Age = Allergies
Oh man... sorry for the lack of posts! I have been having some strange reactions to things that I never reacted to before!
Just the other day, I went to visit my girlfriend and her hubby and they have two ginormous kitties! I love cats! I grew up with cats my whole childhood! But just recently. And I mean, really recent. I started to become allergic. Every time I go visit them, I start sneezing and my eyes get itchy, my nose starts a marathon, and I get a nasty sore throat. The first time this happened, I thought I was catching a cold so I went home early and went to bed and felt just fine the next day. The second and third time I went over... I realized it was a reoccurring theme. I was pretty saddened by it because that would limit my hang time :( What's weird is that I never had this happen at their place before...
Yesterday, I had a really strange reaction to my own perfume! I sometimes wear Ralph Lauren Romance and switch between a few (my ultimate favorite being Marc by Marc Jacobs Lola). But yes, yesterday, my Romance really did me in. I was sneezing non-stop, was all stuffed up, and starting to become miserable. My boss finally sent me over to CVS across the street to get myself some Claritin. Mind you, I've never been allergic to anything ever... nor have I taken Claritin. I got a box of 10. It was the 24 hour relief box. I figured, "Hmm, the 24 hour one is only $3 more than the 12 hour box. I could get double the coverage for $3 more!" Yes, that's me... always looking for the most economical deal I can get. So anyway, took a pill and it worked! Made ALL my symptoms go away. But it gave me new ones. Let's just say that I feel like I had one too many drinks, the world looked so much more glossy, really dry mouth/throat, and I could not sleep for more than 4 hours at a time last night. My boss said, "For your first time taking a new drug, don't get the most potent one..." Oops.
Please learn from me. Sometimes the "extra value" isn't always worth it. On a happier note, I'm feeling a lot better!

Willpower
I really admire Kendi for her ability to stay shop-sober! I have lately had a problem with buying things here and there. Whether it's some new pants, a skirt for work, tops, accessories... you name, I go and get it! Of course me being the girl shopper that I am... I try to find things for less. And I will. But the point of the matter is that I need to just stop. Take a break. And save some money.
I really need to look into my closet and filter out the things that I truly won't wear anymore and just get rid of it. And also look for things that I CAN still wear that maybe I've forgotten about and how I can "recycle" and mix it up. Almost like what Kendi is doing in her 30 for 30 Remix!
What made me suddenly inspired? Well, I need to save money. I'm going to Napa this weekend and will probably be spending a lot of money on wine tastings...
And! I am going to Miami in August! I am soooo excited! So, not only do I have to stay shop-sober, but I also have to get back into shape. I've um... let go a bit. And I hide it well with clothes... but in the land of perfect plastic, I want to make sure that I don't stand too far out from the crowd. I also need to tan it up some! I recently picked up Jergen's Natural Glow Firming Lotion so hopefully that helps me darken up some. I am very hesitant about going to tanning salons.. even though I am jealous of how white (or yellow, ha!) I still am compared to my co-workers, who pay visits a couple times a week.
Here's a "before" picture:
So pray for me for the following things:
1. Shop-sober
2. Get fit (even though I should do this all the time)
3. Darken up!
