I have a theory that it's actually impossible to maintain a blog and a full-time job. Throw in the fact that it's summer and you've got a recipe for disaster. The good news: I miss blogging. I really,
really miss blogging. Therefore I think I might actually have an ounce of motivation to post more often. I worked hard to get my blog to this point and I'll be damned if I let it fall apart now! Anyway, my rant = over and now let's get on to the point of this post.
I'm pretty critical of myself. That's something I've really been struggling with in the past few weeks. Adjusting to a new place can make it seem like everything is going wrong all the time, so it's extra important to take a step back and just
chill out. I saw recently that Carly (a.k.a
The College Prepster) did a spin-off of one of my favorite articles
Glamour magazine does:
Hey! It's ok!
I love articles that I can hardcore relate to, especially when they're in beauty magazines. Let's be honest, most of the stuff in Glamour magazine is pretty unobtainable for me. This series however, really speaks to my soul. Since I know we can all use a little pep talk once in a while, allow me to highlight some of my not-so-fine moments in the past few days. Hopefully this will make you feel better about your life, because that's really my goal here. Just promise me one thing: no judgements!
... to rock a topnot and a 'no make-up' make-up look every day because you're too darn exhausted to do anything else
... to spend $20 on takeout lunch because you're tired, and starving, and sweaty, and your feet hurt, and you're just so OVER IT (#dontevencare)
... to lock yourself out of your apartment (twice...in the same day)
... to stay in on Friday night eating Oreos and watching random YouTube videos
... to go buy new, clean underwear because you ain't about that laundry life
... to base your order at a restaurant strictly on how good it will look in an Instagram photo
... to jam out to old school Britney and Christina on the way to work
... to rock a Freida Kahlo vibe because getting your eyebrows done is really expensive
... to have a little bit (ok, a lot) of sidewalk rage
... to blow off all your work and just go shopping (retail therapy, anyone?)
... to skip the gym and just drink a green juice (it's actually the same thing)
... to 'accidentally' hit the door close button the elevator instead of door open (I'm actually a terrible person)
... to buy a J. Crew blazer and then fall asleep at work the next day because you can't afford coffee (#priorities)
... to not watch a single game in the World Cup. You'll catch it next year, right? Oh wait...
... to just lock yourself in the bathroom and cry it all out (been there, done that)
But hey, it's not ok to constantly chew yourself out over the little things. This, my friends, is something I've learned this summer. Build yourself a bridge and get over it. I'm pretty inspiring, aren't I? All jokes aside, be prepared to see a lot more from me! I'm officially back on the blogging bandwagon and things are about to get cray.
Hope you all have a fabulous holiday weekend!
