Marvelous In My Monday

Hiiiiiiii! I’m pretty happy today for various reasons (one of those reasons is definitely not the fact that it’s only going to be in the 30s today… -__-). Not amused by the temps. Anyway, I had a great weekend. It was way more low-key than last weekend, which was fine by me, but still a lot of fun. This Marvelous Monday (hosted by Katie as usual!) is going to be a little random, so bear with me.

1. OKAY first of all, remember when I said Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis were engaged and I was all “Yesssssss ‘That 70s Show’ perfection!!”? Well apparently they are expecting a baby now! Whaaaaat. My celebrity dreams are coming true.

2. I saw Divergent on Friday!! I haven’t read many other reviews, but I thought it was very good for a book adaptation. I was most impressed by the music in the film – it was honestly spot on. They had some Ellie Goulding in there, along with other bass-heavy music which fit so well. One complaint I did have was Four and Tris’s relationship. In the book they were so awkward, but their relationship in the movie was pretty spicy. I kind of missed hating on Tris’s cluelessness.

3. Saturday I hung out with my friend Lauren all day! I haven’t had an entire day with her in a while, so I really enjoyed myself. We met up with her boyfriend after being out all day for some diner food, and I had a fabulous omelette. I didn’t take a picture of it, though, so you’ll have to just deal with our selfie.

4. I’m kind of obsessed with avocado toast á la Goop (Gwyneth Paltrow). All you do is put a little veganaise on toast and top it with avo. It’s amazing. The veganaise is just a little tangy so it balances out well with the avocado. Wish I had a picture… soon I’ll take a selfie with it to officially proclaim my love.

5. I’m currently on the third week of The Fitnessista’s Winter Shape Up plan. It’s killer and awesome and I love it.

6. Yesterday I participated in Arman’s Spill It Sunday link-up. It was all about carbs and really interesting for me to think about as I wrote.

7. I have two birthday shout outs! One goes to the lovely Kaitlyn, whose bday is today! I am so happy I was able to meet someone from Pittsburgh at OU who I became so close to. I love ya, girl!!

Second, Emily! My bestie. Happy birthday (yesterday!). You mean the world to me, and I cannot imagine growing up without you. XO

That’s all I’ve got for you today! Please update me on your lives because I feel really behind.

Questions of the Day:
>> Did you see Divergent yet?! What did you think?
>> What’s your current workout or food obsession?

Ohhhhh Monday. It snowed about six inches here overnight, so today is definitely feeling like a slow Monday. We don’t have classes until noon because the roads are terrible. I’m hoping that everyone takes it easy on the drive to school, work, etc. today.

Did you watch the Super Bowl last night? I was not impressed with the game (uh a total snoozer) and the commercials. I only really laughed at the Doberwawa Audi commercial – that one with the tiny dogs with big heads. You know the one I mean? Cracked me up. I also liked the halftime show, minus the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Don’t hate me for saying that. They just didn’t mesh with the feel of Bruno.

What my eyes were on most throughout the game was actually social media. I was interested in what every brand was doing for the big game, and I thought about each campaign as I saw it unfold. #nerd. If you didn’t see JCPenney’s major fail… go check it out. Long story short, people misunderstood their ploy and thought the Tweeter was drunk.

Annnnnyway, it’s Marvelous Monday with Katie and I want to share my one favorite of the weekend and some motivation with you!

Yesterday, my roommate and I took a little road trip to Columbus to get a breather from Athens. It can be a little constricting to be in a small town all the time! We stopped at Trader Joe’s, VSX (Victoria’s Secret Sport), and Lululemon! I spent the gift card Emily got me for Christmas and bought a super sping-y tank from Lulu. I can’t wait to wear it! I am no longer just the Lulu headband girl (I had two).
