Well, I'm here! I've been here for almost two weeks and since the plane touched down, I've been more busy than ever!

This might give you a good idea of where I am... no? I moved to Florida and I now work for Walt Disney. And if you've read my bucket list, you'd know that this was a big one on there. Working for Disney has been my dream job for as long as I can remember. Even now, almost two weeks later, it still feels surreal!

But the weirdest thing... 

Rapunzel: What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?

Flynn: It will be.

Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?

Flynn: Well, that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.

This experience so far has been everything I've ever wanted and more. But where do I go from here? I have dreams to stay with this company and I have dreams to move to NY and work for a publishing company. This step has just proved to me that if I want it enough, I can make my dreams come true. And isn't that what Walt has been saying this whole time?

I have a few posts in mind for next week (when I have a day off to just BLOG my heart out) and there's a lot of exciting new things to try out this year. I'll try my best to be more active here, I miss you guys!

I hope you're all doing well and that your new year is already amazing!

I was going through my Google Reader and I found someone posted this link.

I think it's pretty lame when people have so much time on their hands that they feel the need to bash other people. But to make an entire site out of it? I never really understood why people hated on guru's. I'm sure they worked hard to get where they are, well, most of them anyway (I say some because I remember when Holly had 3 videos and over 10k subs. I'm not hating, I'm just saying. I actually really like her videos). And I really never understood why when they're sponsoring a product they're considered to be "selling out". 

I'm part of many communities that review products. Everyday products, books and makeup. And out of the three, it seems that in the makeup community it's the only place that you're likely to get bashed if you're sponsoring a product. All other communities don't really mind that much. You always have the choice to buy or not buy something. Maybe the reviewer did find the product to be better than a high end product. I know I prefer ELF brushes over MAC ones, but I know not everyone feels that way. 

This is part of the reason why I stopped doing videos, I always felt like I had to dress up to do one video. I had to do something this way or that way. Justify this product over that product and it was just too much energy. And it didn't feel welcoming. I know most of my friends will tell me to ignore all that nonsense and just do what you like doing. But I don't know, after awhile, I just didn't enjoy it anymore.

Which is probably why I changed the name of my blog. I want to review things other than makeup. I still want to show you guys my hauls and rave about something new I fall in love with... but I want to rave about other products I discover or fall in love with (or hate) too. I feel bad for neglecting this blog so much, but my current class has been kicking my ass (Psychology if you're wondering, this is the 3rd time I'm taking it, thank goodness I'm passing this time)! I'll get to go on break in five weeks and believe me, I couldn't be more excited! And of course, the holidays are coming around and that means all the holiday stuff is going to be coming out! Well, some of it is already out, but you know, a more justified reason to buy it :).

Things have gotten really really busy since school started and when you're busy, it's hard to remember to eat right. It's so much easier to get through a Micky D's or Taco Bell drive thru (plus, hello! They're open 24hrs)! I'm horrible with trying to eat healthy but this year, I'm trying to change that. I'm getting older and I need to take better care of myself (especially since I'm prone to everything bad and deadly and my immune system sucks). Plus my husband is starting to really worry about my health lately.

I'm trying to increase my intake of fruits, yogurt and most importantly, water. I'm sure I've mentioned before how much I hate water. It's such a hassle for me to drink it because I hate the taste. Sure, you could say it taste like nothing but to someone who doesn't drink water a lot (or at all), it does have a taste! I'm not too worried about my veggie intake because I'm a huge fan of veggies. I love lettuce! I eat lettuce every single day. Oh and I have to increase my intake of nuts and hard boiled egg! The hard boiled egg is going to be hard, especially since I can't eat a lot of egg at one time. I love nuts (mostly hazelnut, macadamia, walnut and almonds) but sometimes they're not the first thing you reach for when you want a snack...

So I was looking for some healthy snacks the other night. When I stay home all day, I usually don't eat a lot. But I do snack on things so I figured I'd beat the system and stock my room with snacks. I also tend to skip breakfast a lot but I heard that a cup of almonds or a banana in the morning is good enough to get you some energy.

So I found these! Cocoa Roast Almonds (which is delicious) and Tropical Blend Trail Mix (the dried mangoes make my stomach hurt but everything else is good). 

I've also been craving granola a lot lately. I love Panera Bread's fruit parfait! I just wish it didn't cost so much!

One of the things I'm completely utterly obsessed with these days is... Wicked. The musical. I saw it on Sept 12th, 2009 in memory of my grandfather (who I use to watch Return to Oz with all the time, Sept 12th is his birthday) and I fell in love with Wicked! I'm going to see it for my 6th time this weekend. I've also formed a friendship with two of the actors lol. I adore them both, they're two of the most inspiring and positive people ever.

Last Sunday was our main Elphaba's last day, Teal Wicks (and sadly this Sunday is another one of our Elphaba's last day, Vicki Noon who happens to be my favorite Elphaba) so we went to show our support!

There's two things my husband can not get in the way of; highlighting my hair and Wicked! Hehe.

Neka Zang - me - Nicolas Dromard

Witch's mother/ensemble - me - Fiyero

Me & Teal Wicks (and Vicki Noon in the background)

I wasn't ready, husband tried to get both Elphaba's in my pic lol.

Have you seen Wicked? If you did, who was your favorite character?

I try to stay positive online. I try to keep my blog entries positive, my tweets, everything. I spend a lot of time online and as long as I appear to be positive, I can be.

I use to be one of those people who'd constantly be angry and sad or irritated at something, anything and I just don't want to be that person anymore. I don't want to seem anything like that person anymore because I don't believe I am that person.

I've let go of a lot of things in my past that has kept me down. I've forced myself to forget a lot of things that make me angry or sad. I've stopped wondering why that happened to me because sitting here being upset or sad over something that's already happened is pointless. Something that I know the people who have done to me won't give me an answer to because they've forgotten that they've hurt me. So why should I spend all my time worried about it? There are some things in life that just happen. The most you can do about it is take what has happened to you and turn it into an experience. Learn something from it. Grow stronger from it.

We didn't get to do much this Valentines Day since we were broke... in fact, I didn't get Martin anything (and yes, I feel horrible about it)! We agreed to not get each other anything. Which I was fine with. But I had a feeling he was going to break this, even so, I didn't have the time to go out and get him something.

So we agreed to do our tradition... Todai for lunch and that was it. Well, I went to pick him up and he surprised me with this!

He got me the baby orchid I wanted from Home Depot, Pansy flower seeds (I was pointing out flower seeds at Home Depot that were "like in Alice in Wonderland!") and a really sweet card where he wrote a short note saying that even though times are hard, he's happy we're still together. Aww :)

After having lunch at Todai, we walked around the mall and I got to get a MAC lipstick. I got Blankety, I wanted to get Baby Sparks too but they sold out... boo! Then we went to walk around downtown Walnut Creek which was packed! Oh my gosh! We walked around for awhile, just enjoying each other's company and the sunny day. I also got to get an Alice in Wonderland book that comes with Through The Looking Glass too! Yay!

I got this idea from April. One of things I want to do with this blog, is share my own personal life with you guys. So what better way to start than to talk about my husband! As you all know, we got married late last year. So we're still brand fresh newlyweds :).

I wanted to take a moment to ask you something... What in the HECK does your husband do all day? Our blogs are ALL about "Me me me me, I I I I, kids kids kids kids, pets pets pets pets"....it's like we don't even HAVE husbands. But we still put up pictures just to prove we have one.

So...tell me about your husband? What does he do? What is he like? What are his hobbies? If he had the entire day to himself, what would he be doing? What would you force him to do instead? What are his pitfalls? What's awesome about him? You can put it in a COMMENT, or link to a POST about him!

My husband's name is Martin. He's the second oldest out of five children, though he somewhat takes the role of the oldest. He's the most sane out of the five children, I can tell you that. He's, I believe 6ft (I know, horrible, I don't exactly remember anymore). He has naturally curly hair (that bugs the hell out of me, thank goodness he shaves it all off), warm brown eyes, adorable dimples (I love the hell out of his dimples), a smile that make anyone else break out in a smile and scars that all have stories behind them. I love every single scar and mole on his face (especially the scar on his chin that was kinda my fault)!

Hello! If you havent noticed already, I finally bought a domain for this blog! I did end up changing the name. I'm not sure how I feel about this layout, but its just something fresh and new to put up for now (or keep, haven't decided yet).

I'm pretty excited about this change!

And as much as I'd like to say more and fix up the layout and subpages (anyone else totally excited as I am about blogspot adding subpages?!)..... I have to get ready for school. Darn!
