Run Baby Run!

Today I had a not so great run. To be honest I was so sore from the beginning and I knew this was going to be one of the hardest runs I have done in a while. I pushed through it and came out fairly strong after about a mile into my run. Now I'm just hydrating my body with lot and lots of water :)
So here is what I learned from my run today
1) I'm so glad I stretched before hand this run today.
2) Wearing your favorite running gear can help turn your run.
3) Ice packs are my new BFF oh yeah!
4) A crappy run can only mean a great run in my near future

So now I'm just relaxing and eating some yogurt and watching the men's gymnastics and the men's swim team compete in the Olympics 2012. A great way to end a busy day.  

What Olympic sport is your favorite? I love all of them ;)

My new journey: Running

So for the past few months (6 months to be exact) I have taken up running as my way of exercising. I am a amateur and have never really wanted to run other than in High school when I did a year of track and field. As I began this journey I realized that deep deep deep down there was something that I really enjoyed about running. The fact that you can loose yourself in a mile and just think of you and the trail ahead. I love that I can escape my busy life of a student and a now a full time employee in 30 minutes. I know this sounds cheesy but I truly do love to feel my feet hit the pavement/ treadmill band.

I have decided to train for a 5K in October. I have never really done one before and I am still really new to running. I have my good days and some bad days but the trill of completing a race excites me. I want to  be able to document my struggles, my accomplishments and my new love for others to get inspired.

If you know of any running blogs please let me know? I love reading others stories and how they have handled different situations when it comes to running.


until next time,

I'm Back

Welcome to a new and inspired blog! I know I have been M.I.A. but I have a good excuse, I graduated from college and got my BSW. Now that I have spare time I have been reading other blogs and it has made me miss my own blog. I wanted this post to be light and not too heavy, so here are my top three favorite things at the moment. Then I will talk a little bit about how I feel being a college graduate :)

1) My navy toms in classic. How did I just buy a pair?

2) My arm candy (BaubleBar, F21 pearl and India bangle)

3) My new re-vamped board that hangs on top of my desk. (Pictures from DC, Old family pics and other keepsakes)

Just looking at these things make me happy considering that I am freaking out about getting a job. Long story short I applied, had a interview and I should be hearing back if I got the job or not tomorrow. Ahhh I am a nervous reck and I need to vent, SORRY. Being a college graduate should be something that you normally would feel great, but at least for me it has made me realize that I lack hobbies and have too much time on my hands. People keep telling me that all of that will change once I get a job, but but I would rather have a job and no time at all so I feel sane. I'm just a control freak and need things that occupy my time. How do you all deal with extra time (okay, not many people don't have spare time but humor me) Hasta Pronto, Michelle

New Year: New Beginnings

I feel like I have neglected this part of my life.
Writing has never really been something I feel I am good at.
So I find it funny that I have this Blog.

Well I wanted to let everyone that cares :D
That on Jan 8th I will be going to Washington, DC to finish up
my last semester as a undergraduate student YAY!
I will be doing my practicum in a vibrant yet foreign city.
I will embark on this new experience with two suite cases and a box
and hope that this experience will make me a better person
and help my professional career.

In case you didn't know I am getting my BSW (Bachelors in Social Work)
I know DC is going to teach me things I cannot learn
in where I am.
I can only hope that I don't loose the energy and drive that I am taking.

So what does this mean for my youtube and my blog...
Good question.
I guess I will try to post videos on youtube and blog about my adventures.
I hope you all can come on this wonderful adventure with me

Much love,
-Nyrmirez (Michelle)

Sephora: Give Me Some Lip Kit

Recently I went into Sephora and I found this little lip kit
that I thought would be perfect to add to my collection.

This kit includes:
-Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick in Celebutard (0.042 oz)
-Lancome Juicy Tube Jelly in Rasberry Ice (0.33 fl oz)
-Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Leslie (0.07 fl oz)
-Smashbox Lip enhancing Gloss in Fame (0.14 fl oz)
-Tarte Lipsurgence Natural Lip tint in Moody (0.05 oz)
-Benefit Benetint Lip & Cheek Stain (0.13 fl oz)

You can purchase this online or at your local Sephora

As you can see you get six fairly decent size products for $25.00

Benefits Benetint
is a red/dark pink cheek and lip stain that gives you a nice natural flush on your cheeks and lips. This is such a great product to use on a daily basis or under a red lipstick.

Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish
is a light pink plumping gloss with shimmer. You can definitively feel the plumping kick in as soon as you apply it. It gives you the most weird tingle and smells very sweet.

Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss
is a very noticeable pink. It goes on a little bit muted from what it appears but it still gives you enough color to have nice pink lips. This gloss has very subtle shimmers and it does not have any special smell to it.

Lancome Juicy Tube Jelly
is a very shimmery light pink gloss. This gloss definitely does not shy away from the glitter in the light it will instantly make your lips look shimmery and a bit fuller. The best part it smells like Raspberry.

Tarte Lipsurgence Natural Lip Tint
is a very build able dark red lip color. Depending on how red/dark you want to go you can use this lip crayon to make it happen. It gives you a shiny lip color and it is very hydrating.

Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick
is a very nude lipstick. A little bit too nude for my skin tone. It makes me look dead. I have worn this with Lancome's juicy tube over it for a more light pink look and love it. If you aren;t someone that has luck with nude shades this might be a hit or a miss. The texture is very creamy and does not apply sheer at all, you can actually see the color.

Uno, Dos, Tres

I have decided to do a weekly post on three things that make me happy.
So starting off I have been obsessed with Nutella hot chocolate.

Second is my glass bowl that I keep my rings in. All the colors look beautiful.

Third thing would have to be my nails I did a modern twist on a classic The french manicure

Hopefully you enjoy this post and I hope to do these every week :D
