i had a glass of wine last night and a cup of joe today, so in just less than 2 weeks, my attempt to follow through with my new years resolution was a complete fail.. but in fairness, it wasn't really realistic.. i'll figure a new one out shortly.. but till then i get a bunch of emails on working out.. and this seems to be what most people are relentless about in the beginning of the year.. and mainly my workout routine is just a habit that hasn't changed since this post from 2 years ago, however, i have updated a few things like: - going to a nicer gym- it makes me feel good to work out around dedicated individuals, it's a lot more motivating
- new running shoes- this was my first purchase of sneakers in 10 years! (not even exaggerating--seeing that orange nike shoebox felt very new but strangely familiar)
- spin once a week and run the other days
- incorporate more protein, veggies and fruits to maintain a healthy diet
- and my playlist that shuffles, which is currently..
oh and btw- according to 2011, i'm no longer a capricorn :(
Everyday, I literally just wear blush and eyeliner but for going out, my staples are:
MAC studio moisture tint foundation, mineralize skin finish natural, blacktrack fluidline, graphblack technakohl eyeliner, charcoal brown shadow for brows, any mascara, pink swoon blush, love nectar lustreglass with a hint of full fuchsia lipstick
And if I want to amp it up more, i'll add on:
belightful, #7 lashes, and maybe change up my foundation to studio fix fluid
Being a former makeup artist for MAC Cosmetics, I've accumulated an enormous collection, including items that are still unopened. Since I can't use them all, I've saved my favorite limited edition products that I have no intention of ever using and the rest I've gifted to my girlfriends just to share the wealth.
in the past, when people asked me if i felt older on my birthday my response would always be: "no". thing is, i never really actually felt "different" until this year. My best friend Tomiko was pregnant on my birthday last year and this year my other best friend is now expecting. It's nice that more friends in my immediate circle are becoming mothers because now it's just another thing we all have in common and is another great thing we can share. It's interesting to see how we've evolved from going out soooo much to turning it down just a notch.. ok, almost all the way lol. I'll admit in 2010, I definitely slowed my roll and it's bittersweet.
We ended the night at
Infusion on a fun note and had an awesome time! There wasn't anything I could've wanted more.. VIP, bottle service, prime table in the center, a beautiful entourage, good music, good vibes and lots of good laughs- it was a sweet way to end the year right and remind me of how truly blessed i am to have the greatest friends ever.
Happy New Years everyone!
Here's to 2011!
Cheers!
hope everyone has a happy holidays!
