Family Ties

I took my cousin Tess shopping yesterday so she could spend the gift card I got her for her birthday. She loves playing "dress-up" in my clothes and always wants to borrow my favorite items. I think I enjoy the dress-up sessions just as much as she does! Tess is very much a jeans and t-shirt girl, which I was too at her age. Normally once a year or so I let her come and "shop" in my closet. Anything that I was planning to give away or haven't worn in a long time I let her have it if she likes the stuff.

With her birthday money she got a shirt from Forever 21, a Hello Kitty keychain Pez dispenser, and two pairs of tights from Target. As soon we got done shopping she wanted to wear her new tights. I let her borrow so items from my closet and I took her picture for the blog! She looks so cute! I will definitely be wearing a similar version of this outfit soon.

Just Like Sydney (Well Only a Little)

So Syndney @ The Daybook demanded that her blog readers follow in her footsteps and post their own awesome & awkward thoughts/moments for Awkward & Awesome Thursday! Being the loyal blog follower I am, here I go.



AWKWARD


-I am sure Sydney has already pointed this out but typing the word awkward is well, awkward.
-When I am singing at the top of my lungs in my car and another driver notices me! Ooops!
-Keeping one thumb glove free so I can use my iPhone. Maybe I should just cut the fingertip off one of the index fingers instead of halfway wearing a glove.
-Being a 26 year old and just now discovering that I like anime. Full Metal Alchemist is soooo
good. Wow, that is also very nerdy. Don't tell anyone about this guilty pleasure of mine.
-Dodging the advances of your cousin's 19 year old friend. (Well maybe it is a little awesome. I could be a cougar. Haha.)
-Forgetting my iPod when I go to the gym and the man on the elliptical machine right next to me is breathing very loudly/making strange noises. Hello....I am trying to concentrate! (I take my cardio seriously.)



AWESOME


-Sirius XMU Sessions (Indie bands play live session in studio. I love my XM Radio.)
-Losing 2 lbs during my first week on my new high protein eating plan.
-Going to Urban Outfitters and discovering that clearance is 50%.
-Spending time with two of my fabulous cousins. These two gals are more like my sisters.
-Getting my hair done! My stylist is amazing with my hair and plus she is really fun to talk to.
-Going to Ulta and discovering that all Bourjois make-up is $4.99. I don't typically buy this brand but I love trying out new eyeshadow! (I like sales too.)
-A joint New Kids On The Block / Backstreet Boys tour! Yes, I will be attending! The boy band I loved as a child and the boy band I loved as a young teenager together, yes please.




I promise I will start blogging on a regular basis again soon. I have just been very uninspired lately.
