Thursday Thoughts!

I've had such good vibes goin' for the past few hours...this may just be the best Thursday Thoughts ever cause I have some great news!

~I just got out of a class that I thought was going to be super long and boring 25 minutes early, so I'm back with plenty of extra time to blog about the good news I'm brimming at the rim with!

~It's freaking gorgeous and sunny and beautiful outside, and is climbing slowly back up to the 50s for the weekend. HALLELUJAH! I kept doing all of these crutch-themed photos...I could like start an Instagram or Tumblr and call myself Crutch Girl and just have all of these mysterious photos with my crutches peeking out of them. Lol anyways...

~MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, I GOT THE OKAY TO WALK AROUND IN PLACES OTHER THAN THE PT OFFICE WITHOUT MY AIRCAST/BOOT/BIONIC FOOT ON! I mean I could've taken it off whenever I wanted since it's just velcro, but I was told to bring my matching shoe to my appt today, and I left wearing it too! It hurt a little to bend my foot that way to put it in the shoe, but after that it hasn't bothered me. Their reasoning is that "I'll have more support in my sneaker than in my boot," which makes no sense to me because the boot was MADE for support, and has like a million layers of foam and air cushions in it. But either way, it was a super good day in that department. 

My PT person put it on my backpack because I had no other way to carry it... do you like my new keychain?! I'm actually not too embarrassed of how dorky this looks, I'm more proud of being able to walk without it, and I kinda feel like SuperWoman about the whole thing. It's casual. 

~One of my physical therapists is a reincarnated version of George Lopez, I swear. He looks so much like him, has his voice, AND HIS LAUGH! That's the scariest of all, the laugh. His sense of humor is slightly different though, thank goodness. Today one of the exercises they had me do was to start with my feet shoulder-width apart, then kick with my good foot (while standing on my bum foot, EEK!) and kick "George" in the back of the leg. They kept telling me to aim for his butt, but 1) that was a little...weird...for my taste and 2) I physically don't bend that way yet.

~Class registration went well, I only got locked out of one class, which is pretty good! I mean, this is supposed to only be the second day for freshmen to register, but a lot of freshman classes were practically full already, so there must be a loophole! Anyways, I had picked out a second choice for that class anyways, so on Mondays I'll have a whopping 4 classes (starting at 9am, ugh), but on Tuesdays I'll only have one, and it starts at 11 (so I can sleep in to get rid of the torturous memories of my jam-packed Mondays). Good thing my Monday blogpost is at night, cause I'm gonna be busy! The only thing that bummed me out about this lock out was that Miranda and I were gonna be in the same class together, along with possibly my other friend Emily. Boo :( 

HEADLINE: Crutch Girl sighted with two matching, real shoes on, for the first time in almost a month.

~My registration time was during my PT appt., so I had to stop my gait-stepping to go log on and pick my classes. I did it in exactly 3 minutes, because I was so well-prepared and had all the course numbers, etc., written down (; George Lopez wanted to put me in the torture tub of Arctic death and destruction while I was registering, but I was like uhhh no way, my laptop is smooth as a stone and would probably have slid off my lap and into the whirlpool in .025 seconds had I attempted that. Clearly my coordination is crap....that's how I ended up in PT in the first place, right?

~I'm debating about whether to miss the first hour of a capella practice tonight to go to my third merit point event this week (I'm gonna have amazing housing next year, fingers crossed!)....there's this cool women empowerment thing going on, so of course Miranda and Emily want to go (I'm the one that told them it was going on, so you're welcome ladies). I haven't missed practice in awhile, so I feel like that could be excusable...possibly? What to do, what to do...

~I guess that's all for today. I'm just super excited about wearing matching shoes!!! And also about the fact that I can walk around with only one crutch now- I keep doing that to go to the bathroom, and it's so nice to be able to go to the bathroom without a wheelchair taking up the entire room! I'm shaky and look like an old person when I do it, but progress is progress, and walking was all the wanted all along.(: 

Keep on the lookout for my Thirsty Thursday post later today- I'm reviewing a tea this week! How unusual, I know.

Thanks for reading! What are your Thoughts this Thursday?

P.S. I forgot to post my beauty video that went up later in the afternoon yesterday in my What I'm Loving Wednesday, so here it is so y'all don't miss it! (: 

My Throwback Thursday video will also be up later today! Love you all! <3

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I've been dying to write this post since I wrote the one from last week...the favorites have just been piling up! I love writing all of my posts, but this one is probably my most favorite weekly series because it's a lot of beauty favorites, so it's like a secret favorites video that people who just watch my videos and don't read my blog won't see! I'm here watching Ashleigh again (she was in my last week's Wednesday Favorites post, if you're confused), and Miranda's about to just brought me my cup of iced coffee and is joining me in the lounge (and is currently reading over my shoulder because she can't wait to see what my favorites are!) So let's get this show on the road!

I'm sorry that this is the most ratchet logo ever. Someone make me one!

~Tide To Go This stuff has saved my butt SO many times this week! Normally I just use a stain stick I have in my room that I also really like, but that stain stick doesn't dry and makes the spot blue until you wash it, so it's not like you can wear that article of clothing again before laundry day. I put my Tide pen in my backpack last week, since I'm CONSTANTLY getting stains...literally, every single day, I stain at least one thing that I'm wearing. It usually happens the second I pick up a coffee cup. But anyways, I've been using this pen, and it dries clear so you can keep on wearing whatever piece of clothing you wore, and it completely takes the stains out! You could probs go a really long time without having to wash something if you just used this pen every time you dropped something on it....jussayin. 

~Aussie 3-Minute Miracle Deeep Conditioner I have been obsessed with hair masks and deep conditioners ever since my Paul Mitchell Moisture stuff ran out...I forget the exact name but it was in my August Favorites video!

Anyways, this is my "home deep conditioner"- when I go home for the weekends, this is the one that I use when I'm there so I don't have to drag the one I use on campus with me. This is actually my mom's that she got when her hair got really brittle a couple years ago, but she never really uses it so I thought I'd help her get rid of it (; it's probably one of the cheapest deep conditioners out there, and makes your hair soo0oo0oo0 soft! The second I wash it out I feel my hair get softer, and I don't even use a regular conditioner afterwards- my hair is de-tangled enough to be able to comb it out without even a leave in conditioner or anything! Amaaazzzing. (Miranda would like me to point out that the sub-name of this is Moist, a word that she hates with a passion. Please change this, Aussie.) 

I don't own this picture.

~This isn't so much of a thing I love, but more of a thing that maaaybe won't suck- next semester. My class registration date is tomorrow (during my PT appointment, so I can picture it now- my feet will literally be in the torture tub of Arctic death, and I'm gonna have to jump out and go get my laptop to sign up for classes lololol. This should be interesting) Anyways, it doesn't look like I'm gonna be in a math or a science class! The req'd science class I'd have to take is already all filled up (which I don't understand, because they were like that yesterday yet freshman registration started today, but it's a freshman class? Wut? Who is stealing our classes?) and I should technically be all done with math classes since I took really high level, AP math classes in high school. The credits haven't transferred properly though, so I have some beef with the Registrar office that I haven't gotten the chance to take care of yet, so that will all have to happen next semester! Oh no, poor me....all liberal arts classes, what will I ever do?! (You could cut my sarcasm with a knife).

~My New L.L. Bean Jacket My mom bought it for me at a sale literally two weeks ago, which was perfect timing because ever since yesterday, it's been freezing here! It's supposed to be good for up to -20 degrees, which it hasn't been yet, but it's sure felt like it! I got a pretty plummy purple color, and it's lined with flannel on the inside. Unlike every other winter jacket I've owned in the past, it doesn't make me look like a huge puff ball, and actually has a little form to it at the waist! It's comfy and light and not too bulky- perfect. 

~Throat Tea I'm doing a full review on this tomorrow for my Thirsty Thursday post (most likely), so I won't go into detail or even say the full name! But long story short, I keep waking up with a sore throat, so I'll have this tea in the late afternoon or night. It's delishhh and works semi-well. Mostly it just tastes good and the warmth is soothing to my throat. 

~My Giveaway & also my followers It's kind of lame to me to post this as a favorite, but I just looked at my blog followers AND THERE ARE NOW 7! SEVEN!! I had 3 a week and a half ago....I'm guessing they're newbies who found this majestical blog of total seriousness because they have to follow it for my giveaway. BUT EITHER WAY, I'm really really glad you all are here and I'm so happy to have you! I hope you like my posts, and always feel free to request something if you'd like to see me do a post about it. Here's my giveaway, if you haven't entered yet- it's super easy and there are 2 winners! 

~Colgate Optic White Enamel White Toothpaste

I picked this up on my trip to Target last weekend (which I will post sometime this week!) because my Aquafresh Whitening toothpaste (in the orange tube) worked okay but not to the level I'd like, and the taste kind of made me nauseous because I'm very picky with my mints. THIS ONE WORKS SO WELL! My teeth look whiter and more clear/less stained, if that makes sense- I feel like the entire tooth is one uniform shade, which wasn't exactly the case before. The mint taste is okayyy, it grew on me throughout the first few times I used it. The toothpaste has a weird warming sensation when you use it, which I can't tell if I like or not. But I really do love this stuff, and it was only around $3 and on an endstand in Target. It makes me look forward to brushing! Every time I have a meal, I'm tempted to go run to the bathroom and pull this stuff out. Plus it's in the kind of tube I like where the cap doesn't completely come off, so that's another plus!

That's all for now, folks! I'm uploading a video to my beauty channel right now- an 8 minute video shouldn't take 3+ hours to upload! The crappy dorm wifi is definitely not a favorite! I'll put it here when it's up!

Thanks for reading! What are you loving this Wednesday?
