Current Obesssion

Yoga.

Yes. Yoga. I have been avoiding it for I think well over a year now. My friend has been recommending that I take a class with her because I am consistently telling, (more like complaining) of my back problems, tension in the shoulder, etc. She has offered me FREE classes and still I found an excuse. Until one day last week, I was extremely tired/stressed and looked up, "Yoga To the People,"( I always think of, "This is For My People," Missy Elliot), which she had told me about. It was 12:45pm and saw that there was a class at 2pm. I gathered all my things together and ran out the door, hoping to catch a class. I think I broke out in sweat, nervously calculating the travel time and anticipating what the class will entail. I'm a first timer. I made it to class with a minute to spare and a perfect spot in the back.

I must say the class is by far one of the best discoveries I've made this month. All thanks to my great buddy! I came out of the class feeling great! The tension in the shoulders faded. I was revived and rejuvenated! And slept like a baby. I have been preaching yoga the whole weekend and must say, I wish I picked up on it sooner! If you haven't picked up on it, I strongly recommend it.

Gonna Make You Sweat

I can't wait to get my hands on a pair of sweats tailored to perfection (see below). And yes, I would wear them out with heels. (You would too).

Blonde Ambitions

For years, my sister and I have wanted to go platinum and haven't been able to for many reasons. A couple hundred of them being that our parents, more our father would disown us. The closest I've ever come to was getting "ashy" tones in my highlights right before a trip to Acapulco. (It got bleached out in the sun, blondest I've ever been). He almost had a heart attack and didn't/wouldn't recognize me at the airport.

My interest has faded but my sister's has not. She has been rather persistent in her quest to being a blonde Korean. I think it's hilarious.

This morning, she sent over a link of Daul Kim, (model) who went platinum. I think this may bring her one step closer. [Series to be continued].

I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller...

I've come to realize and accept the fact that I don't have the height for a lot of the looks I like to emulate. I came to this realization while trying on a winter coat at CO-OP and I wanted my hood to lay a certain way. The ever so kind sales associate looked me dead in the eye and said, "Sweetie, I hate to say this, but you're too short for that look." (And that was me with a good 3"heel).

If I was just a little bit taller...
