This is Thirty

I was working on this post about 30 things I've learned, you know because now I'm thirty.
I scrapped it.
I started it and while I've learned a lot it made me feel like I need to do more.  I am pretty happy with my life, but my list made me feel like I was lacking.  I'm only thirty.  I have so much more time to do things that I want to do, but I am so happy with what I have right now.

How many people can say they're in a relationship that they feel just right in at thirty?
My fiancee is twenty five, when I was twenty five we were only dating about 6 months and I wasn't sure how it was going to play out.  He was nineteen, when we started dating...how lucky am I that both of us so young have stayed together and never strayed.  That's pretty good, I think.

I just feel really grateful after my special day yesterday.
We both had our tea leaves read together and it was so special to me, as getting my tea leaves read is something I've done since I was sixteen and I believe in that kind of stuff, I love it.  But the fact that she could read so much of our personalities and that he goes away for work and that when he's gone I sometimes eat naughty (nachos and wine please!).

I wish I would've got a picture but my youngest brother made me a birthday cake, a layered, earl grey infused, crepe cake.  It was so freaking delicious, so much so that like I said, there was no time for a picture.
I had pancakes for breakfast, Greek food for lunch, my favorite scone for a snack with tea and my most favorite pizza for dinner.  I love food.

I am quite excited to be thirty, not sure why as people still think I'm a teenager but at least now I get the shock factor when I tell them and I enjoy that.

My mom and I are going away this weekend, so I'm hoping to have a good post for you next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Last but not least, I had to buy myself a birthday present!  After about three years I've finally bought myself a set of Zoeva makeup brushes.  Not going to lie, it was slightly wine induced, but I have been looking at them forever.
I bought the volume 1 rose golden set, as I am super intrigued by the silk finish brush.  And I bought the 101 luxe face definer brush in rose golden volume 2, because I am struggling to find a good contour brush and I think this is it.

Let me know in the comments if you have ever tried the Zoeva brushes, I'm curious of your opinion.

Also, let me know if you've had your tea leaves read and if it's been accurate! I'd love to know!
Have a great weekend!

Health & Fitness Update (2)

I'm just going to tell my sob story first, okay?

Today sucked.
Last night I went to be just after nine, on a Saturday. I thought for sure I could make it until ten but I was beat.
Then this morning Nathan had his alarm set for five.  Five in the freaking morning.
Of course I heard it, but I rolled over and went back to sleep until six.
He started making all sorts of noise in the kitchen and then just before seven came and jumped on the bed.
BUT! I couldn't even be mad because I promised I would be better in the morning and not so grumpy all the time. Plus he made me waffles and coffee, who can be mad at that even if it's 630am.

The rest of the day I just felt bummed and off.
I ate really heavy foods on Thursday at a Birthday dinner and ever since then I've been in a pissy mood.

So I solved that.
Today I ate better, we went and bought a whole bunch of fresh fruit and veggies and I did some of my meal planning.  I also bought more protein powder as I'm almost done the one I have and I find it's not very filling.

I wanted to go for a run yesterday and today...that didn't happen.
That first step out the door is the absolute hardest.
I have all the tools I need for running except the confidence.
That's always been the hardest part for me, overcoming my anxiety to get out the door and not care that people will see me running.
To get over that I'm considering just running up and down my street three times as it has quite the hill I think it would be a great start!

I might do a haul video or post soon.
I'm going to do a birthday shop for myself and I'm planning on going to town on that. . .
First I need to take care of my car insurance.....


My breakfasts and lunches have been okay lately.
My dinners have been rich and I don't like having rich food in the evening so that needs to stop.
It's hard when it's Birthday Season, so I might actually do a Birthday Breakfast instead of a Birthday Dinner for mine in a week.
Wow, I'm going to be 28 in a week.
Next weekend is declared Birthday Weekend!  Saturday we're going to the city, Sunday will probably be a relax/chore day, Monday will probably be a "Me" day seeing as it is my day.

Have a Lovely week and I will hopefully be back on Wednesday!
