I hope the new year finds you well. We are 5 days in and I've yet to do anything I completely regret so I still have high hopes for 2014. I've also been on vacation since Christmas so I imagine my optimisim will wane quickly when I go back to work on Monday morning. I know it has been nearly 5 months since my last post and I apologize for my silence. Life had become uncharacteristically busy for me and my blog had to take a backseat to real world commitments. Real life sucks. I'd much rather be typing out my dreams and fantasies instead of sitting at my desk at work realizing that 80% of them will probably never come true. Not to fear though I am back and anxious to share stories about the adventures I've been on during the last few months. In true fashion they include several embarrassing moments, personal failures, daily annoyances, epiphanies, and my personal favorite continued rejection from men. I used to think that God was punishing me by allowing me to have all of these embarrassing dating experiences but now I take it in stride. I'm not so unfortunate looking that men wince when they see me, they've never referred to me as crazy or clingy which I think works in my favor, and most importantly the more dates I go on, failures or not, the more opportunties I have to buy and wear fierce outfits that I don't actually need. Basically God is allowing this all to happen for your entertainment so be sure to look up and thank Him when you get a chance. See we all win.
I myself don't normally make any resolutions but I fully support others who do. Weight loss is probably the most popular one and we are all now inundated with hundreds of commercials promising incredible results if we will simply take a pill that may or may not destroy our internal organs, work out nonstop for 5 hours a day, or frolic around a field with Jessica Simpson and her Weight Watchers plan. I have been able to stick with a regular workout routine thanks to Jillian Michaels and her wealth of videos but I always like to keep my eye out on new things to break up the monotony a little because I actually hate working out and contrary to popular belief it makes me sweat not glisten. Rachel Zoe and her team like to come up with a list of chic accessories every now and then to help fashionistas get excited about physical fitness. In her latest email she provided links to 10 different items all sure to make exercise feel fabulous. Although the $135 jump rope was tempting (not at all), my favorite is the Alexander McQueen skull printed towel that I have pictured above. She suggests that you take this along with you to cool down at the gym and it will only cost you a mere $295. Seriously? I guess this is how the wealthy rid themselves of sweat after a workout. If I was going to spend that much on a towel I certainly wouldn't dry my body with it. More than likely I would use it as a throw for my couch to discourage guests from sitting there but I would still brag about that fact that it was designer. Now that I think about it I usually feel like I'm going to die after I finish a Jillian Michaels workout so if I actually do end up dying as a result of a one-handed push up I would like my family to wrap my sweaty corpse in this towel.
