Yoga lover

So its official. I am yoga's biggest fan.

I started thinking about getting a yoga membership when a friend asked me if I could possibly attend a friday class around 4:30. I brushed it off saying I probably couldn't get off work that early consistently (LIE for no reason). Then after a couple weeks I was like what am I doing I an get off early and could get great use out of the lunch hour classes too.

The awesome thing is that my work just barely started offering a hugely discounted yoga pass to the same studio and it literally takes me 5 minutes to walk to from my office. SCORE.

Last friday I did my first class. It literally kicked my butt. My whole body was sore for 5 days. I can't remember the last time I was that sore. But it was incredibly satisfying. Tonight I went to another class that was much more gentle and all about relaxation (let me tell you, I need that in my life).

I keep trying to think of more classes I should try/fit in. I LOVE IT.

Yoga is going to be a great cross training activity for my half. I am seriously so in love with the classes at 3B yoga. There is so much more motivation to push myself in a class as opposed to watching a tape or something.

Also, yoga clothes are the cutest and I want to buy everything from Albion Fit. Luckily I am working and event at their store in city creek for The Shine Project on Saturday so i'll probably get some discounts!! :) seriously dream collaboration.

Namaste. 

The Shine Project at Oremfest!

 I finished EVERYTHING for my grad program today. That's right, I'm finally done!!!!! AHHHHH!!! Is this real life?? I can't even believe there is no more school. Ever, well maybe not. haha

Today I worked for 6 hours as a Shine Project Rep at Orem Summerfest. I also actually sold stuff, so it was a happy day. Thanks to my sissy for helping out :)

When I got home I got to watch this little munchkin while her parents headed to the temple. Weirdest thing ever is that she LOVED me. No tears, ate all her dinner, and just talking adorable nonsense the rest of the night. I love my little Saylor Jae.

So it turns out we went a little crazy with the shopping in the last few weeks. To be fair I did get a lot of money for graduation, so thats a good excuse right? How long do you think I can stretch that excuse for? haha I am thinking till my birthday and then I'll have a new excuse to buy stuff.

Wow I sound materialistic.

Anyways. We have been going through our clothes and stuff the last couple weeks to get rid of the things we don't need and don't wear. Turns out we had 3 trash bags full of clothes to take to D.I. and 3 more bags of stuff to try and sell at plato's closet. So I felt somewhat justified in buying some new clothes. Also Travis needed some business casual stuff for his new internship.

It was a lonnnnngggg day.

It started at 9am studying for my GIS final in the Lab with my BFF Amanda. she left at 10 for an appointment and I was left to study by myself for another hour, and what did I do? well I looked at some blogs, reviewed Facebook, took a walk around the track, basically everything except studying haha.

The good news is my final took me less than 15 minutes and I am pretty sure I aced it despite skipping 4 questions (there were two bonus questions so they even out right). I was the first one in the class done, a regular occurrence, I am a fast test taker, and I was out of there. FORVER. I NEVER HAVE TO USE GIS AGAIN UNLESS I WANT TO. What a relief. That was one of the most annoying classes I have ever taken. ugh. Its over. It was also the last final of my life :) such a happy day.

I came home and cooked myself a delicious 2 cheese quesadilla and made some guac. I love huac more than anything if you didn't already know that.

Next I headed over to the women's expo to meet my new co-worker and to work the booth for 7 hours, by myself. Pretty scary for a first day. I didn't expect what was going to happen. We had a booth in like the worst spot possible, in the walkway where everyone has blinders and is like "don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact." There were a lot of interested people who seemed to loe the cause and took a business card to look it up online, but no one bought anything. For the 9 hours we were at the expo no one bought a single thing. DEPRESSING.

I think the big thing is that most people who come to an expo aren't there to spend a lot of money, they are there to find good deals. The only good things that came out of my shift was meeting my lovely co-worker Janelle who I now want to be best friends with and this lady who owns a spa wanting to get the product for their spa! Hopefully that works out and brings in a lot of business!

Afterwords I grabbed som rumbi (they were out of vegetables which was disappointing but I was starving) and headed over to my brother and sister in laws house to play Risk. It was my first time playing risk and guess what, WORLD DOMINATION from this girl. Yeah I cleaned the floor with all those boys. Also, I love risk now.

Last night I had a nightmare, not about my final today, but about working at the women's expo for the shine project. Notice my priorities... haha In my dream I went to the conference and it was super tiny, and no one was there. My boss, who is in Arizona, showed up and was like super disappointed in my performance. It was sad to say the least.

Come see me at the women's expo (at UVU) from 1pm-8pm if you get the chance :)
