Weekend in photos

Or rather, Friday night in photos. girls nightIt’s always fun going out for a few hours with these two favorite co-workers of mine. The place we went to only just opened up down the street from my apartment, and I was itching to get there — even if it was a mostly beer served type of pub. (I hate beer lol)

beertown bartenderI don’t know how we managed to get one of the bartenders in a photo with us. But it worked. The staff working there were so friendly lol.. as they would be. Serving girls drinks, workin’ for the tips.

january snowfallYesterday I went for my first run since late December with my coach. It was pretty mucky outside, snowing and all. Plus, it was tough running on the snow covered side roads. I ended up doing over 4k, but it was hard.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! What did you all do?

OOTWW + Triple F Friday #12

So I got a new camera from the Boyf for Christmas. The photos are kind of absudrly bright. Sorry? lol. I need to read the manual more. It’s not light enough outside to take photos without the flash when I snap these before work. Thus, the intense bright flash.

Onto the OOTWW:

ootww

Lucky me with a two day work week. Ha! I took Wednesday off from work so I could unpack and do some errands before heading back.

Ah! I love Triple F Fridays. Short for Fun, Fit and/or Fashionable people that stood out to me in the last blogging week. :) Here we go…

calypsoSierra spent the Holidays in Mauritius! Check out some of her outfits she pulled together. Loveee that dress.

Armani-Eyes-To-Kill-Mascara-Lancome-Hypnose-Doll-Lashes-YSL-Shocking-630x420Rae talks about her thoughts on high end mascaras.

dec26_ootd1This is from last week. But since I didn’t do a Triple F Friday last week, I’m showing her post today. Leanne has some New Years resolutions too. To continue this she’s posting her outfits of the work week, as well! This is her Boxing Day OOTD which features Le Chateau, American Eagle, and Michael Kors.

amanda-riding-boot-tory-burchLena bought some pretty amazing Tory Burch boots. I actually want them. I wonder what size boot she wears… can I buy them off you? No, really.

afoodiestaysfitTeri blogged about how she made herself significantly faster as a runner. How that was possible, by her already speedy legs —I have no idea. But she’s done it.

Submit yourself to my weekly Fun, Fit, Fashionable posts. You can certainly submit your own, next week. Just shoot me an e-mail to spiffykerms@gmail.com. Just include any of the following:

My five resolutions for 2013

I’m not one for making resolutions. Mostly because I’m a secretly-pessimistic person. Instead, I’ve changed my tune and decided that it’s due time I make some New Years resolutions. 3 days late.

Take more vitamins
I’m feeling more lethargic than I have in a few years. I haven’t been regularly taking vitamins in 2012. So I went to Walmart after work today and bought what reminds me of senior citizens… a pill box. If the pills are stuck in a drawer somewhere, I’m not going to see them – therefore won’t take any.

daily-vitaminsHopefully this will keep me on the right track. Vitamins shown: Palafer (Iron), B12 1,000mcg, Vitamin D and docusate sodium. I think that the B12’s need to be taken on their own or it will lose its effect.

december-2012-scheduleKeep organized with a schedule.
I don’t always meal plan, and I don’t always keep a workout schedule. This isn’t ideal for me, since if I don’t have an agenda I’ll just sit on the couch for the entire night reading blogs or watching beauty YouTube videos and end up cooking supper at 10pm. Not the best for my health, but I agree that one sometimes needs a break. Just not a two week long one. Oops?

Waste less.
Meaning, don’t go all hog-wild in the washroom using 16 hand towels to try my hands with. I can’t stand having water droplets on my hand walking down the cold hallway at work. Which makes me aggressively dry my hands. When I really only need 2-3 towels. lol This is so random… but I know I use way too many.

Be clutter free.
I don’t need to have a back up of everything I use. It’s just nonsense. Right now I have a few hair dryers (which were actually free with some points … but still!), and an abundance of beauty products that will take me for ever to get through. Each time I fly home to Newfoundland, or open up a beauty box at work – friends and family members get the most of it.

desk-clutter(Believe it or not, this is my “cleaned up” desk)

I also like to have a clean desk. But this is never the case at work, or at home. I work better when the area I’m in is clutter-free.

Learn more.
Sure, that’s vague. But I mean this in the every day life. Learn to listen more. Learn about my new camera. Read more online that will help develop my Graphic Design skills more. Not just daily blog posts, which are fun and mindless too. But it doesn’t help build.

Have you made any 2013 New Years resolutions? Let me know them, in the comments below!
