My weekend in pictures!

I went through a lot of different shoes this weekend and it was quite noticeable in my eyes. I picked up my boyfriend Friday from the train station because it was pouring rain. Aren't I such a nice girlfriend?

  

Oh, what am I wearing do you ask? Well, I was hot earlier in the day so rather than grabbing my shorts, I grabbed a pair of my boy's boxers. Then I got cold, so I threw on a Juicy zip up. Then my boy called for me to pick him up so instead of grabbing my warm boots to go out into the rain, I grabbed my pair of flats. Oh! And I must have been blind for 2 seconds because I grabbed 2 different pairs, as you can see. I laughed at myself and had to take a picture. Needless to say, I got a lot of weird looks when I picked him up.

We decided to go bowling and out to dinner that night. It was freezing cold and snowy and I really was in the mood to wear my skinnies and heels. So I put them on, pranced around and did a lil jig while my boyfriend went on with whatever he was doing because it's completely normal that I act this way. He finally noticed and said Erica, we are going bowling...it's snowing..you should put some different shoes on you freak! So I settled with flats. 

Don't bowling shoes look great with skinnies? Totally!! 

With a shoe-galore weekend (exaggeration) I've decided this weekend that these will be my wedding shoes. No I am not engaged yet! but I should start saving for these stat!

I also did some reading over the weekend.

And some skiing! Went up to Mount Sunapee Saturday with the fam and my boy. We met my sister who drove from college and met us there. Twas a grand day! But this pain in my calf just will not go away. Note to self- don't ski too aggressively after not skiing for a month or so. Yowwwza! We went in for lunch and the waitress came by to order drinks. Lil old me says Water!! While my boyfriend and dad order a Miller Light and my mom a Bloody Mary. I was like..what! I didn't know you were getting drinks! So I caved and ordered a cranberry vodka. With my lightweight self, I was buzzin all over the mountain for a wee bit. Haha is that considered a DUI!? or an SUI? Skiing under influence. Definitely an experience

Ended the weekend having a lazy day, painting my nails, and watching the Oscars and Black Swan with my man. Solid weekend!

And I'm just over freakin joyed that my wisdom teeth are coming in. Has anyone had them out before? What am I in for? I need to get them checked because if they are growing in okay, I'll just keep them in...however this girl doesn't want her pretty face lookin' all chipmunk-ish!

xoxo Happy Monday!

School dress code's hilarious video!

Today I'm so BLAH! It's raining and crappy out and I had originally planned on doing a vlog for you all but legit, I'm sitting here with my hair a friggen mess, I must have the biggest, ugliest clothes on in the world, and I'm stuffing my face.


SO..you will get a vlog this week though don't you worry! In the meantime, I do have a funny video for you as usual. I saw this and absolutely DIED!!! I love love love it. It's basically just about all the crazy dress code policies in schools, just taken to the EXTREME haha! The screen shot of the video looks like there's nudity but don't worry! It's safe!!

Dont forget to turn off the playlist!

Hope you guys have an amazing weekend!!

Insane makeup collection...wowza!!

Hi pretties!

A week or so ago I bought this new makeup eyeshadow kit called Too-Faced Natural Eye Palette.

So far, I AM IN UTTER LOVE!!! First of all, can we just talk about how cute and compact it is? I love that it comes in it's own little box with all the colors. Also in the top lid of the case, there are 3 hidden cards that show you 3 different ways to use the makeup. Like..day makeup, night, fashionista, you know what I mean! Seriously...go and buy it! This one is the natural eye look and they have one for smoky eye and fashion eye. I got it at Sephora for only $35! 

Anywho..you're probbbablllly wondering why I'm talking about makeup since I rarely ever do! (actually you're probably not wondering this) I wear makeup just about everyday. Except for those days where I feel like looking absolutely shit-tastic because I'm too damn lazy to do anyything

I wake up at 6:30 every morning to leave the house by 7. True story! I'm not like some of you girls out there who need hours to get ready in the morning! I shower at night AND do my hair at night. So when I wake up, only like 10 minutes of that 30 minutes is used on hair/makeup (and I still look damn good ya dig!?!) The other 20 minutes is used on crunching on my cereal and seeing who broke up with who on Facebook overnight.

Which leads me to this. I pretty regularly follow this YouTube blogger, JuicyStar07. Mostly because I think shes so damn cute plus I like her videos. She is a hair/makeup/fashion guru and I love that kinda stuff. But this one just BLEW MY FREAKIN MIND. She is a makeup fiend and shows us her makeup collection. Now, maybe I'm just out of the loop, but I don't have anywhere close to the amount of makeup she has. Have a looksie.

She's only 17 years old and she doesn't do any promoting or makeup classes or anything! She is constantly saying how she just likes makeup herself and just does it for herself! Props to her but holy cow that is a lot of stuff!!

Do you guys have this much makeup!? I literally only have a decent sized bag full and its all haphazardly in my bag and not so organized like this chick. Sheeeesh!

Happy Thursday you sexy thanggs

5 random things I'm thinking about today

Today I pretty much just have a bunch of randomness to share with you all today so enjoy!

1) I'll be completely honest with you all. I don't recycle..I wouldn't call myself green, or environmental...I don't eat organic or any of that shizz. But when I saw this recycled umbrella being used as a SKIRT? I was like waitt a minute..this thing is pretty cool. Feast your eyes!

Who thinks of this stuff and why have I not thought of anything cool that I can invent or create? Maybe I will start recycling something random like old lampshades and make a hat!


2) Today I was thinking about this article I wrote for a newspaper last year. I wrote a feature article on this guy in New Hampshire who climbed Mount Monadnock (a mountain in Jaffrey, NH) every.single.day for 8 years straight. That's almost 3,000 consecutive days in a row that he climbed it. I'm telling you this because just about a year ago today, I schlepped up the mountain with him, wearing my cramp-ons so I wouldn't fall in the ice, and experienced it first hand with him. It was so surreal. This guy had set a goal for himself to climb the same mountain over and over again just for himself. It was pneumonia that unfortunately forced him to stop doing it. But sheesh! I wish I could accomplish something like this!


3) I'm obbsessed with this new song called "Look at me now" featuring Chris Brown, Busta Rhymes, and Weezy F freakin Baby. I added it to my playlist so have a listen! My goal is to learn all of Busta's words because he absolutely KILLLSSS it in this song after being pretty much dead for the past few years. Like really..where's busta rhymes been? Pass the courvesiour anyone? Seriously..it's such a fast rhyme! And obv my main man blows it all out of the water.

4) Tell me how cute this is. Granted it was on Valentine's Day and that was a week ago, but I just recently saw it on someone's Facebook. 

Her and her boyfriend were walking outside and saw this on a bench on Valentine's Day. There was a card with it and it said "take me home! finders keepers!" How adorable is this! It also gave a website. ProjectGiftDrop.net. Basically just buy or take something you have and leave it somewhere public for someone to find. Ya never know..it could really brighten someones day! :)

5) I found this old pic of me and my sister.

I'm such a brat! But here we are now. 

She is not adopted...but somehow the only blonde in the family..pshh she was totally adopted because I am the much cooler sis..and the favorite!


There's some randomness for you all today! Hope you enjoy and have a happy humpday!!

Sometimes I'm a MassHole

Not sure what that means? Let me Urban Dictionary it for ya'll!

For residents of Massachusetts, it is an achieved title for driving faster, 

being wreckless, cutting other drivers off often, and 

having no patience for other drives on the road.

For non-residents of Massachusetts, it is a term of dislike for the 

people of Massachusetts that drive like an asshole.

If you've ever been to MA or even live here, you know what I mean! Those a-holes who'll cut you off on the highway and then just drive like complete idiots! I have had a lot of MassHole moments. I don't care what anyone says or where you live...everyone has road rage in them. Don't even tell me that when someone cuts you off, you say to yourself "ohh golly silly me! I must be going too slow! woopsie! go ahead sir." NO! You want to get all up on their ass, tailgate the crap out of them, and MAKE THEM pull over and let you back in front of them. 

doesn't this Boston traffic look delicious!?!?

I had a moment of road rage (masshole-ness) this morning on my commute to work. I was in the fast lane. We were in bumper to bumper traffic going through Boston and I see this idiot a few cars behind me weaving through traffic to get just a little bit ahead of everyone. Sorry buddy...not only is there no where for you to go, but there is absolutely no way I am going to let you in front of ME. Of course he tries, and I speed up..not letting him in front of me..then slow down...then speed up..etc. Finally he gets so pissed, beeps at me, flips me the bird, and goes all the way over to the slow lane to try and cut off everyone that way, and gets stuck behind a school bus. HAH! See ya buddy! I then found myself extremely pathetic because I died laughing to myself.

I know having road rage is unsafe. I know the consequences sometimes. But sometimes I just can't deal with people! Like...why are you putting your makeup on in the car? Why are you brushing your teeth and spitting into a cup in a car (true story)? GAH!!

Yesterday my boyfriend and I were driving home. This guy was trying to get onto the highway and into the lane next to us, but doing it sooooo slooooowly! My boyfriend (who is a New Jersey driver...don't even get me started), starts beeping at the poor guy. He finally gets over and my boyfriend turns towards the guy, flips him off with TWO HANDS, all while swearing....turns out, the guy wasnt even looking at us..he was looking the other way! bahahah I was laughing so hard. He wasted a good finger flip.

on our way to the dirrrrrty jersey

Let me be clear on one thing! I'm not at all the type of driver to rush if I'm late, or speed, or anything like that. I'm more of a traffic mass-hole..only because I sit in 45 minutes of traffic errryday and deal with dummies on a daily. But I will cut people off. I will get on their ass sometimes to make them switch lanes. And I will occassssionallly flip someone off if they're acting stupid. There are plenty worse drivers out there than me!! I'm working on it. It's a work in progress! 

Note to self- stop driving like an asshole.

In other news, I got new sneakers this weekend when I was with my boyfriend in jersey! They are ILL.

this is mid-laugh...I don't even know

They're NIKE! and they have this thing I can buy to insert to track my steps and shizz. I will be buying this! I desperately needed sneakers. My old ones were hurting my feet and my boy insisted we go and buy me a new pair!

We also made this.

That, my friends...is SKITTLES VODKA. Drink it straight, or mix it with juice or soda. We mixed it with sprite..yum yum YUM! Click here to see the recipe!!

So how was your weekend? Is anyone else out there a MassHole, or are you guys all "easy going" drivers?! I'll smarten up..don't ya worry!

xoxoxo

It's Friday! here's a video and I want this robotic vacuum puh-lease!

Gooooood Morning fellow bloggers!

Today is my boyfriend's 25th birthday! AH! I'm so excited to share with you what we did and such! I woke up a little early today and ran to Dunkin Donuts and got a corn muffin to bring back for him. So I got ready for work, stuck 5 trick candles in the corn muffin, and woke my boyfriend's ass UP! 

Me: (turning on the light..he's still sleeping) Happy Birthday babe! It's a gorgeous day out!

Kurt: (grumbling..barely awake)... Thanks honey

Me: Ugh will you come into the kitchen and help me with something?

Kurt: Can you bring it in here? I'm still half asleep

Me: (about to have a mini-tantrum) Nooo you need to come here

Kurt: UGH

He's a grumpy boy in the morning! So he walks into the kitchen and Voila! I had the corn muffin with all the candles lit and I sang Happy Birthday as he stood there in his boxers, half asleep, hair a mess. But he smiled and gave me a kiss and blew out the candles. Actually no..he didn't blow out the candles. They were trick candles and kept re-lighting themselves so much that we had to run them under water haha! I have 25 birthday surprises for him throughout the day so I will give ya'll more info this weekend or Monday!

So it's Friday and I like to provide ya'll with a funny lil video! This is one of my favvvvorite video bloggers ever...iJustine. I've shared a video of her before where she dances in the Apple store. Look at this..Freakin' LOOK AT THIS!!

That is a robotic vacuum. Meaning no more vacuuming. Why have I never seen this before!? Anyway, iJustine is so damn hilarious! In this video she shows us her robotic vacuum named BEIBER! I love her so much.

pause the playlist!

I hope you all have a fabulous long weekend!

These pictures make me SO happy!!

Hi my loves!

Have you ever went through old photos and just smiled at certain ones and thought of all the fun memories?! 

Legit..Facebook is amazing.

It can hold photos for YEARS AND YEARS! And it's so awesome to just look back and remember what you did that April of 2008 with your friends. I was glancing through old photos last night laughing to myself, wondering what was going on, and even getting a lil teary eyed. 

These pictures make me happy <3

my boyfriend next to his baby picture..resemblance? 

5$ tee's from American Eagle on 4th of July..sorta matchy matchy!

 At a bar in Maine. So pretty!!

Playing Night Golf in the dead cold!

Ohhh LOVE! There's a lil taste of my fabulous life! I seriously get so sappy when I look back at pictures, especially from college. I legit miss it errryday! I wish I could go back to the days where I'd be rummaging through clothes trying to find the hottest outfit to wear out, and heels to walk around in the frigid cold to the next party. Those were the DAYS!

Hope you all enjoyed! :)

Those CREEPS who come dance with you in a club

Girlies listen up (and guys...if you're listening..and OH please listen!)

I love to dance. And I like to think I'm pretty good! 

I can boogy down

 I can drop it like its hot..this is freaky I know

I can lift my legs

 

And I can...um...we won't go there. It was COLLEGE people!

I was reading one of my favorite Boston bloggers yesterday and she uploaded a video log basically about talking those creepers who come up behind you in a club, grab you, and start dancing away like nobody's business. Sometimes, it's fine! Whatever, sure I'll dance with you. Other times..like if you just wanna dance with your girls, it's like GO. AWAY. NOW. PERVERT.

And sometimes they don't get the dang hint! I've had to wiggle away. I've pretended I had to go the bathroom. I have told a guy that my friend is looking for me. I've even danced horribly...like, instead of the usual hip shakin' I'm capable of, I dance extremely out of rhythm, completely non-hot which has made them go away hah!

But watch this video. She is freakin' hilarious! I've referenced her before when she did a video on "How to trick people into thinking your good looking."

This time, she pretty much tells you how to get those guys the eff away from ya!! 

(pause the playlist!)

Freakin' Genius I tell ya!

Have you guys ever been in this situation! Just MAKE THE FACE!!

xoxoxo Happy Hump-Day!

People watching is my THANGGGG

Let me just say ... I freakin LOVE people watching. I've said this before: I think it's because of my love for journalism. Journalist's need to be creepy/stalkerish to get a story right? That is TOTALLY me.

Last night my boyfriend and I enjoyed a DELICIOUS dinner together on Newbury Street in Boston! It was so much fun! The night before Valentine's Day I said to him that he should wear a pink or red dress shirt to work to be festive and he actually did! He wore his pink shirt. But I knew he would wear that one so I planned accordingly, and wore a pink cardigan that was the exact same pink as his shirt. hehehehe! He was pretty embarrassed buuut it's okay. It was Valentine's Day :) We got back from the restaurant last night and came home to this:

2 dozen roses! :) Omg they have bloomed so much since last night. Good Job, hunny! 

Back to people watching. We were in the restaurant and seated one table over from this couple. Literally I could not stop watching/eavesdropping on them. They were SO AWKWARD! I couldn't tell if they were on a first date at first, but then I figured out they weren't.

They ordered onion soup and some cheese dip thing for an appetizer and rather than putting it in the center of the table to share, they each took one dish and kept passing the ENTIRE DISH back and forth from each other. So if the girl wanted a bite of the soup, her boyfriend passed the plate to her and they did a switch-a-roo. So So weird..plus, who even shares soup??

My poor boyfriend was trying to force me to look away and stop creepin' hahah! Don't worry ladies, I was still being romantic with him...it's just my journalistic skills came out in me. I then saw them exchange gifts. He got her a card with some sort of massage/spa day and he was like

"Baby, I think you really need to go and relax for a day. 

This will be SO GOOD for you. You need to relax."

Then they made out across the table for a few minutes. But THEN! I heard them order. They ordered one burger but asked if it could be cut in half so each could have one half. So the waitress brought over a burger cut in half, and they each got their own plate. Okay we were at a pretty fancy place and these burgers were very fancy looking. Does anyone else think this is strange?

Then another couple came and sat 2 tables away from us. They were just strange. The boyfriend (assuming?) ordered a drink before his date even decided what drink she wanted. So the waitress had to come back and wait for the girl to decide! haha I was just in heaven watching this awkwardness. Meanwhile, my boyfriend and I were having a blast and eating delicious Filet and DUCK FAT FRIES. Holy Moly..they were delicious. Fries made in duck fat oil. Who'd ever thought?!

I somehow thought of this video and it's hilarity lol pause the playlist!

I had a splendid Valentine's Day and might have gotten pretty tipsy off of one Martini but heyyyy it's V-day! Hope all of you had a great day as well :)

xoxoxo

Live*Laugh*Love..it's Valentine's Day!!

Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first 

note says For the woman I love and the second, For my best friend. 

Love this quote. Especially today! 

Happy Valentine's Day to all my bloggers! I love you all! It doesn't matter if you are single or taken, V-day is a great day to love ANYONE! So go love on your boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, mom, dad, brother sister, and even DOG! Because they all love you back :) 

Now go and be cute! Even if it's for yourself! Like today, I'm wearing a pink cardigan, heart necklace, I painted my nails pink, and am rockin' some pink undies! :)

xoxox Happy Valentine's Day lovies!

Vacations Vacations and a Friday Video!!

It's finally the weekend can we get a HALLELUJAH!?

Tomorrow night I'm going to the Boston Globe Travel Show. Please, travel show Gods, let me win a vacation. Let me win a vacation to somewhere warm and tropical. I'll even settle for a sking getaway. I just need a vacation, baby. 

After that, heading over to Pizzeria Regina to eat the most amazing pizza known to man-kind. If ya'll out of Boston-ers think the Pizzeria Regina at your local mall's food court tastes good, you've gotta come to Boston and have the original! You can come stay with me! We can have a fatty pizza night then go dancing! Yahooo!

I mean, who wouldn't want to stay
with this ^ gorgeous human being?!

Isn't this mug gigantic?

I really cannot complain. I've had my fair share of vacations over the years!

I've been to Disney World a zillion times and it never gets old. Hold up. Can we take a look at what I'm wearing? (No..don't acknowledge my unmatching blue pants, black shirt, pink gloves..let me explain hahah) My friends and I went to Disney January of 2010 where it was record cold. Like..25 degrees..in ORLANDO. Mickey was freezing his butt off. School's closed, crops froze, it was chaos! Annnnd I really didn't pack appropriately. Luckily my gloves had been in my purse from when we flew out of Logan! Yikes. Cold.

Viva Las Vegas! Ahh-mazing.

Ignore my giant frizzy mop on my head. It was 100 degrees ya dig?

Hilton Head, SC. Gorgeous.  Miss the beaches and restaurants and the ocean. Wait..I really don't miss that ocean because on THE FIRST DAY, I get stung by a jelly. Really? REALLY? Needless to say, I stayed out of the water for the rest of the week. I'm a baby, I know! But I loove swimming in the ocean. This particular week on the island was swarmed with jellies..they even had a notice about it! So I felt okay hehe

I just really want to go somewhere! Nothing gets me more excited than packing a bag and getting on an airplane. No..I hate airplanes. Hate Hate Hate! If I could drive to Europe, I would. If we win a vacation tomorrow night to like...Bora Bora orrr..Antarctica, how the hell am I going to get on a plane? We'll just have to cross that bridge when or if we come to it!

I'm sorry if I grossed anybody out yesterday with my PUTRID PUTRID video of that woman eating her own shit. So if you didn't watch it due to the nastiness warning ... now you know what it was about lol! I'll spring back with a cutsie Friday video! This is just plain ADORABLE. I saw it on someone's Facebook last night. Holy moly how cute is this.

Hope this cutens up your day! :)
