Q1 Gym Jams - "Run It" Playlist

 

i am not by any means at all a "runner".  but lately i have been inspired to work on my running game and possibly sign up for a 5k this year.  i am currently leaning towards the Revlon Run/Walk for Women in may...

 

in any case, i cannot possibly keep my feet running on that treadmill unless i have some highly motivating beats.  my "run it" playlist is 41 minutes long and allows a 3 miles run and some cool down time. 

 

if you need a little kick in the butt, i think this playlist might just do it for you!

 

enjoy!

 

 

Happy {Exploring} Weekend!

oh hey there!  it's me - distracted debbie.

i do have some exciting news to share though...

 

i'm moving.  in with the boyfriend.  at the end of march.  big step.  excited/nervous. 

 

this weekend i am planning to do a little packing and a little neighborhood exploring. 

 

wish me luck!

Song Of The Week: I Love It

i love it.  no really i love the song "i love it". 

i first heard it on perhaps the best episode of girls ever and immediately downloaded it the next day for our trip to vegas.  and wouldn't you just know that this very song played at the club we went out at and i was as happy as a clam. 

besides going out and dancing, this song is another excellent gym jam.  i just run on the treadmill and completely lose track of time for the 3 minutes it is on. 

i love it.

Happy V*Day!

Sephora Staples

 

as much as i love my drug store beauty goods, there are just a few staples that require a visit to my local sephora.

 

during christmas i purchased this stila seeing stars smudge-stick waterproof eyeliner set fully intended to break it apart and gift each eyeliner to a friend and wouldn't you just know that i accidentally kept them all to myself and am hooked?  these eyeliners glide on so smoothly and they last all day long!  but what i love most about these eyeliners is they make lining the inner rim of your eye so simple and it actually stays put all night long (all night) - score!  plus it is important to mention that these liners are sold individually for $20 each so you are getting a steal of a deal at $32 for five of them! 

 

i love my l'oreal voluminous mascara oh so much and wanted to HATE the benefit they're real mascara so bad, but let me just tell you...THIS MASCARA IS AMAZEBALLS.  it really does make your lashes look extraordinary!  i purchased the travel size and was feeling sad when it began to dry up, but luckily for me sephora's b*day gift for beauty insiders in 2013 is a travel size of this mascara AND a travel size of the watt's up (which i am still learning how to use).  if you are still on the hunt for a kick-ass mascara, be sure to give this one a try, it's that good!

 

lastly, i have been blogging about urban decay's eyeshadow primer potion tube in sin for years and years now and i will continue to share this incredible product with anyone who is still clueless.  this stuff is a must-have for everybody, it is available in a variety of different shades (in case you hate shimmer) and is the perfect addition to any makeup bag.  it keeps your eyeshadow in place, is the perfect quick product to rub on your eyelids before hitting the gym or running errands and one tube lasts a whole year (if not more)!  i kind of go into panic mode when i am getting near the end of the tube in fear that i will run out. 

 

do you have any sephora staples i am missing out on and need to try out immediately?  do share! 

 

 

Hearts all Around!

dvf iphone case / hanky panky / archie's girls collection / lip slip / bangle / baby love tee

 

i surprisingly am not a huge fan of v*day.  never have been, never will be. 

 

what i do love about v*day however is the abundance of hearts, pink and cinnamon candy that you just can't seem to escape. 

 

if i were to expect sweet b to buy me surprise me with a prezzie this thursday however, any of the items above would tickle me pink!

 

however, it should be noted that even once february 14th passes, i do intend to still wear a lot of pink, hearts and eat cinnamon candy.

how i have been feeling all week. 

 

not sure what the heck is happening to my body right now, but i sound like a man/drag queen and cannot stop coughing.  i am freezing cold and annoying the sh*t out of my coworkers. 

 

is it friday yet?

 

Happy Golden* B*Day to Me!

 

so technically my golden birthday was when i was three, but i'm turning 33 today so i figure i am gonna golden birthday it up this year! 

 

also, beyonce gave me a shout out for my golden birthday, so i am pretty sure it is gonna be awesome!

 

ooh yeah, and there is also this big game on today that i share my day with.  this thing called the super bowl...

 

who are you rooting for?



Happy {B*Day} Weekend!

 

wishing you all a sparkly weekend full of fun! 

Forever Frugal Friday

 

this flared scuba dress will be mine. 

 

i saw it a few weeks back when i bought my new fave peplum top and wanted to buy it but was trying to stay focused.  however, i have thought about this dress at least five times since, and it is such a steal of a deal, i am not sure why i am still hesitating .

 

the color is gorgeous and the fabric is soft and provides great coverage.  perfect little early edition to my spring wardrobe i think...
