Lazy Day

Yesterday was an interesting change of pace for me.

I spent ALL day in my dorm. I don't remember the last time I had an entire day with nothing to do and no need to leave my room.

So what does super busy bee me do on a rare day off?

Well, I started off by sleeping in until 11 30. That was a lovely refreshment from the constant waking up before my alarm clock went off of this past weekend.

I would love an alarm clock with Belle on it!

Then I just web surfed for a really long time.
I blogged

And pinned

And made outfits on Polyvore

And discovered new wedding blogs

And Facebooked

And Twittered

Then I decided to brave Hulu again (I really really really dislike Hulu. It's so slow compared to Netflix, and I need to watch dumb ads.) to watch the newest season of Once Upon A Time... I really like the show, or else I would never waste 6 hours trying to watch three 45 minute episodes.

And since Hulu takes forever to load, I decided to tackle my room during loading periods. So now my room is super clean!

I made my bed

I put my shoes up

And I organized my closet

And I vacuumed

That's my empty laundry bag in the upper left. Talk about productive!

And I even updated my calender!

Then after tackling my room, I decided to tackle myself. I took a super long and delicious shower. You know those that you just stand there and let the water wash you away? If my dorm bathroom had a bathtub, it would have been a bath salt/bubble bath kind of day. But unfortunately, it's just a shower, no bubble bath capabilities. And after that long, lovely HOT sauna like shower, I straightened my hair. Mind you, my hair take an hour minimum to straighten. I spent a good two hours on it yesterday (while still attempting to watch Once Upon A Time as it slowly buffered)

This picture was taken today. Part of the lazy day included staying in my PJs all day long

Then I decided to paint my nails.

And I web-surfed some more.

And I started playing a new Wii Game that I bought a few weeks back.

Finally, Luis calls at 10PM (At night! It took all day!!!) and he's waiting outside with my car! I haven't seen Lulu yet, but he said that both bumper and mirror are looking better, which is good. I'll put up some pictures of her later, once I see her. She sure did take a good chunk of my bank account. Actually, she took up everything I had saved up for my birthday, with the exception of $14... The struggle is real here folks.

Anyways, now I have a clean room to enjoy, lots of new pins and wedding knowledge, my hair looks fabulous, and my nails look decent, not to mention I've caught up some more on sleep and Once Upon A Time.

Now my life can go back on it's crazy track.

The Delightfulness of New Blogs

Hi, my name is Brunna Caroline D, and I am a procrastinator.

That's Step One to recovery right? Yea, well I've been admitting that I'm a procrastinator for a long time, but still no improvement shown. Such a shame.

Anyways, procrastinating is kinda my MO. I wait until the last possible minute, do the work really rushed, somehow still do a pretty good job, and get a better grade than the kid next to me who worked for the grade weeks before hand. So you could say that I just lack the motivation. And I am now reverting to my extremely unhealthy ways of procrastinating. On Monday I woke up at 8am and wrote a nine page paper by 1 45 with a few breaks in between, so I figure I'll be okay writing this five page tonight.

Anywho, getting to the point. I just discovered this website on Pinterest yesterday, and I'm just obsessing over it. She has the cutest things on it! Plus some good study tips here! (Do you see how bad the problem is? I go on Pinterest to find study tips and end up finding a new blog to obsess over) So now I'm sitting in bed brushing my hair and pouring over her thoughts and experiences (not to mention cute clothes pictures, she's a J. Crew fan too <3)

I'm loving her spring cleaning checklist and I am totally going to go over it and do this on my next day off. Lord knows that my life needs a makeover. Clean EVERYTHING and organize like a crazy person. And I just had a shopping spree month and went to the mall with a friend almost every week, so I have a TON of shopaholic clothes/bags/accessories/make up/etc lying around in my room that I haven't found a place for yet. So it looks like I have a game plan for Friday before going to work and Sunday.

She is also in love with Paris, which makes her 10 times cooler in my book. I'm totally jelly of her that she gets to go to France this summer, but that gives me an incentive to mimic her. Why not set a budget for myself with a savings account for a big trip or splurge? I really need to start controlling my shopaholic tendencies. Having a phone and card makes saving so hard though! In less than a minute I can transfer all my money from my savings account to my checking, and boom, shopping spree. I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I definitely need to come up with a good budget and start allotting money for specific things every month (I will need a small splurging pool of money though. If I see a too cute pair of shoes or dress, I will deviate. #shopaholicproblems)

And she has these great disconnecting tips!

Turning your phone off when you're with your friends

Keeping your phone in another room while working

Committing to a specific time every night to spend an hour away from all screens

Turning off push notifications

Collecting phones as a group when out to dinner and turning them all off

I am totally guilty of being a 100% connected person. I am ALWAYS on my iPhone. Like, always. The only time I'm ever not on my phone is when I'm working (because cell phones are strictly forbidden at Chick-fil-A) and when I'm asleep. And even when I'm asleep, my phone is literally right next to my pillow, so if anyone texts, calls, e-mails, etc, I can wake up and answer it (most times I just ignore it and keep sleeping though). I want to try disconnecting, but it's so hard ): My boyfriend hates it. I'm always on my phone and that pulls me away from the people around me, making me give them a lot less attention. So maybe these tips will help me out on this quest. (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, Email, texts, and my word games can wait... can't they?)

And then she works for some company called Levo League and they have these 'career mentors' and 'career experts' that do Office Hours, which apparently are really cool and motivational/inspirational 30 minute session webinars about all kinds of great stuff for people like me who like personal growth/leadership/mentor/ things.

It's great. I'm going to spend the next few days bingeing on this blog and the webinars instead of doing whatever else I have to do (:
