The Journey Begins.

Sun In in my hair x2= check.
Freaking dark tanning lotion= check.
Randomly eating apples and forcing myself to eat vegetables= check.
Also eating pizza and cake and root beer floats= check.

One of these things is not like the other. Whoops.

Operation Goddess.

I was recently inspired by hearing a story from my friend. She informed me that a mutual friend of ours was attempting to lose weight. This particular friend looks great already...but when questioned as to why he is currently doing this, he responded with "because I want to look like a god."

I completely approve of this reasoning and have decided that I would like to be a goddess myself.
So I have turned it into a little project.

OPERATION GODDESS.


"I'm your Venus, I'm your fiiire..."



My friend Celeste is being a goddess with me. :) If she decides to blog about it, I'll put the link to hers HERE. :)


After drinking hot chocolate and eating a brownie in my Spanish class this evening, I made the decision to eat healthfully for the rest of the day/as long as I can keep this up.

This meant eating a bowl of olives and various assorted beans for dinner and stealing an apple and 3 oranges from dhall. (I was going to take two, but had to go back and get a third so that I could juggle them.)



I have decided to start eating gross things like fruit. and vegetables. and not eating desert. I don't know how long this will last.

Of course, I could not simply decide to turn myself into a goddess by merely changing my eating habits. That's incredibly boring. So...WAL-MART TRIP!!!



Celeste and I headed to Wal-Mart and I purchased these things:
1. Self-Tanning Lotion.
2. Sun In.
3. Nail Clippers (just because I needed them).
4. Nail Decals (what is a goddess without obnoxious teeny-bopper flowers on her nails!?)

SELF-TANNING LOTION:
- I will take this week to see how tan I can get. Literally. I also did not purchase the "Light/Medium" shade like an intelligent person might. I bought "Deep Dark Color". On purpose. Watch out.
- Why not just go spray-tanning? I'll tell you:
* Spray tanning is too easy. I like to do things the difficult, time-consuming way.
* It costs less and I have too many parking tickets to pay.
* Spray tans are for biddies, tanning lotion is for goddesses.


NAIL DECALS:
- They're so fun.
- I'm too lazy to actually exert effort to make my nails look nice... so instead I will slap colorful stickers on them and call it a day.

SUN IN:
- I was once told never to use this. This is exactly why I have purchased it. (Also, I want blonder hair.) I'm excited.

So, in essence, I have decided to have fun with this and attempt to goddess-ify myself by using all of the products that no one should ever purchase.

And so it begins...

Craft Night Gone Wrong.

Okay, so it's a weekend and you think to yourself: I want to do something relaxing tonight.

Recipe for Destroying Any Amount of Relaxation You Had Intended Upon Having:

1. Decide to create an at home do-it-yourself hair mask.
2. Do not use a recipe for said mask, and instead dump random amounts of milk, olive oil and lemon juice into a bowl.
3. Decide that putting dried pieces of black tea into the mixture would be fun and spa-esque.
4. Pour the mask onto your hair.
5. Realize that the pretty pieces of tea are now entangled in your hair.
6. Spend the time you were supposed to be relaxing picking leaves off of your head.
7. Enjoy. :)
