Because of my full time job, I've been getting into (somewhat) of a normal 9 to 5 schedule on weekdays. (Actually my work week consists of only Monday through Thursday until the summer...which I am loving). Because I am finally able to live out a normal work day and week (unlike the schedule of classes, exams, etc), I have developed a liking towards some new discoveries I've made so far in 2013!
Without further ado, let's get started!
1. TV Shows
Tim and I have been watching a lot of different shows on Netflix lately that are amazingly good! We are obsessed with the show, Monk. I remembered Monk was on USA Network when I was younger, but I never got into it...I even had no clue on what the show was about! It's a lot like Psych, but I have to say, I like Monk much better! I love how each episode is something different, yet there is still a central plot that the show revolves around!
Another show: Freaky Eaters
This show is on TLC, but I have yet to see it on the actual channel! (I've only seen it on Netflix) The show is focusing on the obesity epidemic, which is something I have always been interested in. {I also love the Biggest Loser haha} The people the show focuses on only eat one food every single day...and yes, they eat the SAME thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! There are two episodes of people who only eat french fries! Over all, it is such an interesting show!
On to show #3: Total Blackout
Even though this show is on the SyFy channel, it's one of the most hilarious game shows ever! The host is Urkel (just one reason why it's so funny)! The contestants have to do different types of challenges in complete darkness. Check out this video to see why I love this show so much! Hilarious.
2. Vitamins
I don't think I have ever mentioned this before, but my skin is not the greatest. I have struggled with mild acne for quite some time. Nothing bad, usually just one breakout constantly (which is still super annoying!!) Does anyone else feel my pain?? I am always looking for the latest skincare and makeup products that will not be too harsh on my sensitive and breakout-prone skin! Talk about a struggle. I recently decided to take Vitamin E, and I think it is working so far! My skin seems to be more hydrated this winter, and I have noticed some dark spots fading quicker than usual!
And let's not forget about Vitamin C this flu season!! I do not want to get the flu!!
3. Amazon Purchases (including my very first knitting supplies)!
Recently I traded in some old textbooks to Amazon's Trade In program, and while they do not accept every book out there, I was able to get good deals on about half of my old books! And that half added up to about $160! I can't believe I would've just had those lying around my house, not being used! Other than some necessities (guinea pig food, Crest white strips, and a gift for Tim), I decided to buy some things for myself!
These boots will be at my doorstep soon enough! I have been looking for a pair of combat boots that aren't so...well...combat ish. I know that seems hard to find, but I think I've found the perfect pair, with the perfect color! I wanted to find a pair that looks more vintage (Something like the girls on A Little Princess would wear...judge me, that's still my favorite movie)
I think they will look cute with jeans and a cute shirt, maybe even cute enough for going out in (I am such a wimp when it comes to going out footwear in the winter...I wear boots most of the time - if I'm feeling brave I'll wear flats)
I also want to get hooked on knitting! At camp I learned patterns for tons of embroidery thread bracelets, and I loved how I could always work on a bracelet and pay attention to something at the same time. I think it's nice to keep my hands busy sometimes. My grandma taught me how to knit in 7th grade, but I lost all of the supplies so I have been dying to pick it back up! My first project is going to be a basic scarf. I think they will come in handy when I move to Chicago this fall!
Part 2 (Thing I'm Not Loving) is coming soon!
