Spring Cleaning: Rejuvenate + What I Wore Wednesday

Today is one of those days. The kind of day where you've gotten so much done but your workload has still managed to increase. You know what I'm talking about. The kind of day that seems to go by so quickly; until you look at the clock and your eyes pop out of your head because its really only 11:30 a.m. Where you can't seem to drink enough coffee or pin enough things to make the time go by faster. Yes folks, that's the kind of day I'm having.

So in order to rejuvenate myself, I've decided to create a bucket list. This also ties into my Spring Cleaning posts because sometimes your attitude towards life needs to be cleaned and rejuvenated! This is especially true when you're having days like the one I'm having right now, when it seems like you haven't conquered much!

So here it goes - and I'll be adding to this list from time to time as I come up with new things to do. Oh, and I'll also be adding a separate page dedicated to my bucket list so you (well, mostly me) can see how much of it I've accomplished! Okay, for real this time, here it goes:

In no particular order

- Go skydiving (I'm extremely afraid of falling so I want to try and overcome this one)
- Feed sharks in a shark cage
- Vacay in Tahiti (always been a dream of mine since my beach bum days)
- Learn a different language (preferably Korean)
- Research and document my family tree
- Travel to Italy (Heather, I'm totally counting on you for this one. Lol.)
- Have my dream wedding
- Subscribe to a gym (and actively participate)
- Learn to play the piano
- Sing as a side job (events, weddings, funerals, etc.)
- Honeymoon in Greece
- Take a dance class
- Get my degree
- Travel to all 50 states (3 down, 47 more to go)
- Shoot a gun
- Drive a motorcycle
- Read 100 books in one year (I need to find out how many I already read this year)
- Meet a blogging buddy in person
- Start an etsy shop
- Start a crafting business
- Learn how to do woodwork
- Milk a cow
- Ride an ostrich
- Explore the pyramids in Egypt
- Repel down a cliff
- Renew my vows in the Bahamas
- Buy my own house
- Surf in Bali
- Plant a tree
- Go snowboarding


Well, there you have it. That's my bucket list so far. What about you? What's your bucket list look like? Let's compare! I'm sure you've got some great things that I could add to mine!

And finally, here's what I wore:

Makeup: Black lid, grey crease, white highlight, clear gloss on lips
Dress: Little black dress bought at Papaya (around $30, don't remember the exact cost)
Shoes: $30 at A-1 Shoes
Belt: Came with another dress I bought at Papaya
Bag: Betseyville by Betsey Johnson (Retails around $80, bought at Ross for $25)

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone! I look forward to seeing some bucket lists from you guys!

Spring Cleaning: Confessions + What I Wore Wednesday

So as stated in last Tuesday's post (here), I've decided to wear my mint sweater for today's outfit post. I've seriously had this sweater since 2006. I bought it at Papaya because I needed work/office clothes so I went on an office wear shopping spree with money my parents sent me.

I think I'll call this my "Mint Oreo & Milk" outfit. Lol.

Makeup: Sephora Collection Shimmering Sunset (Crease), MAC Mythology (Lid), MAC Blacktrack (Liner), Maybelline Falsies Flared (Mascara), MAC Pinch O' Peach (Blush), MAC See Sheer (Lipstick)
Top: Mint Sweater (Papaya), White 50's Inspired Halter (Papaya)
Bottom: Black Stretch Pencil Skirt (Charlotte Russe)
Shoes: Black Pointy-Toe Heels (Wet Seal)

Being true to my sign, I constantly go through different phases and can never seem to really make up my mind about anything. Typical Gemini, never satisfied.

Lately I've been feeling the urge to clean more. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. It's been a good while since I've had a whole lifestyle cleanse. Lol. So in honor of spring I'll be dedicating some posts to, yup you guessed it:

SPRING CLEANING!

No, no, don't run away just yet! You'll like it, I promise. Okay well maybe I don't promise. But, you will like it. You will. Like it. You. Will. Like. It.

So to kick things off, I'm cleaning out my secrets.

- I have never waxed anything on my body. Ever.
- I hate sharing my snacks with people. Especially my own kids. (Hey, moms need their space too!)
- I don't like to talk much in the car.
- When I buy stuff I shouldn't be buying (more makeup, purses, etc.), I hide it from my bf then pretend I had it for a long time or ordered it a while ago and it just took a long time to ship. (For example, the $100 I just paid on my Scentsy order that came in yesterday - haul below)
- I do not own a cell phone.
- I like to start things that I never finish.
- I have purposely cut myself.
- Pretend I'm not, but totally am a jealous person. Will most definitely start some baby-mama drama if I have to.
- Never been in an actual fight before. At least not with anyone outside of my family.
- I'm a very hairy Asian. Thick, black hair and I hate it. I even have hair on my fingers and big toes. Not very feminine.
- Speaking of toes, mine are long. I tried to wear covered shoes as much as I could because I was always getting teased about my finger-toes.
- I have had an abortion.
- Great at over-analyzing everything!
- My first real kiss happened when I was 13. Right down the street from my house. On the corner. Next to a stop sign and a fire hydrant. I wasn't even allowed to have a boyfriend.
- I have HPV. The cervical cancer kind.
- Patches of my hair will fall out from time to time due to an autoimmune deficiency.
- There was a long period of time that I wasn't speaking to my father. Two years long.
- I have to pick at pimples and scars. Like I HAVE TO. Even if they're not mine. Seriously. If I see a scab on Joey's knee or elbow, I will sit next to him and peel that scab off until he screams. Lol. He hates it.
- I was considered an alcoholic at the age of 18.
- I once went on a date with someone I barely knew (mutual friends). I agreed only because it was free food. I fell asleep on the way home.

So there it is! 20 of my secrets have been cleaned out. I honestly feel a lot better now that I've shared them with you. Now its your turn, what are some secrets you'd like to clean out? I promise I won't judge you for them.
