I'm alive! - My weekly recap

Dear readers,

It's been a whole week that I officially blogged. Luckily, my sweet friend Sierra from Ocean Dreams spontaneously asked me if she could guest post and hey, I hardly ever say no to that. Maybe she saw how lonely my blog looked. Maybe she could read my mind, too.

Either way, thank you girl for helping me out and writing about one of my favorite things. I love being a teenager...eh...okay, I'm not but I still love those shows!

Hope you all had a great week.

Mine was busy. School was being a little b***h but we got Thursday's class cancelled so that's always nice.

On a very bright note I enjoyed one of the best skype dates with a dear friend and her children. Can't wait to see and hug them all again. Not to mention all my other friends and family. I'm counting down the days it's not even funny anymore!

Wednesday and Thursday were and probably today are birthday celebration days. Why do people around me celebrate birthdays all at the same time?! Ha, I enjoy it though. It's always nice to meet new people or see familiar faces again. We gotta live life...it's just way too short.

Tomorrow I'm headed for the movie theater...that is, if nothing comes between our plans. And it's worth going because we'd be getting extra credit for a class...if going to the movies would always get me extra credit I'd be super happy about that!

And next week (I can't believe it) I'm going to be having so much *running* fun with Leeann from Join The Gossip, Meg from Henning Love and Marjan from LocalLiving in Orange County. And I think I am gonna see a few more "familiar" faces that day. It'll be fun!

April, so far you are giving me reasons to laugh again.
Thank you.

Have a great weekend....

xoxo

Sucked Into {The Vampire Diaries} and Elena's Style

Hello - this is Ocean Dreams, aka Sierra taking over Selma's blog again. :)

Suncravingirl knows more than anyone right now how obsessed I am with The Vampire Diaries. Since I just started watching this show a few days ago (I'm starting with season 1), I'm embarrassed to say that I'm almost half way through the first season and it's only been a few days! It's that good.

But besides the amazing guy eye candy and can't-stop-watching aka keep-my-eyes-off-of the TV screen hypnosis I've been in, I've also been noticing the amazing fashion on this show. Isn't it fun hyper-analyzing each character's fashion preference and how it fits their personality? I think it is.

Which brings me to Elena. Her style is very much my style, except my clothing is a little bit brighter. Where we share a commonality in fashion though, is in her casual approach to wearing clothing. I can see her wearing a lot of the clothing on the site Damart. She loves wear jeans, flats, Converse sneakers, leather and bomber jackets, and darker shirt colors (like purple and red), that I think showcase her secret love for vampires. {Isn't she lucky that she gets Damon and Stefan all to herself?!} I'm jealous.

But anyway...Elena's choice of colors also complement her lovely complexion and dark brown hair. If I could dress Elena with similar elements and clothing that look similar to what I've been seeing on The Vampire Diaries (and remember I'm only in the first season), this is what I would pick for her to wear:

{ Free People Danger Top }

{ Splendid Thermal Henley }

{ Joe's Jeans Provocateur Petite }

{ Trench Coat - I think Elena needs one in red

to give herself a break from her leather jackets. }

{ Converse Shoes in Red }

{ Elena's Necklace via Kaboodle }

So what do you think of Elana's style? I think she could use some glitz now and again but other than that I love her style. From her Converse shoes to her dark thermals, Elena is ready to run from danger at a moment's notice. That is - when her handsome vamps aren't fiercely protecting her. I can't wait to watch more!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone.
The past week has been a bit of a chaotic one...emotionally, physically, and mentally.

Today I decided I'd be doing something like Krysten does every Friday: creating my own Happy Friday list!

It won't be something I'd be doing on a weekly basis.
It'll be more something I'd work on when I have to remind myself to be and stay happy.

1. One Tree Hill and its finale (happy and sad at the same time)

2. Vanilla Soy Lattes

3. Temperatures in the mid 70's

4. BBQ's

5. Birds chirping

6. Bath and Body Works

7. Easter decoration

8. The blogger/twitter community

9. Zumba

10. 6 more weeks of school

Hope you're having a fabulous Easter weekend!

Any fun plans?!
I hope so!

xoxo

 

I'm sweating!

Everyone.

Believe it or not, I hate going to the gym.

I even hate running, and literally monotone working out is not my thing. I also don't want to wake up at 5 just so I can squeeze in some work out in the morning. I can't do that. Kudos to those that can, but it's not for me.

I have found what's for me. Besides my walking...I am totally into Zumba!

For years I wanted to go. No one wanted to, and if I simply couldn't afford going.

Flash forward to California! ;) My lovely state!

It just so happens that where we live we have a gym, and the gym is free. And so are classes they offer, and well, Zumba is offered. I so did not say no to that. Would you?

So ever since it started I've been going and it's been fun.

Yes, I happen to look ridiculous at times, but it's not about looking good or showing off your dance moves, it's about having fun and eventually also get in shape. And OH BOY my body is adjusting. In a good way. I can see and feel results already. That's how impressed I am. And even though she may not want to hear this, but I can see results in my friend too.

Oh, and the instructor is amazing.

We even try to follow her classes and find her all over the city - she's that good!

And yes, I'm sweating.

A lot more than when I went to the gym. It's that good.

So, if you're like me, and you hate working out...I'd recommend it.

I also heard Fitness studios offer it too, so if you're a member and it's offered...why not give it a try.

Mondays and Wednesdays have become my favorite evenings now!

Hope your week has been fun so far.

Ready for the Easter Bunny?!

Man Candy Monday

It's Man Candy Monday time.

I'm so busy, and lazy at the same time that I could not come up with a HOT dude for Monday.

But hey, guess what I found one (I blame it on all those previews I've been seeing on TV and elsewhere!)!!

And Leeann, we do have the same taste here! LOL 

Yes, that means I'm still linking up with Leeann, even though we have the same guy today!

He's definitely grown up!

He's just too young, but hey, never hurt to look at him!

Hope you're having a fantastic day!!

Don't forget to link up with Leeann and her MCM fun!
