I have had no motivation lately. No motivation to eat, no motivation to exercise, and certainly no motivation to blog. But, seeing as today is Monday, it’s the start of a new week and a better me. I need to get my shit together and start living life with a purpose. So, clearly I need to start by posting my six things I love for last week!
1. Bloody Marys
Why? This last week, I have drank more than I care to admit, and I have been consistently waking up with excrutiating hangovers. Luckily for me (not so much for my liver), I love tomato juice and I have taken it upon myself to learn how to make a bomb-ass Bloody Mary. So delicious, and my throbbing head always thanks me afterward. (P.s. Don’t judge me. You were all young once.)
2. Balconies
Why? Okay, I know this seems like a weird one. Like, what’s so special about a balcony? Let me tell you. I used to live in an apartment without one, and I’m a smoker. Also, did I mention I lived on the fifth floor? Although my legs were super toned by the end of the year, I hated walking down and up all those stairs just to have a cigarette. I know a lot of you are thinking, “What a good reason to quit!” Trust me, I tried. Cigarette-less Holly is someone no one wants to be around. Anywho, I’ve been hanging out with a friend who has a balcony at his apartment, and I have come to realize that it’s pretty much a necessity for me the next time I move. The convenience is amazing, and sometimes you would just rather sit outside, cigarette in hand or not.
3. Marshall’s
Why? I just went there today, and I am in love with how cheap it is! My closest store is about 30 minutes from my house, but it is completely worth the drive to get such good deals. I bought the cutest white lace dress from there today for $29.99, originally $65! So amazing.
4. Maxi Dresses
Why? In the spirit of summer, I have taken it upon myself to collect these wardrobe staples. Solid, patterned, neon…you name it, I probably have it. While I do love to show off my legs, sometimes you just need a good maxi dress to switch things up.
5. Color Club’s Age of Aquarius Polish
Why? This is easily one of my favorite summer polishes. So bright and so fun. I have a lot of white and black summer clothes for some reason, so it’s always nice to have that little pop of color on my nails so my overall appearance isn’t too drab.
6. Frame Park
Why? This is easily one of my top five favorite places in the world, which is saying something because I’ve actually been out of the country. It’s about fifteen minutes from my house, and there’s a huge path that stretches around the entire park. I love spending an afternoon walking by the river, visiting the little shoppes down the road, and enjoying the sunshine and good company. So peaceful and beautiful.
Holly, not Hollie
