5 Things

Well I survived the earthquake, my first one (and hopefully last). I was on the 1oth floor of my building (normally I am on 26 but lunch room is located on 10) and felt the weirdest shaking and rumbling. It sounded and felt like the subway you feel walking on the streets...It was scary, but not quite as frightening as #3 on my 5 things listed below:

1. Salma Hayek Nuance Hydating Rose Balm

Love this stuff. It is like a fancy aquafor with the faint smell of rose. I use it before I go to sleep on my lips (cant go to sleep without aquafor or this b/c if I do, I wake up with the most chapped lips EVER!)

2. Yogurt Pretzels

I am not a huge fan of yogurt, so they should probably call them frosting pretzels b/c that is what they taste like. I just had my first one last week and have been on a yogurt pretzel kick since then! I would love to make my own (with frosting of course...)

3. Ouch!

So I was shaving (standing up, apparently most people sit) and I guess I was shaving the top of my foot (I think???) and I lost balance. While I was making the shaving motion with the razor I caught the pad of my 3rd toe from the big toe on my right foot in the razor-and off it went. My apartment literally looked like a murder scene. Blood EVERYWHERE. Had to hobble out of the shower bleeding like roadkill (thank god I had just started and no shampoo or conditioner was in my hair) . And the worst part? I was all alone, had no first aid stuff, and my iphone was not working! It was traumatizing to say the least. I have been hobbling all day long and am dreading how painful tonight's shower may be.

4. Mary Janes

Not that I will be getting much wear out of any heels anytime soon due to #4, but I fell in love with these shoes from a catalog that got sent to the previous tenant me. They remind me of Prada. The Nordstrom's photo is not as cute as the way they look on the model...I need them for fall!

5. Nails, Nails, Nails!

In my last post I talked about how wonderful pink gel topcoat is from Sephora. And above is my nails after using it consistently for 1 week. My nails before were little stubs. Like guy nails. Awful, I know! Soon they will be in tip top shape so I can start sporting some Chanel Peridot or OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark (you all know I love and am ready for fall!)

5 Things

I like when bloggers have "5 Things" posts, where they list random thoughts/rants/raves, so I decided to start doing it as well. Here we go......

1. Big Rich Texas

I LOVE trashy TV, and the Style Network seems to have an endless supply (seriously between Jerseylicious and Big Rich Texas I may end up wearing spandex leapard, neon glitter nails, dye my hair blonde, and start tanning...jk...sort of). This new show is centers around several Texas ladies and their daughters. They all belong to a country club and fight with each other at least 3 times an episode. Bonnie and Whitney crack me up, can't wait to see them continue to fight with Pam.

2. LuLulemon

I just started working out. I tend to workout heavily for a few weeks then give it up all together, however, lululemon is def helping me break that habit. When workout clothes are just as cute if not more cute than regular clothes, it gives me an extra reason to hit the gym.

3. http://heidiklum.aol.com/

This is Heidi Klum's blog about fitness, fashion, life, and other stuff. She has some great tips for running as well as her 'favorite things' which I love. Very entertaining. Check it out!

4. Fall

This heat wave has me wishing for all things fall. Chunky sweaters, boots, leggings, scarves, pumpkin everything. Currently, I have Bath and Bodyworks Creamy Pumpkin candle burning. It smells amazing and makes me believe that its not 1238910823 degrees outside.

5. Giuiliana Rancic Hair

I will ALWAYS love the ombre hair trend. Children always have the best hair because it is naturally lightened by the sun, and the lightness is usually concentrated on the ends...it just looks so natural and pretty. IMO Giuiliana got the ombre done perfectly. I bet she has lots of extensions which helps tremendously, but man does she have awesome hair. I watch her on her show that comes on between all my trashy style network tv :)

What are some things you are loving right now? Anybody else watch these shows? Looking forward to Fall?
