pump pump pump it up!

I will try to write this blog while simultaneously playing fetch with my cat. Yes, with my cat.
This may be harder than expected - especially since she always drops the mouse just riiiight outside my reach so that I'm forced to sit up. That is just asking way to much of me. 


Well it's Work Out Wednesday so break out your tennis shoes and work out clothes and read my blog! At least you'll be dressed and look like you may eventually work out today.

This morning I attended a Zumba Bootcamp class at the fitness studio where I intern. I have tried Zumba before but not with a bootcamp edge. WOO does my tushy hurt. Perhaps it's the leftover pain of the 5k I ran Saturday mixed with how out of shape I am but it actually worked my little (or soon to be little) bottom. The first half was more Zumba choreography/hip hop and the last 30 minutes were left for squats, weights, abs, and plank. Now the last time I did planks like this was in Freshman year P.E. when I had the teacher from hell. I think I was sore for the entire first month of college, as well as guilt-ridden from constantly cheating on the machines when the teacher wasn't looking.

So now I am riding the fad wave and can thoroughly promote Zumba as a fun way to work out and get your ba-toots in shape!

I thee you.

Hooray for Make Up Monday!!

For my first make up post I will focus on my favorite eye cosmetics.

1. Eyeliner: I have been searching for a good eyeliner since the beginning of time and I believe I have finally found THE one. Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner. In two words - da bomb. I fell in love with felt tip eyeliners when I first bought an E.L.F eyeliner (which is amazing for being $1 but does tend to dry up very fast) but this one beats all.

It's around $20 from Ulta (which can seem pricey but WELL worth it in value.)

2. Mascara: I usually try a new mascara out every time the old one dries out but this one has proved itself a repurchase. It's the Loreal Telescopic Carbon Black mascara. I finally realized after yeaaars of buying "volumizing"  mascara that I really needed one that lengthens. Ooopth. Almost as dumb a decision as when I got side bangs right before coming to college in humid Wilmington.

It's around $10 to 11 which is also a little bit pricier than the $7 mascara range but still worth it.

3. Eyeshadow: I don't usually wear eyeshadow on a daily basis but when I want to jazz it up a bit this eyeshadow palette is what I turn to. It was only $5 from Target and has a variety of neutral colors to choose from. Despite being inexpensive the shadows are still pretty pigmented for the price.

They aren't as matte as I would like for a daily eyeshadow but they work perfectly for a special occasion. Again this was only $5.

4. Eye primer: I used to own a sample size of the Too Face Shadow Insurance Primer but I only used it here or there and never really saw it's purpose. Recently I've been using the Urban Decay Primer Potion in Greed. It has a golden tint to it that is soo pretty and perfect to use alone.

 This is around $18 from Sephora.

Any suggestions for the next Make Up Monday?

What. A. Joke.

I apologize for the late night blog post. My trip took an hour and a half more than expected due to standstill traffic. Horrific experience only made more horrific by the fact that my bladder had never been so full in my life. So on to Friday Favorites! Unfortunately since this post is coming via phone there wont be any pictures so my b! 1. The fact that i am officially a college graduate hooray! Its a weird experience and probably wont fully hit me for awhile. 2. My recent purchase of a shirt with the graphic of a skull made out of cats. Bitchin. 3. The fact that i spoil Tiny with every cat toy ever made and she finds more joy in a twig on the floor. I think its her form of rich girl rebellion. This post has been short and will hopefuly not reflect future posts. I am running in a 5k in the morning so this old lady needs her beauty sleep! Sincerely, Your Muffin Top Mistress
