Just another manic Monday...

Today was busy...then not busy....then busy... then random...then I had a pepsi (lent and I may have broken up a little)...then more random...then I was in a good mood...then I came home... and then I was mad.. lol! Sing it with me... Just another manic Monday....

After all that chipper awesome apt talk from yesterday, my landlords went and got all shady mcshade today.. *eye roll* I won't go into it, but I'm glad to be moving b/c they're annoying. (hence the "mad" when I got home...)

See that pic of me below? Oh right.. it's Madonna.. not me.. whatever.. but I'm going to pilates tomorrow at lunch! YAY! Have you pilated? (I just made it a verb....haha.. I entertain myself). I'm hoping I dig it b/c I wasn't a big fan of yoga, but I have a feeling I'll like pilates more. *shrugs* Will advise.
Other random piece of info you didn't need... I love this shampoo/conditioner. LOVE. I was at Ulta having my brows done (I'm opposed to tweezing b/c I think it's inflicting pain on myself) and asked the girl about shampoos/conditioners to strengthen my fine, dyed hair so it would grow longer but also be healthy. She recommended the below so I just got the travel sizes to try...and freaking love it. My hair feels so much healthier and not as dry! Granted, the weather's been improving so I haven't had the heat on full blast, but seriously...I dig this stuff so far. :) And it's not weighing my fine hair down!
Finally in the land of Jackie's randomness today, I have REALLY wanted to go to wine country for um....ever. After a couple emails back and forth, a friend and I are thinking about making it happen this summer! Granted, we'd have to do it on the cheap...but I think it's totally possible! Eric and I have been talking about beaching it up sometime in the fall if we can and if I had to pick one trip over the other, I'd pick beach all the way. But, a girl trip to wine country... um... how can one say no to that if we can get the price right?! If you have any tips, thoughts, recs, definitely appreciated!! :)
Well this was random. Sorry about that. Hope you had a fabtastic Monday! It's raining here, but I'll take some rain over snow ANY DAY! Rain=spring!

Oh I totally wish I could give advice on a wine country trip, but I have never been...BUT I think that totally sounds like the most amazing girls trip ever!

And that Redken shampoo/conditioner is my FAVE. It is amazing!

I hope tomorrow is less Monday-ish :)

I've never done a wine country trip, but it sounds fabulous!! Oh, and I love the phrase "Lent and I may have broken up a little." Too funny!

Mrs EyeCanSee said...

I wasn't a yoga fan either and haven't braved pilates yet. I will be anxious to hear how you liked it!

Annie said...

i really want to try that shampoo and conditioner!!

Unknown said...

Girl, I have been DYING to go to the wine country. One problem...my husband doesn't drink wine. I'm thinking girl's trip! :)

Jenny DB said...

I think you will like Pilates! A better "workout" then Yoga.. great for the core, etc. etc. :)
girls trip to wine country = A-MAZING!

"Julie" said...

Ok so on pilates...Depends on if you're using the reformer or just a mat class. I used to be a personal trainer, and my mom and I are super into yoga. I don't like pilates on the mat, I LOVE it on the reformer...make sense? Prob not, but enjoy!!!

Sierra said...

You should totally go to wine country and that picture totally gets me in the mood!

Have fun with exercising aka pilates and I have never done them so let me know what you think!

That shampoo and conditioner is amazing, I've used it before and it is great!

Leslie @ A Blonde Ambition said...

I've been looking for a new shampoo and conditioner! I'm not naturally blonde, (shhhh, don't tell anyone), and all the highlighting/blow-drying/flat ironing leave my hair feeling like straw.

Take my word for it, you would LOVE wine country. My mom and I did a trip to Napa back in 2007 and loved it!

coffee break said...

I need to try that shampoo! I'm trying to grow mine out, but have the same problem, thanks for the suggestion :)

Mrs. H said...

Wish it were Sunday! I saw the title of your post and automatically starting singing the song!

Love Redkin hair products but you should also try out TIGI's - love love love them! (A tiny bit more:)

Lived With Love said...

I do love pilates!! I've just got a dvd that is 'yogalates' a cross between the two!! Excited to try it at the weekend! xxx

Melissa @ So These Are My Thirties said...

Hey lady, I just gave you the Happy 101 Award on my blog. I love reading your posts :) Have a great day!

Jen said...

I don't have any wine country tips, but it sounds like it'd be an awesomesauce trip!!

Laura and Ryan said...

Girl, one of my favorite trips was to the Napa Valley. It was beautiful and just really fun. I can't remember the name of the places offhand but I'll see if Ryan can remember and I'll shoot you an email.

Windy City Kelley's said...

Napa and Sonoma are really beautiful, you should go. If you want to go on the cheap the places in Sonoma have free tastings most of the time and Napa you may have to pay for tastings...

Sarah @ Preaching In Pumps said...

I loooooove pilates!! It is definitely a great toning work out.

Kelsey @ Seattle Smith's said...

Rain, CHECK. Spring, CHECK!! It's here!!!! xoxo

I'm going to Napa for the first time in a few weeks for a bachelorette party! I can't wait!

Also, I love redken products, though don't buy them as often as I'd like to! I jusr tried yoga for the first time last week and am liking it. I want to try pilates as well!
