a better amaris 3.0

i recently joined a gym. i've even gone as far as hiring a personal trainer. busting my ass with strength training and cardio, etc. i know that i will never ever be tiny and that's beyond cool, but i wouldn't mind fitting into my favorite pair of jeans again. actually, i've forbade myself from purchasing jeans until i reach my goal. in the meantime it looks like leggings for me!

about a year and i half ago i fell in love with these CRAZY gold leggings at target, but for some reason never bought them? :(



then one day i was perusing the lovely wares at b&lu (a place to find super fantastic clothes for the zaftig set) and i came upon these bad boys.

can you say kismet?

so yeah, wish me luck on my legging clad journey of wellness. i've even started eating better (cooking my own meals helps), and drinking buckets full of water everyday. is it too geeky to say that i'm excited about looking, and feeling healthier? ha ha fuck it, i'm so ready :) all the same, i'm not going to say that i am banishing pizza, beer, and cupcakes forever cuz that would be one of the filthiest lies.

p.s. i promise to wear dresses, tunics, and shirts that at least cover my bum during this time of knit leg wear. pinkie swear.

kid stuff.

so the music that i used to love as a middle schooler now causes me to erupt in bouts of hysterical laughter. i was a fun kid. if i could travel back in time i'd totally hang out with teenage amaris! i'd also tell her to pluck her eyebrows, stop holding her feelings in (or eating them), wear flattering clothes, and to keep on wearing green, glittery lipstick.









golden, right?!

aaand then the jon spencer blues explosion's music turned me into a woman! the end.

it's magic part ii

whoa, has it really been a month since my last post? ha ha that sucks.

apart from the flotsam, the jetsum, and spam mail, the internet can be a wonderfully magnificent place. i could go on and on about countless websites that teach you about helping others, helping yourself, making art, getting inspired, saving the world, etc. however, i will not go on and on about all of these aforementioned web gems, because you'll wind up falling asleep (if you haven't already).

let's talk about tumblr. ohhh tumblr. say what you want, but that bitch rules. it's like a feast for the eyes and ears. all awesome images, cupcakes, beer, glitter, dresses, and pizza. i get inspired by the melange of things posted there on a regular basis. it's also safe to say that i prefer it over social networking sites. i'd rather get stoked about ideas, and images than lurk someone or write on their wall. ha ha i don't know?

some of my most favorite tumblelogs (in no particular order, doy) would include:

youcankeepthechange

dogganghappened

sparkleneelysparkle

srisiris

radwolf

meganmcisaac

joncarling

coreena

rickkanelives

a straight up cornucopia of magnificence right there. all of these people infuse me with wonder and awe, even if i don't know some of them in real life, or whatever.

ha ha so i try to make a blog posting about the raddest sites ever, and it becomes a love letter to tumblr? of course it does.

fidelity.

i've been cheating on this blog with that little tumblr minx for way too long. flaking out and stuff :( i'll be back to posting some super fun jazz soon, though. i've got so much to tell you. also, i sound like a broken record. sorry about that :)

a word of advice.

do not watch this when you are trying to wind down for the night.




MAGIC.

it's magic part i.

ok. so i'm pretty much treating this thing like one of the many abandoned journals of my youth. you know what i'm talking about...the fancy leather bound one that you buy at borders, that you write like one entry in. or the 99 cent marble notebook that you intend on littering with collage magic, and it JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. no mas! i'm going to get off my ass, and uhhh get back on my ass? ha ha something like that.

the internet is tricky, being productive (on the internet, and otherwise) is trickier. talking in circles yay! what i'm trying to say is that is that i am once again up and at 'em on the productivity tip. new home, job hunting, life changing, creating things, bright eyed and busy tailed, etc.

so yeah, expect to see more of me on here.

p.s. if the internet were a video game this guy would surely be one of it's bosses.



i can't front; dude's songs are kinda catchy and memorable :( also, much like that "lotion" video, i like pretending that he's every creepy guy that i've ever known :)

i'm not mad.

whoa! so it turns out that hard candy will be joining forces with walmart. the makeup/nail polish junkie in me (i have three traincases full of stuff, you guys) is sooo beyond stoked. are you? :)
