Yayyy, yep you read correctly, 

That is 2 blog awards that I will be discussing today!!!
My first award comes from Katie at Jersey Blonde,  
Katie is amazing & a huge inspiration so you should all stop by and check out her page if you haven't already!!
Katie gave me the:

With awards come rules and in this case they are quite simple:

Describe where I think I'll be in 10 years.

Ohhh in 10 years I will be 33. Scary to think about!!! I will hopefully be Married to an amazing man with 3 beautiful babies. I would love to have twins of the same gender & then another in the opposite gender. I am not picky about which gender is the twins or not! I also will have finished my Masters & will hopefully be working at some sort of inpatient mental health unit in a hospital or perhaps a rehab center. I would also like to be looking into getting my PH.D in 10 years & start taking some doctoral classes, one night class at a time. I have no idea where I would like to live. Probably a rurally area right outside of NYC so i can of course indulge in the city's fabulous shopping!!

 I think that is about it!!!

I am going to pass this on to Jamie at Life As I Know It!

My 2nd award comes from Melissa at My Life- More Than Just A Paragraph.

Melissa is another amazing blogger, who blogs about amazing topics that are always fun to read!!!

Melissa gave me the:

This has the same rules as above so I am not going to repeat myself but thanks girl!!!

I am going to give this award to V. at the V. Chronicles!

Congratulations Ladies!!!

So I finished Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol.

This was a good book. Not my favorite of Dan Brown's where Angels & Demons is my favorite but it was not bad overall. The book took me a little while to get interested in but about half way through it really started picking up & had some really unexpected turns & kept my attention throughout the last half. The book also had some confusing parts because I am not familiar with really of the terminology that the author was using but I actually found my self learning a lot about the topic!!

I do recommend this book because well I will always recommend every book because I pretty much love them all, however, this is not a easy read, but interesting nonetheless!!!

Today I also saw Grown Ups!!!

Please let me express to you how I am already a HUGE Happy Madison fan & had high expectations for this movie!!

& man were my expectations not let down!!

I laughed hard in this movie. 

It was a bit sad at first, but overall I was cracking up & highly suggest you go see it!!

Finally,

I got a fabulous 3 mile run in today!!! It was great!! My friend ran with me for the first mile and stepped up her game to a 9.55 minute mile!!

I was SOOO proud of her!! 

Camp is continuing & I am on to reading the Perks of Being a Wallflower & One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!!

Quick Update

Fun, Fun, Fun, 

So far camp is starting off amazing!!!

The first week is always kind of hectic so sorry for this quick short post. 

I have been getting a lot of good reading done at night which is awesome because I use summer as a break from school where I only get to read textbooks 24/7.

I will be finished with Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol soon & will provide an update with that.

I also think I will be heading to the library to pick up a new book after this one. 

I fly threw books in the summer & take a lot longer to read books during the school year so I think I will save the books I own for school.

Any Suggestions of Good Library Books?

Running is also going well today is my day off & as long as the weather is good tomorrow, I am hoping to make a nice 2.5 to 3 mile run. 

I am assuming some other camp counselors will want to go with me so it will depend. 

xoxo!

Outfit of the Day/ Running Update and 2 Book Reviers

So tomorrow is the day
the day that the campers start piling into camp & the serious fun begins.
Today we had the day off to recouperate from a long couple of weeks of training!!
It was very much needed.
 Outfit of the Day:
I don't have a full length mirror here at camp but I took a picture of this outfit a few months ago back at school & wore it again today because it was a bit chilly down by the lake front where some camp leaders & I had an amazing lunch on the water!!

 Running Update:
Today I went for a nice 2 mile run. 
I am seriously motivating all of my camp leaders to get into shape and it is awesome. So far I have taken 3 new people on runs with me who never really work out!!
The only downside to this is that I have to slow my pace quiteeee a bit but in the end, I think the fact that I am motivating pepole to get healthy is more important than a running pace!!

Book Reviews:  
So I finished reading Lauren Conrad's LA Candy.

 This is a very easy read. 
Not a lot of thinking involved at all, but a very good beach or lay out in the sun book.
The books is sort of similar to her experiences with reality tv yet fictional about 2 best friends & their experiences being involved in a new reality tv show called LA. Candy.
I recommend this book to anyone looking for a nice easy read!

I also finished the 3rd book in the Percy Jackson Series.

 This is an even easier book to read & I finished this within 3 days!!
I really enjoy these books because they are simple yet very interesting & I find myself wanting to learn more about Greek Mythology. 
This book is about Percy Jackson & several of his friends attempt to save Mount Olympus from another attack. 
I will be reading the 4th book as soon as my boyfriend finishes it!


I also went shopping at Hollister today and got an adorable gray/brownish tube top & a pair of light kackys for only 15 bucks!!
I love sales!!
xoxo! 

Exhaustedddd!!

As I mentioned previously, 

I was quite busy this past week.
Camp training is really fun and our staff of 20 is just hilarious!!
So far I have done a High Ropes Course, Made numerous funny short skits, practiced for a talent show, & went kayaking in a lake!!

Woo. Exhausting. 
Tomorrow, some of my staff members and I will be going to 6 Flags in New Jersey & I can not wait!!!
I have not been to an amusement park in well over 5 years!!!

I am excited about being able to add another book to my book list soon, I will be finished with L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad probably this evening!!!
I am also soo excited to see Grown Ups & Toy Story 3!!!
Just need some more time off!!!


xoxo.

Sowwwieee

I will be back to updating regularly by the end of this week!!! 

Fabulous Weather and Snapple Facts!

Hello Fabulous Weather!!

I hope everyone is getting as nice weather, as we are in New York!!

I will be out of comission for a few days due to summer camp training. 
I will only have my cell phone where we are going so I will be unable to blog.
However, If I can find my camera in the mess of a lodge room I will provide lots of fun pictures for when I get back!!
I hope to get in a couple of really good morning runs.
It seems as if I have increased my pace quite a bit from when I first began running & instead of an average of 3 miles, its seems like I have moved up to an average of 4 miles!!

I Failed Miserablyyy!!

As my title states:
I failed miserably
but it is more like beyond miserably. 

I went into victorias secret with the best intentions. I only wanted to pick up a few things that I didn't get the time before but new I would probably be needing soon. 
...Well a few things turned into a lot of things.

But now I am serious.
Save Save Save.
I purchased the Beauty Rush Coconut Craze Hypergloss Shampoo and Conditioner. 
 
This just smelt so amazing & summery that I had to try it!!
I will let you all know how it works ones I use it!

I also  bought a small bottle of Amber Romance

I love this smell!!

The combination of Black Cherry, Creme Anglaise and Sandalwood is just perfect!! 

I bought a small bottle because I was unsure of how I would like it and I will def. be getting more once I finish this bottle!!

I also decided that I was well overdue for a hair cut.

I am growing my hair out for Locks of Love, or Wigs for Kids.

I am not sure which yet. 

Does anyone have any experience with either of these organizations?

I just got about 2 inches off the bottom & had them cut & shape my bangs a bit.  

This will be the 2nd time I have donated my hair. 

Last time was in 2007 & I learned my lesson & will be growing my hair out quiiite long, like almost to my but before I donate it. 

xoxo!
