July Favorites 2013

Hello Internet :)

You know how some people do like "Top July Faves" etc etc? Well I'm going to do that right now, except with my types of categories.

So here we go :) Hope you find some use out of this.

Workout Move o' the Month:



Some of you may be familiar with Blogilates. When I first started working out, I always went to her channel for videos, and man did i notice a difference! Cassey is so motivating, and you kind of love her and hate her (but mostly love).
So this move is killer and totally essential if you're looking to tone up your shoulders. It's a nice little endurance workout for your arms too :) I totally recommend for everyone to add to their workout, even if you're focusing on something different.

Best Workout Song:

Yes, there is two workout categories this month. But hey, you'll love me for it right?
Long Distance Running : It's Tricky // Run DMC
Sprints : Snake Eyes // Feint ft CoMa (Time the chorus with your sprints, total motivation)
Cool Down: The John Wayne // Little Green Cars

Best Space Picture of the Month (Yeah, I have a Catergory for This):



Galaxy SMM J2135-0102. Was just discovered :)

Best New Found Quote:

"Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings, and emotions." - Will Smith Everybody

Best New Discovered Song:

Harlem//New Politics
(I was totally caught dancing to this in the middle of my kitchen at like 2 am)

Best Splurge and Save Finds:

I like to do trends for these, and I discovered a really fun one: printed pencil skirts.

Save - Topshop Big Wheel Printed Tube Skirt - $56



This looks weird, but imagine this with a crop sweater, or a blouse and some retro shades. Some beautiful nostalgia right here.

Splurge - Mary Katrantzou 'Tia Maria' Pencil Skirt - $1,105



It's just so SERENDIPITOUS. But really. You can dress this down or up, and features a beautiful print to top it off. One of those tucked in black silk blouses would be gorgeous. Sadly, I don't have $1,105 laying around. If I did, I would be in Europe.

Best Beauty Product:

OPI Big Apple Red


Now I would take a picture of this color on my own nails with my own bottle of polish, but I just ran out :( But when I get some more, I def will get a photo. This color is the queen of all reds. It's classy, it's vibrant, and it's perfect. It usually only takes me one coat, but two would be a good idea if you want it to last.

Lux

Remember how I said I was a huge video game junkie? Well that's true. And just above, I have proof.

League of Legends anyone? Best game ever :). And my favorite character on there is Lux, the one who consta spams her laser and has the creepiest freaking laugh (imagine voice recording that).

And even if you have no clue what I'm talking about, I think I put together a nice little outfit for you guys :)

Anyway, this is a look inspired by my girl Lux. I like how her armor gives her everything she needs : prot against angry Amumu ganks, seemingly light weight (or at least very tight - but even I am guilty of wearing tight leather leggings), and still covers all of her skin *cough LeBlanc*.

What I'm Listening To: The Zombies//She's Not There

Coke or Pepsi: Pepsi. Even though some study showed that Coke drinkers were more successful :'(

Favorite Disney Movie: Mulan. ("Let me hear you say AAH!" "AAHHH!")

Tumblr Favorites

I don't know about you guys, but I think that Tumblr posts are the funniest of all. Forget about your Reddit, Facebook Fails, Twitter jokes - Tumblr will always be number one in my heart. So here is a few of my favorite ;)

School Pet Peeves

Pet Peeves.

We all have them.

But there is a special, yet dark place in our heart for SCHOOL Pet Peeves *cue shuddering*.

So your math class is dead quiet. Even the guy who seems to have no mute button is oddly enthralled in his work (but is most likely grabbing answers from the smart kid in front of him). So there you are, looking like a beauty but acting like a boss, when...

Stomach: I will now demonstrate a whale's mating call.

Like, how does this only happen to me?! During the summer, I could totally forget about eating for a couple of hours and my stomach will do NOTHING. It hibernates or something. Which is good (the no growling thing), don't get me wrong... but I'd rather have it growling in the middle of the pool instead of in your dead silent math class, where you manage to be sitting right next to a cute guy and the teacher.

Stomach: GREASRSERSDA

Cute Guy: *Looks Over*

And I'm just sitting there, like:








If there is anyone else out there reading that, and is totally nodding like I was telling the story of your life, please hit me up. I need to know.

Next you have the best class ever. Your best friend is there, it's before gym (so you aren't the tomato you are when working out), the teacher doesn't give a crap about what you're doing. Perfect right? And so there you are, next to your BFF, planning your next shopping trip, when you get a sub.

That's fine right? Subs are fine... most of them. But then you get the BOW-DOWN-TO-YOUR-LEADER-ALL-OF-YOU-SHUT-UP-OR-STAND-IN-THE-CORNER sub. Like, they're totally a reincarnation of some dictator and have a bigger ego than Kanye West.

Anyway, used to the typical casual tone of the best class ever, you pass your friend a note.

And that sub just happens to read that note.

And that note just happens talks about that sub's weird teeth.

And you just happen to have to go stand in the corner for the rest of your two hour class.

I mean, not like I'VE ever had to do that *uncomfortable laugh*. Heheh....

I have plenty more, but for the sake of my sleep, imma finish up.

What I'm Listening To: Something Good Can Work (The Twelves Remix)//Two Door Cinema Club

Slightly Embarrassing Confession: I always fall asleep to Netflix, and I wanted something that would be boring enough for me to not want to open my eyes an watch. I chose My Little Pony. I ended up watching half of season one.

Best New Quote: You and I are more than friends. We're like a really small gang.

Hello :)

Hello!

So how do I do this introduction thing? Believe it or not, no one on Blogger really tells you     -_- (but some of you may already know that).

For me, introductions suck. They do. Like, what are you supposed to expect from other people?

If I start to ramble, I apologize.

Anyway, my name is Jen, and I am what I like to call myself a girly girl et cetera (like the name of the... yeah. You get it. MOVING ON).

This means that I...

Love all things girly. Makeup (Too-Faced and Urban Decay anyone?), clothes (got the CUTEST cargo jacket today.... just... omg), Ed Sheeran *sigh*.

Am a huge music junkie. And I'm not talking about One Direction or anything like that. I mean the Beatles, Passion Pit, Cage the Elephant, The Neighborhood, White Stripes (how DARE they disband?!).

(By the way, I totally understand if you did not know half of those bands. My friends think I'm nuts for knowing a group called Cage the Elephant.)

Am a nerd. And not like those people who wear chunky glasses and haunt Hot Topic. Uh uh. I mean a true, full blown nerd. Proof: I am wearing a Japanese Star Wars shirt right now (see right). But yeah, I grew up on Marvel instead of Blues Clues, would rather stay home and play Left 4 Dead instead of going out with friends, and could totally carry out a full convo on the latest Walking Dead episode and know what I'm saying.

Other things include (but are not limited to):

Space Junky
Attemptive Baker
Writer
Somewhat-A-Runner-But-Pilates-Is-Funner-Exercise Girl
And White Girl Dancer

No, I don't take much pride in that last one.

So how could I really describe my blog? I can't. It just took me like a page and a half to try, and that description wasn't really fulfilling. So maybe along the way, we could figure that out :P

But here it is guys. A collection of my personal, weird thoughts, mixed in with my latest geekiness and song obsessions. Maybe throw in a couple of Pinterest attempts, some excerpts of my latest writings, and a few crazy stories...

And you have girly girl etc

(I was very proud of my closing btw. Very proud indeed....)
