Its been said that your first thought or instinct is your best instinct; and your gut feeling is almost always right. Now this can be used in many different contexts such as- work, school ( on tests or what not), friendships and boyfriends/girlfriends. You maybe asking yourself the question, "Where does this fit in with anything?" Well my answer is everything.
Lately I've found myself uncertain as to who I am becoming so instead I've decided to go by the seat of my pants and let love guide me. Let my heart take the reigns for once and let my mind take a little break. My love life is definitely one for the books. Trust me I will bring up stories about the "infinant exes". But for now I am focusing my attentions towards Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome, he's my last beau, our relationship lasted for three years. Long story short I was put on the back burner for a while as he decides how he plans to live his Senior year. Yes, its kills me has left me devistated but this is just the beginning episode to a long season of drama, make-ups and scandelous hook ups.
On a happier note, autumn is now upon us which means bring out those Moccs, sweaters, scarves and comfy jeans. This autumn season, to go with my everyday style which is a comfy casual modern lets go snowboarding and sit by the fire kind of look. I've found myself at The Gap almost every weekend looking for new sweaters and long sleeve shirts. I'm currently looking for new jeans. To me jeans are the base of a great outfit, they have to be the perfect fit, be comfortable and make your butt look really cute.
Over the years I normally went to Hollister for my jeans because I may be thin but I have an atheletic curvy figure and I need jeans that can make my curves look flattering and not fat. I absolutely despise it when jeans make girls look like muffin tops just because it's a wrong fit for them. So to not break the bank, try going to Plato's Closet they have lightly used name brands that are sold for reasonable prices. Personally, I'd rather go to Abercrombie & Fitch or wherever to get my jeans but when I have no cash, what can I say. Trust me no one will ever know either. It can be your little secret.
As for the stylish fall food trends...
For Breakfast: Try having a bowl of oatmeal with vanilla protein and a little brown sugar add a small bowl of fresh fruit to leave a warm sweet kick to your morning. Or maybe a cinnamon raisin bagel with low fat cream cheese and a glass of OJ or Skim milk.
Lunch: How about a salad with mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, almonds (which I unfortunately can't eat due to my nut allergy) grilled chicken and a maple balsamic dressing. Yummy right?
Snack Time: Try some low carb Kashi crackers with cheddar cheese or trail mix, or if you want something sweet, have a cup of yogurt with flax seed oil and some granola.
Dinner- To balance out your healthy day add some protein by having grilled shrimp on top of whole wheat rice and mixed greens.
Dessert Anyone?-
Splurge a little and treat yourself to a cup of Pumpkin spiced latte from Starbucks or Pumkin Cheese cake from The Olive Garden.
*It's a known fact that if you have one bowl of oatmeal before bed it helps you ease your mind and go to sleep better.
Thanks for reading everyone. I am planning on posting again soon.
