One of my favorite stress relievers is to go to a Barnes & Noble or Borders and stay there... forevvver. I love reading and usually tend to forget I do unless I go there or the library. But since the library doesn't necessarily have a relaxing connotation for me any more I opt for a book store.
Barnes & Noble is my FAVE because of all the big cushie chairs that your butt sinks into faster than a speeding bullet!!! BUT you totally have to race every one and their dog to an open chair, especially during the prime time hours. It's kinda like happy hour at the bar, cept it's kid friendly, alcohol free, and a hippie happy hot spot.
Well on my last trip I was looking for a Diet/Nutrition book that my mom had been talking to me about and I ran across these beauties. I almost died of laughter when I saw the first one, but the second find had me zig zagging through the aisles gasping for breathe. Maybe I was in a particularly good mood, I usually think anythings funny then, but I still find these books rather silly! I did find a couple books that I troughly enjoyed, so it wasn't a complete flop of a visit ;)
I actually got this way cool book that was ON SALE called "Yoga on The Go" It shows you how to do Yoga while your at the office, brushing your teeth, blow drying your hair, in the kitchen, at the grocery store. It's way cool, at least I think, since I've been trying to work on my yogi-ness. ONE day people I will be able to fold myself inside out and upside down like all my yoga instructors and all ya'll will be jealous of my crazy old lady yoga skillz ;) Hehe
So one of my co-workers just had her engagments taken & of course us girls were talking about all the different shots etc. from the take. This all lead me to try and find these engagement pictures (that I am absolutely in LOVE with, weird I know) of a couple in the bay taken a couple years ago by a super good photographer in the Sacramento area.
Sooooo I went to her blog which is now her website and COULDN'T FIND THEM since she had changed things up a bit.
BUT, praise alah, I located them and figured I'd post them to my blog since I am planning on taking engagements super soon (riiiiiight). Haha, but seriously, don't be suprised if my engagments end up looking like these... I mean if that ever happens. :0
Okay Ya’ll, it has been a while, but seriously you can’t come up with a list like this in one day!
Here is MY
“ If all men did these things they'd have EVERY woman in the room/world/universe swooning!” list, not in any particular order.
Gents if your doin’ everything on this list your probably married already (figures). But those of you who are not, take heed!
Numero Uno:Cuffed shirts with cuff links! Speechless!
2. Styled Hair!!! You don't have to bust out the flat iron, just try and look like you try & or switch it up a knotch every once in a while!
3. Bulking up.
I mean Tom Brady did marry the #1 super model in the world eeevvvvvveeeeeeerrr!
4. Motorcycles
Sooooo hott, want to touch the hiney (of the bike of course)!
P.S. A Ducati never hurts a thing!
5. A good sense of HUMOR!
6. ATTENTION!!! Make us feel like we are the only woman in the world (and yes, that includes undivided attention & actually listening & being nice).
7. Suspenders
Yes I just said suspenders. Believe you me... when worn right... Daaaaaaaang Gina!!!
8. Black rimmed glasses. I've always had a thing for that Verizon dude ;)
9. White teeth! I don't care who you are, a white shiny smile will always make you more attractive & maybe even more trust worthy. Haha I dunno, but i LIKE it! You can never go wrong with good dental hygiene.
10. Bright Tee shirts w/ a good tan & fries. Haha JK on the fries.
Hoooooly cow, if you know how to work it you will totally work this one. JUST DO IT!!!
11. Argyle Sweaters Enough said.
12. Plaid shorts.
They are probably the NUMBER one reason I love the summa time ;)
13. Sperry Topsiders...
14. Actually pulling off a pink shirt. And NOOOO not as in literally taking it off... just wearing it nicely ;)
15. Leather wrist band/bracelet. I'm not sure why I like it... just do.
16. Baseball caps! 17. Attractive work out clothes. Because seriously, we really don't want to see your arm pit hair or left overs from your house paint job at the gym.
18. Mad Slam Dunk Skillllllz! Weak in the knees, I may even pass out!!! ;)
19. Designer JEANS! You don't have to be a pansy and wear them allllll the time. But having a pair for important things is nice. Especially if your butt looks like that in them ;)
20. The LOOK.
So I couldn’t find a picture of this (sad I know), but the no socks vans look with khaki shorts & a bright green tee is pretty swell! Oh and don’t forget the smokin’ tan ;)
So that's it! Keep an eye out for list number two of the "Big No No's" hehe later.
I’ve been in this bipolar energy mood. One minute I want to run 5 miles and do all my H.W. (blasted HW!!!) in one night & the next I’m day dreaming of my oh so amazing comforter and user friendly mattress at home.
Can I just get a happy medium going here people? Like seriously, this is driving me crazy!!!
So I decided that whenever school gets me STRESSED I should just think of three things:
If you’ve never tried on a pair of these babies get on it! The day I pass my AART Exam I am going to go and buy a pair of these electric blue rockin’ shoes!!!
If you could go to work in your pajamas every day would you? This doesn’t apply to those who sleep nakie hehehe! Scrubs are pretty much amazing because they’re basically PJ’s that are available in many different colors and styles. Personally I’m going to be all about the Dickies brand or Vera Wangs exclusive line for the hottest in the field ;). Plan on seeing me in coordinating scrubs and Nike frees baby!!!
Ok we all know Mr. Jack Shepherd has always wanted to be a Radiologist & has always wanted to work in UT right? So pretty much I (cute little me) am going to work for him one day & then I’ll convert him and we’ll get married in the San Diego temple. My life in a nut shell ;)
P.S. That is NOT me in the Hair net and scrubs, I'd look so much hotter in scrubs. I mean she looks like my mom... wait ;) (That one's for you Kim & Lindz)
So if you know me in the slightest you know that I’ve had this weird obsession with wanting to look like Gisele Bundchen. OH, you don’t know who that is??? Well she’s engaged to Tom Brady (Quarter back for the New England Patriots, he's also 6' freakin' 4"!!!), she is the highest paid super model EVER (33 Mill to be exact), was also VS’s head angel for a couple years, is 5’ 11”, weighs 130 pounds and is a size 6. I’m not quite her height, nor would I think it’d be healthy for me to be her exact weight… but you gotta shoot for something right?
One day when I’m feeling particularly daring I’m going to try and recreate her hair color on my head, since she was at one point a brunette just like me!
Healthy or not I will always want to look like this woman. Tall, beautiful, happy, funny & hot. What more could someone ask for in a girl?
And as my boss Lindsey would say “I can tell you how to catch a guy! Be hot, don’t talk & don’t expect anything.” Well Lindz, Giselle just proved the latter two wrong so maybe there is hope!

So I decided something mid-yoga class yesterday.
I am going to be a Yoga & Pilates instructor one day. Why?
Well here are the PERKS:
I pick the music for class
I pick the times
I’ll make active girlie friends
I don’t have to pay the gym/instructor to go to class… I get PAID to go!
And I’ll be able to fold myself in half like all those crazy instructors do.
I’ll HAVE to have a SWEET BODY all the freakin time (Peer/class pressure at it's best)!!!!!!
Oh also, all the yoga and Pilates peoples have sweet abs, waaaay cute mats and amazing work out get ups!!! TOTAL PERK!
All in all I think it’s a great thing to look into… now I just have to figure out how to doooo it!
