Where carbs come to die….Delusions & Doughnuts

I beyond loath the mall on weekends. Fatties eating their calorie filled pretzels from the food court while pushing their soon to be fatty offspring in over sized strollers, I wont mention how disrespectful and delusional they are with leaving clothes (they darn well knew they couldn’t fit) all over the stores. Oh yeah, the tweens coming to show off their cute little ensembles that they can’t wear during the week due to uniforms at school. All in the hopes to get some girl or guy’s attention just to end up on “16& Pregnant.”

I just dont like people, okay.

Howbeit, of all days the shoes I order a week ago arrived so I had to pick them up.  In 16 minuets flat I was in and out of that store. 10 to bag and purchase the shoes and the other six was spent grabbing these cute Ralph Lauren Polo T-shirts I passed on my way to the exit door.

Here’s the skinny…

I have this Obey shirt that I bought two summers ago that is just beyond perfect; light weight, durable, preshrunk and an awesome color. I want more but when I found out the price tag of this amazing tee is $98 I just amused I was dehydrated or something and read it wrong because I bought my Obey tee at TJ Maxx for $16.99.

When I seen these Polo tees I was elated because I need some nice/easy T-shirts for summer as I’m trying my best to stay away from graphic tees. These t-shirts were only $14.99 each in the children section of course. You know I’m a slim little thang.

Granted they aren’t as soft as the Obey tees but just as durable and preshrunk. I already own one from the men section though it was $35.

So as usual thin win!

Earlier I was in the mall talking to a friend at Estee Lauder when this older well groomed gentlemen just walked up and interrupted my conversation to say “young man what skin cream you use because I will buy all of it, your skin is just zestful.”

At first I was like this guy has to be just fattening me up. Quite the contrary, right after an old woman approached me as well as my friend who I was initially talking to asked me where I get my skin care products.

For someone reason people think I spend real money on my skin.

Far from it, I am cheap!

I buy my facial products from the same place I get my groceries(if it’s an eating week.) First, let me say I don’t think I have perfect skin that is why I have to do so much to it.

Fellas seem to always forget that before a nice haircut or sharp ensemble your face should be your number two priority when facing the world, second to your waistline.

Last summer I posted my facial regime in it I stated that even with a regime one thing you have to do is change it up every now and again so that your skin won’t get immune.

Just last month I switched up my facial scrub and daily wash. Currently I’m using St. Ives Apricot scrub and Aveeno Pore Purifying facial wash. Both are under five dollars.

I try to stay as natural as possible with any products I use so that’s why I picked these two brands.

With the St. Ives scrub I don’t like apricot but I do like that the grit isn’t too abrasive and my blemishes has been fading. Also the scrub has salicylic acid in it which is an important ingredient for skin treatment.

With the Aveeno face wash I’ve been using the smart essential moisturizer from Aveeno over a year now and I love it so, I decided to try their wash. It’s really light and if you need a stronger wash then this isn’t for you. Granted with my skin my problem isn’t acne its oil. When I look for a new face wash I just want something that will unclog my pores and remove excess oil.

I think I’m going to do more “beauty & grooming” post for guys. Let me know if you found this useful or want more tips on the subject. Ladies tell your men.

Let me just say, I’ve been back in the gym not even a whole week and I couldn’t wait for the first chance to put on some shorts and show off my gams! However, this post isn’t about my treadmill triumphs. Yesterday in the mail I received my one-of-a-kind friendship bracelet from fellow blogger Amanda at Feast Fashion Faves.

One thing I love more than being brilliantly thin is new things and bracelets. Basically anything fat free.

Today was beyond a busy day so I didn’t even think about what I was wearing this morning. Only thing I knew for certain was to don my knew bracelet. I originally was only going to Instagram (BougieHippie) the bracelet, but I got so many complements from people today that I thought why not do a post.

Don’t you just love those day when you feel fat, tired and scruffy then a complete stranger stop you to say, “you look rather human today”? It’s usually something nicer, but I’m trying to stay humble.

Meanwhile, if you want one of her uber cool and beautifully packaged (I might add) bracelets stop by Feast Fashion Faves for details.

While I was out I met up with my buddy Kameron In Lincoln Heights to catch up and snap some shots of my new bracelet.

P.S
You know I almost threw these shorts away. Must was going through food withdrawals.

All month I’ve been purging for summer. This month I’m on a no sugar cleanser only eating fruit and nuts. While purging my body I decided to do the same to my apartment starting with my room. I have been bleaching, dusting and trashing everything in sight. Like my body I like my surrounding to minimal. After posting a pic of my bedroom I got a hefty amount of responses inquiring about my shelves.

When decorating my room I went shopping for a dresser. As you may know a nice dresser is pretty expensive and I am the first to admit I’m cheap. I couldn’t imagine paying over 100 bucks to only store my underwear. As well as I just seen buying a dresser set as an unimaginative way of decorating, I mean everyone goes out and buy a matching bedroom set.

When I’m not delirious from food deprecation I’m a crafter. I came up with the idea to make my own dressers. I bought 2 $15 bookshelves from Wal-Mart
along with 6 $4.99 wicker baskets from Gordmans of 3 different sizes. I stored my undies in the baskets, folded my shirts in a nice presentation and accessorized the top accordingly.

There you have it a slim, sleek and smart dresser.

I guess you can call this my “Anorexic Style DIY.”

Want to know how I really stay so thin? I stay single.

Whether you’re in love or breaking up why is it that relationships make people so fat?

Now that I’m back in Kansas I’ve been catching up with my buddies I left here during my gallivanting around Dallas. Sunday my friend we will call Sam short for Samantha (yes of Sex & the City I mean she did blow up dating Smith) and I went to the Kansas Wildlife Exhibit at Riverside Park here in Wichita to catch up.

Well here’s the thing Sam and his mate has been together a little over 3 months and when Sam walked up after a month of not seeing each other I was flabbergasted by his size.

Granted he’s 6’2 however he has had to put on more than a few lbs. Now I know the meaning of love handles. Being the true skinny friend I am I had to say something “wow you’re fat are you depressed?” To his response “no, I’m in love.”

Omg, if that’s what love do keep it away from me.

Same with another friend that’s going through a breakup whom I like to call the Human Garbage Disposal. This breakup has her devouring anything edible and from the size of her blouse that’s debatable.

I think the worst thing you can do is forget about your waistline when in or exiting a relationship because two things will happen; (1) Your mate will tire of you, (2) When it’s time to start dating again no one will want you and nobody likes a fatty.

Redefine Date Night: Don’t eat out every night cook at home at least you can portion control your meal. A date doesn’t consist of entering a restaurant, join a gym together or go running at a park together. Do active things together. Don’t be afraid to tell you mate their getting a little hefty as long as you’re staying in the gym yourself of course. Don’t be a hippo calling the elephant enormous.

Revenge is Best Severed Stealth: Don’t turn to food after being dumped. Run don’t walk to your nearest gym. The best way to get back at an ex is to look amazing and you can’t do that porky.

Remember You: All too often we (I mean you) grow too comfortable when in love some have the mentality “well I got my mate I can skip a workout or two” how you get them is how you keep them. Do let yourself go because you left the dating game. Give them something to show off.

Now that I’ve given you some of my deliciously genius advice I am really loving the weather in Kansas currently. I was able to wear my boomer I got from Target a couple of months ago for 12 dollars with my Jayhawks snapback for 25 bucks.

It’s funny because I sold the expensive boomer I bought from Hollister last summer because I thought Military boomers were over.

Just like a fatty after a good meal I have been lazy with blogging. I’ve come to my hometown Dallas, TX what was supposed to be an Easter weekend of family, friends and fun that has turn into a month long skinny adventure.

When I say skinny I mean I haven’t had over 2000 calories since I’ve been here due to my family not respecting that I’m a vegetarian and I refuse to eat anything cooked in or around meat. Howbeit I am having a beyond brilliant time.

I also have the energy and inspiration to do new posts about all things thin for the duration of my trip!I have some relationship rants, movie and book reviews as well as some fun fashion being that I have been living out of a suitcase for three weeks. Thanks for continuing to stop by. Oh yeah, this month marks a years since I’ve started this blog and the growth has been amazing!

Bon appetite.

I don’t like to post night pics because they don’t ever seem to come out right but, I’m out downtown Wichita enjoying the “Final Friday” Art & Music crawl. I kinda like my look tonight so thought I’d stop for a min and do a quick post. Also, I look pretty swell for someone who just devoured two rolls of sushi. I’m walking it off as I post this so its all good.
