happy weekend! (aaaannnnd I'm back!)

Hello, blog world! I'm back and ready to blog about so much stuff! Whenever I think about blogging, I always think But I don't have anything to say. I don't DO anything special or fun worth sharing. The same thing happens when I think about writing an email to my parents. Then I think about my sister's advice and decide to write about something. Anything!

So what have I been doing that's not-so-special-or-fun lately? Well, the first thing-- other than work; that's boring-- is YOGA. And not just any yoga, Bikram Yoga (aka hot yoga). I started going at the end of August after purchasing a Living Social coupon and instantly became obsessed.

What is Bikram yoga? It's a 90 minute class with 26 postures that are each done twice. But there's a catch-- it's a 90 minute class with 26 postures that are done in a 105 degree room with 40% humidity? Hot? Yes. Completely amazing and totally worth it? Absolutely!

Why do I love it so much? I love that yoga is easy on my joints, but still gives me an awesome work out. It helps me with flexibility and spine strengthening (as well as strengthening in general). It's designed to do every day, and I take full advantage of that. :) And it's a guaranteed 90 minutes break from all technology. (We're only allowed to take our mat and water bottle in the studio.) For a girl who sits in front of a computer most of the day, this is wonderful.

So what does the picture above have to do with yoga? This weekend the local Bikram studio is celebrating its two year anniversary, and they're offering so much stuff! Last night I attended Glowga, or black light Bikram. Everyone was given glow sticks and flashing rings to put on. There were black lights, a DJ playing music, and we all just moved through the postures together. It was so fun! Plus, on top of the free classes this weekend, they're doing a free posture clinic tomorrow that I will attend to learn more about the postures. Oh, I also signed up for the thirty day challenge which means I'm going to try to do 30 classes in 30 days.

So if you don't hear from me for another 30 days, just know it's because of yoga. ;)

See? I told you I'm obsessed!

Happy Saturday!

confession

Wednesday night after class I may or may not have gone to cvs to get peppermints. AND they were on sale 3 for $3 if you had a cvs card. I didn't have one. so I got one-- held up the line and everything. and I didn't think anything of it, because I got my peppermints. and this? this is the only bag left. and four from the second bag. 

what can I say? I love peppermints.

one of the best days of my life, ever.

was last friday when I found prada pants at goodwill. PRADA. PANTS. did you get that? PRADA. for $3.79. I thought I died and went to heaven. granted they're dry clean only but does it look like I care?! they are worth every penny because oh. em. gee. I'm in love. 

oh. and they're red. which makes them better if that's even possible.

I've missed this guy.

and this is how I feel about packing

thank you roommate.

I'm so trendy.

I'm not dead! although I came pretty close. I've just been dead in the blogging world because to be honest, my camera died and I wanted a break from documenting everything. maybe soon I'll do an update post. maybe. when I don't have five papers to write and a million other things to do. but as for now I thought I would let you know that I have a new obsession: Lipton Diet Green Tea. I randomly picked it up yesterday because I was out of water and didn't want to have chai or a smoothie (I'm on a health kick too. it's not very fun but worth it). and since picking it up yesterday afternoon, I've since had oooh, about four bottles or so. it's SO good. not only that, but it makes me feel cool and trendy not gonna lie.

I never turn down a triple dog dare...

...which is why I was standing in my school's murky, creepy, gross pond at 10:30 tonight.

but I also got to twirl in the rain. and jump around in puddles. and hang out with my lovely friends and eat lots of cookies.

have I mentioned that I love my life?

because I do. I really really do.
