All the girls want...

pretty clothes, pretty bodies and handsome boyfriends.

And all I want to do is eat.

Is something wrong?

(Just because its funny)

I’ve probably tried to lose weight like 20 times in the last 10 years.
I’ve probably tried 5 different diets, 7 different workout routines and plain old running till my legs fall off.
I’ve given up and started up again.

I have this weak spot for ice cream and cakes.

I’ve tried to convince myself that it’s for health and sometimes to give myself a boost of confidence.
I’ve tried to do it out of revenge because of a broken heart.
I’ve tried to do it to gain a boyfriend with my new physique.
I’ve tried to do it out of anger, sadness and loneliness.
I’ve tried…

I have this weak spot for ice caps and burger and fries.

I’ve decided that I’m just going to be fluffy and satisfied.
But I walk into a mall or my favourite store…
and the clothes don’t fit right.
so I’ve tried to do for clothes.

I have this weak spot for chocolate bars and donuts.

So what does one do when you've tried and tried?

 you try, try, try again! So todays goal: do something active. and have fun while doing it!
who said it couldn't be fun?

I wish someone would say:

Wish me luck would ya?

Get To Know Me.

So, usually I just post fashion blogs. But I want this blog to represent me in almost every way (there are things you don't wanna know, so I'll spare you) hehe

sooooooo, TODAY I decided to link up to a blog that I found by reading Knowing Tanya blog.

O.ne  I was scared of the dark until I was 12. Growing up with two brothers we shared a room in a small two bedroom apartment. We finally got our own house and I got my own room. It wasn't an easy transition. One day I got fed up with being wimpy scared and forced myself to sleep without a nightlight.

T.wo I didn't have my first boyfriend until I was eighteen. It was such a weird thing, because all my friends had already had like 3 or 4 boyfriends by then. I don't really know why not, it just didn't happen. And when I did get my first boyfriend, I had a small breakdown and worried about committing to young. it was weird.  I'm weird.

T.hree I was a little thief when I was younger. I stole all the time. Stickers, keychains, small objects at the dollar store. I couldn't help it. I wanted it and so I grabbed it. I grew out of it, thank God.

F.our I don't know how to swim. I mean, I can doggie paddle extremely well. But I can't swim like a real swimmer. I always get water in my ears and swallow about a gallon of water. I almost drown all the time no lie.

F.ive I have a really weird fascination with accents. This is probably not a secret, but I love them. I wish I had one. I mean, other then a "canadian accent" (which isn't even a real accent... Eh!)

S.ix I secretly dance in my room all the time. I love it. I love to dance. It makes me feel energized and happy. 

S.even I daydream about being a singer. I wish I had been blessed with a voice that the angels would have been jealous of! I wish I could write songs. I used to want to. But like most dreams, it died.

E.ight I used to write about every sad and emotional event in my life. When I was happy I was never inspired enough to write. I stopped writing because I stopped being sad, and became awesome instead didn't feel inspired anymore. 

N.ine I truly wish I could have a written blog. Don't get me wrong. I love fashion blogs, and those blogs are the ones i follow most. But I want to be able to write... not meaningless things, but things that people will read and inspired from. 

T.en I secretly wish that my future husband would one day come up to me and say something straight out of a Jane Austen novel. I have a weak spot for beautiful words. 

Come back next tuesday, and get to know me more!

Happy Tuesday!

"You must know... surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. "

-Mr Darcy

Fashion Weekend: Blue Shoes & Black Dress

I got several things to post this week, mostly my weekend outfits. And also I got nominated for an award (Yippeee!!) So during the week, I'll be doing my best to post all those things up. Never knew I'd get so busy with blogging. Anyways, this weekend was a tough fashion weekend. I didn't know what to wear or how to do my hair. I opted out with simple pieces and put them together. The first outfit isn't the best outfit I've ever put together so this will definitely be an outfit that will be redone in the future. 

My favorite part of the whole outfit was the belt and the shoes. I do enjoy combining two different colors. 

Most of my belts are too big for me, so I've gotten into the habit of tying them into little knots.
This one turned out well, looks like a bow.

Who doesn't like bows?

Fashion Weekend: Collars & Stripes

For a while I've been looking for a collar woman's shirt. I havent been able to find one that fits well and is within a college girls budget. I went shopping the other day after a couple weeks hiatus and bought a couple of things. I was really excited when I walked into Old Navy and saw a collar shirt. Old Navy has the best sizes. I'm not a skinny girl so sometimes its hard to find shirts that fits my shoulders and breast area. Usually its one of two problems: too small or too big! But this time I was lucky. So I wore it with one of my favorite skirts because its so colorful.  

Enjoy!
