Hello lovers!

I originally had planned on doing a mani on Sunday so I could blog about it today...

But then THIS happened...

My left thumb's been hurting for the past 3 weeks from crossfit.

I think it's from the medicine balls we've been throwing at the wall...I might have caught it the wrong way

And being a lefty, I use that hand for EVERYTHING!

It was really bothering me last week so I decided to go see a Chinese Massage Therapist

So that's what it looked like when I got home on Saturday.

A drumstick. Chicken tenders. Chicken McNuggets...okay I'll stop.

Needless to say it was painful, and swollen from all the massaging...

I woke up Sunday morning to THIS:

You guys...I have sausage hand....sausage fingers, and sausage patty....

I couldn't touch my thumb to my pinky....and I officially lost sight of my knuckles.
It was THAT swollen...

So I'm sorry friends, I won't be able to paint my nails for a while...

LOL

Sausage hand, signing out.

<3

Trying something new....

Got this yesterday in my fortune cookie. It must be a sign...lol

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up...The idea of growing up alone is scary to me lol

Anyway, I want to share some exciting news with you. 

I've recently discovered that I'm into nail art....HAHAHA Let me rephrase....

I recently discovered that I'm capable of doing nail art.

So I've decided that I'm going to go to school to learn more on how to become the 

-Chinese Nail Parlour Lady-

I haven't exactly enrolled into the class yet. But all signs are pointing towards YES.

So I'm going to go for it!

I'm excited! 

Read this quote on twitter this morning:

"When you're doing the work that you were meant to do, it feels right and everyday is a bonus regardless of what you're getting paid." -Oprah

Makes sense to me. 

Thanks, Oprah!

USE. DOTTING. TOOLS.

Hi Guys!!

My CrossFit Assessment Experience...on my nails

I know you're waiting anxiously for my post about yesterday's CrossFit experience...

Ready for the ultimate whinage?

MY ARMS HURRRRRRRRRT!!!! >.< 

So I was really nervous going into this, considering the fact that I can't remember the last time I worked out.

I did yoga...but I knew that it's nothing compared to what I was about to endure.

What is CrossFit? 

It is a strength and conditioning brand. 

CrossFit combines weightlifting, sprinting, and gymnastics (Source: web)

I only did the assessment yesterday. Which means...it wasn't even the full workout.

This was my face, THE WHOLE TIME

The coach was super nice, and encouraging...but I was secretly cursing his name in my head

...over and over and over again...

This was the workout he put me through:

500m row

40 squats

30 sit ups

20 tucked elbow push ups

10 PULL UPS AKA death

The rowing, squats and sit ups were okay....I got tired pretty quickly....

The push ups.

He made me tuck my elbows in...and I had to touch my chest to the ground for it to count as 1

There was a point where my chest touched the ground and I didn't get back up. The floor never felt so great.

Then came the pull ups.

Which inspired today's mani...and in case it wasn't clear enough...

I had trouble REACHING the monkey bars standing on the blocks in the first place.

THEN I HAD TO PULL MYSELF UP?! With the assistant band of course.

He didn't count it if my chin wasn't above the bars. *ugly cry*

Coach: That's it! You're done! Don't you feel great?

Me: Oh, thanks! I think I'm going to go to my car and cry now.

He laughed....but I wasn't joking

I couldn't feel my arms. I had trouble reaching for the seatbelt. I couldn't get changed...

Apparently, what I did was just the warm up. People who go to crossfit regularly do them in 7 minutes...

I did them in 14....HAHA FAIL!

In case you're wondering....I did the mani with these.

(Sidenote: heh Magic Nail....Just one. lol and see CAT in the back?)

But yes, I loved my ugly face so much, I had a little fun with it.

hahaha, I could do this all day!

The verdict?

I'm going back....on Monday.....haha, YAY CROSSFIT!!!
