Things I Like

I don't really know what to write about anymore. Our lives here aren't overly exciting (despite what the blog title claims), and I'm not about to let loose my uninhibited random thoughts and feelings (heaven forbid!) as interesting as those might be. So to keep things interesting (for me at least) here's a new idea: Things I Like.

I am 99% certain that I have stolen this idea from someone else, but in the Blogging World there isn't much left that's original anyway. Every week or so, I'm going to list things I'm into lately and maybe talk about them. This could mean books, movies, products, food, music...you name it!
Here we go:

Retro Swimsuits. I really love these 50s-looking swimsuits! The halter straps and the neckline look so classy, and these swimsuits are sexy but at the same time cover your butt. I have been altering my swimsuit to looking like one of these suits...can't wait to wear it!

Sunflower Market Bread. This bread is fantastic. Not only does it taste amazing, but each slice only contains 50 calories! Most bread has close to 100 per slice. I don't feel guilty eating a while sandwhich when I use this delicious bread! Mmmmm!


Dove Energy Glow Lotion. This lotion works pretty well. If you use it, over time your skin will darken just a little to make it seem sun-kissed and more tan. I don't use a lot of it, but it has been easing the transition into summer by making my legs not so shockingly white. It's inexpensive, and I like the smell, too.



Bob Hairstyle. I have been scared to cut my hair really short for a while, but a few weeks ago I went ahead and did it. Ever since I have been wishing that I did it sooner! A bob haircut (like the example above) is cute, trendy, and pretty, but what I didn't realize is how EASY this style is to care for! I spend no more than 10-15 minutes a day on my hair now. Plus, my hair requires less shampoo and styling products. Yes, I admit that I sometimes wish for long, flowing locks, but I am really enjoying short hair right now!

Uh, you should totally write your uninhibited random thoughts and feelings. I think it's for the best. C'mon, Karen, let loose. (peer pressure)

Also, I like the post idea. When people write about stuff they love, I tend to discover things that I probably wouldn't have tried before. Oh, and is that a Bob haircut? It looks just like mine, no joke. And mine's supposedly an A-line cut. At any rate, I agree, short hair is less maintenance and can look really great depending on the style. I think you're rockin' your short 'do. PROPS!

Yay! I'm glad you back me up on this post :)

You are right...it is an A-line, but I've heard it called an A-line bob. I have my hair cut kinda like the picture, but not exactly.

I think if I let loose completely, no one would want to read my blog anymore :)

Trust me, I would want to read your blog more if you let loose completely. :)
