We appreciate your patience . . .

Hey folks,
I want to thank you all for your patience and must request for one more week!  I should be be fully moved into the house by the end of next week!  Once that is all settled Healthy Obsession of A Girlie Tomboy (and it's author) should go back on it's path to a healthy lifestyle and regular format!

On the healthy living front:
Needless to say, I have had trouble maintaining a workout schedule and healthy eating regimen during this transition period.  My mindset had been work, pack, work on house, sleep.  While I get lots of exercise moving my stuff from the apartment to the house and then working on the house, it still doesn't give me the same satisfaction as going out and running or working on the new strength training regimen that I got from Snap Fitness 24-7.  With the wedding 5.5 months away, I really need to step up my game.  There are a couple of motivating factors (outside of the wedding) that I have in my sights.  Hopefully I will be able to share that with you all soon!

On the fashion front:
It's May 1st!  You know what that means?  GOOD BYE APRIL PURSE!
 You have served me well. 

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAY PURSE!
My authentic Chanel Purse that my coworker bought for me in NYC last summer.  Yes it's real, and yes I did pay only $40.00 for it!  Now if only I work the same magic for my dream Coach purse!

The only problem with this purse is that I can't fit my camera into it.  I may have to attach the camera strap to the camera bag and carry both.  A girl's got to have both her tech and her purse with her at all times!

On the active living front:
Well like I said, been working on the house which is a great workout.  However, at the same time, eating habits have gone to the wayside.  *Cross Fingers* I will get a run in tomorrow.  I'm starting to think that the lack of focused exercise is aggravating my migraines.  Marcin and I both agree that we need to go back to the gym and that we have been running ragged because of the house work. 

Countdown to My Birthday!
Today I shall begin a new section of my blog that is a throw back to it's origins.  Originally,  I started this blog as a venue to write about my current shopping or topic obsessions.  A majority of the early blogs talked about purses or jewelry.  In the spirit of that original spark of Healthy Obsessions of a Girlie Tomboy, I will now document the 16 things that are currently on my wish list.  Why only 16 things?  Well, I'm glad that you asked?  Well, my birthday is on May 16th of course!  So here it goes . . .  


Birthday Wish List item #16 - Bare Minerals Make-up brushes - I'm in desperate need of new make-up brushes!  While I've been taking care of mine since I've bought them, they are now shedding bristles like a mo fo!  I use Bare Minerals make up because it's the only one that I found that gives me great coverage, but doesn't sit heavy on my face.

I have the same chanel purse in black! I have't worn it yet. It has gold along the straps and I never wear anything that matches gold. I hope the moving process lightens up for you a little! I got everything unpacked which felt amazing..until I went back to the old apartment to get the last of the boxes.. it felt like I was starting all over again.
