30 Day Blog Challenge

We all know I love a good "survey", quiz or blog challenge and while browsing Pinterest, I came across this AND since I feel I need to post more, this is probably going to help. I will be posting other things and random posts as well, but this will be at least included in the post or on it's own. Hope you guys enjoy :)

DAY ONE

YOUR BLOG'S NAME

I chose "Beautiful Blonde Disaster" because that's how I feel 95% of the time. I am NOT one of those girls whose believes or thinks they are beautiful in any way, so I wasn't sure how to feel about including the word Beautiful. However, beautiful disaster explains me to a T and it flows. On the outside, it may look like I have my sh*t together, but really, I don't and sometimes I feel like such a mess. 

The "Blonde" comes from the fact that I was born a natural blonde and I've been blonde for about 25 years. It's just in the last few years I've recently changed my hair color from blonde to dark. Sometimes the up keep on blonde is just too much. 

So What Wednesday [10]

It's been a while since I did a SWW post and I cannot figure out why it's been so difficult to take the time on a Wednesday. Oh well, I made a promise to blog more and so far, I think I've been holding up to that!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT IF ... 

➜ I am enjoying being on vacation and would rather be on a "permanent vacation" than having to work? Doesn't everyone though?

➜ I am ADDICTED to Blue Bloods and now in love with Donnie Wahlberg

➜ I am looking forward to Fall weather because of Fall fashion AND pumpkin everything!

➜ This has been my mood lately, literally, no lies ....

➜ I have a list of "comfort movies" that I watch whenever I  am feeling upset or anything along those lines

➜ I change my nail polish color every week 

➜ I have been sleeping in a little lately. Either way, in a few weeks I won't have the privilege of sleeping in, so mine as well take advantage of it now, right?

➜ I am now addicted to "adult coloring"! It's been a great way for me to "de stress" and take my mind off of things. My brother's girlfriend gave me a few coloring pages, but I went through those faster than I thought so yesterday, I went out and purchased some books of my own. This will definitely keep me busy for the next few weeks. AND, I am looking forward to Johanna Basford releasing her new book Lost Ocean. I won't be close to finished these ones before that one comes out but it's my goal to have all three of her books (Secret Garden, Enchanted Forest and Lost Ocean) and COMPLETE them. And ... I'm sure she'll keep coming out with more. I guess I found a new way to "spend my money" - oh boy!

➜ I surprise myself sometimes. So far, this is my favorite page that I have finished

➜ I am thinking of trying Kayla Itsines BBG. Has anyone tried it? Thoughts?

➜ I may be addicted to eggs and Franks Hot Sauce now! I needed to switch it up as eating plain and boring eggs was starting to get boring 

What are you guys saying SO WHAT to this Wednesday?

The Alphabet Game

While browsing my Bloglovin' feed while enjoying my usual cup of tea in the morning, I came across Running with Spoons and her A to Z "survey". If you know me, you know I am a sucker for these types of things so here it goes ... Enjoy! :)

A - AGE: As much as I would love to say I'm still 19, I'm actually 26 .. and a half. 

B - BIGGEST FEAR: Heights, bugs and needles

C - CURRENT TIME: 4:09pm on a Monday

D - DRINK YOU HAD LAST: Decaf orange pekoe tea. I don't think the amount of tea I have during the day would be considered healthy 

E - EASIEST PERSON TO TALK TO: If I absolutely have to talk to someone, it's usually my mom or a few select friends

F - FAVORITE SONG: I don't have one favorite song, it change all the time. Usually, I have a song of the moment and right now it would be Look Good For You by Selena Gomez

G - GROSSEST MEMORY: It didn't actually happen to me but when my brother and I were younger, my mom would take us up north to our cottage and we had a dock that everyone would fish from. Well, my brother went to cast out (I think that's proper terminology) and instead of casting out into the water, his hook went right into my moms arm. The worst part, my mom never felt a thing. 

H - HOMETOWN: A nice little town in Southern Ontario, Canada 

I - IN LOVE WITH: The fact that fall weather is coming up which means fall FASHION! I am a summer girl but when it comes to fashion, I prefer fall over any season! 

J - JEALOUS OF:  My brother and his girlfriend who are sitting at Avondale Dairy Bar enjoying the best ice cream. For those of you who don't know or who have never heard of Avondale Dairy Bar, it's NOT your corner Avondale store. This place makes their own ice cream and has literally more flavors than BR and flavors you couldn't even think of. It's a staple summer tradition down here. 

K - KINDEST PERSON YOU KNOW: I know a lot of kind people so it wouldn't be fair for me to say just one person

L - LONGEST RELATIONSHIP: 6 years 

M - MIDDLE NAME: I actually have two middle names but I won't tell you both. The first one starts with an M and the second one is actually Sophia and I love that name

N - NUMBER OF SIBLINGS: I have a younger brother, two older brothers, a step brother and step sister. BUT, in the immediate family, I am the only girl

O - ONE WISH: That every time I pinned something on Pinterest it went right into my closet at home AND, let's be real and honest, that I could eat whatever I wanted without gaining weight

 P - PERSON YOU SPOKE TO LAST ON THE PHONE: Someone about setting up an appointment later on this week

Q - QUESTION YOU'RE ALWAYS ASKED: "Are you okay", "How do I get your job" and "Is it fun working on a cruise ship"

R - REASON TO SMILE: Everything and anything

S - SONG YOU LAST SANG: Whistle While You Work It by Katy Tiz. No idea why that song came to my mind but I haven't stopped singing in since yesterday

T - TIME I WOKE UP: Today, I believe it was around 8:45am 

U - UNDERWEAR COLOR: Black

V - VACATION DESTINATION: The only sort of "vacation" plans I have as of now, would be heading out to Cali for my next contract and that ship is based out of Long Beach and goes to Catalina Island, Cabo and another small island in Mexico

W - WORST HABIT: Oh dear, where do I begin! I would have to say swearing and binge watching shows

X - X RAYS YOU'VE HAD: The emergency room used to be my second home. Most of these injuries come from 20 years of dancing, 7 years of cheerleading and 6 years of soccer. My back, my nose, my toe/foot, chest and neck. So pretty much everything

Y - YOUR FAVORITE FOOD: Pizza, anything with chocolate and anything with cookie dough

Z - ZODIAC SIGN: Scorpio and it happens to be very accurate

If you guys end up doing this yourself, leave a comment and let me know so I can check it out :)

#MotivationalMonday

Sunday Currently - Aug 16 v.33

Here we are yet again, another Sunday. I can't believe there are only three more Sunday's left in August. Where does the time go?

Linking up with Siddathornton for this edition.

C U R R E N T L Y 

READING: Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

WRITING: This edition os TSC and many pro/con lists

MUSIC:  Song(s) of the moment - Look Good For You by Selena Gomez 

LISTENING: To a movie on TV. I will admit, it's The Blair Witch Project. It came across on my feed and I haven't seen it in so long ... thought, why not! No judging please. 

GUILTY PLEASURE: This week hasn't been too bad but I had the best champagne and strawberry cupcake last night at a family party. I think that tops the list!

THINKING: As usual, my mind is everywhere. Do I do this, do that, don't do that ... it's horrible!

NAIL COLOR: Love Potion - Sephora by O.P.I

DRINK: Orange pekoe tea

FOOD: Haven't really had anything to eat yet, but definitely thinking Pizza Hut for dinner. Sundays are made for movie marathons and pizza right?? 

SMELLING: Nothing

HOPING: For a sign in the next few days about which direction I should head in

TV SHOW: I started to watch Blue Bloods the other day and I am quite surprised. I wasn't planning on getting hooked half way through the first episode but now, I can't stop watching. And, uhm, HELLO Donnie Wahlberg! Have any of you watched this show? 

WEARING: Comfortable pants and tee

LOVING: Last night my brother and I attended a birthday for a very close family friend. We saw people we haven't seen in so long and it was SO SO nice catching up with everyone. It's funny how people turn into your family and even though you may not see them all the time or even talk all the time, when you're together, it's like no time has passed at all. 

WISH LIST: To be able to get back into my work out routine. Whatever I have been dealing with the last little while hasn't really given me "motivation" and I would like it back, ASAP!

NEEDING: To make up my mind. I know, it seems like every time I write a TSC post, I need to make up my mind on some issue. However, this isn't an easy decision to make and for some reason, I cannot feel confident when I think I have made up my mind. 

BLESSING: Everyone in my life

FEELING: Hopeful and optimistic 

CLICKING: They keyboard and PS3 controller

EXCITEMENT: Our annual CNE trip is coming up next weekend which usually marks the end of summer, unofficially

What did you guys get up to this weekend? Enjoy your Sunday! 

Five on Friday

Here's to another weekend and I hope it's enjoyable. I have a family birthday to attend tomorrow night so I am looking forward to seeing some people I haven't seen in a long time. In the next few weeks, things will slowly start to fall into place, one way or another and to be honest, I am looking forward to some consistency.

Linking up with A Liz Adventures for today's edition of FOF.

ONE

I am slowly starting to get over this week long "stomach flu/bug" or whatever it is I've come down with. It's been a very long week and I am still not able to eat a full meal. I'm run down and exhausted and cannot wait to get over this. 

TWO

I FINALLY gave in and purchased my first Lilly Pulizter agenda for 2015-2016 season. I had such a difficult time deciding what planner I wanted and what size to get. They have small, medium, large and jumbo and in so many beautiful patterns. I decided to go with the Jumbo as I usually have a ton to write in, whether it be in the monthly view or weekly view. Shipping was fast, and free, which was nice. It came in and let me tell you, I am HOOKED on these agendas! The size is perfect for what I need and has a lot of space for me to write in whatever I need. The pattern is bright, the pages are colorful and it's honestly so easy to navigate through. I am looking forward to using it :)

THREE

Yesterday my brother and I decided to spend the day in Toronto. Well, the fact I had an appointment up  there kind of helped our decision as well. We had beautiful weather so after my appointment, we went downtown and walked around and eventually ended up at the Eaton Centre. We ventured into the new Hudson's Bay store and I FELL IN LOVE! I wish our Hudson's Bay down here was like that. Okay, maybe not because then I would never see a paycheque. On our walk, we came across Nathan Phillips Square where they are setting up for the closing ceremonies of the ParaPan Am Games. It was actually interesting to see in person than on TV. Have any of you been watching the games?

FOUR

I think I may have accidentally found out who A is! I avoided all social networking for two days and then while browsing Instagram three days later, I saw something about who A is and let me tell you, if that is true, I am going to be very disappointed. I still haven't watched the final two episodes so I don't know what happened, but apparently, I am still in for a shock

FIVE

This explains it all ...
