Money Honey

Although this isnt my personal blog, I'm just so excited, I thought I would let you all know that I HAVE A JOB! (finally). Medical receptionist for a really small dr. office. I start on Monday, yay!

On another note, I went into J.Crew today haha. It's funny because I had never actually been inside the store until today :p. And of course I'm even more in love now. :)
Can't wait to make some money and buy some things! Although I'm trying to save for a new car. Any suggestions? I've been looking at the Nissan Rouge. I kinda want a small SUV cause I like being up higher.

P.S. I'm in love with Lady Gaga's song Money Honey, hence the title of this blog.

J. Crew

I noticed earlier I only showed you images of the two necklaces I loved from J. Crew, and failed to show you the spring collection and the clothes I love!

So here are some images. I'm in love with this preppy look. Mostly I'm in love with the pastel colors, and the feel of the soft fabrics along with the silky fabrics. And I love that accent piece, either a bright pop of color or a large necklace :)
It's just so laid back and comfy. love it!

isn't it so "Palm Springs"? I think so haha.

Nike+

I didnt even know this existed until a few days ago, haha. It came across on some blog on the fitness section on glamour magazine website. I'm so impressed by this! I want it so bad, but since I no longer have an ipod nano anymore (it was in my car when it got taken away....long story) It seems I'll have to wait until the new software update for my iphone(since it seems nike is waiting until then to come out with it for the iphone.) So sad. I did get an armband for my iphone though! So excited to beable to run again with my music. I'm a little afraid to take my iphone out though...its so expensive and I'm already on my 2nd one..(last one got stolen at my old job). Thankfully I used my photography insurance and got the $400 dollars back, but my insurance only covers one phone. Now I actually have to be careful..crap.

Anyways, I hope Nike+ comes to the iphone soon! Until then I did here there were a few good apps for free that are similar to Nike+ but obviously not quite as good....yet. Since they arent from a big corporation they say they focus more time to updating their product so it will soon be even better....but I think because they arent a big corporation, their product will not get much exposure, therefore not making enough money to beable to really run with it. haha. I guess we will see.

inspired by J.Crew

So whenever I'm at Starbucks on El Paseo, (my usual hangout) I'm always looking across the way at J.Crew. I've been hanging around their website a lot lately! I'm pretty much in love with EVERYTHING from there. Haha, so cute. For their Spring line, they have a lot of light pastel colors mixed with a few brights. Its all very Palm Springs. Really light sheer fabrics. Love it!!!

There are two necklaces from there that are driving me crazy! they are both like $200!! but they are soooo cute!

whiter teeth already

I already feel like im noticing a difference with my new mouth wash/ teeth whitener.
How exciting is that? I can't wait to have whiter teeth!

The self tanner isnt bad. the only thing is i didnt rub it in well enough in one little spot. you can barely notice it.

other then that i bought a new nail color today.
yellow by N.Y.C. i love nyc because they are only .99 cents! but they tend to chip easily. Sorry about the poor image. its the only one i could find. and the yellow is a bit lighter than that.

currently my nails are light purple by essie. i had never heard of essie before but i guess its popular, its as much as opi nail polish but i got mine for .99 cents way on sale at ulta! i think the lady just made a mistake cause it said on sale for 3.99 but when i got the reciept it said .99 cents. haha so cool.

Drugstore

Went to the drugstore today. I've decided to try a few products i've been meaning to try out.

1. Rembrandt Whitening Mouthwash
(pictured on the left)
I'd heard some good things about this whitening mouthwash. We shall see what happens.

2. Neutrogena Sun Fresh Sunless Lotion
(pictured below)
I used to use the lotion from Bath and Body Works but i think it goes on a bit too dark and i dont enjoy the smell. My favorite thing about this is it has a really good scent!


We shall see if either of these products work in time haha.

iphone 3.0

so i'm very excited about the new iphone 3.0 software.
apple.com is my homepage and i've been seeing it pop up on their page for a while but hadnt really checked out what new features would be represented. This morning while eating my cereal i decided it was the perfect time to watch the video. In the update there are new features like copy, cut, paste among all applications and between applications, horizontal view with large keyboard is being added to notes, mail, and text, as well as a lot of new features in their sdk software. This update to sdk enables software developers to 1. add new features inside their current apps like buying additional levels, although im not that excited about having fees inside of an app i've already purchased, i'm happy to know that all free apps will stay completely free. 2. another great thing about sdk is their new push nodifications which allows instant communication to and from those apps. its similar format to when you get text messages but it could be from a game or another app.

Something im really excited about is that texting will now have MMS capabilities. you can send and recieve audio files, pictures, and even locations! You can even search across all applications for something. its called spotlight.

So the new iphone update sounds really exciting doesnt it?
There are many other new features i didnt even mention in this post. The video is about and hour and a half. thats how many new feaures there are haha. so check it out yourself here!

Working It Out

So since im unemployed and pretty much do nothing all day I've recently been working out a lot more than usual ( my usual being pretty much nothing). Since I no longer work at a gym, I no longer have a free membership, so I've instead been working out at home. Which is amazing because it doesnt cost anything!!


My favorite site to find workout videos is Self.com. It's really great. I even signed up for the 2009 Self Challenge! You log your measurements and weight, and can daily add what you ate in your food diary as well as log workouts! your own workouts or the self.com workouts. It calculates all your calories and everything for you. Its really great. I had a similar application on my iphone called "lose it" - its really cool because its free and i could record it all from my phone, but i got tired of it. I believe self.com is a lot better.


I've really been trying to do more cardio lately. I never do enough. Sadly I havent been able to get my friends to do it with me much. But now i'm obsessed with Plyometrics! Its crazy jumping movements! I myself love to jump around! it works muscle strength as well as zapping calories! up to 10 a min!

Back to Basics/ trends i like

So despite the fact that i am still unemployed there have been many items I've been wanting lately. My mother and i ( yes i shop with my mother in hopes that when we get tot the checkout counter she will buy my things for me haha.) went over to Old Navy yesterday and to m suprise there were many cute items there. I used to be an old navy fan a long time ago but then went through a dry spell. Now im back haha. they have very cute V-neck tees that are almost as soft as the ones i bought at american eagle the other day. (old navy slouchy v-neck pictured on the left).

I've been finding myself buying a lot of basic tees lately. eh i dunno. i've been trying to add color to my wardrobe (which im getting better at) as well as get into the new "large florals thing". I keep seeing the cutest floral dresses but they are either too expensive or i cant find them. what do i mean by i can't find them? Below is a photograph from Forever 21 on the homepage. Unfortunately that dress cannot be found on their website. I want it so bad! It must have either sold out already (which tends to happen on their website) or maybe they are giving us a sneak peak of whats to come. I dont like being teased!

The shirt i actually did buy from old navy is on the right. i know its a bright blue which is crazy for me (classic black and white girl all the way). but spring is about color, and i've felt too winter and boring in my usual black and white. I also purchased the cutest very thin light green scarf from there but they dont seem to have the same one on their website. It's so cute, and since its saint pattys today i thought i'd wear it. :) I'm loving scarfs in spring.

Today was a pretty large post. I even want to post more but i think i'll save that for tomorrow. I'm going to try to post on here every day if i remember haha.

Preface: So I've always been fascinated by other people's blogs. I especially seem to love magazine blogs. you know they usually have the fashion editor or whoever of the magazine post a daily blog about new make up products or something of that sort. So i thought maybe i'd have my own. maybe I'll post about things i've seen that day, links to articles on other sites, personal things in my life. I'm not exactly sure yet.
