Brain Dump! I'm BAAAACK, so let's catch up!

Whoa whoa whoa now, it's been many a month since I blogged regularly- I was really in the swing of things in December when I was constantly posting about my experience being on a college campus on crutches / in a wheelchair, and my daily experiences in physical therapy (which, as it later turned out, is quite the place to meet people you later end up dating...) And although it's a blessing to be up and walking again, in a weird way, I kind of miss certain things about that chunk of my life! Then I figured that I was probably just missing blogging, so I thought I'd make a mini comeback.

With my super crazy summer work schedule, I make no promises about keeping up with posts, but I'll see what I can do (;

I thought I'd start with a weird combo of Tuesday Thoughts/ What I'm Loving Wednesday / the other types of posts I used to do on here, but let's just call it a brain dump because I have no idea what's going to come out...the only rule as far as I'm concerned is that it should relate to the topics I used to blog about and ones I hope to blog about in the coming weeks!

1) First off, can I just talk about how bummed I am that although I qualified for the Influenster Spring Voxbox, I never got it because I guess it got lost in the mail?! They keep sending me emails about it, and it looks like it was jam packed with the kind of beauty goodies I'd be overjoyed to receive, and each email just bums me out more and more. Not fair!!! There go a bunch of blog post and video ideas I was thinking of....

2) Random, but the Spotify playlist I'm listening to while posting this is called "Strangers" by RAC. It came out in 2014 and apparently it's an album, but it looks like a compilation of a bunch of different artists. It's very mellow and cheery and perfect for writing! Take note, you creative, hipster souls looking for coffee shop playlists to accompany your poetry!

3) Speaking of Spotify playlists I'm loving, as I've been doing the past few months, I made a June 2014 Favorite Songs playlist (although to be honest, I've been listening to my May Favorites more than the ones for this month! Ha!) that I need to share in my June 2014 Faves video for my beauty channel, if I ever get a chance to film it! I suppose I could do it today, but my room is still in shambles from putting in my air conditioner, and I've yet to gather all of my favorites together. These favorites videos are quite a process, as I'm sure my fellow beauty gurus empathize with!

4) I left my coffee downstairs. It was only half a cup because that's all that was left in the carafe :/ I guess my parents really hit it hard this morning! Like mother/father, like daughter, I guess....

5) Pssst, let me let you in on a little secret- I filmed a College Dorm Room Tour video the day before I moved out (sooooo over a month ago now) that I haven't had the chance to edit yet, so if you're subscribed to my beauty channel on Youtube (which I really hope you are because I kind of, you know, pour my heart and soul into - you can go straight to it by typing MissGlamBam.com into your browser) you can look forward to that in the coming weeks! I've never done any type of room tour on my channel before, although they're highly requested, so this is a first for us all :)

6) I've been trying to redo and redecorate my room this summer, so if you have any good room cleaning or decorating tips or inspiration, or even a good Youtube video on it (I know I've used The 'Tube as a major source so far in my process), please send it my way, either as a comment to this post or through some other kind of social media: my Twitter is @photoholicgurli, my YT email is everything.elle@yahoo.com, and my Instagram is elleohelle86.

Let me know if you like this kind of post- I figured conversational updates on my life are the way most bloggers run their blogs, so we'll catch up little bits and pieces at a time. This post was long enough, so I'll continue with all of the news in my beauty guru / new planner enthusiast life in another post on another day! I have most of tomorrow off, so I could be back sooner than you think!

Thanks for reading!

Tuesday Tidbits

I just got back to my room a few minutes ago- I have been go go go all day! Class, then showing up super early for physical therapy and having an appointment for almost an hour, and then another class!

This week I seem to be starting all of my weekly post series- last night was Monday Night Musings, which you can read here. Today is Tuesday Tidbits, instead of Tuesday Troubles like my blogging idol, RamblingsofASuburbanMom.com, did today, since last night's post was kind of more complain-y, and two in a row of those would just be obnoxious.

So here are my tidbits for so far this Tuesday! Enjoy!

~I posted about how my friend group and I went out to dinner for Miranda's birthday last night, and here's an artsy picture I took when we were at the bus stop, waiting in the freezing cold (I quite liked it): 

~I did super well in physical therapy today. It was my first time going to the on-campus office, and can I just point out how disturbing it was that they have a "Wall of Pain" with pictures of bruises that look like galaxies, and something that looked like a gunshot wound?!!?

Anyways, they had me putting weight on my bum foot, and by the time I left, I could almost walk on it without my Aircast boot, and walk with the help of my crutches and the boot. When I got to my room, I could actually limp a little on my heel when I was wearing the boot. This is super exciting, because all I want is to be able to walk again! Being so co-dependent and helpless is driving me crazy!!!

~On another note....I'm pretty sure that all of the Public Safety officers that drive me to all of my classes think my name is Ella...not Elle. Awk. I thought they all just had weird accents and said my name weird, but now when I call to ask for a ride they're like "oh, this must be Ella!" So I just say yes because it's just too late to correct them now without me looking really dumb. Whoops. Cringe.

~I have so many videos to film, and it will probably only be light for another two hours! I should probably get ready or something, or just edit some older video files I have just hanging out in my iMovie to make up for the upload gap. BTW I'll be uploading my newest Voxbox unboxing video in about an hour, so I'll post it RIGHT HERE when it's up so you can all check it out! It's one of my favorites to date- and then I'll have all of the products to blog about, because my posts won't be spoilers anymore (: I'll also have to update my post with my complete list of Influenster programs- so much to do, so much to do!

~I haven't had any caffeine so far today, and didn't have any yesterday (which eventually resulted in a mild headache, but I couldn't take anything for it because I had already taken Ibuprofen for my foot/ankle! arghh >:( ) I should really get on that...but half the battle is always choosing what to drink, since I have such a hoard of K-cups and coffee grounds and tea bags by now. I'm not complaining at all though, this is like heaven for a caffeine lover like myself <3 I have lots to do in real life and on the Internet today, so I'd better get that coffee pumpin' in me! 

~I always forget about eBates! Miranda was just about to order things online from Sephora, and then I told her to check out eBates first! I can do another post kind of explaining it sometime, but basically you get a percentage of cash back when you shop online, and a lot of times they have coupon codes or codes for free products, in Sephora's case. You can check it out here.

I hope you guys enjoyed - if you want to do this post too and put your link in the comments, I would be more than happy to check it out! It can be like a mini link-up until I figure out the technology to do a real bull blown one!

Thank you all for reading! What kind of post should I do next? I've really got the bloggin' bug this week!
