Marine wives of TBS Bravo Company 2013 with the First Lady of the Marine Corp This weekend was the Marine Corp Birthday Ball, which has me thinking about a couple of the most important groups in my life right now: The men and women who serve our country (Happy Veteran’s Day and Happy Birthday, Marines) and the amazing group of military spouses I have around me. I’ve actually been thinking about writing this
As I mentioned last week in this post, I always get a bit sentimental when someone I have known for the majority of my life fills out one of these Career Confidentials. This week’s is no different because I have probably known Rachel since middle school, maybe even elementary school? When someone I grew up with in San Antonio does the Q&A, it is interesting to me because we essentially started life in the same I am terrible with money. When it comes to my spending habits, I have a major “YOLO” attitude; if buying something brings me joy in that moment, then I am all about it. My mentality has always been I work super hard for my money, and you can’t take it with you when you are gone, so why not spending, right?! WRONG. Each month, I always make enough to pay all my expensive, but instead of, saving the rest, I find more things to buy. Between my daily iced coffees, frequent “just because” shopping sprees, and weekly happy hours with Every time I have a random thought, I always want to rush to blog about it. It is kind of annoying because I can’t concentrate on anything else until I released my feelings through a blog post. I spend a lot of time consuming media, and this week, I noticed the headlines about Lululemon’s founder blaming his see-thru pants debacle on the shape of certain women’s bodies. I also noticed the stuff about Abercrombie now offering clothes in sizes larger than 10 (I am not going to WALK, but RUN to my nearest Abercrombie to stock up!!); yes, after their You may recall that I was a mess, about 2 months ago. I was deep in the perils of finding a job right after college. Well let me tell you, I decided to become a certified yoga instructor, and it changed my life. After doing 200 hours of training, I would like to share some perspective I gained. For once I followed my heart, and did what I wanted to do, rather than what society told me I should do. After my training began, I found myself occupied with something I loved. I actually enjoyed Saturday morning classes, even if Here at NeonNotebook we are all about demystifying life’s greatest mysteries. There is nothing more mysterious than texts from a boy that you are sorta dating. I know, I am not the only one that spends an embarrassing amount of time over-analyzing texts. Luckily, we have, Katie Amey, our in-house Cosmo UK writer to answer all our dating questions, and we have decided to conduct a very scientific social experiment. Katie and I picked 5 of the most common, generic texts that all girls over-analyze. Yes, we can read what he said in black and
As I was putting this post up, I got a little bit emotional. I love reading all the Career Confidentials, but I especially love reading the ones from my friends. These are topics we don’t always spend a lot of time talking about, so I always find their answers to be so interesting and insightful. More than anything else, I “Fitness” seems to be the buzz word that never goes away. This isn’t such a bad thing because being fit and healthy should be a priority; however, the real issue is: who has time for it? There was recently an Internet uproar when Maria Kang, a fitness enthusiast and mother of 3, posted a picture of her toned body, with the caption “What’s Your Excuse?” Well maybe she’s right. I have to say though, I have never been willing to trade my social life for time at the gym. This makes it “more difficult” but again, I think This is why Facebook is a wonderful thing: I noticed that my former roommate, Alix Altit, decided to become a personal trainer! As part of that, she started a YouTube channel with health and fitness videos. The other day, she posted a video with a recipe for a healthy fig martini (check it out below!), and thought it would make a great pre-weekend post. All week I have been looking forward to this weekend because my best friend is coming in town, and we are going to have a fabulous night out. Every once in a while you As you continue to read my blog, one thing that you must know about me is I have major obsessions. I get hooked on random, stupid things that no one else cares about. Past obsessions: Harry Styles, white men’s t-shirts, American Apparel lamé leggings, chunky bracelets, the list could really go on and on. Right now, I am totally obsessed with layering dainty gold necklaces. There is something just kinda charming about them. The other day I went to the mall, and went on a rampage buying more so I could have a variety. I have been wearing |
