IT'S NEW

     
       
"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." 
-Socrates 

This is, in fact, how I feel. Over the last two months I feel like my life has been overwhelmed with change (all good change), and still is. The only thing that's kept me from being completely frenzied is focusing all of my energy on building the new. It been wonderful to see all the beautiful things that have come out of it, and all of the loathsome things that have become beautiful.

I ordered THE pink egg beautyblender, that so many of you have been talking about. I've heard it was made by the hands of baby angels themselves, and can't wait to try it out- Be assured that you will be hearing more on this subject after they arrive.

For all of you fitness buffs(literally): Training for the old Half-Marathon is going well, I'm getting to end of week 4 (of 12). Today is my first 5 mile run, not too shabby for me. I bought myself a little "congratulation's you're doing awesome Alyssa" gift- A pair of Zara sweats for running, now that the temperature has dropped. (I also bought a pair of trainers [not for running], and coated leggings, which is all non-related, just exciting.) Yes. I felt it was needed. Feel free to mock me on this subject, I would.

As most of you may know we had a giveaway on the blog Monday-Wednesday. Thank you, to my four wonderful entries. Smile. You're awesome. Andddddd, we have a winner- Jennifer J. was the lucky draw!!

Also, I'm dying to get my hands on a sewing machine. I was thinking of getting a Brother. Do you have a favorite old faithful?

OCTOBER


Hello my dearest friend October (A few days late)! Fall is almost here and it's time to start layering, why not include a backpack? This one definitely lightens the mood of most outfits, which is good for my tendencies toward a dark color pallet. Also, did I mention that it's the perfect size??! I've had such a hard time finding one that hold everything I need it to. particularly a laptop and a few text books. It fits a laptop with plenty of room to spare for books! I spent my day going through my closet emptying out all of the "extras" and paring down to my favorite pieces. This is something I hope to continue doing consistently, considering.. let's be honest here.. It make getting dressed way easier.

This Friday was my first day of a 12 week training for a half marathon. I went for a little barefoot run on the beach, (though it sounds blindly enchanting) I came crawling home with blisters on both feet- tomorrow will be interesting.

Backpack: Urban Outfitters (It's crazy on sale right now too!!)
