days where so many different thoughts run rampant and it’s hard to chase them down with concrete syllables, vowels, or punctuation. And so, it’s time for a list post! Because it is Friday, and who doesn’t love a Friday? Even though the end of my vacation is drawing near, I’m still looking forward to this weekend.

So, here are some things I’m currently into and loving on this sunny winter Friday:

#1 – Protein Shakes in wine glasses. Because why not? This was actually started by accident the other day in NYC- Elle and I went to the gym near her apartment, came home, and made a protein shake with berries, almond milk, and oats. With most of her glasses in the dishwasher, she decided to pour our protein shakes into wine glasses and we instantly felt super classy. Of course, this classiness was probably counteracted by the episode of Real Housewives on in the background, but that’s neither here nor there.

#2 – White Persian kittens (like Mercy Kardashian). Ok, so I confess- my curent desire for a white Persian kitteh is all because of a Kardashian rerun the other day, but who cares when something is that cute?! I want to get a cat so badly, and I think I would fall into a cute overload coma if I had that little white fluffball to snuggle with on the daily. Le sigh.

#3 – Glitter ombre nails (photo via pinterest). I love this trend – I think the glitter on the tips of the nails are so feminine and sweet. While in Sephora the other day, I attempted an accent nail of the same style but ended up messing it up so that the glitter covered the entirety of my nail. Regardless, who doesn’t love a little glitter to brighten the day?

#4 – Vitamin Water Zero. I’ve always liked Vitamin Water but am not a big fan of drinking calories (unless the liquid in question is a protein shake. Or a frappuccino, let’s be honest.) I never drink soda and I try to stay away from diet products containing artificial sweeteners. Lately I’ve been on a stevia kick, (and I’m really hoping that there aren’t any medical studies that reveal that stevia is actually a cancer-laden powder or something that will turn me into a mutant rat.) Enter Vitamin Water Zero, sweetened with stevia, aka my new best friend.

#5 – Disney princesses. Fun fact about me – after college, I auditioned in NYC to work at Disney World. I made it through a couple of rounds but I suspect that my head might have been too big or something (they are pretty intense about measurements, dress sizes, wig sizes, etc.) I’ve always been totally in love with Disney, and have been campaigning for a while to go on a trip there with my boyfriend. The other night, I was browsing facebook photos from a friend’s recent trip to Disney and it’s completely re-triggered my desire to go. And if I can’t be a Disney princess, then maybe at least I can ride Splash Mountain and get my picture taken with Mickey? (Boyfriend, I hope you are reading this.)

Lastly, as a bonus–

This has nothing to do with anything, but I saw it on Pinterest and it made me choke on my coffee a little, so I thought I’d share.

Last but certainly not least, a friendly reminder that today is the LAST day to enter my Health & Beauty giveaway if you haven’t already done so!!!! Click here to do it.
