Tah-Dah!
Hello! After a long-ish hiatus, I'm back to the blogging scene. Yes, I'm still regularly attending Boot It Up! Fitness and definitely am seeing results. I've lost 25 lbs. total since I started back in October 2009. That means I only have 25 more to go until my goal!
Along with feeling generally better about myself, I've decided to embark on a new financial adventure: mark. cosmetics. You might have heard of Avon's sister company on TV through Lauren Conrad's commercials (which I won't discuss :) or maybe seen one of the magalogs--a magazine/catalogue combo-- laying around in your friend's house. Well, I've decided that I need to become financially successful on my own and want to try to sell mark.!
If you want to be added to my customer mailing list, send me a private message with your e-mail. If you just want to shop, check it out here! I'm only going to do this if people are interested, so let me know what you think :)

The past year has been trying, as I'm sure you can tell by the half-witted reflections of posts prior. It's been so trying, in fact, I've decided to change my life completely, though caution is not being tossed into the wind. I haven't felt very creative as of late, which is driving me nuts. There is something on the tips of my fingers itching to come out but it hasn't yet. Honestly, I'm dying to know what it is.
In my pursuit of a better life, I've decided to go to UTA. I know, I know. Why UTA? Why now? Well, why not? There's a good chance of me getting a full ride to the school, and an even better chance of me being able to live on campus because its much more affordable there than say, oh, SMU. While SMU has always been my dream school, it will remain just that--a dream. Pragmatic decisions must be made at this time in my life.
Honestly, I can't say I know what I want to do with my life. I've been feeling an itch to act, sure, create, write, and teach. We'll see which of these things pan out.
But I do know one thing: I must buy a pair of high-heel shoes because my flats are worn out and about to kill me.
Happy new year.

see related'Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be
I haven't blogged in awhile because of all the demons I've been fighting with. Depression, loneliness, feelings of failure and unworthiness, hate, anger, greed, lust, gluttony, and fear have been ruling my life for the past couple months. Even when things get better, there is a part of me that feels hopeless, that all this life is is a precursor of what is to come.
Even so, I know its not the right thing to sit idly by and watch my life melt away. I could complain all day about my faults and insecurities, the things I could have accomplished but was too lazy or afraid to, the times where I actually had a chance but acted odd because I was afraid of what people would really think of the true me. I'm still scared; but if you don't take chances how boring is life?
I have completely ignored God's cultural mandate set before mankind to create, love, live, and be free from all insecurities and the old self. I cannot let my self get in the way of God's will for me any longer. I can be an artist and worship God; I can write, act, live, shop, love, everything and worship and give my life to Him. How I've been living my life is a disgrace to Christianity and to my God who I serve.
Resolutions come at the first of the year, but why can't they come towards the end? Ultimately you'll just get a head start on all the others trying to reform their life.
I'm starting now and I hope things will never be the same.

BOOT CAMP. Month 2.
I am currently on the second week of my second month of bootcamp. It's quite awesome, and I'm a lot stronger and agile than I used to be, to tell the truth. The only problem is I gained back some weight, which is slowing me down a tad. More than anything, though, it's generally frustrating.
Because of my family stress and issues, I have decided to go to counseling for eating disorders and general anxiety and depression. I hope to God that these things will sort themselves out somehow. I'm tired of worrying about others opinions constantly (even people who comment on my Xanga posts who I don't even know), my monetary stresses, and life stresses in general.
I kind of regret making this stupid named blog because I really want to just write about my life, not just becoming a "girl" or whatever. Perhaps I'll just go back to @christine_is

see relatedStaples In Your Closet
So in my journey of here of trying to be fabulous, clothes play a big part in that. While I'm not ready to drop any significant amount of money on good quality items, like those from Nordstrom, Banana Republic, or Macy's (are they still considered high class even though they're in every mall now?), I want to make sure I have a list of clothes to look out for to rebuild my new, amazing wardrobe.
According to a 2007 article on Associated Content lists the staples every girl or guy needs in the wardrobe according to the wonderful TLC show "What Not to Wear". Their list includes:
- black and brown dress shoes
- black and brown dress coat
- black pencil skirt (girls)/black dress trousers (guys)
Those seem kind of common sense to me. I think even my own mom has those things in her closet, and she has no intention of being fabulous or trendy.
Are there more staples for a good, solid wardrobe? What do you consider your own staple that you must have?
