Run Santa Run?

Every year Matt and I sign up to run a 5K together.  This year is no different - we signed up for the Santa Run in Greenwich Park.  My husband is an avid runner and I think this is his attempt to get me into running.  I should probably preface this by saying I am NOT a Runner.  I would rather do 3 hours of bootcamp than run.  I am not sure why but I hate it.  I'll train for about a month or two, run the race and then go back to NOT running.  This happens every year, just a constant cycle of me hating life for 2 months..ha!  As we were signing up, I was thinking I get to where I can run 3.2 miles under 30 minutes and quit?!!  Why, because I hate running?  It honestly makes no sense- I put in hard work to just let it go and start all over the next year.  So in my efforts to keep this going I have decided to make it public on my blog.  I will put updates on here, maybe some of our workouts and of course pictures.  Any tips or fun races to run in London would be appreciated :)  

Wish me luck!

Organize it

If I haven't said it enough, you know by now, I am extremely organized.  Whenever I get back from a trip and start unpacking I always find something I need to organize better.  My hair products, makeup and nail polish could use some help.  Here is a little inspiration.

Animal Instincts

Bloggers Do It Better challenge this month is Animal Prints.  When it comes to cheetah and zebra print- I go with accessories.  I have scarfs, a clutch, an ipad case, shoes and 2 belts.  It is an easy way for me to add a little extra to my look.  This summer I purchased a cheetah maxi from Armani exchange and I fell in love with it.  And when it comes to fur I go faux! I wish I would have had more time to actually take photos of me in my animal prints but with all the traveling and my camera dying - it wasn't possible.  But I took some pictures of some of my favorite animal print pieces and added an old pic of me in my go to scarf.

 Enjoy and go wild with animal prints :)

I'm Home

After 6 flights, 3 states and 1 country I am finally home.  Sorry the blog post were lacking, I was trying to soak up every second I could get with my family.  It was sad to say goodbye but I will be back for Christmas.

Can you believe it's October?  Crazy..huh?!  It is one of my favorite months, fall is in the air and Halloween is one of the best holidays.  I love a good costume and any excuse to eat large amounts of sugar.  But my favorite is scary movies.  I usually do 31 days of scary movies but this year I will be without the hubs for most of it so decided to for-go it.   I put a list of some of my favs - I had to include some classics.  Check em out for a Spooktacular night :)
