Sephora Disney Collection

As some of you may know, Sephora has a special line of Disney products called the Disney Collection. Basically they have picked a princess and come out with nail polish, eye shadow, lipstick, and perfume that interpret that specific princess. In the past year, they have come out with two different princesses: Cinderella and Jasmine. Today, Sephora has released the third and final princess that will complete the Disney Collection: Ariel!

 I am so excited for this because I was most likely not going to purchase anything from the Disney Collection unless they came out with an Ariel line. Sephora hasn't released the specifics, but they said that the line will premiere later this June. Hopefully I can get my hands on it and show you guys how it looks! Here's the teaser Sephora released today:

It looks fantastic and I'm thinking I might wear it during the Disneyland Half Marathon (since I'm dressing up as Ariel). Can't wait to buy!

Running Playlist

Throughout a long or short run, I need music. And not just any music; I need music that will get my excited and hyped up to get through the next 30-50 minutes. Some people are the type that can't even listen to their music when they run, but I am obviously the opposite. I get bored easily, so going through the same course everyday without some music to make it enjoyable would make my run horrible. I actually run faster with music. Anyways, today I thought I would share my current running playlist with you all for those of you who need new pump-up songs or for those of you who are just interested on what type of music I listen to. You can tell a lot about a person from the music you listen to. So here it is:

1. "I Lived" -OneRepublic
2. "I Need Your Love" -Calvin Harris (feat. Ellie Goulding)
3. "Let's Kill Tonight" -Panic! At The Disco
4. "I Knew You Were Trouble" -Taylor Swift
5. "My Life Would Suck Without You" -Kelly Clarkson
6. "3" -Britney Spears
7. "More" -Usher
8. "Lucky Strike" -Maroon 5
9. "The One That Got Away" -Katy Perry
10. "Giving Up the Gun" -Vampire Weekend
11. "Counting Stars" -OneRepublic
12. "Let The Groove Get In" -Justin Timberlake
13. "Figure 8" -Ellie Goulding
14. "22" -Taylor Swift
15. "Set Off" -Hey Monday
16. "Something Good Can Work" -Two Door Cinema Club

This isn't even the full playlist but I think you guys get the gist of what I listen to. Love it or hate it, this is the stuff that gets me through those tough runs.

June Goals

Happy hump day! I hope everyone celebrates today because we are so much closer to summer! I can see it. Today I thought I would share my fitness goals for the month of June. I'm hoping this post will keep me accountable for these goals and really make me realize if I'm staying on track with half marathon training.

1. Run at least 4 days a week. This sounds dreadful to me but I know I need to make it happen in order for me to get on track with training.

2. Run 5 miles. This also seems very dreadful. The most I've run while training is 2 miles. I just need to remind myself that September 1st is not that far away. Crunch time!

3. Stretch. I admit, I am horrible at this. You think being a dancer and a new runner I would be very good about stretching, but sadly I am not. I really hope I can learn to stretch before my workouts as well as after my workouts.

4. Eat healthier. This one will be very tough since summer is just calling my name to sodas, candy, chips, and chocolate. I'm telling myself I can still have those things, I just need to have them in minimal amounts.

Hopefully at the end of the month I can say I did all of these things. Have a great day everyone!

Memorial Day Weekend: Part 3

We concluded our memorial day weekend on Sunday and Monday. On Sunday, we all went to the last Cardinals/Dodgers game. Cardinals won 5-3!!! Yay! This game we actually ordered seats in the main field instead of the outfield pavilion. It was a lot nicer: food, stores, seats, shade, and view. The main thing that was especially nice was the shade! It made for a very nice last game.

Seats right on the foul line.

Cardinals celebrating after the game.

I'm so glad that we had such a relaxing weekend away. It was much needed :)

When we got back home, we went straight to the Shelbys house to play with their new golden retriever puppy, Scarlet. She is just the cutest thing! The Shelbys had a barbecue on Monday so we went over there and got some more time with baby Scarlet.

So adorable! Have a great Monday everyone :)

Memorial Day Weekend: Part 2

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is enjoying this day of rest. Yesterday I talked about the first Cardinals game we went to. Well the next day, we went to the second game of the series. It was in the outfield again and it was a day game. Which means it was HOT! I reapplied sunscreen so many times I can't even count.

The game was at four but all of us kids wanted to go to batting practice so we left at around one to head to Dodger Stadium.

Game 2 was also a bobble head night. The first 50,000 fans would get a Jamie Jarrin bobble head as they walked through the gates. Jamie Jarrin was the Dodgers' Spanish broadcaster. Since I am not a Dodgers fan, I didn't really care for it. But as I entered the park, they did not hand me a bobble head. So I headed back a few steps to get one. As I was doing this, a couple Dodger fans came up to my three other siblings and asked them if they wanted a Carlos Beltran bobble head. They had been to a St. Louis game the week before and gotten three Carlos Beltran bobble heads and we were willing to trade with us. In a split second, the trade was over and I had just come back! I was pretty darn mad! I could've gotten a Carlos Beltran bobble head if the workers would've giving me the regular bobble head in the first place! But anyways, after a while of being mad, I decided I could just sell the Jamie Jarrin bobble head and get a good amount of money.

The actual baseball game didn't go too well. Cardinals lost 5-3. We still hit well but we just didn't have control over Adrian Gonzalez. That guy was literally on fire during the whole series! It was crazy. We all had lots of fun despite the loss.

Memorial Day Weekend: Part 1

This past weekend, me and my family spent memorial day in Los Angeles. We went to the three game series of the Dodgers versus, our favorites, the Cardinals! We of course went with our very good friends the Shelbys. We've been going to the Dodger/Cardinal series with them for a very, very long time.

The first game was a night game. It was perfect weather the whole weekend, but especially perfect this night. We all got In-N-Out before the game and then enjoyed snacks during the game. David Freese and Allen Craig both hit home runs that night! It was such a fun game to see. The Cardinals won in a shutout game, 7-0. Here are a few pics from the night...

After the game, the Dodgers kindly opened their field for everyone to come and enjoy the Friday Night Fireworks! The fireworks were even a special edition show just made for memorial day. It was such a good and enjoyable show.

It was definitely a fun time had for all. I loved every minute of it!

New TV Obsession

Just a quick post today. I don't know about you, but I can get easily distracted. So when my family got Netflix, my distraction level increased by 1000. Right now, I am hooked on the show Friday Night Lights. Have any of you guys watched it? In the past I have been hooked on One Tree Hill. Next, I am hoping to try Alias. But boy oh boy Friday Night Lights is very very good. :) I would highly recommend it!

xoxo
