Crossfit Games

Over the summer I had started going to crossfit classes at the crossfit gym by my house, but haven't gotten to go very much anymore since I started school. This weekend though I was able to go watch the crossfit games that happened at the gym I went to. For those of you that don't know what crossfit is,

"CrossFit describes its strength and conditioning program as “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement," with the stated goal of improving fitness (and therefore general physical preparedness), which it defines as "work capacity across broad time and modal domains."
Workouts are typically short—20 minutes or less—and intense, demanding all-out physical exertion. They combine movements such as sprinting, rowing, jumping rope, climbing rope, flipping tires, weightlifting, carrying heavy objects, and many bodyweight exercises; equipment used includes barbells, dumbbells, gymnastics rings, pull-up bars, kettlebells, medicine balls, and boxes for box jumps."

Check out these photos and videos I took while at the crossfit games this weekend. They can definitely motivate you to  workout, especially since the new year is coming. Start a resolution to get fit and maybe crossfit!

Hello Boys!

I am so sad that the Twilight Series if officially over. Throughout the past several years I have attended the midnight premier for this saga series. Last night I attended the final movie in the sequel, Breaking Dawn Part 2, and it is definitely my favorite one of all! The fight scenes were amazing and Edwards and Bella's love story finally finished with a happy ended. I wish they would have added about another 1 hr 1/2 worth of film, but it was still amazing! I will miss you Twilight, next series I can't wait for is Fifty Shades of Grey, which will be EPIC!!!

Halloween: Loofa!

This year for Halloween my friend came up with the great idea of being a Loofa! 

To create these costumes, we bought about 24 yards of Tull and it into squares. Then we twisted each piece and safety pinned them to two separate spandex pieces, a spandex bottom and and bando top. Then take a rope and tie it around your waist as the string that loofas hang from. Super easy and a fun to create with friends. 

We ended up walking down Mill Ave in our costumes on Halloween and had so much fun, check out the pictures!

Having a Coke with You

Having a Coke with You

is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian
partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt
partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches
partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary
it is hard to believe when I’m with you that there can be anything as still
as solemn as unpleasantly definitive as statuary when right in front of it
in the warm New York 4 o’clock light we are drifting back and forth
between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles

and the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint
you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them

I look
at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world
except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally and anyway it’s in the Frick
which thank heavens you haven’t gone to yet so we can go together the first time
and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism
just as at home I never think of the Nude Descending a Staircase or
at a rehearsal a single drawing of Leonardo or Michelangelo that used to wow me
and what good does all the research of the Impressionists do them
when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank
or for that matter Marino Marini when he didn’t pick the rider as carefully
as the horse

it seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience
which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I am telling you about it

Reading For Hours

Reading has become by new obsession since this past summer. After I read the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy and falling in love with the mysterious and desirable Christian Grey. Ever since then my mother and I have joined the reading train and have been engulfed ever since, especially love/romance stories similar to Fifty Shades. I must admit I start to feel like i am apart of the story and feeling everything that the characters are, I love it!

My recent reading List:

Rebecca Donovan:

• Reason to breathe 
• Barely Breathing 

Tammara Webber:

• Easy

Barbara Elsborg:

• Strangers 

Nicole Williams:

• Crash
• Clash 

Jamie McGuire: 

• Beautiful Disaster 

S.C. Stephens

• Thoughtless
• Effortless

Colleen Hoover

• Slammed
• Point of Retreat

Samantha Blair

• Generational Sins

The Big 20

20, you are no longer a teenager, but still not old enough to drink lol. Every year for my past birthdays I have had something planned, from tea parties to trips or big pool time bashes. But this year was different my birthday is in two day, August 14th, and I have decided to go have a Benihana dinner with my family. My close girlfriends keep telling me "you actually have nothing big planned" or "wow I am shocked you don't have a party planned." 
Of course I have only had set on my milestone of 21. Which will consist of a huge, excited, and wild trip to Las Vegas. I know cliché but hey it’s a traditional cliché. But to not do dishonest to my birthday here are the other things I had to do to celebrate my departure from teenager and my welcome to young adult. 
So I had a fun gossip night with one of my best friends, which also consisted of wine and cheesecake (one of my favorite desserts). This seems like an appropriate celebration, wine equals adult and gossip/dessert is teen. Finally my mom is treating me to a spa day, which indulges a massage, facial, lunch, and shampoo/hair styling. I believe this is the perfect 20th birthday treats. 

Packing Away

I have always known that I am a over packer, and now as I continue to pack to move, once again I am reminded of my over packing problem.  This pile only consist of decorating decor, bedding, some bathroom stuff, and some laundry cleaning stuff. So this means no clothing, which I have a lot of, and shoes. Also the rest of my hygienic products and lets not forget about groceries and kitchen products. Tomorrow I will be moving this pile of stuff to my apartment, wish me luck!

Moving Hassles

Getting ready to move back to my apartment by campus will once again be a hassle. Well I mean, I love the part of decorating my new room with photos, posters, and color coordinating my closet. But first you must get through the "hassle" of packing everything up, carrying and making it all fit in my car, and then moving it up to the second floor of my apartment building in 110 degree Arizona weather.  Like I said this is the MOVING HASSLES. At least I have my mother once again to endure with me in this tiring event. 

But, I have been looking up different apartment room ideas of how I should possibly decorate my room. Here are the ideas I am shuffling around: 

-A large fashion poster hanging above my bed.

-Twinkling lights aligning the ceiling

-A huge "Keep calm and carry on poster" on another wall section.

Just throwing around thoughts, any ideas to help me out?

Well ciao my lovely followers,

S (the girl dreading the moving process)
