Snippets

In the midst of all of this scholarship application business I have tried to make sometime for some "me" time. I realized that since all the chaos started in January I gradually started losing my commitment with weightloss, a healthy lifestyle, and well...myself. And in the need for some balance I decided I needed to take some time to do this for myself.

I've restarted Zumba and Yoga. YouTube has been the most helpful tool EVER! Go YT! I follow Yoga with Adriene and Bad Yogi for my yoga practice. Both woman are insanely motivational and down to earth. I love that Adriene's motto is "do what feels good". It especially helps on those days when I stumble through a simple flow. For Zumba I don't particularly follow anyone. I just look for full length classes and find something that fits my mood. I find that even if I don't like the initial routine I end up getting into the groove of the class. If I absolutely cannot then I just switch to another video.

I've also started doing more everyday make up. Ever since I started this "office" job as a graphic designer I felt like I needed to spruce up my look. I still only use a few products but I after watching Tanya Burr, Zoella, Alli Trippy, and various others on YouTube I realized I was using the products in the wrong way. Well maybe not completely but I can now do a lot more with the same things. I've learned new techniques and I've picked up a few things on skin care. Maybe I'll do a post on this at some point.

Ha! I never thought I'd like make up...on me! I've always wanted to be a makeup artist. Ever since I discovered the Benefit counter at Marshall Fields way back in the day. Still I don't feel like I've lost any integrity. I dunno...
