***little late because of my stupid toothache!***

Stuff on the Interwebs

• What's the etiquette on vaping in public? Here's a Vogue article tackling that question.
• I'm obsessed with this lace top extender! Grace and Lace have so many options and I want every single one! They even have shorts extenders for when your cutoff denims are just a wee bit too scandalous.
• I'm finally on Snapchat! Find me at jessicawnc1 :)

On my Instagram

• Were you as obsessed with her as I was?
• Double workout Fridays! 
• Sometimes I have the weirdest food combinations at meal times

What I'm doing...

Dealing with a horrible toothache! It started last week and I just had it pulled yesterday! Oh my gosh. The worst. I was scheduled for a root canal on March 9th but I could not wait 2 weeks. The pain was way too intense. I had relief as soon as they started numbing me up and I figured it would hurt so much when the meds starting wearing off. But it didn't! I finally had relief! Don't get me wrong, it's a little tender. I can't chew anything on that side. I accidentally sucked through a straw and thought OH CRAP! I've ruined everything. But so far so good. At least I am not eating ibuprofen like candy because of the pain! YES!!! It was my very back molar so I am ok to still chew once the skin heals.I really couldn't chew much on that tooth anyway because the last filling I had never really felt right.

What I'm watching...

The People v. O.J. Simpson. It's not going to win any awards but it's ok. I actually think Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark is fabulous. It does get a bit cheesy in some parts but overall it's kinda interesting to go back to those first few days of the investigation. Something that shocked me is that her children were actually asleep upstairs during the crime. I really had not put 2 and 2 together on that when I heard about the murders the first go around. I felt so so bad for the children. Just to wake up to their worst nightmare...their mother was just...gone. I almost teared up a little when the actor that plays Ron Goldman's father talked about how Ron was pretty much ignored as a victim. SO sad. Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark really conveyed that she wanted justice for them.

What I'm listening to...

My dad installing a new skylight! This beautiful creation replaced a janky, old, foggy skylight. I LOVE IT!!!!


What I'm eating...

A SUPER DELICIOUS Indian meal out of my Skinnytaste recipe book! Chickpea curry and roasted tumeric cauliflower.


What I'm buying...

This light fixture! Wowzers! It's going in my kitchen above my table. I'm so excited. I'm ready to get rid of this old janky thing:

What I'm wearing...

This was one of my most favorite outfits in a long time!

As far as fitness...
I'll be back on the fitness wagon tomorrow I hope! I lost a whole week to a bad tooth. I'm so aggravated about it. What can I do about? Just start back up. I'm actually going to start the whole T25 Beta phase OVER!

Life Lately {Weekly RoundUP 2.21.16}

It may be every other week...maybe every week...but I'm going to TRY to bring you a roundup of what I'm reading, what I'm eating, what I'm watching, making, finding on the internets, obsessing over etc. etc.! 

Stuff on the Interwebs:

• Ashley Graham looking fabulous on the cover of Sports Illustrated! She is the first size 16 model to appear on the cover!
• Dita Von Teese in her beautiful new "Dahlia" bra now available in Lipstick Red. Rerr Rerr!
• I made this DELICIOUS Coca Cola Cake I found on Pinterest for my brother on his birthday and it was a HIT!

From my Instagram

• Enjoyed a delightful night of belly dancing and middle eastern foods
• Finally got my ring back from the cleaners AND got a new band! 
• Chocolate...lovely, lovely chocolate

What I'm reading...

Why Not Me by Mindy Kaling. I'm a cheapo so instead of paying $15 on Amazon, I just rented it from the library. Down side is I have to wait quite a while to start reading it. But that's ok. 

What I'm eating...

Skinnytaste's Tuna Casserole and a HUGE kale salad. I bought myself this recipe book for Christmas and have not been disappointed yet!

Also grabbed some delicious Pad Thai for my "treat" meal one Friday night. 

What I'm watching...

Project Runway All Stars Season 5! 

I'm always down to watch me some Project Runway! I didn't really watch the PR Juniors nor Under the Gunn either. I'm just a die hard traditionalist I guess.

Serial Season 2

I want to do a separate post on all things podcast. This is one of the podcasts I am really digging right now. If you've been living under a rock then you don't know about how awesome Serial is. Serial Season One took on the Adnan Syed case and may have single- brought justice to a possibly, maybe, I-haven't-made-up-my-mind yet, wrongfully convicted young man. Now, in Season Two, Sarah Koenig has taken on a completely different "case", if you will, about Bowe Bergdahl. Bowe is an extremely interesting soldier in the U.S. Army that allegedly walked off his outpost in Afghanistan.

What I'm wearing...

These freakin' jeans that I haven't been able to squeeze into in AGES! Woo!!! Thanks T25!

What I'm doing for fitness...

Started the Beta Phase of T25 and I love it! Gonna do a round up post for the Alpha Phase soon! 

That's it for the first Weekly RoundUP!
