Tuesday Randoms…

Today is my first day of school for this semester!! To celebrate that I did a little blog redesign last night!! Let me know what you think!!

I am ridiculously excited about school this semester. After a difficult semester last spring I took the summer off. I needed that break and now I am PUMPED to go back!! I am only taking three classes this semester versus my normal four. One of them is a six hour class so I am still taking 12 hours. However that means I have to take 15 hours the next 2 semesters and summer classes in order to graduate next December. I can do it!! I will just need to buckle down and learn some serious time management!

What I really need is a good planner. I have used Erin Condren planners in the past but they are just too big!! Any suggestions on a good planner?! I am taking any and all suggestions!!

I don’t know why but my back has been killing me lately. It usually hurts after work but I have been off work the past couple weeks. I have been using my Plexus Fast Relief Cream and that helps soooo much but I really need to figure out the cause. I do yoga at home and that makes it feel better but I think I need to find a class and go once or twice a week. Any central Arkansas peeps that know of a good yoga class help a sister out please!!

Sophie has been sleeping in my pile of clean laundry on the couch. While I think this is cute I also think that means I need to fold said laundry and put it up…what can I say, I’ve been busy!

Y’all, I haven’t been to Target in at least two weeks. That has got to be a record for me. I need to remedy this ASAP!!

I am almost ashamed to admit that I am obsessed with Kim Kardashian’s app, Kim Kardashian’s Hollywood. I am almost a B level celebrity!! HA! Please tell me other people play this crazy game too!!

I got a blowout last week in Little Rock. It was no DryBar (no mimosas or Rebekah or Jenn or Kim) but it was pretty fabulous!! I went to this really cute little place called Dry and Dash in the Heights and I got the best head massage of my life there. Seriously though, the BEST. I also loved my hair after…it was solo soft and actually lasted TWO days!!

Wish me luck today!!! And I’m still up for suggestions on planners and yoga in central Arkansas!!

    Here’s to an awesome first day of classes! I’m totally one of those school-loving people that would be a professional student if I had a trust fund. I LOVE the first day of classes, the studying, meeting new people, and hearing new things. Call me crazy, right?!? :)

    My favorite planner was one by Lilly Pulitzer. I always had the larger one because I have giant handwriting, but it also comes in a pocket sized. Highly recommended!

    Have a great first day! I love your updated blog – it’s very streamline and simple; which I think is so easy to read because my eye isn’t going in a thousand directions :)
