Hey guys, just thought I was pop in and do a life update chat-type post where I just ramble a little.
It's amazing how sometimes I have so much blog content swirling around in my head and in the background and other times I let a day or two pass before I post. I hate not posting on Monday through Friday, but sometimes I just can't come up with anything relevant or worth sharing.
So I just found out that the condo I purchased a year ago--see this video for how excited I was, and still am--has been pushed back, unfortunately. I guess they have not sold enough units yet so instead of being ready in November 2014, it is now June 2015. Ugh. That is two more years that I really didn't anticipate staying living where I'm living now.
While I love my apartment and the location, it is lacking a few things, namely a dishwasher and in-unit laundry. I can deal with having shoes scattered in all areas and that fact that half of my dining room is actually part closet, but I'm getting really sick of doing dishes by hand and lugging laundry down to the basement. I know, I know, #firstworldproblems.
When I was condo hunting last Spring/Summer, I almost bought a condo without a dishwasher. What a mistake that would have been. I really hate doing dishes and since I've been doing them by hand for almost two years now, my patience is wearing thin. I know this may seem trivial to some, and you may wonder how many dishes can one person make? A lot. That's how many, a lot. I cook at home all the time, and in turn produce tons of dishes, add that to lunch travel dishes and shaker cups and Magic Bullet canisters and lids... it's a lot you guys. It's annoying.
So I'm in a transition period in my mind. Do I pull out of the condo and look for something else? I'm not even sure I can, I have to read my terms and conditions to be certain. If I can, do I look for a condo that's ready? When I purchased my car five months ago, I was kind of on a two-year plan to pay it off before I moved to be more financial secure (which means I'm literally paying out the ass for it every month, but, I love it and it was a sacrafice I was willing to make). That would change things if I moved and I would like to own something as I've been renting for almost two years and while it's fine, am I going to continue to do so when I could be building equity instead with the means I have? And on that note, perhaps I should just leave my deposit in the condo and sell it when it's finally ready and hopefully make some money... but on the flip side, am unable to purchase anything else as my money is tied up.
All thoughts just swirling in my head right now and while I'm not quite ready to make a decision, or a move--literally--I'm thinking about it, the future and various other factors and things.
That's pretty much it for now; as always, thanks for reading <3>

I have never given a second thought as to exposing my toes at work, despite knowing it used to be a faux pas.
I personally think that it is completely acceptable now in a business casual environment. What made me think twice about this was seeing a woman's gross looking, unpolished toes in the bathroom stall next to me the other day. Ick.
I think there is something to be said about feet that aren't taken care of and in my personal opinion, those feet and toes should not be exposed. Ain't nobody got time--or the stomach--for that (at work).
Agree or disagree? What are your thoughts?
All of the photos above are outfits and shoes I've worn to work. I noticed recently that I actually own more toe-exposing shoes than not... This was of course noticed on a day where my feet were not up to par and I need to keep them hidden until I had time to give myself a pedi!
Thanks for your comments & suggestions for Let's Chat, I'm going to keep the series and would love use your suggestions in the coming weeks. If you have a topic suggestion, please leave it below. Thanks for reading and your support, love you guys!
I screwed up! I thought I had 50 facts and ended up with 47...?! What tha whaaaaaaa. Ugh. Sorry about that guys but I didn't want to get re-dressed and film and import and edit, and blah, blah, blah!
Here are two more facts:
* I love milk & recently switched over to Almond Milk exclusively.
* I'm going to be an aunt any day now for the first time! :D
I also vlog for my local mall. Check out my videos on their channel HERE.
Outfit deets:
* Jacob cardigan (old).
* H&M strappy tank (old) which you've seen with a pencil skirt & circle vest.
* Smart Set cami underneath.
* Guess denim pants (last summer) which you've seen one summer night last year.
* Asos 'Hong Kong' heels which I'm obsessed with & showed in my last haul video. They aren't as comfy/soft as my Zara ones, but they aren't too bad.
* Accessories: Michael Kors watch, Le Chateau cuff, F21 necklace & Gucci shades.
Happy Tuesday everyone! How is your week going?
Last night I was super productive and got my laundry done and some dishes, I photographed this outfit, edited the photos, filmed a video and edited it and relaxed. Definitely a needed me-night to get some stuff done after a busy and fun weekend.
I'm already counting the days to this coming weekend--do you guys do that too?--as there is a big party on Saturday night happening which should be a great time. I'm debating if I should try to make ice cream with my ice cream maker... but then again, would that really be a good party food?
I also wanted to ask you guys if we should continue with the Let's Chat posts? I didn't put one up last week and no one asked, and we've done so many I'm having a hard time coming up with some. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear 'em!
Hope you have a great day.
Everyone asks me about this iPhone 5 case, touches it and tells me, 'That thing is like a weapon!'. I bought mine on eBay and you can get your own HERE (cheaper than I paid, too!). I also showed this case--and three others--in my iPhone 5 Case Haul video.
This weekend was so wonderful; I took Friday off to make it a long weekend--sorry for the radio silence--ate great food, hung out with friends, slept in, got my hair done, saw Cirque du Soleil and more! Since this is a lengthy recap I'm going to put the majority of the pictures after the jump further below...
Thursday evening driving home from work; sunlight and the start to my weekend.
My new MacBook Pro sleeve/case arrived in the mail so I gave it a try; a perfect fit! I'm pretty excited as now I can take my laptop with me when I go somewhere. This is an 'Incase' sleeve, like the ones they sell at the Apple store but I purchased mine off eBay, brand new, for half the price. It was shipping from the US so it took less than a week to arrive, which was awesome.
On Friday morning I put my culinary skills to the test and whipped up this awesome breakfast inspired by LoveMaegan's breakfast post.
This was my first time making poached eggs and they turned out pretty well. I also substituted asparagus and threw in some turkey bacon & whole grain toast (this is my boyfriend's plate, I only had half of a slice of toast; read about my Gluten-free diet/lifestyle ish HERE).
On Friday afternoon the man and I hit the gym and I did box jumps for the first time.
Scary and difficult but I loved how I felt afterwards; proud and accomplished!
Lots more photos after the jump...
