Did any of y'all ever watch The Real World on MTV? They had this room in the Real World house called "The Confessional" where the house mates would go to purge their deepest thoughts, like "How many beers can one drink without blacking out?" and "If I bleach my hair twice in one week, will it fall out?"
Anywho, I usually do a random post on Thursdays and I thought it would be fun to do a confession-type post.
Get ready, I'm about to hit you with some truth!
1. I feel like a big, ole failure due to lack of gym going in the past two weeks. I just haven't been motivated. Important things like The Bachelor season finale and 2-for-1 ice cream specials at Sonic have kept me from hitting the elliptical lately. Here's hoping I'll get a much-needed kick in the gym shorts this coming weekend.
2. I may or may not have been eating a chocolate chip cookie while I typed the above sentence.
3. I think I may be looking forward to the honeymoon a teensy bit more than our actual wedding. Don't get me wrong, I am over the moon to be marrying the love of my life, but after all of wedding craziness, a week on the SC coast is just what we'll need.
4. I wear jeans at least 2-3 times between each wash. I swear, I'm not a gross person, but jeans (or mine anyway) just don't get that dirty. Do y'all think that's nasty or do you do it, too?
5. For that matter, I only wash my hair every other day. It's very thick and quite long and it really does look better the second day. Please don't think I'm disgusting.
6. You'll be happy to know that I DO shower daily.
7. I'm now addicted to spray tanning. Got one the day before I went to try on wedding dresses and loved it so much I got one last night. Perhaps Jersey Shore needs a southern castmember?
8. I'm going to Fort Smith with my soon-to-be SIL and my maid of honor tonight to pick up my wedding dress and eat some good food! This may or may not have been the driving force behind my getting out of bed every day this week.
9. I went sans eye-makeup to work yesterday and one of my co-workers said I looked like I was ready for a Top Model photoshoot. She was not being sarcastic and said that she actually really liked the natural look. It totally made my day! I am shallow and compliments like this just please me to death.
10. During Presidential speeches and important breaking news announcements, I usually change the channel. Like, to Real Housewives of OC or Bethenny Getting Married or something. Does this make me vapid?
Wait, don't answer that.
Be blessed, lovelies-
LOVE this post! Hope you are doing well my friend :)
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone in the jeans or hair washing! :) I am a new follower of your blog and think it is fabulous! Perfect start to my morning while scouring through emails!
ReplyDeleteIs Real World still on?
ReplyDeleteTotally with you on the jeans washing. If you washed them every time you wore them you would have to replace your jeans far too often.
First things first, I TOTALLY wear my jeans more than once! I actually often pick them up and think "hmm.. I guess I should wash these now..." haha.. :) And my gym motivation has definitely been lacking. I wish I could wash my hair every other day! Now that I have bangs, I feel like they look greasy if I don't wash at least THEM...and then soap gets in the rest of my hair and I end up washing the whole thing...Blah.
ReplyDeleteLove the eye compliments!! That's so awesome! :) Makes me want to try to take off some of the stuff I put on and go fresh!
(And I'm a lawyer...and still turn off the President sometimes to watch things like E! So it is what it is...haha)
I totally wear my jeans multiple times before I wash them...they dont get that dirty! :)
ReplyDeleteyay for picking up your wedding dress!!! that would motivate me to get up every single day this week too. once you pick up your dress, it is that much more real...or it was for me :)have fun!!
I am the same way with my jeans and hair! And I am definititely guilty of turning the president off and watching some terrible reality tv. As much as I try to pay attention, I just don't have the attention span.
ReplyDeleteI have never had a spray tan because I am so scared of turning orange. Maybe you can post how to properly do a spray tan for all of us first timers!!
ReplyDeleteBahahaha... I'm cracking up over here! I swear we are long lost best friends!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this post! I too wear my jeans a few times in between washing and I was my hair every other day because I too have very long and thick hair! Oh, and whenever anything related to the President comes on I switch the channel... oopps!
ReplyDeleteLove the post! I too have had a problem with hitting the gym lately.
ReplyDeleteI'm so ready for our honeymoon! I'm so excited to get married but wedding planning is so stressful, and I rarely get stressed.
And...I'm guilty of wearing jeans a few time before I wash them again. It's not gross.
It's exciting you're getting your dress soon!!! Have fun!
i'm getting lasik in approximately 4 hours so i haven't been able to wear eye make up today or yesterday and i can't wear it until sunday (!!! ahhh!!) but i'm still waiting for some to compliment my beauty of sans eye makeup! :)
ReplyDeleteI wear my jeans about 3-4 times between washings!! Oh well. Hope you get your gym mojo back soon!
ReplyDeleteHahaha this is great - I also wash my jeans only after wearing them a few times :) and ditto to number 10!
ReplyDeleteThe truth about you is you are adorable! I also believe that jeans can have a few wears and still look brand new/fresh/clean. The same goes for hair sometimes - the second day can be better! XO
ReplyDeleteTotally agree on the jeans. Can't believe your dress came in so fast! I ordered mine in Nov. and it just came in this week. Excited for you!
ReplyDeleteHAHA love your confessions! I may have to try this too.. I'm on the same page as you with the jeans and the hair washing.. we aren't disgusting.. we are saving water! :)

Haha too funny! I think it's normal to wear your jeans more than once (or twice, or even three and four times) before washing them! I do wash my hair every day, but that's just because it tends to get oily, and then my scalp/forehead will break out. No bueno!
ReplyDeleteAnd just want to add that Real World this season is so good!
Great confessions! I don't think ANYBODY washes their jeans without wearing them 2-3 times. And personally I shower every second day or else my skin will fall off from dry itchiness. The climate I live in is sub-dessert, especially in the winter. Zero humidity = parched skin.
ReplyDeleteI turn the channel when something "important" comes on the news too. You're far from Vapid...more like similar to almost everyone else!
I only wash my jeans every 2-3 washes also. I wash my hair every other day but shower every day too... totally not gross, it's practical!
ReplyDeleteHahaha I love this. I confess I LOVED my wedding but it was a lot of work so the honeymoon to me was awesome! I also wear my jeans 2-3 times before washing and have been slacking at the gym. Sigh. One of these days I'll go back. One of these days...
ReplyDeleteLoved this post- I can totally relate! I haven't gone to the gym this week either (I did zumba twice but no gym)...and I might have eaten a whole pack (yes, all 4) of cadbury eggs. I only wash my hair ever other day as well (ok, thats a lie its actually every 3rd day- gasp...but, its long- like hits at my bra strap long, wavy, and blonde (which doesnt show grease the way dark hair does))....and finally, I am wearing "2nd wear" jeans right now and debating if they will work for Saturday or if they are to stretched out and therefore require a wash- ha :)
ReplyDeleteI assumed wearing jeans multiple days was the rule. How else do you get them broken in just right? I wear mine at least 3-4 days in a row. And the Real World was awesome in the first few seasons...now it's lame.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wash my hair every day either! Same goes for jeans, they are meant to be lived in! Good luck with the gym motivation and send some my way! ;)
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are not alone! I try to get at least 3-4 wears in before washing my jeans! I'm always afraid my favorite pairs are going to get worn out faster if I wash them too much! Is that weird? I also always change the channel during political speeches and debates. Real Housewives of course!

ReplyDeleteI am the same way with my jeans. I wear them 2-3 times and then wash. I also will admit that I only wash my hair twice a week. It's long, thick and takes forever to blow dry - and it's not oily. From what I hear it's actually healthier for our hair not to wash every day. As you said, I do shower daily, actually twice. Once in the AM and once after a workout.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about getting a spray tan before my trip to the beach in July. Mostly because I will be kayaking all Spring/Summer and I will have a horrible case of "shorts tan" on my upper legs, not cute.
eee - I'm so excited about your wedding! ox
I am a 1st time commenter...totally agree on the jeans thing,much more comfy days 2 and 3! same with hair ,minew is naturally curry and thick...I love Pssssssst dry shampoo-takes the oil off the scalp but leaves your hair looking great,especially the days I flat iron it.
ReplyDeletei actually think it's not good for your hair to wash it that often so you are fine! i only wash mine once every two days because mine is thick too so i know how you feel. gah i've been horrible with sweets! just had a snack attack and it's hard to make it to the gym sometimes. :)
