Yeah, I give up.
I’ve been sitting here for about 15 minutes trying to come up with a fancy intro for this post and it’s just not happening. So instead I’m just going to say… Happy March! Here’s life as I Currently know if…
Current book: Nothing new 😥 I haven’t been to the bookstore in a while so I’ve just been re-reading bits and pieces of old books. If anyone has any good fantasy/adventure book recommendations, I’d love to hear them!
Current music: Shipwreck by USS.
[youtube=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM-BDSE6ZPk&w=640&h=427″]
Current guilty pleasure: Crazy car selfies. Because what else are you supposed to do when you’re stuck in traffic and there’s nothing new in your Instagram feed?
Current nail colour: Birthday suit! And no, that’s not the witty name of some nude nail polish. I’ve just been too lazy to paint my nails for the past couple of weeks.
Current drink: Coconut water. I don’t know if it’s the cold, dry air or the fact that I’ve been slacking on my water intake, but I’ve been feeling constantly parched. I’ve always found coconut water a lot more hydrating than regular water, so I’ve been downing that like it’s my job.
Current food: Coconut basmati rice… which is basically just a fancy way of saying white basmati rice cooked in coconut milk.
Current obsession: Makeup Forever HD foundation. My skin has been acting a little temperamental lately so I decided to switch out my foundations to see if it would make a difference. It did.
Current wish: That the ends of my hair would realize that it’s more beneficial to stick together rather than try to go their own separate ways (read: that my split ends would vanish).
Current need: A haircut, probably. And a tan wouldn’t hurt either.
Current triumph: Being freaking amazing at latte art 😆
Current bane of my existence: I was going to say studying anatomy since that’s what I’m currently learning in school and it’s not exactly my favourite subject in the world, but I don’t want to fall into that kind of negative mindset. It’s something I need to learn and there’s no changing it, so I may as well make the best of it. And yes… that’s very much me trying to give myself a pep talk 😆
Current indulgence: Hawaii! Remember that vacation I mentioned booking a little while back? I’ll be headed to Hawaii in a little less than two weeks (!!!). March is apparently my favourite time to head somewhere warm, with a trip to Oahu in 2013, Kauai in 2014, and now Maui this year. Can.not.WAIT.
Current procrastination: Getting aforementioned haircut…
Current blessing: Living without pain. Having my back seize up on me really made me realize how big of a blessing it is to be able to live without pain each day. There are people out there who have to deal with that as part of their everyday lives, and it’s unbelievable how much it takes out of you. My back is only about 90% better, but it feels freaking amazing compared to what it was — I can actually get dressed without feeling like my spine might snap.
Current excitement: T minus 11 days until I hop on a plane for Hawaii. You can say I’m a little excited about that one. And by “a little excited” I mean “Holy.SNAP I’m freaking going to Hawaii!” *happy dance*
Current mood: Silly. Excited. And kind of sleepy. Quickly approaching the realm of “punch drunk.”
Current link: Playsnake.org. Because sometimes you’ve just gotta indulge in some old school gaming.
Your turn! Give me your current:
1) … book.
2) … food.
3) … bane of existence.
4) … procrastination.
5) … mood.

Agh you’re usually my go to for book recommendations! You always are reading! I would recommend the Count of Monte Cristo. It is an old school adventure book, but it is totally worth it! It is incredibleeee! I can see you are “currently” on a coconut obsession. Coconut water, coconut rice, coconut on those energy bites you recently posted… I feel like I am missing out by not enjoying coconut!
Your latte art cracked me up!
Oh my GOSH, that’s CRAY. I have been obsessing over which foundation to move on to. My skin is seriously irking me lately, and I’ve been looking for good suggestions! WOOT!
OMG your latte art kills me, LOVE IT! Take me to Hawaii….please. I’ll bring my spare bag of Christmas blend…
1) … book – the Challenger Sale. Reading it for work, not pleasure. Sigh.
2) … food – pizza. Or really any carb that also involves cheese.
3) … bane of existence – the interview process for a new position at work. Over it.
4) … procrastination – Cleaning my apartment. It’s such a mess, and I say I’ll clean it every day. Doesn’t happen.
5) … mood – sleepyyyyyy. So, so sleepy.
Very much ditto on the cleaning bit. I’ve been meaning to vacuum for over a week already, and don’t even get me started on laundry… 😯
Oh my gosh, SO JEALOUS that you’ll be off in freaking Hawaii so soon! Send some warmth, please? 🙂
We should study anatomy together. My huge lab exam is tomorrow and I’m studying like my life depends on it (…because it kinda sorta in a way does).
And I must have missed the post where you talk about your back injury, but I’m sorry to hear that that happened! You’re so right— we don’t know what we’ve got until it’s gone. Wishing you a 100% recovery!
1) … book. – My Sister’s Grave. Really good so far (just started this weekend)
2) … food. – Avocado toast with hardboiled egg and coffee
3) … bane of existence. – my knee. It’s been sore for the past few days 🙁
4) … procrastination. – training at work! I’ve had it on my “to do” list but I keep putting it off
5) … mood. – happy! Almost time to go home and see my dog and fiance! 🙂
Great post! As for fantasy/adventure books, Outlander is actually an entertaining and easy read (I was skeptical and avoiding it for the longest time). But I’ll second the recommendation above for The Rosie Project. I’m reading the sequel, The Rosie Effect, now and it’s just as good. Such a unique and endearing read (if you enjoyed The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, you’ll like this one)!
Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll check out both 🙂
THAT SONG!!!! Never listened to that band before, thanks for sharing, I really liked it 🙂
1)Book: Unworthy by Annelli Rufus
2) Food: Apples…always apples
3) Bane of existence: homework, studying, school…anything scholastic really
4) Procrastination: pinterest….tattoo lust
5) Mood: anxious, stressed, sad….blah
Glad you liked it, Hannah! They have some other pretty great songs, too — check out Yin Yang and Laces Out.
Haha, love your pep talk. I wasn’t a big fan of anatomy either, found it interesting but there was way too much to memorize. I did enjoy it so much more than general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry though. Oh, the things nutrition students go through!
I love these posts so so much! Fun way to document your life month-by-month!
For me… Not That Kind of Girl; so close to finishing…just sort of want to be done with it! Starved right now – so I’m excited for my lunch soon (tuna, Ezekiel bread, apple, and spinach & carrots). Bane of existence = my car! We just got a little snow storm and my car just can’t handle it! Definitely procrastinating getting our office in order + also getting myself enrolled with IIN. And finally, my mood is pretty darn happy since my back is pretty much 100% better!
Eeeeeee!! Have yourself a gorgeous time in Hawaii lady 😀 . I know I’d be all pumped up just to get to some real ol’ sunshine 😉 . That said.. Canada is a dream of mine to visit.
I’ve started the sequel “Summer King” in The Fearie series… I am enjoying it tremendously so far – eager to see how it pans out. After reading up “falling for you” by Jill Mantell (<-hope I got the name right) I'm a little slow and reluctant to get it out of my system hahaa; chick lit at its finest.
I know what you mean about not wanting to get a book out of your system. I always feel a little sad whenever I finish a really good book, which is why I’ll sometimes read it all over again 😆
Ahhhhhhh Hawaii?!?! So jealous you lucky you! Maui is absolutely beautiful, you will love it. couldn’t of picked a better time of year to jet somewhere tropical! You are going to have a blast and I cannot wait to hear/see all about the trip!
Your car seats are the.BOMB.com! LOVE! And I’m reading a lot of inspirational and self help books right meow, so I don’t know if I’d be good to ask lol!
And I MISS OUR TALKS, too! Can we start soon, please? I need some inspiration and happiness in my life!!!
Hawaii is code word for Australia, right? RIGHT?
Your latte art is so purrrrrty. Next week you’ll be writing names. Also..ghost.
I love Makeup Forever foundation! I used to use the one you posted about but I’ve had to switch to mat velvet because of some skin issues. It’s the best. I like using it with a beauty blender.
1) I’m not reading anything right now but I hope to start the Outlander series soon.
2) Food = eggs. Don’t know what I’m so obsessed with them lately.
3) Bane of existence… traffic. It’s hard for me to keep it together after so long of sitting there.
4) Procrastination: blog plans. Need to be better about that.
5) Current mood is anxious/nervous because I’m having knee surgery this week. Yikes.
Have fun in Hawaii!
You’re speaking my language, girl! I haven’t tried the matte version, but I may test it out when I’m done with this bottle. And wishing you all the best with your surgery! <3
