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
By looking at me, you probably wouldn’t guess that I am actually pretty athletic. Last year, I completely my first half marathon (in SF) and I usually workout about 5-6 times a week. I don’t necessarily workout for physical reasons; instead, I hit the gym for my own mental sanity. If I don’t exercise, I become the Wicked Witch of the West.
My hour a day at the gym is my happy time, with no texts, e-mails, social media etc. I love spinning, and I would do that everyday if I could. However, my legs need a break sometimes, so
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
I am on my way to a meeting with a local magazine, so this is going to be quick. However, I wanted to share my outfit because it sorta sums up my entire personal style. I hate wearing color, I love over-sized comfortable pieces, and then I always have a “pop” or statement piece.
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
I really wanted to take this pic to show you how good my hair looks today LOL. Everyone knows that day after hair is hot. If you style your hair one day, and then don’t wash it the next and add baby powder, voilà you get sexy, messy hair! This pictures don’t really do justice for my good hair day, but you get the picture.
All of my friends have awesome Alamo pictures. Check out Katie Amey’s too.
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
Today, I am going to Texas State University to do a guest lecture in one of the PR classes. This is my all time favorite thing in the world to do. It is so fun getting to meet everyone!
For some reason, I had a really hard time sleeping last night, so even though I am super excited about my day, I am exhausted (thanks to 6 AM Starbucks run, I am feeling better). Thus, when I was deciding what I wanted to wear, I knew I was going to be as lazy as possible.
“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
