Hey guys! Phew, what a busy month and a half it's been. Since I feel like I've been slacking on the blogging spectrum, I'll catch you up to speed. Due to technical issues (i.e my laptop finally blew up on me) and trying to just blog from work, it hasn't been working. Okay, so anyone that works with family knows that when you're at work, your off time and break time is not really being off nor a break. Try to hide in the break room, you might but countless distractions and interruptions make it nearly impossible to focus on just about anything. Don't get me wrong, I love it but it can be difficult to get much done...at all.
Also, my sister moved in with me! That was exciting and has been fun doing sisterly things like moving furniture around, unpacking boxes, getting dinner and donuts and all.
I also had a birthday.
Then I spent 8 days in Los Angeles, which was spectacular (don't worry, I'll post about my trip). I've been known to spend a few hours at the gym per day, so leading up to the trip, I was spending a little bit more time at the gym than the norm. I mean, come on...Everyone in California is beautiful and living that healthy lifestyle. After being there for a second time, that assumption still holds true.
Within the past few months, I've taken up yoga and pilates, which I love so going to classes along with my normal cardio sessions, personal fitness is a large priority of mine. Due to said technical difficulties, I'm actually currently writing this on the elliptical machine. So, hi from the gym!
After spending 8 days eating, shopping and getting all inspired jaunting around LA, I took a red eye flight back, touching down in lovely STL at 5 am. Napping on a plane and a 2 hour time difference may not seem like much but it messes with your schedule more than you would think. Thursday night, I was eating dinner at 10:30 pm, still being in that West Coast time zone. (In case you're wondering, my dinner was a Sloppy Joe done from Strange Donuts with some tater tots. I wasn't too upset with that being my first meal back).
As if that wasn't enough to throw your sleep out the window and put exhaustion in full gear, we had a surprise 30th birthday party for my BFF's hubby (so Of COURSE there was a huge celebration on Saturday) and then my bestie for life competed in Alive Magazine's Top Chef Burger Battle on Sunday.
Last but not least, we announced that we're expanding Style Your Space. This exciting new adventure is basically the icing on the cake for all the chaos I came back to.
Due to seemingly never ending social obligations, working my little tail off, unpacking, getting back in to my normal gym routine, and lack of reinforcing my attempt to get more organized, it's clear to see that blogging has taken a back seat. This week, I'm determined to get back in the swing of things and post more of what I've set out to blog about.
For now, I'll leave you with a photo I snapped on vacation, since I feel this one is especially fitting.
xoxo,
Allison
