5 Things- Weekend Edition

It's Friday (As if you need reminding!)

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I'll be leaving on a jet plane to visit....

It's a grand ol' family gathering at our home away from home. I hope to accomplish TWO things from my bucket list (I'll let you guess which ones, check back to see if you're right!) and spend time in the sun getting the sports bra tan lines to recede from visibility. That being said, I would like to take this Friday to complete another round of....

During this weekend and the following days of my vacation, I hope to...

1. Get my toes painted a pretty pink for the celebration of Spring!

2. Cross off not only one, but TWO items from my bucket list!
3. Finish my fourth book since graduation.
Another fiction book I picked up solely for enjoyment purposes.

4. Get rid of my extremely noticeable sports bra tan lines (sock lines would also be welcome to exit the building...)

5. Get a Bacon Blue Cheese Burger from my favoritest restaurant in the area. Yummmm

Happy Weekend!

XOXO MK

5 Things Returns!

Oh 5 things... how I have missed thee!
 And now that we are up and soaring again, 5 Things has found its way back into my life. So for this lovely week of January, here come...

 

1. Be there for a close friend. Sometimes life gives us heartache, hurdles, and hurt. But I know personally how healing it can be with amazing friends by my side. So I can only hope that I offer as much comfort, love, and encouragement as I have recieved.

2. Complete a book I haven't started yet. Anyone heard of a little series known as "The Hunger Games?" I sure have... enough to finally push me to purchase the first and try this sucker out. With a flight and a layover tomorrow, I hope to get my rear in gear and get this book completed in time for the weekend.

3. Take a bike ride/run on the beach and not feel bad for doing it leisurely and for enjoyment purposes only. Too many a time I have missed out on appreciating the sunrise and beautiful breeze because I am determined to have a "good workout." I'm not training for anything at the moment, so let the good (slow) times roll...

4. Paint my finger nails. I've been biting these nubs enough. Time to primp and polish

5. Apply for at least 2 more jobs to help prove this education I just completed was some-what worth it!

What are you planning for your week?

A Full Post, Monday!

Last night was the 83rd Academy Awards, which meant it was time for another red carpet affair.

For us ladies, a chance to throw fashion kiss or diss. 

Some of my favorites included....

Mila Kunis, who looked flawless

Reese, in simple yet classy black and ivory

Jennifer Hudson, Gorgeous!

Sorry Ladies, but my disses must go to...

Cate Blanchett. The Human Easter Egg

Although her hair and makeup look amazing, Sorry Scarlet

Amy Adams, and her blue sequence extravaganza

Overall, the show was a success. Trying to appeal to the younger audiences, Franco and Hathaway hosted. Hathaway had a good performance, while Franco fell flat on his face. 

Perhaps we should get Ellen Degeneres back up on that stage, Please!

Sugar Cleanse Update
This weekend, I must admit, came upon me and I had a little slip up. With some Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Kit Kat Bar thrown into the equation, the sugar cleanse was put on hold. I am, however, back on board, and ready to continue this week with the loss of Sugar and all that it comes with. Here we go again!

ANDDDD FINAALLYYY...

1. Keep up with this Sugar Cleanse again!

2. Stay optimistic about... Everything

3. Make plans to either visit HP world or jump out of an airplane in less than 14 days

4. Write a few snail mail letters (including getting my dad his birthday card!)

5. Do the Spring Closet change and rock what I got!

And that is all... Happy Monday!
