More things that make me naturally happy


I have a GAP obsession, I absolutely love going into the store and seeing all the new fashions (whether they look good on me or not). I don't spend a lot of money in the store, but I don't need to, I love going into the store just to browse. Plus I remember things that I like and then look for them at the outlet a few months later because they are usually a lot cheaper.
Caramel Apple Spice Cider from starbucks, the smell gets my mouth watering and that first sip is like heaven on earth. If I could have one of these everyday without it costing me a lot of money I would for sure.

It's Official: Adult life has truly begun


It's official I'm an adult. I started my first true "grown up" job on July 7th, 2011. I work 40 hours 5 days a week and what grown up job wouldn't be official if it didn't have a commute (1 hour 15 minute one way just in case you were wondering). As a result of my grown up job I have come to appreciate my weekends (though this is only my second weekend). There's so much I have to get used to now that I have a stable job and my mind gets so wrapped up in trying to remember every piece of information I'm being taught at work that weekends are the time to let my brain take a vacation. My friend Amy is doing a blog called Friday Highs, that talks about the things in life that we truly love and give us those natural highs and that we take for granted many times. Now that I'm working all the time it's hard for me to stop and smell the roses I guess you could say. Therefore, I'm going to do a similar blog to hers that helps me keep track of the things that give me that natural high and that I take for granted. Here is my first of many things that I appreciate but take for granted:

The way my face feels after washing it at night. It's just a cool refreshing feeling that I love.
Currently I am using Burt's Bees Deep Cleansing Cream with Soap Bark and Chamomile and it's amazing. I'm also using a 5 minute warming mineral mask from the Body shop when I feel the need to have a spa like facial.
